Figures
We already collect and keep a range of figures so we can understand how we are doing compared to other areas and to our previous performance. Figures can help us identify patterns and trends. The Council’s Policy, Performance and Research Team supports us to capture and provide the data necessary to answer our critical questions. ( ‘how often?’, ‘how many?’ and ‘how much?’ ). All leaders across education, health and care use figures to understand the current position and any trends. This informs our strategic plans, including local planning in schools and settings, and in teams across health and social care. Leaders look at themes to understand where particular pressures are and to understand what we do well and what we should celebrate. We also use figures to understand where we might not be doing as well as we could, so we can make plans to improve.
Figures are captured from
- Workforce data
- Key national performance indicators (SEN2)
- Regional benchmarking reports
- Partnership data
- Financial reporting
- Locally agreed performance indicators
- Single agency / team level data
