Publication scheme 'What our priorities are and how we are doing'
Performance management
We aim to deliver public services which meet the needs of the community and provide value for money. How we manage our performance is set out in our Performance Management Framework. This includes making sure our data is high quality and fit for purpose as set out in our Data Quality Policy.
Performance monitoring
We have a number of processes in place to monitor our performance including:
- Council Priorities – as set out in the Corporate Plan
- Actions - contributing to the delivery of our Priorities
- Measures - both leading and lagging to monitor how well we are meeting our values. (We adopted a systems thinking approach in 2012 and our measures replace key performance indicators (KPIs)).
- Progress with our actions and measures is considered by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee in quarterly reports.
Annual audits
Annual audit information is contained within our Financial Strategy. In addition, regular reports are provided to the Corporate Leadership Team, Cabinet and Scrutiny Committees. Employees and the public are kept up to date with news releases and bulletins.
