The Portfolio Holder for Culture and Digital presented the Q3 performance report, which showed continued progress in the development of a Performance Management Framework to reflect The Shropshire Plan outcomes: Healthy People, Healthy Economy, Healthy Environment and a Healthy Organisation.

Members noted the increase in the number of looked after children but congratulated the team in the increase in the number of foster carers. The importance of promoting fostering opportunities was expressed.

Concern was raised that certain KPIs had been omitted from the report and a request for an update on the Homelessness Strategy was requested. Members were advised that all data was available on the portal, however there had been delays in the strategy due to redeployment of resource. Members were reassured that work was ongoing.
