Performance Improvement Self-Assessment Report

Identifying our 2023-24 Improvement Objectives

Three-phase process

All our key strategies and plans are informed and developed by listening to our residents, businesses, partners, staff, and Elected Members. Our 2023-24 performance improvement objectives were developed through a three-phase process. In phase one we reviewed the evidence base, in phase two, we engaged internally and in phase three, we carried out public consultation. The rich and diverse analysis and feedback we received throughout the process was shaped into the Performance Improvement Plan 2023-24. The objectives agreed were aligned to the priorities of the draft Community Plan (the Belfast Agenda).
