Agenda item

To consider progress on the Corporate Performance Management Framework.

Resolved:-

(1)   that the progress made on developing the Corporate Performance Management Framework be noted;

(2)   that the Q1 monitoring reports be approved;

(3)   that the Strategic Risk Register (SRR) as set out in Appendix 8 be noted.

                  Consideration was given to the progress made on developing the Corporate Performance Framework and the Strategic Risk Register. 

Council approved a corporate Performance Management Framework (PMF) on 12 April 2022, to address the recommendations of the Governance Value for Money Review by Grant Thornton and as a key element of the Council’s Improvement Plan.

Since April, the corporate PMF had been further refined, built into business processes and performance monitoring information had been gathered for Q1 of 2022/23.

                  Reasons for decision

The Directions issued by the Secretary of State, including the

requirement to have a performance management framework in place, were a statutory requirement and the council had a legal obligation to respond appropriately. Failure to do so would likely result in further intervention measures.

Alternative options considered

The council had various options on what type of performance

management framework to establish. Our approach had been developed through understanding the needs of the organisation and drawing on best practice from other local authorities. As we continue our improvement journey, the PMF would evolve to meet our changing requirements.

Agreed:-

(1)     that the progress made on developing the Corporate Performance Management Framework be noted;

(2)     that the Q1 monitoring reports for Performance Management Framework be approved;

(3)     that the Strategic Risk Register, as now submitted, be noted.
