Our approach to developing Calderdale’s Local Area Agreement (LAA) reflects our partnership approach. Partner Theme Leads have led the development of LAA outcomes against the themes in out Community Strategy (Calderdale Futures Plan).

Calderdale’s Local Area Agreement currently has 36 long-term goals (outcomes) Examples of outcomes include: reducing crime (Safer and Stronger Communities theme), keeping children and young people safe (Children and Young People theme), improving health and reducing health inequalities (Healthier Communities theme), improving the economic wellbeing of older people (Older People theme), increasing employment for disadvantaged groups (Economy and Enterprise theme), and improving access to affordable, sustainable housing (Environment theme).

Each outcome has one or more targets that enable us to measure progress towards achieving the outcome. Some targets are ‘mandatory’, meaning that we are required by government to deliver them.
