In addition to monitoring Best Value the Audit Commission require local authorities to undertake Regular Performance Assessments (RPA) as part of an ongoing Continuous Performance Assessment (CPA). These recognise that the focus and priorities in service delivery are not the same everywhere and state that as well as BVPIs, professional benchmarks (Chitty 2002) and/or other frameworks, for example the Regional Research Frameworks where appropriate, should be used.

In Wales the four HERs are owned and managed by the Welsh Archaeological Trusts (WATs). The WATs are independent charitable trusts, part funded by the Welsh Government to provide regional archaeological services. Some additional financial support is provided by a number of the local authorities. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW) provides task specific grant aid for maintaining and enhancing the records, while funding to support public enquiries is provided by Cadw. Cadw and RCAHMW monitor the provision of archaeological services on behalf of the Welsh Government. The HER Benchmarks (Chitty 2002) have been adapted for use in Wales.

Take time to gain a thorough understanding of the HER's current strength or weaknesses. The Historic Environment Records: Benchmarks for Good Practice (Chitty 2002) suggests standards which all HER's should be working towards. How does your service compare against these benchmarks and other HERs? What factors have influenced services in the past? Are there any current requirements and needs?

List all activities or projects that are currently identified. Ask yourself why they are included in your programme and how important they are to present needs. [Panel 2|http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/ifp/Wiki.jsp?page=SectionB.2#section-SectionB.2-Panel2ASelfAssessmentChecklistOfStandardsForHERServices] gives a self assessment checklist of standards for HER services based on the recommendations included in David Baker’s ‘SMR Assessment Report’ (Baker 1999a).

On the basis of managers knowledge of the HER, the results of the self-assessment process and documents such as the Benchmarks for Good Practice (Chitty 2002) write down your vision for the future. You should be realistic and separate out achievable elements that most effectively deliver the HER's mission.

Set goals and objectives that the HER can aim to achieve over a 3 to 5 year period. It is no good trying to create fully detailed monument records from a major compilation backlog if, for example the HER is not MIDAS compliant (Lee 1998) and staff resources are not in place.
