Decision details

CAB 38/18 

Improvement Plan Quarter 4 Update

Options Considered/Reasons for Decision

The Leader presented the report, outlining progress in achieving the aims and objectives of the Improvement Plan 2016-18. 

In April 2016 Council approved eight Improvement Objectives for 2016-18 as required by the Local Government Measure 2009. The Improvement Objectives aligned with and contributed to the achievement of the Well-being Objectives as required by the Well-being of Future Generations Act (2015) agreed by Cabinet in March 2017.

It was reported that this would be the final Improvement Plan update as this reporting would be superseded by the joint reporting of the Improvement Plan and Well-being Objectives as agreed by Cabinet in April 2018.  An integrated year-end report would be presented to Cabinet for final sign off at full Council.  

The report outlined progress towards delivering the actions set out in the plan and the performance measures that supported those actions in 17/18.   The overall assessment of progress was classed as ‘Green – Good.’  The council continued to meet its obligation to demonstrate continuous improvement. 

In conclusion, the Leader noted the excellent results in the area of NEETs in particular, and the additional funding that had recently been secured nationally for youth services. 

Decisions:

1.    To note the progress made during the last quarter of 2017/18 regarding key actions and measures.

2.      To agree that corrective action be taken to address areas of underperformance.
