How our performance is measured

Latest: BVPI’s have been replaced by a new set of measures known as the National Indicator Set (NIS). This was announced in October 2007, after the Comprehensive Spending Review that year. The NIS will be the only set of indicators by which central government will manage the performance of local government. It replaces all other sets of indicators, including Performance Assessment Framework (PAF) indicators, from 1st April 2008. For more information see the Department for Communities and Local Government website: CLG – Local Government Performance
