National Indicators and the Data Interchange Hub

esd-toolkit’s National Indicator Tree View describes the National Indicators that measure outcomes at a local level. It gives the parameters that go into the formula for each indicator and shows where data for each parameter should come. Where an indictor relates to specific Local Government Service List (LGSL) services, these are shown. Local authority users of esd-toolkit can log in to see information specific to their authority for each indictor.

You can define direct links to each indicator in the format: http://www.esd.org.uk/esdtoolkit/NI/nnn.aspx (eg  http://www.esd.org.uk/esdtoolkit/NI/123.aspx)to keep abreast of indicators of particular interest to you.

Profiling Web Accesses to Services

esd-toolkit has now profiled web access for more than 100 services in co-operation with Local Directgov and esd-suppliers members Experian. This page gives links to profiles for a range of service areas.  You may also wish to view the video webcast describing the web profiling.

The web profiling work provides a good example of working through esd-suppliers to better inform service delivery and provide more exposure to a member’s services.
