The Local Outcome Indicators Project has been reviewing the indicators used in Single Outcome Agreements (SOA) to focus on the most robust and relevant to local outcomes.
A revised Menu of Local Outcome Indicators (Version 4) was published in November 2009. The new Menu includes:
- a significantly revised list of outcome indicators
- detailed metadata for each indicator
- improved presentation
- accompanying Good Practice Note
Download the Menu of Local Outcome Indicators, accompanying Good Practice Note and the covering letter sent to council Chief Executives.
All the updated outcome indicators can be accessed via the Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics local outcome indicators downloading tool. This ensures consistency and that the most up-to-date data is always used.
The new Menu is the result of extensive consultation, overseen by a Project Board. The Project Board includes senior representation from all statutory Community Planning Partners (councils, NHS, fire, regional transport partnerships and enterprise agencies), Scottish Government, Audit Scotland, COSLA and the Improvement Service.
The next phase of the SOLACE-led Local Outcome Indicators Project will prioritise other outcome areas identified as insufficiently covered. Further updates of the Menu will be produced as improved outcomes data is identified and becomes available.
