Fife Council measures whether we are meeting our priorities by using performance indicators. Like all other Local Authorities, we report on a range of local and national indicators, and these cover all of the core services of the council.
We are subject to regular audit and inspection by a wide range of external scrutiny agencies. These agencies act on behalf of the Scottish Government. We also compare our performance with all other Scottish Local Authorities to see how well we are doing. The Local Government Benchmarking Framework (LGBF) contains this performance information and can be used to compare Fife’s performance against that of other councils and on how we compare to the Scottish average.
In addition, The Local Government in Scotland Act 2003 places a duty on all Councils to secure Best Value, which is defined as the delivery of continuous improvement in the performance of all the Council’s functions and activities. More detail can be found in the links below.
We publish our performance in a range of ways:
