Duty to Improve
Legislation:
- Under the Local Government Act (Northern Ireland) 2014, councils have a duty to make arrangements to secure continuous improvement in the exercise of their functions.
Improvement means an activity that enhances the sustainable quality of life and environment for ratepayers and communities.
- Councils must set Improvement Objectives and have appropriate arrangements in place to achieve them.
The objectives should be framed to bring about improvement in at least one of the following areas - strategic effectiveness, service quality, service availability, fairness, sustainability, efficiency and innovation.
- A Performance Improvement Plan, setting out these objectives, must be published each year.
To view our plan for this year, please visit our Performance Improvement Plan 2025/26 pages.
Arrangements to Secure Continuous Improvement:
- Our arrangements to secure continuous improvement are set out in our Performance Management Framework.
This framework drives performance by linking our corporate strategies, aims and objectives to each employee’s work plan.
Our arrangements are audited by the Northern Ireland Audit Office every year.
