Southwark's Best Value Performance Plan 2003/04
After 2003/2004, the Best Value Performance Plan was replaced with the Corporate Plan.
This is Southwark's fourth performance plan and sets out how we are delivering best value and working to improve our services. The plan shows how we have performed over the past three years, sets out our future plans and details the priorities of the Council.
It also reports on our Best Value Review Programme, and external reviews of our services via inspections, external audits and the Comprehensive Performance Assessment.
In response, we set out how we are delivering on the recommendations of external audit and inspection. The plan also details how we are performing against the range of national Best Value Performance Indicators.
The government requires each local authority to collect and publish a range of performance indicators reflecting the services the authority provides.
The indicators are verified by an external auditor from the District Audit service. The performance indicators are set by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM).
Each year every local authority has to return to the Audit Commission details of all the performance indicators (PIs) they are responsible for collecting. The Audit Commission analyses this data by taking the performance of all authorities and ranking performance from best to worst.
The resultant "league table" is then divided into quartiles e.g if 200 authorities report a particular PI, the best performing 50 authorities are classed as being the "top quartile" and worst performing 50 authorities classed as the "bottom quartile". The Commission also gives details of the median figure for each PI (the median being the value of the item in the middle of a range of figures).
