Members received a report briefing them on the outcome of York’s Annual Performance Assessment (APA) for 2008.  The APA is the nationally determined Ofsted process by which judgements are made on the quality of local children and young people’s services. The judgements contribute to the overall council rating each year.  

Members were delighted to note that the authority had achieved the best possible result and its performance had only been matched by two other authorities in the country.
