Report CEF22048A

The report presented a regular update on the performance of services for children across a suite of performance measures.

As at the end of June 2022, the majority of key performance indicators were rated as ‘Green’. There was one ‘red’ marked performance indicator on the number of Education Health and Care Plans issued within the statutory 20-week timescale (excluding exception cases).  There were also three ‘amber’ marked performance indicators comprising Children Looked After cases which were received within required timescales, the number of in-house foster carers recruited, and average caseloads within Children’s Social Care which were 19 per social worker against the ‘caseload promise’ of 12-15 at the time the report was drafted.  Management action continued to be taken across all areas of concern including placing a clinician on the Needs Assessment Panel to allow Education, Health and Care Plans to be progressed where it could be confirmed that no further health assessment with external providers was necessary.

RESOLVED: That the June 2022 outturn of key performance indicators and associated management commentary be noted.
