This process ensures there is a continuous narrative where next steps are identified and progress made towards them.  \nThis summary report is an overview of the analysis of the progress of all 32 local authorities for the period December 2022 to March 2023. Illustrations throughout this summary are examples from local authority reports.  \nThe key theme for this reporting period was data for improvement and is summarised in Section 2. It outlines the improvement and the progress local authorities are making in using data to improve outcomes for children and young people impacted by poverty with a focus on tackling the poverty-related attainment gap.  \n1.2 Progress towards next steps for this period  \nIn the first round of triannual reports all local authorities identified their next steps for the implementation of the SAC refresh. When summarised in the Scottish Attainment Challenge National Summary Report September to November 2022 , key themes for next steps emerged as:  \n• Pupil Equity Funding  \n• Data  \n• Care Experienced Children and Young People Funding  \n• Stretch aims  \nThese key themes continued to highlight the importance being placed by local authorities on the SAC Framework for Recovery and Accelerating Progress (the Framework) .  \nIn addition, local authorities are taking action to ensure the successful implementation of the Strategic Equity Fund (SEF) . This is a positive indication that in the first year of the fund, local authorities have been quick to ensure that effective planning and measures have been put in place.  \nThere is strong evidence that all local authorities have made progress towards their next steps. Indications suggest that the pace of progress has improved further. This is particularly notable in relation to the implementation and use of the Pupil Equity Fund (PEF) which was referenced by 75% of local authorities.  \nPupil Equity Funding  \nMost local authorities outlined the substantial progress being made in using the Pupil Equity Fund. There is evidence that the following key areas have strongly contributed to the progress being made in closing the poverty-related attainment gap:  \n• Tracking and monitoring of interventions and spend  \n• Planning, reporting and review  \n• Visits/meetings/drop-ins  \n• Impact and evaluation  \n• Financial support  \nThe use of data is interwoven throughout these areas and is a key component for all local authorities when implementing activities which contribute to progress. In most instances, progress is not attributed to only one of the areas identified above, rather a combination is evident. It is clear that where local authorities have developed a cycle for the implementation of the PEF, strong progress has been made.  \nTracking and monitoring is cited in the next steps by more than a third of local authorities.
