Benchmarking
Benchmarking allows us to compare our performance so that we can identify best practice, learn from each other, and improve what we do.
Local Government Benchmarking framework
All 32 councils are measuring a common set of PIs called the Local Government Benchmarking Framework. This national framework brings together performance indicators from each local authority and provides benchmarking data on a wide range of key services such as education, housing and adult social care.
Scottish Household survey
The aim of the survey is to provide representative information about the composition, characteristics and behaviours of Scottish households, both nationally and at a more local level. The survey covers a wide range of topics to allow links to be made between different policy areas, with a particular focus on information to aid policy decisions on transport and social inclusion.
Other benchmarking
Services also use a range of benchmarking information and data from other sources such as APSE, CiPFA etc. Further information will be included on this page.
