Introduction and Context – the build blocks

Welcome to the Council’s Performance Dashboard for Quarter 2 (2019/20). This dashboard is part of our corporate business planning process which includes our corporate plan.

In 2018, with the introduction of new leadership at both the member and officer level there was recognition for the need to re-energise our corporate business planning process. This view was further cemented by our peers as a clear outcome of our LGA Peer Review that was undertaken in June 2018 who indicated that a regular corporate monitoring performance report should be reinstated to support and inform strong decision making.

Alongside the changes within the Council, our work with our local partners in the Vision Partnership has also undergone change which will help us progress the Bolton 2030 agenda.

This was done whilst also recognising that we’re at a pivotal point locally in the development of the Greater Manchester devolution agenda. As a result, our priorities have been clearly aligned to the GM Strategy, recognising there are inevitably some differences in terms of local priorities and opportunities which we will need to balance.

The Bolton Council Performance Framework ensures that the Council’s visions and priorities highlighted in Bolton2030 are translated in to clear plans and measurable outcomes to be delivered by the directorates within the organisation.

The performance framework will set out expectations at a Vison level, right through to individual services, ensuring it reports on key performance indicators (KPIs) within each strand as shown below. Introduction and Context – the building blocks

A cross-directorate project group is responsible for the maintenance of this performance management framework, with the aim to create a holistic approach to performance reporting. The team recognise that this is an evolving process to ensure informed decision making. The group has developed a set of KPI’s for the three directorates within the organisation which will feed in to the corporate dashboard. This will further evolve into a piece which reflects the Councils requirement with regards to intelligence led decision making processes.

The Corporate Performance Dashboard has been set out to report quarterly and annually on a range of headline and supporting indicators to help us and our stakeholders determine how we are performing as an organisation and whether we are delivering on the council’s priorities but also reflective of GMCA priorities.

The Corporate Performance Dashboard is split via the four directorates; Place, People Services, Public Health and Chief Executive’s. Within each directorate sits several indicators which have been reviewed and agreed by the directorate’s chief officers. Performance against these indicators will best reflect the direction of travel in line with the directorate priorities, Bolton 2030 and Greater Manchester Strategy.

• Bolton2030 Vision Outcomes • Directorate priority • Link to Greater Manchester strategy priorities where applicable • Provides meaningful intelligence to inform strategy, decisions and delivery • Data readily available, for example some KPI’s may be reported quarterly whilst others may be reported annually • Understandable and meaningful • To enable comparison and benchmarking

The number of indicators for each directorate are as follows:

Chief Executives: People and Public Public Health Place: 6 indicators Health: 4 indicators 9 indicators 12 indicators

Complaints Delayed Transfers of care attributable to Adult Premature CVD mortality Employment Rate Social Care per 100,000 population Request for Information / Long-term support needs Business Growth Rate / Subject Access met by admission to Life Expectancy (Male) New Business Start Requests residential and nursing Ups care homes Corporate Income % YP academic age 16 Life Expectancy (Female) Level 4 Qualifications and 17 NEET Council Tax /Business Proportion of Section 42 Level 2 Qualifications / Rates Enquiries where the Risk Physically active adults Adult and Community is either reduced or Learning removed Corporate Savings Good level of Net Additional Programme development at Early Dwellings / Band D and Years Foundation Stage above Properties (EYFS) Staff sickness Rate (per 10,000) subject Visitor Economy /

Average Progress 8 score per pupil Percentage of Primary Schools Good or Better Percentage of Secondary Schools Good or Better

The baselines for each indicator have been worked up differently depending on what the indicator is. For example, some baselines draw in previous years to measure against, whilst others don’t have a baseline given the nature of what they are reporting on. For some indicators, the previous quarter will be as an indicator where applicable.

Targets have been set for the majority of indicators, these targets will be measured against each quarter and will determine the direction of travel and RAG rating for each indicator. The targets have been set based on previous performances as well as expected outturns.

The cross-directorate project team will collate and review the detail to ensure it’s in a reasonable state for Scrutiny via CLT, DLT and key stakeholders each quarter.

This will be part of an exercise to ensure an open data medium is put in place for the Council going forward.

Development in GM and the Bolton Vision partnership will be reformed and reflected in this exercise also.

To determine how we are performing against our key performance indicators a graphical representation has been used.

The direction of travel determines how the indicator is performing against the baseline set. For example, if the number of complaints we received was seen to be reducing, this would be considered improving and would receive an upwards arrow.

The RAG rating is used to determine whether we are on target or not for improving on the KPI. For example, if the target for residents with level 4 qualifications or higher was 25% and we report we currently have 30% of residents with a level 4 qualification or higher, this would be deemed green as it is above target.

