How We Are Performing
Hartlepool 's performance management arrangements have been developed over a number of years, continuously improving year-on-year. The purpose of the framework is to provide reassurance by providing clear, robust and reliable information on the direction of travel ensuring a clear line of accountability within the Council and across partners for taking further action.
The Partnership Plan is the action plan of the Community Strategy and is based around outcomes, performance indicators, targets, and actions with clear accountability at the organisational and management level. There are 2 types of performance indicators:
-
Targeted - those that will have targets set, against which performance will be assessed;
-
Monitored - those that will not have targets set, but where performance will be monitored for deterioration, and once a predetermined trigger has been met will be flagged for attention.
To drive forward delivery of the plan Theme Groups and partners are responsible for managing progress on the outcomes which fall within their remit. Progress on the Plan will be reported following the end of quarter 2 and quarter 4.
The principles of Sustainable Development have been taken into account when developing the plan and key indicators in our Plan have been identified as part of our reporting mechanism for sustainable development.
Household Surveys are regularly commissioned to help assess the impact of the Community Strategy on the Local Area.
Prior to the Partnership Plan performance was monitored through the Local Area Agreement.
