Quarterly performance monitoring report against the Corporate Plan priorities - Quarter 2

The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to note this report.

Cabinet considered a quarterly performance monitoring report against the Corporate Plan priorities for Quarter 2.

Councillor Alan Armitage, Opposition Deputy Leader, commented that there was still little in the report on risk management and it would be better to take the wording out of the heading if information was not provided. He queried why a reported decrease in participation by 16-19 year olds in education, employment in training or training from 40.8% in September 2011to 26.9% in September 2012 had not triggered a red warning. He further queried the reported figures in relation to the Customer Service Centre.

Cabinet noted that risk management was considered primarily by the Audit & Governance Committee and that this report contained exception reporting only. It was explained that each RAG rating covered a number of targets  and it was necessary to look behind the rating to the detail. Often an amber rating indicated that most were on track or that remedial action was in place.

RESOLVED:             to note the report.
