Our shared impact
To understand the challenges and opportunities faced by people and organisations in the borough, we use a set of key indicators agreed with partners. The measures are influenced by regional, national, and even international events, but we can use them to help us understand the impact of local actions across our partnerships. The Council reports on these as part of its quarterly performance reporting.
As part of our ongoing partnership review, we are hearing how important measuring our impact is, and so we will continue to report on this information for the benefit of council services and partners. We have heard, however, that the outcome categories should be updated, as most were agreed eight years ago. This will be done in consultation with partners through the year.
