What is the SLAED Indicators Framework?
The SLAED Indicators Framework is a series of performance measures relating to our members' work in supporting local economic development. The framework includes a range of measures primarily based on data returns submitted by Scotland’s 32 Local Authorities, with other measures including data from partner organisations and national data sources.
The purpose of the SLAED Indicators Framework is to assist Local Authorities to:
- evidence and publicise the contribution that they make to Scotland’s economy through their economic development activities
- provide a basis for collating consistent data which can be used to better understand impact
- identify potential areas for improvement.
How to access the data
The Indicators Framework is now available to explore through an online interactive dashboard.
A series of reports are also available to access in the Publications section of this website.
There are parallels between the SLAED Indicators Framework and Scotland’s National Performance Framework. Local Authorities play a valuable role in improving many of the framework measures and there are links across all of the national outcome areas. This paper sets out current links between SLAED Indicators and the National Performance Framework.
