WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL
Report by Chief Officer – Education
Committee: Educational Services Committee 28 September 2022
Subject: Education Delivery Plan 2021/22 Year-end Progress
1 Purpose
1.1 This report provides members with the year-end progress of the 2021/22
Delivery Plan agreed at Committee on 9 June 2021.
2 Recommendations
2.1 It is recommended that Committee notes the progress made on the delivery of
the 2021/22 plan. 
3 Background
3.1 In line with the Strategic Planning & Performance Framework, each Chief
Officer develops an annual Delivery Plan which sets out actions to help deliver
the Strategic Plan and address the performance challenges and service
priorities identified in the planning process. The Plan also provides an
overview of services and resources, including employees and budgets, sets
out the performance indicators (PIs) for monitoring progress and considers the
relevant risks. 
3.2 Progress on the Education Delivery Plan is reported to Educational Services
Committee twice yearly, at mid-year and year-end and relates to the academic
year.
4 Main Issues
4.1 The 2021/22 Delivery Plan was presented to Educational Services Committee
on 9 June 2021 and mid-year progress reported on 16 March 2022.
4.2 Year-end progress is set out in detail at Appendix 1.
4.3 Of the 7 actions set out in the plan, 6 remain in progress as their end dates fall
out with the reporting period, with 1 action overdue. ‘Promote digital service
delivery’ has been impacted by a further delay to the launch of both SEEMiS
products ‘Early Years’ and ‘Schools’, which will now not be delivered until
August 2023 at the earliest.

to the December 2022 committee.

report.

remedial action is taken to ensure strategic delivery plans achieve the
commitments detailed and approved. 
8 Equalities Impact Assessment 
8.1  Screening and impact assessments will be carried out on specific activities as
required. 
9 Consultation
