Action 6 – Performance Report Q4 2024-25 (FSA BC 25/06/04) |
Nathan Barnhouse to consider what analysis can be added to slide on LA FTE resource. |
Once the resource tool is in use this will enable the FSA to re-evaluate the ratio of officer to establishment, and set more accurate milestones, which will be based upon a consistently derived figure for resource needed and resource in post, which can be compared with establishment level performance data supplied by LAs once the LA data project is fully operational. This will allow us to evidence how under resourcing impacts on service delivery. We will then be able to present information at national level, and also allow us to indicate the percentage of individual LAs who are attempting to operate at sub optimal level of staff with a high degree of certainty. |

June 2025 |
Nathan Barnhouse – CLOSED. We are working with Local Authorities on the validation and, due to availability with the LAs, this phase started in May and is expected to be complete by the end of the summer. If the validation proves positive, we will roll out the tool for food hygiene and consider how we can build a tool for feed/food standards/combined service, which would be sequenced alongside other work we are doing. If the validation is not positive, then we will take stock of the situation. |
