Performance Management and Review Arrangements. The Herefordshire Children and Young People’s Partnership is committed to the principle of evaluating the performance of the Partners against the outcomes proposed with respect to the six strategic planning priorities. For each priority need a suite of performance measures will be agreed for use across the Partnership. In part, these will be pre-existing measures that are captured and required for statutory returns or for reporting on agency performance to regulators (e.g. DfE annual data return requirements, the Public Health Outcomes Framework). In other part, they will be measures specifically crafted to reflect the precise outcomes envisaged by this Plan. In the first instance the performance measures will be considered and evaluated by those with a legislative or operational responsibility for the relevant priority need area. These evaluations will be in the context of the CHIPP work programmes, pre- established performance management arrangements in areas of business as usual (e.g. HSCB performance data set) and established structures of Partner agencies outside of the Council. These evaluations should be brought together and an overall assessment made of the progress of the Plan to outcome for consideration by the Partnership Steering Group. The Steering Group may commission a quality audit into aspects of performance of the Plan where that delivery is out of line (positively or negatively).The Steering Group should provide an overall performance evaluation of the progress of the Plan for consideration at each meeting of the Partnership Executive, along with quality audit findings were these have wider and significant lessons for the Partnership.
