Introduction
The appendix has been organised by the five Council Plan themes: Thriving Places and Empowered Communities, Sustainable and Connected Places, Safe, Healthy and Living Well, Maximise the Potential and One Council. There are 171 KPI’s in total, with 107 reported on a quarterly basis and 64 reported on an annual basis.
RAG – An indication of the level of performance an indicator is currently achieving in relation to a set target or national benchmarking level for that indicator. While the RAG rating is linked to the two “Improvement since last” markers, it is a standalone measure, measured by performance to either the target or benchmarking.
|
|
Green - Current performance is on or exceeding target, whether in relation to target or national benchmarking |
|
Red - Current performance is significantly below expected standards, whether in relation to target or national benchmarking. |
|
Baseline - Indicates performance is currently being tracked to inform the benchmarking / target setting process. |
|
|
Amber - Current performance is below expected standards, whether in relation to target or national benchmarking |
|
Contextual - These measures present a rounded view of information relevant to the service area although performance may not be within the control of the Council. |
|
In Development - The KPI has been agreed, but data collection is needed to inform performance levels. |
“DoT” – Current Direction of Travel when
compared to the last annual or quarterly figures. This is a
measure of how the indicator is moving over two periods –
Annual and Quarterly. Key:
|
|
Direction of travel is positive compared to the year-end or last quarter figures |
|
Direction of Travel is negative compared to the year-end or last quarter figures |
|
Performance is static to last year’s outturn or last quarter’s figures |
