The structure
of the new Association enables operation at both UK-wide and
national level in response to particular issues. The framework
for this is set by the ALGAO:UK Strategy 2006-11..
|
| The ALGAO:UK
Executive Committee co-ordinates initiatives and addresses policy
issues at a strategic level as well as providing member and
financial services. |
| |
| At national
level implementation of the ALGAO:UK strategy often requires
different approaches given the varying legislative, planning
and policy frameworks, and the need to work in partnership with
devolved government, and different national agencies and organisations.
Three national associations, ALGAO:England, ALGAO:Scotland and
ALGAO:Cymru, carry out the much of the Association's work, each
guided by their own implementation strategy, and overseen by
the UK Executive.
Each of these Association has its own Strategy and Implementation
Plan linked to that of ALGAO:UK. |
| |
| Specialist
subject committees address issues at strategic level, involving
representatives from key partner organisations as well as the
wider ALGAO membership. The work of the subject committees,
especially the involvement of partner organisations and other
local authority staff, has been key to the success of ALGAO
in the past. As a forum for developing strategic policy and
approaches there are benefits for many of the subject committees
in operating at UK wide level, although it is recognised that
aspects relating to implementation may need to be considered
by the relevant national Associations. The
present subject committees are: Planning and Legislation, Historic
Environment Records, Countryside, Historic Buildings, Urban,
Maritime, and European issues. |

|
ALGAO:England
retains its structure of regional committees, co-incident
with the government regions, in order to facilitate liaison
with other regional organisations.
Both
subject and regional committees are guided by their own terms
of reference but operate within the framework of the national
constitutions and UK strategy.
