Decision - Performance Improvement Report

1.       The alternative option would be not to review the performance of the CYPT Partnership at a strategic level. This is not recommended, as it would undermine the effectiveness of the CYPT’s governance and partnership arrangements.

2.       The content and presentation of the PIR is kept under constant review.  Performance reports are presented by exception only.  An alternative option would be to reduce the length of the PIR.

1.       That the data and analysis in the PIR be noted and the action being taken to improve performance be agreed.

2.       That it be noted and agreed that the new duties and governance arrangements emerging from the The Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009, along with the emerging performance management arrangements corporately, will inform and shape the performance management arrangements for the Children and Young People’s Trust.

3.       In view of 2.2 above, that it be noted and agreed that the performance reporting framework for the new Children and Young People’s Plan (CYPP) should be developed in January 2010 in light of these changes, with a view to a bi-annual CYPP report being presented to the Board on March 22, 2010 covering the period up to December 2009.

1.       The Children’s Trust and the CYPTB have a responsibility to continuously look at ways to improve well being for children, young people and their families and rigorous, flexible performance review is part of that process.
