That the End of Year Performance Monitoring Report be noted.

            The Senior Manager (Business Change and Support) introduced the report which provided an overview of the levels of progress in the achievement of activities, performance levels and current risk levels as identified in the Council Plan.    The key performance targets for attendance, exclusions or not in education or employment for the last council year had been unable to be collected due to schools being closed.  The Senior Manager was pleased to highlight the three performance targets which had moved to green and yellow which included the youth justice system which had met a reduction for first time entrance into the youth justice system. 

The Senior Manager (Business Change and Support) referred to Councillor Mackie’s earlier comments around support for school governors and advised that information on safeguarding, access to 360 training and questions that governors could ask were available through Governors Cymru which schools could access.  She suggested that this be included as an action from the meeting to remind governors that they had access to this very helpful resource website. 

            Councillor Mackie referred to the exceptions reporting format which was clear and easy to read especially the notes at the bottom and welcomed the ability for Members to fully understand the data that was being presented. 

The recommendation, as outlined within the report, was moved and seconded by Councillors Gladys Healey and Ian Smith.

RESOLVED:

That the End of Year Performance Monitoring Report be noted.
