  3. Clear links between plans, outcomes and performance management. Themes of SCP, Corporate Plans, Policies and Strategies. Interpreting national outcomes into local priorities.

  5. The Single Outcome Agreement (SOA) is an agreement between the Scottish Government and the Falkirk CPP It sets out what the Council and its Community Planning partners will deliver on in terms of local priorities and our contribution to national outcomes It’s about the partnership’s collective commitment to ensuring that we provide the best quality services at an affordable cost The SOA forms part of the arrangements within the Local Government Concordat which also underpins funding between 2008 – 2011, reduces funding bureaucracy and embodies new performance reporting arrangements, streamlined scrutiny & retention of efficiency savings Background

  6. Our 1st SOA was with CPP, some areas only Councils Involved all Council Services & Key CP partners Our Strategic Community Plan (supported by Council Corporate Plan) sets out our 20-year vision and local priorities Pro-active development of a CPP performance management framework which acted as a foundation for the SOA Outcomes PIs Local Outcomes haven’t changed much as a result of the SOA Evolution & refreshment Hasn’t resulted in a complete alignment between the CPP & national priorities Our Journey

  7. Is a means of: Reporting progress Better national understanding of local context Asks – Scottish Govt support in achieving priorities Isn’t a means of: Reporting to the Govt Delivering on everything A replacement for what we do SOA Practicalities

  8. A lot of different guidance from different Government departments e.g. not including all of our HEAT targets Local decisions based on relevance The SOA should not be a means of including everything but should focus on key local priorities & outcomes “If our initiative isn’t mentioned our funding will be cut” Relevance of front-line work to the SOA Continuing relevance of traditional national initiatives. Latest policy direction is integrated & demonstrates new thinking Lobbying & commentary by external agencies on how well our SOA reflected a particular initiative Our Challenges

  10. Have SOA’s made a difference or would we have done it anyway? Short-term or cumulative effect Comparison across Scotland? The SOA is designed to reflect local diversity Disconnect between local SOA measurement & the national performance framework Measuring the Difference?

  11. Mitigating the impacts of the recession Economic downturn action plan Retaining our aspiration & motivation Prioritisation Impact of decisions on other partners Equity of savings vs. protected areas of spend (NHS, Education) Recession

  12. The legacy of our past and the potential of our future are protected Our area is at the centre of Scottish life Our future is as one of the most culturally diverse and distinct areas in Scotland Our future has investment in jobs, learning, homes and leisure for all Our area is the place to be in the third Millennium Vision for 2005 to 2010
