The Authority uses performance information from a combination of Best Value Performance Indicators and local ones, to inform its decision making processes. The documents in the categories below provide details of performance against the nationally reported ‘Best Value Performance Indicators’. There are a number of factors outside the control of the Fire and Rescue Service that can affect trends in fires and other emergency incidents and subsequently affect performance indicators. Consequently performance information will always be tempered by professional judgement when used in the decision making process.
Best Value Performance Indicator information
The information provided relates to:
- Performance information for the previous 2 years;
- The current years performance
- The projected end of year performance based on the current years figure
- The target performance for the year
- Variance between the projected current year’s actual and target performance. The variance is colour coded using the traffic light system.
- Where a target has been achieved by more than 2.5% the variance is highlighted in green.
- Where it has been missed by more than 2.5%, it is highlighted in red.
- Where it is within +/- 2.5% of the target it is highlighted in yellow.
