The SLAED Indicators Framework is a ‘basket’ of measures developed by SLAED with input from the Improvement Service and the Scottish Government.
< id="u100851-5" style="padding: 0px 6px 0px 0px"> The Framework is used by all Scottish Local Authority Economic Development services to provide a consistent basis for:
- measuring the economic performance of Councils and highlighting the central role of economic outcomes in the SOA and the prevention agenda;
- benchmarking comparative performance and identifying areas for potential improvement, where appropriate;
- assisting and informing ongoing design and delivery of interventions, monitoring effectiveness and delivery towards the overall strategy; and
- providing SLAED with aggregate data on overall levels of Council economic development activities and outputs.
