Departmental indicators

In addition to these indicators our departments also collect and review information on who is using their services.

• Our council housing resident profile and allocations of properties
• Attainment
• Hate crime and actions put in place to encourage reporting and tackle hate crime, and community reassurance.
  
• Domestic violence and the support in place for victims
• Health outcomes, a summary of the main themes of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) and the data used to produce the JSNA
• Our latest residents survey. The paper highlights if there are differences in perceptions by protected characteristic and notes that 86% of residents surveyed agree that their neighbourhood is a place where people from different backgrounds get on well together. 

Annual Quality Performance Reviews

Services also publish Annual Quality Performance Reviews (AQPR). You can search for APQRs by using the search function. Examples of AQPRs published in 2011/12 include:

• Independent Living Scheme
• Children Looked After
• Leisure and Sports Services

Equality Impact Assessments

We also publish Equality Impact Assessments (EIAs), which as part of their required analysis contain information on service user profiles by protected characteristic as such they area  good source of information on who uses our services.

All EIAs are published as part of Committee papers. This is to ensure their findings can be reviewed in context. Search for EIAs using the Committee Document search function.

To get a list of all EIAs completed type 'Equality Impact Assessment' in the first box. As may return a large number so you may want to add additional criteria such as Committee or date parameters.
