The revised arrangements introduced through the Comprehensive Area Assessment raises the bar by assessing Use of Resources (UoR) in a broader way than previously, embracing the use of natural, physical and human resources. It also places new emphasis on commissioning services for local people and achieving value for money.

These two-day events offer an ideal opportunity for your organisation to understand what is required from the new regime, and develop and/or strengthen an improvement plan to ensure you maximise your next UoR score.
