IntroductionThis document summarises Corby Borough Council's achievements through 2008/09 and details our performance against targets and standards set within eachof the Council's service areas.
The Plan is written to ensure that our residents, elected members and staff are fully informed about what has been achieved and the challenges for the future inachieving our ambitious One Corby agenda. As well as describing our progress against our strategic objectives and improvement plans, it outlines what we aredoing to build a bigger, better, brighter Corby.
The performance plan covers:
• How the Council operates;
• Current inspection ratings;
• How we are performing compared to other authorities.
The Annual Performance Plan is an important document for achieving and monitoring continuous improvement in services. It indicates how we are takingperformance and value for money seriously and details our arrangements for addressing the improvements required.
The Annual Performance Plan should be read in conjunction with our Corporate Plan "One Corby" which sets out our priorities for the future under six keyheadings; Regeneration and Growth, Climate Change and Environment, Economic Development, Jobs and Skills, Safer, Stronger Communities, Health and Well-Being and Customer First. These are not just priorities on paper; we will put money, staff and energy into them to make sure things happen.

Corby Borough Council has made sustained progress sinceits corporate assessment in 2004 when it was judged to be
‘weak’. It is now rated as ‘good’.
Performance management approachAlong with reporting and monitoring performance on a regular basis there is also a need to have in place an effective performance management culture to ensurethat we constantly strive for continuous improvement.
Roles and responsibilities of each Officer and Elected Member within the Council in relation to Performance Management are shown in the table below:

Planning and Target Setting
Our reporting format enables both ElectedMembers and the Core Management Team tomonitor and review national performanceindicators, local performance indicators andprogress against key corporate priorities. This is akey exercise to help measure the rate of progressin achieving our corporate priorities and targets.
The Overview and Scrutiny Panel plays an activerole in monitoring performance to ensurecontinuous improvement is being achieved. Thereport is a standing item on the agenda andHeads of Service attend on a cyclical basis to givea presentation on performance of their serviceareas. This provides Elected Members with theopportunity to drill down, in more detail, on keyissues of interest to them.
All service areas hold monthly PerformanceClinics, chaired by the Head of Service andattended by departmental management teamsand staff with responsibility for performance. The
clinics allow service areas to monitor direction oftravel and discuss corrective action to be taken incases of adverse performance.
Why we have performance indicators?
Each year the Council is required to collect anumber of national performance indicators tomeasure how services are being delivered to thelocal community. Therefore, to be able to monitorservice provision and respond appropriately toactual performance, each service area reports ona set of performance indicators.
Performance indicators provide key informationon:
• The levels of service being provided;
• How well the Council is performing against itsaims and priorities;
• Whether expectations and set standards arebeing achieved;
• The effect on service delivery of any changeswe make;
• The cost of services, to enable us to improvevalue for money and maximise oureffectiveness and efficiency
Performance indicators provide a form ofaccountability to the local community to show howwell services are performing and are always oneof the main factors by which the AuditCommission judges the performance of theCouncil.
In addition to national performance indicators, theCouncil also collects a number of indicators on alocal basis, which are developed internally andare used to monitor performance in areas whichare key to our local priorities.
11
Managing performance effectively is key to improvingservice provision for the residents and businesses of Corby.
Data qualityThe purpose of Data Quality is to encourage the improvement of data used for decision making. The Council should have information that is fit for purpose withwhich to manage services and account for performance. As increasing reliance is placed on performance information in performance management andassessment regimes, the need to demonstrate that the underlying data is reliable has become more critical.
There are six key characteristics of good quality data:
• Accuracy Data should be sufficiently accurate for their intended purposes, representing clearly and in enough detail the interaction provided at the pointof activity.
• Validity Data should be recorded and used in compliance with relevant requirements, including the correct application of any rules or definitions.
• Reliability Data should reflect stable and consistent data collection processes across collection points and over time, whether using manual or computerbased systems, or a combination.
• Timeliness Data should be captured as quickly as possible after the event or activity and must be available for the intended use within a reasonable timeperiod.
• Relevance Data captured should be relevant to the purposes for which they are used.
• Completeness Data requirements should be clearly specified based on the information needs of the body and data collection processes matched to theserequirements.
To ensure data quality is maintained throughout the outturn process, the year-end outturn paperwork has been created electronically, highlighting areas whichneed completion, defaulting data to the correct number of decimal places and removing the requirement to calculate the variances manually, although currentguidance states all automatic calculations should be double checked for accuracy.

The Council has built upon areas of good practice and takenpositive action to address issues identified in the previous
corporate assessment.
