Aberdeen Performs

Aberdeen City Council is required to report details of its performance across a range of indicators each year. Many of these indicators are specified by Audit Scotland, who annually monitor and compare the performance of all 32 of Scotland's local authorities and these can be viewed separately under Statutory Performance Indicators

Councils also report many other aspects of their performance in the provision of services and the carrying out of functions, which may not be covered by the Audit Scotland Direction.  In Aberdeen, this has usually taken the form of a brochure made available to members of the public through council offices, libraries and other public buildings. As with many other public bodies, we have now decided to publish a record of our performance on our website.

One advantage of this is that because the content of Aberdeen Performs will be regularly reviewed and updated, members of the public will be able to access details of the most recently available performance in those areas where we gather the information on a monthly basis, as well as data for the most recent complete year available.

The content below offers a picture of our performance against the indicators established in the Council's Interim Business Plan. This plan sets out the Council's goals across six priority themes: Wealthier and Fairer, Smarter, Healthier, Safer and Stronger, Greener and lastly, Better.  By clicking on an area which interests you, you can view details of our aims and objectives, achievements to date and the current or most recently available performance data.

The arrows which you see in Aberdeen Performs are intended to give an illustration of the general direction of travel in our progress toward achieving our goals.

Each of the Council's 5 Directorates has a Service Business Plan and these are reviewed annually. These can be accessed through the links at 'Our Services.' The websites of the major inspection bodies which oversee the management and provision of some of our most important services can also be accessed, by selecting the links at 'What other agencies say.'

We welcome feedback from across our communities and there is a form available within the web page for you to complete if you wish to do so.
