    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

    Appendix-2019-89 Borders NHS Board Meeting Date: 27 June 2019 Approved by: Tim Patterson, Director of Public Health Author: Allyson McCollam, Associate Director of Public Health CHILD POVERTY ACTION PLAN Purpose of Report: The purpose of this report is to update the NHS Board on the development of the Scottish Borders Child Poverty Action Plan in response to the Child Poverty (Scotland) Act 2017. Recommendations: The Board is asked to note and approve Child Poverty Action Plan. Approval Pathways: This report has been prepared in consultation with the key members of the CPP Reducing Inequalities Delivery Group. This Plan has been approved by the Community Planning Partnership on 13th June 2019 for submission to the Scottish Government in June 2019. Executive Summary: This is the first such annual Local Action Plan report for Scottish Borders. It describes the challenges faced in measuring child poverty locally, how this plan links to existing activity, what we have delivered in the reporting period 2018 /19 and what we are committed to delivering over the 2019/20 financial year. This will form the basis for identifying areas that we would like to develop further in the future. It is recognised that partnership is key to the achievement of the outcomes we want for our children, young people and families in Scottish Borders, and this will mean working collaboratively to tackle the drivers of child poverty: income from employment, income from social security and cost of living. The areas for action are as follows: Employability Housing Customer services including welfare benefits advice Education Health and wellbeing The health and wellbeing workstream includes the NHS duty to provide financial inclusion pathways for families with children from the antenatal stage and beyond.

  • Child Poverty in the Orkney Islands
    Child Poverty in the Orkney Islands A rural deprivation case study Introduction The Child Poverty Map of the UK (2016) showed that 14% of children living in the Orkney Islands are in poverty (after housing costs). This is the equivalent of 508 children or 17 school classes. The main aim of this case study is to demonstrate how SIMD can be used with other publicly available data to explore child poverty, using the Orkney Islands as an example. The case study will also address the issue of ‘hidden deprivation’ in rural areas by showing how census indicators can be used to identify areas within data zones where child poverty is more likely to exist. What we did We identified the most deprived areas of the Orkney Islands using SIMD. We sourced other publicly available data about child poverty. This includes child poverty estimates provided by the End Child Poverty Campaign and estimates of children living in low income families, provided by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). We explored risk factors associated with child poverty using indicators from Scotland’s Census 2011 at the output area level. Further information about the data sources used in this case study can be found in the Annex. What are child poverty risk factors? Previous studies have suggested certain What is an output area? factors which are useful for measuring child poverty in local areas. For example, this An output area is created by a includes the percentage of lone parent grouping together of postcodes.
