Performance indicators

We use a variety of performance indicators to monitor how well our services are performing in meeting the needs of service users and to measure their efficiency and value for money.

Throughout the year our various Committees focus on a set of key indicators of performance (KPIs). These include a variety of indicators that relate to the delivery of our priorities.

These KPIs measure performance across a wide range of activity including: adult social care, children’s social care, education, housing, leisure services, libraries, climate change activity, and street cleansing. There are also a number of indicators which relate to activity carried out by our partners, particularly the health service and the police.

Challenging targets are also set for each indicator. We have a policy of striving to ensure that the services we provide perform amongst the best in London, and our targets are set accordingly.
