The users guide will help you to understand the main features of the toolkit and how it can assist in measuring your local authority's financial resilience and building their capabilities to withstand shocks from (un)expected disruptive events/crises.

By reflecting on the capacities and organisational conditions that characterise local authorities in their daily life, it is possible for the toolkit users to identify the strengths and weaknesses that allow their LAs to be more or less prepared for uncertainties/unforeseen events, therefore to be more or less resilient.

The toolkit aims to help users reflect on capacities from two automatically generated reports (external and internal) which will provide a holistic picture of Local Authority’s financial resilience and vulnerability level.

• The external report dashboard allows users to compare their local authority with peer authorities with (dis)similar characteristics;

• The internal report enables sector (department) heads to gain insights and make deeper reflections based on an internal self-assessment tool, enabling local authorities to start a dialogue about available capacities and how they could be utilised efficiently to build and sustain their financial resilience.
