REFRAME Project

The Council’s Design and Assurance Review included an audit of the organisations capacity and approach to transformational change and reform, policy, performance management and monitoring and systems.
As a result, a new Design and Assurance function was implemented in Oct 2019. This included a two-year temporary arrangement for performance and systems support for Children, Education and Adult services.
The REFRAME project was established in May 2021 to further review those temporary arrangements.
The report outlines the proposals to implement a new model for performance and systems functions for Children, Education and Adult Services. These have been developed to replace the temporary arrangements and complement the Council’s corporate and directorate
performance functions.
