Essex Strategy and LAA objectives

The Essex Strategy

The Essex Strategy is the 10 year strategic vision for the county and is implemented alongside 12 Sustainable Communities Strategies (SCS) which are unique to each District.  However issues exist which are common to all, identified as the 'Wicked Issues' facing the County through the 2009 Essex Strategy Review process, these are: -

1. Reducing Health Inequalities
2. Safeguarding the Most Vulnerable
3. Improving Educational Attainment and Skills
4. Improving Community Safety
5. Strengthening Communities
6. Promoting Sustainable Economic Growth
7. Mitigating Climate Change

The Local Area Agreement

The Essex Local Area Agreement (LAA) is an agreement with the Government and the county’s Local Strategic Partnerships, the voluntary sector and other public services including Health and the Police. The agreement sets outcomes and targets to be achieved over a three-year period.  Essentially it is the delivery arm of the Essex Strategy with the overarching vision: -

“To support Essex people to liberate their potential to enjoy the best quality of life in Britain”

To achieve this relies on delivery at a local level.  Brentwood LSP has identified the following LAA Performance Indicators which it will 'have regard to'.
