Welcome to the PKC Evidence Portal

 

Welcome to the PKC Evidence Portal

The PKC Evidence Portal helps you to find background information which supports the results of Perth & Kinross Council’s annual self evaluation process and public performance report.  It is designed for members of the public, Elected Members, officers of the Council and all scrutiny and professional bodies interested in learning more about how the Council is performing.  The portal provides access to published research and information across all service areas and is a valuable resource which will help to develop an evidence informed culture at Perth & Kinross Council.

Background

Decision makers need research evidence to underpin practice and policy making.  Because evidence is so widely dispersed and many people have limited time to look for it, we have created a central point of access to enable interested people to find relevant information fast.

How to use the portal

The portal is a hyperlinked directory of information, reports, plans, awards and other documents which has been structured around the key areas below.  The hyperlinks (where available) take you straight to the document or the relevant webpage and we have also provided contact details should you require more information.
