"What are local area agreements?" is an information leaflet for
LIOs and the broader third sector.
It explains how local area agreements (LAAs) work and why and how
third sector organisations should engage with them. It is now in an
updated second edition which includes information on multi-area
agreements (MAAs) and on how LAAs work in two-tier authorities.
You can order up to 500
copies to give to your members for free!
There is also a companion leaflet,
"Local area agreement - what's it got to do with me?" which is
aimed at citizens who are engaged in community action. It provides
a simple introduction to LAAs, making the links between community
activity and how people can influence decision making in their
local area with support from LIOs.
Hard copies of these publications can be ordered using the NAVCA
order form or emailing
Laura James.
These leaflets were developed by Robert Beard of
NAVCA's Improving Local
Partnerships Unit in response to demand from local TSOs during
the ILPU's Derbyshire pilot project.
