Annual Report 2024/25 - Monitoring Progress

Conclusion

Some indicators show an improvement from last year; however, they have worsened overall since 2018 — including foodbank usage, children in low-income and satisfaction with public services. There are a few showing positive trends, such as physical activity, participation rate and people who feel part of their community.

The Shetland Partnership will continue to monitor data and indicators over the next year. Updates to indicators will be added to the website, when new data becomes available. The Management and Leadership team will also continue to lead and inform on strategy for the Partnership. This includes supporting the Delivery Plan.
