About Performance Networks
Performance networks; 10 years of benchmarking
Performance networks is a mature benchmarking service which allows for effective performance measurement across a range
of vitally important front-line public services with 10 years of performance data available.
The largest voluntary local government benchmarking service in the UK
With over 200 local authorities from across the U.K. in membership and participation growing across all services, performance
networks is the largest voluntary performance measurement service for local government providing benchmarking across 15
front-line services.
Developed by practitioners
The APSE performance networks model is unique in that it was developed and is continually reviewed by a working group of
practitioners. This, combined with working partnerships with other leading bodies such as ENCAMS ensures that the model
continues to be the most relevant, user friendly and responsive of its kind.
The series of performance indicators are a combination of compulsory/recommended measures suggested by the four main
national audit bodies and local performance measures agreed by practitioners. These include cost, productivity, customer
satisfaction, quality and human resource management giving a comprehensive view of performance.
Recognised and robust source of performance information
Described as an important asset by Inlogov and referenced in numerous audit and inspection reports performance networks is
a widely recognised source of performance information within local government and met all criteria in an assessment of
consistency, reliability and comparability of data required by the Audit Commission.
