Single Outcome Agreement
Single Outcome Agreements are agreements between the Scottish Government and each council which set out how each will work in the future towards improving national outcomes for local people in a way that reflects local circumstances and priorities.
The Angus Single Outcome Agreement 2008-09 (SOA) has been developed following extensive consultation within the Angus Community Planning Partnership in order to reflect local priorities.
In the Angus SOA, outcomes are expressed as a long term vision, with intermediate outcomes held within Thematic Group plans for each of eight Thematic Partnership Groups. These groups range from the Angus Economic Development Partnership to the Community Care and Health Executive Group to the Angus Rural and Environment Partnership.
The Angus Community Planning Partnership manages the Single Outcome Agreement, with the Thematic Partnership Groups managing the respective plans for their own area of work. The intermediate outcomes in thematic plans are linked through the priorities of the Angus Council Corporate Plan to the actions set out in Angus Council Service Plans.
To further improve the links between service actions and the Angus SOA, since December 2008, Angus Council committee reports, with some exceptions, have been required to note the SOA outcomes that they contribute to.
Further information on the Single Outcome Agreement and Community Planning Partnership performance can be found in SOA reports and in a number of pages on the Angus Community Planning web site. The Scottish Government web site also has a performance reporting page that sets out progress against the fifteen National Outcomes that all SOAs are aligned with.
