LAA Indicators

NI 7 Environment for a thriving third sector

No baseline or historical data for this indicator.

GOSW suggest target would be 'a measurable increase' which for B&NES is deemed to be 4.1%94.

Under discussions with VCS Steering Group and GOSW. The headline indicator 'how do the local statutory bodies in your area influence your organisation's success?' may not be the most useful part of the survey. Discussions underway on the basis of setting targets for sub questions in the survey. If this is the case, this indicator may come out of the LAA set and become and 'local' indicator.

NI 16 Serious acquisitive crime rate

GOSW to send baseline data and target setting guidance when it becomes available.

Potentially will need to be a placeholder in the LAA as targets not set in time for deadline.

Indicator to be measured through the Place Survey. Latest update is that this will be delayed until 2009.

Placeholder in LAA for now.
