Executive Member Decision Day 17 December 2004

Item 1

Performance Report 2003/4

Notes:

CSCI gradings on individual performance indicators are:

1 blob

Investigate Urgently

2 blobs

Ask questions about performance

3 blobs

Acceptable, but possible room for improvement

4 blobs

Good

5 blobs

Very good

NB CSCI does not use the quartile ranges favoured by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for the

Corporate Performance Assessment. For many indicators, having mid-range performance is considered

good, whilst being an outlier is bad. A good example of this is unit costs where a high cost often

indicates poor purchasing skills, whilst a low cost indicates that the cost of services might have been

considered more important than the quality of those services.

The Spring Delivery & Improvement Statement "Slice & Dice" tool, provided by the Department of Health,

was used for comparison purposes. This may have been superceded by revised data for the 2003/4

results published in the annual PAF book. Hampshire's figures have been updated to those in the

Autumn Delivery & Improvement Statement.

The number before an indicator represents the line number for this indicator in the 2004/5 Delivery &

Improvement Statements; a letter followed by a number gives the formal PAF indicator number from the

Performance Assessment Framework (PAF). Only PAF indicators are formally graded by CSCI

Hampshire understated CLA population in 2001/2. Cleanup of data prior to SWIFT implementation

Hampshire CLA figures are below national and regional averages

This makes achievement of higher blobs on other CLA indicators more difficult as Hampshire

has fewer "simple" cases

Kent has high Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children; this distorts many CLA indicators

Shows good practice in Hampshire, but not subject to Formal CSCI grading

The definitions have changed for 2003/4 - but not much impact

Hampshire significantly worse than national averages. Two possible causes:

(1) The impact of F&F/Kinship Care where children are permanently fostered or have a

residence order with a close associate

(2) The recent delays in local courts in obtaining adoption orders

Hampshire's performance declined slightly during 2003/4

Slightly worse than national and regional averages, but performance

is believed to reflect the numbers of children "bouncing" across boundaries with the cities.

It might also reflect Hampshire's low level of children on the Child Protection Register for

over 2 years (1214/C21

It may also indicate that children in Hampshire are being removed from the register

earlier than in other authorities - leading to increased re-registrations.

missing the critieria, having their 5th GCSE at grade D. Intensive work is being done with

children forecast for D grades in the 2005/6 academic year.

Hampshire has higher warnings in this age group than average.

This is believed linked to recent "fast tracking" of offenders to court, reducing the

opportunities for Social Workers and the YOT to intervene. New procedures are now

in place which should reduce the numbers of cautions and convistions for 2004/5 onwards

Although Hampshire had poor performance, it is now just below the SE average

Historically performance was poor as we were not contacting care leavers appropriately

During 2003/4 this was achieved, but many were unemployed and/or not in training or

education. An action plan is underway and the 65% target for 2004/5 should be met

As with many other CLA indicators, good performance is harder to achieve due to

Historically this was a poor indicator when measured against under 18 population
