REPORT ON THE COMMUNITY PLAN PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
Produced 1st October 2022
Introduction
The GCPP PMF was approved in March 2019 and consists of the following four inter-related elements:
The PMD currently consists of:
62 Performance Indicators including 8 Headline Indicators;
72 RAG Performance Assessments
Strengths
Easy to maintain and keep up to date as
- All data used is publicly available
- Two thirds of the data sources are updated at least once annually
- Three quarters of data sources have an identified date for the next data update
Each Headline/Long Term Outcome has a “defined improvement within a defined timescale” in accordance with Community Empowerment legislation
Weaknesses
Limited service data from GCPP Partners that can be directly linked to the performance indicators;
Small number of Childcare indicators;
Half of the data sources don’t currently provide data at a geographical level smaller than local authority; and
Limited equalities information as most data sources don’t provide information for most protected characteristic groups.
Performance: Changes Since the Baseline (2017)
Glasgow’s performance has improved
- for a majority (63%; n40) of the performance indicators
- by more than 20% for six performance indicators
- for six of the eight headline indicators, of which five are currently on track to achieve their 2027 performance target
Glasgow’s performance has worsened
- for a third (33%; n21) of the performance indicators
- by more than 20% for seven performance indicators
Performance Assessment: Changes Since the Baseline (2017)
More (n21) performance indicators have improved their RAG performance assessment status than worsened (n16);
78% of the indicators improved (29%; n21) or maintained (49%; n35) their RAG performance assessment status;
All 14 Transport indicators either maintained (n10) or improved (n4) their RAG performance assessment status; and
There have been more negative (n6) than positive (n5) changes in performance assessment status among Fairer More Equal Glasgow and Inclusive Growth performance indicators.
Current Performance/Performance Assessment (2021)
More (n28; 39%) performance indicators currently have a negative (Amber/Red or Red) RAG performance assessment status than a positive (Green or Green/Amber) RAG performance assessment status (n25; 35%). The current position is an improvement on the baseline position in 2017 which was 30 performance indicators with a negative assessment status and 18 with a positive status.
Four indicators have an overall Green Performance Assessment Status
- Proportion of Jobs below the Living Wage
- Proportion of Under 25s with No Qualifications
- Proportion agreeing with the statement “I would like to be more involved in the decisions the Council makes that affect my area”
- Daily Number of Cycle Trips to/from City Centre
Glasgow’s comparator performance is Green for 14 (19%) performance indicators. This is an increase of four indicators in the previous year and an increase of three indicators since 2017.
Glasgow’s performance is the best among its comparators for 5 indicators
- Proportion of Under 25s with No Qualifications (UK Core Cities)
- Proportion of Children Living in Poverty[1] (UK Core Cities)
- Proportion of Jobs below the Living Wage (UK Core Cities)
- Proportion Agreeing with statement that they would want Greater Involvement in decisions about Local Authority Services (Scottish Local Authorities)

Glasgow’s performance in 2021 was its best level ever for seven indicators
- Proportion of 16–19 Year-Olds Participating in Education, Training or Employment
- Proportion of School Leavers in Positive Destinations: three & nine month Follow Ups
- Median Weekly (Gross) Earnings for Full Time Workers
- Proportion Agreeing with statement “I would like to be more involved in the decisions the Council makes that affect my area”
- Proportion of Households with Internet Access
- Proportion of Eligible 2-year-olds Registered for funded Early Learning & Childcare
- Daily Number of Cycle Trips to/from City Centre
Nine (64%) of the 14 Transport performance indicators currently have a positive (Green or Green Amber) RAG status
Six indicators have a Red Performance Assessment Status
- Proportion of Job Seekers Allowance Claimants who are long term (>12 months) claimants
- Proportion of Working Age Population receiving “Out of Work” Benefits
- Number of Parents/Carers in Employment/ Training/ Education who Access More than the Standard 16 hours Per Week/600 hours Per Year Entitlement in GCC Nurseries
- Number of Parents/Carers Accessing More than the Standard 16 hours Per Week/600 hours Per Year Entitlement in GCC Nurseries Who Meet the Low Income/Reduced Rate Criteria
- Proportion of FTE Teachers among Qualified Staff in funded Early Learning/Childcare Centres
- Proportion Reporting that the CPP process in Glasgow Facilitates Lasting Change around how Services are Designed and Delivered
Glasgow’s comparator performance is Red for 26 (36%) performance indicators. This is a decrease of two indicators in the previous year and a decrease of one indicator since 2017.
Glasgow’s performance is the worst among its comparators for three indicators
- Proportion of “Workless” Households (UK Core Cities)
- Proportion of working age population who are Economic Inactive, excluding students (UK Core Cities)
- Female/Male Life Expectancy (Scottish Local Authorities)
In 2020, there were nine indicators for which Glasgow’s performance was the worst among its comparators.
Six (75%) of eight Childcare performance indicators currently have a negative (Amber/Red or Red) RAG status.
[1] Glasgow has the highest proportion of children living in poverty and living in relative low income families among Scottish Local Authorities.
2022/23
The PMF’s Focus for 2022/23 will be to refresh the PMF to support the new GCPP 2022-25 Community Action Plan through
- Identifying performance indicators that reflect the new priorities and actions within the Community Action Plan and associated strategies (e.g., Community Learning and Development)
- Enhancing the performance indicators and information through
- Increasing the scale and quality of Equalities and Localities performance information
- Increasing the scale and quality of service data to underpin the performance information
- Providing a 2021/22 baseline for the new performance indicators
Longer term, the emphasis will be towards the collection and analysis of more qualitative data through
- additional in-depth analysis of the performance data for action plan priorities
- implementing a GCPP Evaluation Programme
- undertaking the next GCPP Partnership Health Check survey
The outcomes of this focus should be:
- a better understanding of the quantitative data findings
- a greater community input and perspective within the data and
- an understanding of the role and impact of the GCPP
