The Children's Services Executive Group will be responsible for the management and monitoring of outcomes contained within the Angus Community Planning Partnership's Single Outcome Agreement for 2009/12, specifically National Outcomes 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11.
The partnership will ensure that appropriate indicators and targets are agreed to support the delivery of the outcomes. Progress reports will be produced every six months and presented to the Angus Community Planning Partnership (ACPP) in January and June of each year.
The partnership will develop a delivery plan against each of the outcomes with specific actions identified for each of the partner agencies. A highlight report on progress against these actions will be produced every six months and presented to the ACPP in January and June of each year.
The partnership will ensure that indicators, targets and actions "below the waterline" demonstrate clear accountability to individual agencies and/or departments. Officers of the partnership will ensure appropriate links are made to relevant strategies and/or plans. Linkages to the national outcomes will be clearly defined.
An analysis of the data should be undertaken at least once per year and inter-dependencies between outcomes of the other thematic groups will be considered in reports to the ACPP Implementation Group on a regular basis.
