National performance indicators are produced annually
based on returns submitted to the Department of Health and other government
departments. Below are 15 performance indicators for children's services.
Performance assessment framework indicators are listed at: www.doh.gov.uk/scg/pssperform/module4.htm.
A more comprehensive data set is available through the Key Indicators
