Report of the Assistant Director, Childrens Services

The Assistant Director, Children’s Services, submitted a report (previously circulated) to provide an overview of the current Performance Indicators used within the Scrutiny process and to consider appropriate next steps in relation to a review of the Performance Indicators.

The submitted report highlighted that Children’s Services provide a range of statutory services and functions on behalf of the Council, as well as being a regulated service, subject to regular Inspection and judgement by OFSTED.  It was stated that as part of these processes Children’s Services were duty bound to measure their performance through a range of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). 

Discussion ensued on Member access to the raw data in light of guidance received from the Local Government Association.

RESOLVED – That a Task and Finish Group be established to review the Performance Indicators used within the Scrutiny process.
