Performance Data

Performance data is collected four times every year via our Performance Management system (called Covalent).  This information is presented to and scrutinised by the Management Team and the Performance & Audit Committee.

A wide range of strategic performance indicators and actions based around our corporate priorities are monitored and reported on.  Our latest performance report to the Performance & Audit Committee is available in the Downloads section on this page.


National Indicators


To monitor performance across all local authorities, the Government has adopted a set of National Indicators that every authority is required to report its performance against each financial year (as from April 2008).  As an important part of its performance management framework, Forest Heath uses these nationally defined indicators, as well as a range of other local performance indicators to measure and monitor its performance.  For more information on the National Indicators set, please follow the Communities and Local Government website link in the Downloads section at the bottom of this page.

These new indicators replace the previous Best Value Performance Indicators, for which the last set of data was published on 30 June 2008.  Our performance data for 2007/08 can be viewed via the link in the Downloads section on this page.


Best Value Performance Plan


The statutory requirement for local authorities to produce a Best Value Performance Plan was removed in 2007, but we are still required to publish outturn performance data on the Best Value Performance Indicators and a statement certifying compliance with the Code of Practice on Workforce Matters.

Our Best Value performance data for 2007/08 and a statement on contracts and workforce matters is available via the link in the Downloads section below.
