The Local Government Agency Type List (LGATL) is drafted by the esd-toolkit Multi-Agency Working group. It is designed to identify the types of agency with whom local authorities might work in partnership to deliver services. More widely, LGATL can be seen as listing the types of agency responsible for delivering services. Hence services in LGSL (see www.esd.org.uk/standards/lgsl) are delivered by agencies of the type "Local and regional government" within LGATL.
LGATL is published as a precursor to extensions to esd-toolkit to facilitate partnership working with agencies of multiple types.
LGATL version 0.01 was released on 25 April 2005:
