Comparisons use matching reporting periods where available. Financial scores are separate from provisional indicator comparisons. Missing data is identified rather than estimated.
Why compare the same authority type? Local authorities have different responsibilities. Restricting comparisons to the same authority type helps avoid misleading comparisons between councils delivering different services. Results should still be interpreted alongside local circumstances and data coverage.
