Report by Head of Improvement and HR

A robust approach to self assessment is now a prerequisite for Councils to address service and organisational improvement and will be required to meet the criteria of a Best Value 2 (BV2) audit.  In order to continue to increase the pace of change in the Council’s improvement journey, a report presenting a recommended route for the Council to take forward the Public Sector Improvement Framework (PSIF) as the preferred method of self assessment was considered.

Decision

1.             Noted that the Strategic Management Team has agreed to sign up to PSIF as the Council’s preferred self assessment tool; and

2.             Agreed to member involvement in the Corporate Assessment process through the Senior Members and Officers Group.
