A big thank you to all the Services who have submitted data to this year's  Outcomes Benchmarking exercise.

Several Services have been in touch asking if they can make their submissions after the end of March deadline following the Easter break – we have therefore decided to extend the submission deadline to 26 April 2013.  We will complete the data processing of submitted returns towards the end of April.  

We are well on the way to achieving the participation level of last year (57 LAs) and hopefully we can surpass this number and build upon our year-on-year increase in Service involvement. All further submissions by 26 April 2013 will be most welcome.

Please contact Bob Denman ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ) if you have any queries.
