    Requested Tue 25 January 2022
    Responded  Thu 03 February 2022

    Please may you provide me with information on how your authority reports on its performance. Please provide written responses below each of the questions listed below (definitions have also been included below the questions):

    1. How do you report performance to residents?

    2. Do you have a Performance Management Handbook*?

    3. What budget do you have allocated towards your performance management* initiatives per annum?

    7. Do you benchmark or baseline your authority's performance with other similar authorities?

    Performance management*: Performance Management is about the practical ways that a council can improve what it does and, more importantly, what it delivers, in terms of good quality services that meet the needs of local people. Performance management is acting in response to actual performance to make outcomes for users and the public better than they would otherwise be.

    Performance Management Handbook*: A Performance Management Handbook sets out what a council does to; plan activity, monitor, report and improve performance, in relation to the services they deliver, and linked to the aims and objectives of the corporate plan.
