Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA) is a tool for improvement, which measures how well local authorities including fire authorities are delivering services for local people and communities.

Fire and Rescue CPA results were first published in 2005 and FRAs have since been following a programme of improvement led by the Department of Communities and Local Government and supported by the Audit Commission.
