How we will monitor progress
To monitor the impact of our work, a small suite of long-term success measures will be reported on annually, many of which will require the support of our partners across the borough.
Alongside the Council Plan, we will produce an annual Year Ahead Delivery Plan, setting out the actions and activities we will undertake to work towards improving the long-term success measures. This will include performance output measures, where appropriate, to help monitor the impact of our work.
Six monthly public reports will be produced for Cabinet in January and July to track our progress. The reports will be available on the Council’s website and will include updates on the Year Ahead Delivery Plan activities, alongside case studies. Each year-end report will include progress against the long-term success measures.
Our policy drivers will help to ensure that the changes we are making are having a positive impact for all of our residents, that we are working with people rather than ‘doing to’ them, and that we focus on prevention wherever possible to improve outcomes for people and reduce long-term pressures and costs.
We will take action to improve outcomes for different communities and protected characteristic groups and break down barriers, publishing equality analyses to ensure appropriate consideration of equality, diversity and inclusion. We will also demonstrate our commitment to considering climate impacts through the publication of carbon impact assessments.
Within directorates, on an annual basis, each Assistant Director is required to produce a service plan to demonstrate their contribution to the delivery of the Council Plan, which in turn will inform team plans and individual performance and development reviews.
