Single Outcome Agreements 2009-10
This briefing paper provides an overview of the 2nd round of Single Outcome Agreements (SOAs) which were signed-off by the Scottish Government and Community Planning Partnerships (CPPs) in June 2009. It examines topics such as the principles underpinning the 2nd round of SOAs, their qualitative content, as well as the arrangements in place for their scrutiny. The paper also includes a section on the third sector. The 2009-10 SOAs differ from the first round agreements in that all CPPs were required to have signed up to their relevant SOA in the second round. For the first round of SOAs only local authorities were required to have signed up to the agreements. In practice, half of CPPs signed up to the SOA for their area.
