The Commission considered the Corporate Performance Overview Report detailing Council performance during the third quarter of the 2013/14 financial year (October to December 2013). Arising from Member’s questions and comments the following points were noted:

• Bracknell Forest Voluntary Action had completed their reorganisation and it was considered that the level of risk attributed to a potential failure of the voluntary sector umbrella was now reduced
• The Local Government Association Equality Framework Peer Review was a four yearly review that examined and measured how well the Council met the standards contained within the Equalities Framework.  It was an important review process that informed key inspections in other areas of the Council’s work.  Once the review had been completed an action plan would be developed to address any concerns identified.  It was agreed that the Review Report would be circulated when it was available
• The figures for Indicator L035: Income from Leisure Facilities were cumulative figures
• The issues raised by Children, Young People and Learning staff in their exit interviews would be followed up , and more information would be provided to members on the level of staff turnover
