• Performance management - business planning, performance analysis and improvement planning
• Corporate performance information
• Liaison with inspectorates and internal auditors
• Trends, projections and comparisons on local profiles and performance, including public perceptions
• Gathers and develops intelligence and research data
• Statistical and analytical reports
• Data quality
• Developing partnerships with communities and external agencies

Performance

Our performance is measured by the Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework which is made up of four areas (called Domains).

1. Enhancing quality of life for people with care and support needs
2. Delaying and reducing the need for care and support
3. Ensuring that people have a positive experience of care and support
4. Safeguarding adults whose circumstances make them vulnerable and protecting against avoidable harm

This framework ‘sits alongside' the NHS and Public Health Outcomes Framework.

The directorate Business Plan sets out what we will do both to contribute to the council's corporate priorities and to deliver the directorate's own service aims and objectives.
