Corporate Assessment
The Corporate Assessment takes place every three years, and is an examination of the performance of the council, in order to support our continuous improvement. Peterborough City Council is due for a Corporate Assessment in 2006.
 
The corporate assessment looks at 5 assessment themes:
 
  • Ambition
  • Prioritisation
  • Capacity
  • Performance Management
  • Achievement
 
The achievement theme includes achievements in five areas:
 
  • Sustainable Communities and Transport
  • Safer and Stronger Communities
  • Healthier Communities
  • Older People
  • Children and Young People

 

The assessment is based upon Key Lines of Enquiry which describe what the inspectors will be looking for. Click on this link to download the Audit Commissions Key Lines of Enquiry.
 
The last time that Peterborough City Council was assessed was in 2002.
 
Self Assessment
As part of the Corporate Assessment process, we will soon be submitting our Self Assessment document.  This highlights the vision of Peterborough City Council, the progress that we have made as an authority and the improvements we intend to deliver in order to provide the best service to our customers.
 
The information in the self-assessment document and the evidence it provides will be used to help the CPA inspection team make judgements regarding the scope and focus of their fieldwork.
 
The self-assessment will be used as evidence of our self-awareness of our current position and capacity to deliver improved outcomes for local people.
