NI045 Young offenders engagement in suitable education, employment or training | Succeed Economically | Children, Young People & Families | Children, Young People & Families | Young offenders in employment, training or education | Bigger is Better | 0.831 | 0.8372 | 0.824 | ü | ì | Despite the tough economic climate, performance at 83.72%, exceeded the very challenging target of 82.4%.  The ongoing challenge is to support young offenders into long term credible ETE outcomes that will provide them with an ETE route out of offending.  Whilst the Statutory school age performance continues to remain good, further work is required to support those who are struggling with mainstream school, especially for those High Risk offenders, those with Behavioural, Emotional and Social Difficulties or Special Educational Needs, and also a number of Year 8 & 9 pupils who are out of school / refusing to attend where innovative educational alternatives are needed, but who are deemed too young for Alternative Provision. The contract targets for the ETE mentoring support (Oct 11 – Mar 12) commissioned from SOVA (Supporting Others through [NAME]) were over-exceeded in all but one area. (SOVA were 2 short of achieving the sourcing work experience placement target.) This ETE mentoring support is now being continued until 30th November 2012.  The Youth Offending Service is continuing to successfully secure Apprenticeship opportunities dedicated for Post 16 Young Offenders &  this is already having positive outcomes for those who gain employment. These opportunities, for paid  employment, act as an excellent catalyst to motivate young offenders to move away from offending.   ETE staffing from Local Authority Partners has been crucial in enabling this level of success and both the  Education Welfare Service and Connexions have committed to continuing staff support in the Youth  Offending Teams for 2012-13.  Groups least likely to be in full time ETE include: o Young people of white ethnicity, particularly young white females o Young people with a history of being looked after o Young people with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties
[NAME] of 5 or more A*-C grades at GCSE or equivalent including English and Maths | Succeed Economically | Children, Young People & Families | Children, Young People & Families | Achievement of 5 or more A*-C grades at GCSEs or equivalent including English and Maths | Bigger is Better | 0.549 | 0.582 | 0.551 | ü | ì | The final outcome for this measure was 58.2%, exceeding the target of 55.1%.   This was a strong performance relative to other core cities/statistical neighbours e.g.. Manchester 52%, Leeds 54%, Bristol 50%, Coventry 55%, Sheffield 49%.  The drive to improvement continues in partnership with the Secondary School Improvement group which has been taking the lead in supporting those schools which are at risk of underperformance, and raising the aspirations of all schools still further.
[NAME] number of schools where under 60% of pupils achieve level 4 in KS2 English and Maths | Succeed Economically | Children, Young People & Families | Children, Young People & Families | Reduce the number of schools where less than 60% of pupils achieve Level 4 or above in both English and Maths at KS2 | Smaller is Better | 25 | 59 | 52 | x | Results not directly comparable due to industrial action in 2010/11 resulting in 152 schools not administering the tests. | 59 schools achieved less than 60% [NAME] and above in English & Maths combined against a target of 52 schools.   Many schools' writing outcomes were lower than expected.  [NAME] cite the inaccessible nature of the writing task as the reason.   More schools than normal returned their writing papers to be remarked, but this did not result in markedly higher outcomes. The new Schools & Settings Improvement team has analysed the data and identified those schools which are at risk of not reaching the target in 2012.   All these schools have been offered a support package which includes advice from a high performing school, as part of the School to School improvement strategy.  These packages have included a data analysis to identify areas of underperformance, and advice on interventions to raise standards.   School improvement advisers have monitored progress.   Where applicable, training has been offered to groups of schools.
NI117 16 to 18 year olds who are not in education, employment or training (NEET) | Succeed Economically | Children, Young People & Families | Children, Young People & Families | Percentage of 16-18 year olds not in education, employment or training | Smaller is Better | 0.074 | 0.0666 | 0.07 | ü | ì | The final figure of 6.66% is based on a 3 month average for Nov 2011- Jan 2012 and has now been ratified by the Department for Education.

There is a two year reporting lag associated with this measure so the results published in September 2011 relate to 2009. These showed that carbon emissions had reduced to 5.6 tonnes, ahead of our profiled target for 2009 of 6.0 tonnes. The reason for this reduction is due substantially to external factors outside of the control of the City Council for example the effects of the recession. Compared to 2008, industry and commerce declined by 0.5 tonnes and transport by 0.1 tonnes. Domestic also declined by 0.2 tonnes where greater energy awareness, costs of fuel, and energy efficiency measures had an effect.

Analysis of waste streams indicates that this is due to reductions in green waste, paper and multi-materials being put out in Birmingham in the summer months (a similar trend to that experienced by other Core Cities), the economic climate and 'light-weighting' by manufactures. In response, pilot initiatives e.g. paper recycling campaigns and the 'Nectar' incentivisation scheme have been introduced to help improve this performance.

During 2011/12, the individual four quarter figures were: 92.3%, 81.8%, 92.% and 92.9%, with an average score throughout the year of 89.8%.  The result during quarter 2 is unusually low and is likely to be partically atrributed to the riots in the summer, bringing down the annual figure signifiantly.  Quarter four's performance of 92.9% is within the confidence level for quaterly data of +/- 3.58%.  However, the year average (equivalent to the 12 month rolling average) is outside of the confidence level for twelve months data of +/- 1.79%.  All are however within the 5% tolerance set by Corporate Monitoring.    The Birmingham Community Safety Partnership (BCSP) has identified this area of work as a Strategic Priority for 2012/13 and a delivery plan has been prepared to support interventions and funding identified to support the proposed work.  The work is being coordinated by steering group reporting through the BCSP Executive Board.

NI181 Time taken to process Housing Benefit/Council Tax Benefit new claims and change events | Public Service Excellence | Corporate Resources | Finance | Right Time Measure new claims and change of circumstances | Smaller is Better | 11.6 | 10.71 | 15 | ü | ì | The Benefit Service has exceeded the 15 day projected target for the year 11/12, with an outturn figure of 10.71. Contributing to this achievement was careful work planning at the start of the year to: highlight peak growths in work; the time periods these would occur; and, resource allocation arrangements to deal with this. This year has seen increased automation with the introduction of Automatic Transfer to Local Authority Systems - (ATLAS - initially the implementation of automation in the process of dealing with Tax Credit notifications followed more recently by the automated daily process of the majority of Department of Work and Pensions benefits) - together with increased utilisation of e-benefits which has improved turnaround time, leading to increased customer satisfaction.  Both of these initiatives have been  managed effectively and have resulted in the target being exceeded.
CP08 AE 6.1a The percentage of rent collected from council tenants as a proportion of rent due | Public Service Excellence | Homes & Neighbourhoods | Housing | The percentage of rent collected from council tenants as a proportion of rent due. | Bigger is Better | 0.9922 | 0.9866 | 1.0035 | x | ì | The impact of the welfare reform in particular, the non-dependant deductions in Quarter 1, has meant an end of year result 1.69% off target.  However, this is in the context of collecting more rent, since the service was centralized and achieving the most success payment holiday, since the initiative was introduced.  This saw in excess of £2.3m collected during the 4 payments holidays and meant that period collection increased to 105% and continued the trend of improved collection over quarters 2, 3 and 4.  The period performance for March was extremely challenging as the number of HB claims in payment as at the start of March reduced by 3.1% from 47083 to 45621 at year end.  This was due to reviews of benefit claims being undertaken known as 'short reviews'.  The Service received a high number of calls due to this issue and are working with customers and the Benefit Service to get their claims back into payment.  However this will negatively impact on period 1 performance in 2012/13
