National Performance Framework
The National Performance Framework (NPF) is Scotland’s wellbeing framework and sets the vision for the kind of Scotland we all want to live in.
Introduction
Following the recent statutory review of the National Outcomes, and the subsequent Scottish Parliament inquiry, the Scottish Government has committed to a period of reform of National Performance Framework to support the development and implementation of a more strategic and impactful framework for Scotland.
The aim is to create a framework that better drives public sector reform, improves collaboration between the national and local governments and empowers communities.
For now, no immediate changes will be made to the NPF (last updated in August 2024). The current 11 National Outcomes are still in operation as is the duty (Community Empowerment Act) on public bodies ‘to have regard’ to them.
Updates on the NPF reform project will be posted here.
