To submit the report of the Head of Profession, HR and Transformation.

It was resolved to accept the Scorecard monitoring report for Q1 2019/20, to note the areas which the Senior Leadership Team is managing to secure improvements into the future and to accept the mitigation measures as outlined in the report.

The report of the Head of Profession (Human Resources) and Transformation incorporating the Corporate Scorecard for Quarter 1 2019/20 was presented for the Executive’s consideration.

The Portfolio Member for Corporate Services reported that the first scorecard of the 2019/20 financial year shows that the majority of the indicators monitored are performing well against targets with very few areas showing red on the scorecard. Where there are underperforming areas, mitigating actions are being implemented to raise the performance into Quarter 2 (section 4 of the report refers).

The Programme, Business Planning and Performance Manager advised that following a workshop in the summer with members of the SLT, the Executive and Shadow Executive some changes to the scorecard have been made in order to provide a more strategic overview of performance; the changes have also led to a closer alignment between the performance monitoring KPIs and the Council’s three strategic objectives as set out in paragraph 2.1 of the report.

Councillor Aled Morris Jones, Chair of the Corporate Scrutiny Committee reported that the Scrutiny Committee at its 11 September meeting had discussed the areas where there had been a decline in aspects of performance in Quarter 1 in relation to housing, planning and children’s services. The Committee in noting the mitigating actions those services were taking to improve performance in the areas in question as clarified by the Officers at the meeting, had accepted the assurances provided regarding the progress being made.
