One of the most important roles for the LSP is to constantly look at whether the priorities in the Braintree District Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) are actually being achieved.

It is essential that we look at whether the actions we take are making people healthier, reducing crime, improving the educational attainment of school pupils and making services more accessible to residents.

In early 2008, the Government released a new set of National Indicators which all councils and public services must use to assess the way they provide services.  Click on the link to 'National Indicators'.

These indicators are being used to make sure that we are meeting the priorities of the  Braintree District Sustainable Community Strategy and the  Essex Local Area Agreement.

The LSP's Steering Group receives regular highlight reports from the Partnership Boards on project and activity delivery and performance and suggest how problems can be overcome.

If issues on delivery and performance are identified by the Steering Group they are reported 'by exception' to the Executive Group who will make recommendations back to the Partnership Boards.
