Performance Indicators

Single Data Set (SDS) :

It is vital for central government to ask local authorities to collect some data. Some information is necessary in order for central government to meet its international obligations, and to account to Parliament and the public for its performance.

This list will provide in one place a single, clear list of the minimum data central Government needs from local authorities. The list will be open to regular review, scrutiny and challenge. For the latest list and updates please visit http://www.communities.gov.uk/localgovernment/decentralisation/tacklingburdens/singledatalist/

National Indicators (NI) :

The National Indicator Set (NIs), which has now been deleted, consisted of a wide range of indicators relating to local authorities. The NIs were designed to measure progress on national priorities. A small number of these have been retained locally.

Local Indicators (LI):

Local Indicators measure our local priorities. These also include retained BVPIs.

How is this information monitored and captured?

We have a Performance and Risk management system called TEN, which is used to monitor and record information from a corporate level to a service level.
