The Government's priorities for delivery over the three year period starting in April 2008 were identified in the 2007 Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) and expressed through a new set of Public Service Agreements (PSAs).
The national indicator set is a key element of the new performance framework for local government, as outlined in the Local Government White Paper Strong and Prosperous Communities in October 2006.
The esd-toolkit hosts a tree view of national indicators where you can find details of each indicator.
The national indicator set will underpin the new Local Area Agreements (LAAs), supporting joined-up delivery at the local level. It will also reduce the performance management and reporting burdens placed by central government on local authorities and partners, giving them increased flexibility and freedom to address local needs and to develop and share innovations in the way they deliver outcomes. The set also contains a strong element of citizen perspective indicators, gathered through a new Place Survey.
The new set of 198 national indicators was announced in October 2007 and, following consultation, detailed definitions for 138 indicators were published on 29 February 2008. The final Handbook containing definitions for all indicators to be introduced from April 2008 was published in March 2008.A reporting mechanism has been established to ensure that data only need to be collected once. This reporting mechanism is the Data Interchange hub – ‘The Hub’.
The Hub has been introduced with two main aims: to reduce the burden on collecting data for local authorities, and to ensure that local authorities have all the information that they need to gauge their own performance against the National Indicators.
The completely new structure will aid analysis and policy making, facilitate benchmarking and reduce unnecessary repetitive data inputting. The Hub will gather published information from across government to provide a one-stop location for all stakeholders.