Direction of Travel RAG Rating

Improving G On or above target

The same A Below target

Worsening R Off target

Good is… Explanation / Example Higher Explanation - An increase against the measure Example – Life expectancy, for this particular indicator good would be considered a higher life expectancy age

Lower Explanation - A decrease against the measure Example – Staff sickness, lower staff sickness would be considered good Achieved Explanation - The indicator has been reached, this is usually for indicators that are task focused Example – Savings, if we need to make savings within a certain time period, if these savings are made within the timescales then this would be considered achieved

The Chief Executive’s directorate has been referenced first as it has a unique role of measuring the health of the organisation as well as the performance of the directorate. The Chief Executive’s also acts as an enabler for other parts of the organisation.

The new council tax per household is then multiplied by the tax base to give an overall total for the amount of £150,000,000 council tax which will be collected.

£100,000,000 Business rates – each business property in the borough is assigned a rateable value by the Valuation Office Agency. Central government set each year the rate to be collected from businesses. This rate is multiplied by a business’s rateable value to determine the amount collected. Prior to 2017/18 the council passed 50% over to central government who re-distributed it. Since 2017/18 £50,000,000 certain councils including Bolton have been allowed to keep all the business rates they collect (except for 1% which goes to the Fire Service) in exchange for additional services such as Public Health.

There is a clear need to maintain the drive to prevent CVD deaths, which still account for one in four of all deaths, and reduce the gap in avoidable deaths and ill health from CVD between the most and least deprived since 40% of amenable internal inequality gap. Smoking remains a major CVD deaths occur in the most deprived areas of England. cause of CVD and efforts to reduce the number of people smoking will reduce cases of CVD. The national NHS Health Checks programme plays an important part in identifying CVD risk factors. Local authorities are responsibility for funding and arrangements for local delivery of this programme and the Public Health Department works closely with Bolton CCG to secure delivery via all GP practices in the town. Bolton’s NHS Health Check Programme is amongst the best performing areas in the country.

However there are many other ways of finding the people most at risk alongside wider action to enable healthier behaviours. Whole system effort is required. To this end, Healthy life expectancy is proposed as a cross cutting outcome for Bolton’s Vision partnership in order to focus collective action and stimulate a coordinated approach to improving health across the partners.

The final ‘positive destinations’ survey reporting on the academic year 18-19 will be available in January 2020 following a second stage survey. The college provision is typically less active during July, August and September. 2177 residents benefited from a range of community learning provision, resulting in 4437 enrolments during 19-20. 40% of these were on courses preparing them for skills for employment and/or enterprise. This includes entry into the workforce and workplace advancement. 28% of these were on courses to improve ESOL, Maths and English. Bolton College hosted its first Young People’s Open Event of the academic year. Hundreds of young people visited the college for the event, to learn more about its vast range of study programmes and apprenticeships. 1% is a proportion of resident population of area aged 16-64 2Targets included in Bolton’s Economic Strategy Source: ONS annual population survey | Frequency: Annual

Bolton Pride returned for a three-day festival weekend. The festival was launched five years ago as a hate crime awareness campaign. It is a is a non-profit organisation which brings together the diverse communities of Bolton, organising a number of events throughout the year that celebrate local LGBT+ communities.

The 14th Bolton Food and Drink Festival was a huge success. Hundreds of Bolton Council staff and partners work tirelessly to organise and deliver the event, described by celebrity chef and regular star guest James Martin as “the best food and drink festival in the UK”. This year, 400,000 visitors flocked to the event, smashing last year’s record. A new restaurant, ‘The Northern’, from Bolton-born chef Paul Heathcote opened in our beautiful Albert Halls Bolton in August 2019.

The catering partnership between the Albert Halls and Heathcote’s & Co will run for 10 years. This follows an extensive search to find a quality food provider that reflects the architectural grandeur of the Grade II listed venue. Tour of Britain competitors cycled through Bromley Cross, Egerton, Horwich and Blackrod, with national TV coverage through-out the event. Iron Man and Iron Kids events are well established in Bolton.

This year, Bolton greeted thousands of athletes, their families and visitors for a three-day Ironman sporting spectacular. 3,000 children took part in the world’s largest IronKids race. Bolton hosted its first 5k Night Run, followed by the Ironman UK triathlon.

Commentary: During Q2, Community Safety has launched the Early Intervention Youth Fund Project, which aims to support young people at risk of serious violence (either perpetrating or becoming a victim) and provides 12 weeks of individual mentoring and support. This is just one part of a suite of activity to tackle and prevent violent crime, funded by £300,000 from the Combined Authority. Also, during quarter two, the process to award the contract for the provision of the Independent Domestic Violence Advisory Service has been finalised. This will ensure the ongoing delivery of comprehensive support to the highest risk victims of domestic abuse and their families. Our work in relation to modern slavery has resulted in the delivery of two local conferences with over 100 local practitioners in attendance at each. We have also developed a programme with Bolton CVS and local voluntary sector partners to engage with communities disproportionately affected by issues of modern slavery. 1 This figure includes victim based hate crime 2 Higher because of historic under-reporting Source: This data is owned by Greater Manchester Police and is reported through Bolton’s Be Safe Strategic Partnership.
