Public Performance Reporting

Introduction

All local councils throughout Scotland must publish information about their services and their performance. We have developed arrangements that seek to deliver this with three levels of detail and information, reflecting the outcome of a consultation exercise with the people of South Ayrshire over how best to present this information.

A top level overview is presented through the South Ayrshire calendar. It provides an initial picture of what a number of the Council’s services are seeking to achieve and how they are performing. It points to where further information can be obtained, when and if you require this. Each year we feature 12 of our services, which allows us to cover the majority of our services over a two year period.

The next level of detail is provided by our performance newsletter named 'Update'. This provides further information on many of the services and developments highlighted in the calendar and gives more detailed and up to date picture of how these services are performing.

Both of these publications are widely available to the public throughout South Ayrshire through our network of offices, libraries and leisure facilities, can be posted out to individuals on request, and can be viewed on the Council’s website.

The third level of supporting detail comprises of the range of reports, leaflets and other specific pieces of information about the Council's performance, published by individual services and in conjunction with our partners.

Much of this supporting information can be found on the service specific pages of this website. Examples shown on this page include the Council's performance against the Statutory Performance Indicators and recent external audit reports.
