The document summarizes Stockport Council's experience with piloting the Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) process and self-evaluation tool. It discusses key lessons learned including the shift to evaluating outcomes at an area level rather than individual organizations, the importance of data quality and evidence, and ensuring an honest and locally-focused self-assessment. It also outlines next steps such as acting on lessons from the pilot, improving communications and intelligence, and developing a project plan to minimize additional burdens from the new CAA framework.
