LAAs have been heralded by some as the beginning of a new dawn for devolution, and symptons of a more productive relationship between central government and local delivery agencies. Councils have fought hard for their new found freedoms and flexibilities, and are working with their partners to ensure that LAAs deliver positive outcomes for those involved and, more importantly, for citizens and local communities.

As well as hearing the findings and recommendations of the LAA Success report, you will also hear from a panel of speakers including:

James Blake, Deputy Director, Local Area Agreements and Partnerships, LSPs and Performance and Practice Directorate, CLG
Anthony Brand, report author
Rachel Litherland, National Advisor – Partnerships, IDeA
David Walker, Managing Director of Communications and Public Reporting, Audit Commission
Chair: Chris Leslie, Director, NLGN
