The Council's Organisational Assessment
The Council has received its first results under CAA in December 2009. This assessed performance during the 2008/2009 financial year. 

The assessment judged the Council at a score of 1 out of 4 - 'An organisation that does not meet minimum requirements - Performs Poorly.'

For Managing Performance it scored:

2 out of 4 -  'An organisation that meets only minimum requirements - Performs Adequately,'

For Use of Resources it scored:

1 out of 4 - 'An organisation that does not meet minimum requirements- Performs Poorly.'

Despite the overall poor score, the Council is very encouraged by the Audit Commission's clear recognition that the council is continuing to make significant improvements in its performance and has an optimistic approach to future assessments.
