Issue - meetings

This report has been published in a separate colour supplement.

The Deputy Chief Executive presented the performance report which focussed on the strategic purpose ‘help me live my life independently’. A number of measures had been included in the report for Members’ consideration, both those relating to the strategic purpose and some corporate measures. 

Members were advised that the Council was doing a lot of work with partner organisations to tackle low to medium mental health problems within the community.  Reference was also made to sickness absence levels at the Council which in some cases were considered to be concerning.  A new sickness absence policy was in the process of being developed to address some of these issues.

During consideration of this item the need for training to be provided to Members in respect of the dashboard was discussed.  This had been requested at a meeting of the Executive Committee in the previous municipal year.  In response to that a session focusing on the dashboard had been built into the new Member induction programme, a copy of which had been sent to every Member, and that training had been delivered in June.  However, the Member Support Steering Group would be asked at their next meeting to consider holding another training session.

RESOLVED that

the report be noted.
