Each key result is represented by a specific measure. Each metric has been identified to provide some insight into the experience of residents in the local community.
All the indicators relate to the role of the council. Often several services will be working together towards each metric. Performance is influenced by a range of factors. Some of these are outside of the council’s control and will often need wider partner involvement.
Metrics on their own should not be taken in isolation. There are many elements that contribute towards each data set and the wider goal to be achieved. They are intended to provide a conversation starter across the system to get the best outcomes for residents.
