A Price delivered a presentation relative to the self assessment which was undertaken by the Safer & Stronger Renfrewshire Thematic Board.
The assessment was designed to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses and identify actions to strengthen partnerships.
The scorecard was made up of 6 score sheets covering:
- the Focus and impact of the partnership
- Partnership working
- Strategic coherence
- Planning and Delivery
- Review, reflect, refine
- Capturing performance
The scorecards were scored by Members of the Board and the report, which was tabled, set out the main findings and recommendations for action. It was presented in eight sections: one section for each score sheet together with a section on the overall pattern of average scores and a final section on recommendations.
The Assessment indicated that overall the Safer & Stronger Renfrewshire Thematic Board appeared to have a very positive outcome with Focus and Impact and Strategic Coherence both scoring over 4/5. Those that fell below four were Partnership Working and Review, Reflect and Refine.
The assessment identified that many of the process and practices within the Board were working well with only a few areas that scored below the very high benchmark set across most of the categories of the assessment.
The areas where the scores were lower than the benchmark were:
- Partnership Working – Induction
- Capturing Performance – Sharing and Analysing Data Across Services
- Personal Roles – Recognition
DECIDED
(a) That the Board studies the areas for improvement and develop a strategy to address the issues; and
(b) That the presentation be noted.
