The report before Members set out the Quarter 1 performance report as requested by the Overview & Scrutiny Sub-Committees.

In 2017/18, the Board decided to scrutinise a selection of more operational performance indicators, determined by the six Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committees. For Quarter 1 performance reporting, those indicators had been carried forward into 2018/19 and the report provided an overview of how the Council was performing against them. Greater detail was provided in the six sub-committee reports.

Several of the Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committees were in the process of reviewing the performance indicators they tracked, so there was likely to be further changes to the suite of indicators reported to the Overview and Scrutiny Board as the year progressed.

Following a trial without them during 2017/18, tolerances around targets (and therefore the amber RAG rating) had been reinstated for 2018/19 performance reporting.

The report also highlighted areas where the Council was performing well and also included areas where improvements were required.

Appended to the report was the full Quarter 1 performance report.

The Board reviewed the performance set out in the report’s appendix and the corrective action that was being taken to improve where necessary.

It was noted that the Children & Learning Sub-Committee had yet to decide which indicators it wished to scrutinise.
