Learning from CPA 2005

The fire and rescue service performance web tool accompanies the Audit Commission's report Learning from Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA) for the Fire and Rescue Service in England 2005 published in January 2006.

Knowing your communities web tool

The web-based system, Knowing Your Communities: User Focus and Diversity Toolkit, allows councils to measure how well they are engaging with residents and how well they understand and respond to their needs and aspirations.

The toolkit enables councils to undertake a self-assessment and compare themselves with other councils. It helps them plan how to improve the services they provide and the quality of life experienced by all service users and taxpayers; particularly those people who are marginalised or disadvantaged and have fewer choices.
