Our service to you
As well as publishing infomation on our goals and strategies, we also publish reports that document how well we are meeting our targets.
Home Office Targets - the Autumn Performance Report
We publish an Autumn Performance Report that describes how well we are meeting our targets as detailed in the Public Service Delivery Agreement 2001-2004 (see below).
The Home Office Public Service Agreement
The Home Office Public Service Agreement (PSA) (new window) sets the priorities for this department over each spending review period.
The targets contained in the PSA express our priorities in objective terms designed to make the progress we've made transparent, thus allowing it to be monitored by the public, central government, the Home Office and its partners.
The current set of PSAs set under the 2004 spending review are due to expire at the end of March 2008.
The government has announced new public service agreements as part of its comprehensive spending review.
The Home Secretary will lead on the following PSAs:
-
making communities safer
-
reducing the risk to the UK and its interests overseas from international terrorism
-
reducing the harm caused by drugs and alcohol
-
ensuring controlled, fair migration that protects the public and contributes to economic growth
-
delivering a more effective, transparent and responsive criminal justice system for victims and the public (led jointly with the Attorney General and the Secretary of State for Justice)
You can read the full list of the government's new priorities in the comprehensive spending review (new window).
