SP-Bench: Now with Outcomes Data

[Luke Canvin]

I am pleased to announce the launch of version 2 of SP-Bench, our web benchmarking service for SP teams throughout the UK. The main enhancement is that version 2 allows you to benchmark the Outcomes data of your services. Compare your services to like ones from across the UK, find where they are not achieving the outcomes they should, and discover the reasons why.

To begin, simply upload your unaltered long or short term outcomes Excel file on the Upload page of SP-Bench. Find out more about Outcomes in SP-Bench at www.spbench.co.uk and watch our new training video to see how easy it is to get started.

For LAs already using SP-Bench, you don’t need to do anything different. Just start to use the new outcomes functionality once you’ve uploaded your outcomes data. If your LA has not used SP-Bench before then get in touch with me ([e-mail]) and I'll take you through it.

Already 38 Authorities have supplied their extract data, giving a pool of over 7,500 services to benchmark against, and we will be adding more over the coming months. As more authorities join the benchmarking club, so the power and usefulness of the tool will increase.

If you have any questions or comments then don't hesitate let us know.
