Locality Profiles

Health and Wellbeing Children's Services Daventry

INTRODUCTION

This locality profile expands on the findings of the main document and aims to build a localised picture of those clusters of indicators which require focus from the Council and partner agencies. Wherever possible, data has been extracted at locality level and comparison with the rest of the county, the region and England has been carried out.

MAIN FINDINGS

Daventry has no areas in which it performs worse that the other districts and boroughs. However, some of the indicators which are very close to the national average are:  Life expectancy at birth for both males and females  Low birth weight in term babies  Under 18s conceptions  Tooth decay in under 5s  Infant mortality

A HEALTHY START IN LIFE

BIRTH RATES

The number of Live Births in Daventry (815 per year) is the lowest in the county. This means that there is overall a small number of children in this district who will access services such as Children’s Centres and a reduced need for Early Years provision and school provision. vi The General Fertility Rate (GFR), which shows the number of live births per 1,000 women aged 15–44 (calculated using mid-2012 population estimates) shows that Daventry, at a rate of 62.6, has the second lowest number of children born per female capita, after South Northamptonshire. This means that women in Daventry tend to have fewer children per capita than in other areas, and also that less people have children. vii

10 | Children’s JSNA 2015 Update Published January 2015, next update January 2016

HEALTHY BIRTH WEIGHT

The percentage of live births with low birth weight during 2012 in Daventry was 1.7%. This is below the England (2.8%), East Midlands (2.8%) and Northamptonshire (2.4%) averages but is not considered significantly different. The trend for low birth weight in Daventry shows that it has remained similar to the England average since 2006. The highest levels in Daventry were in 2010 (3.3%) but has been steadily declining in levels of low birth weight since then. viii

11 | Children’s JSNA 2015 Update Published January 2015, next update January 2016

INFANT MORTALITY

The infant mortality rate in Daventry in 2010/12 was 4.1 deaths per 1,000 live births. This rate is the same as that for both England (4.1 per 1000) and the East Midlands (4.1 per 1000) in 2010/12. The rate of Infant Mortality in Daventry has also remained similar to that of England since 2001/03. ix

12 | Children’s JSNA 2015 Update Published January 2015, next update January 2016

SMOKING DURING PREGNANCY

The East Midlands has a higher proportion of smoking during pregnancy than England as a whole, and Northamptonshire is no exception. In 2013/14 15% of mothers in Daventry were smokers at the time of delivery. This is slightly below the East Midlands average of 15.1%, and compares poorly to the England average of just 12%. While the data trend for smoking status at time of delivery shows that in Daventry levels are declining, they have remained worse than the England average since recorded began in 2011/12. x

Further detailed analysis on smoking habits of people in Northamptonshire can be found in the 2013 JSNA Smoking Detailed Report by PHAST on Northamptonshire Analysis.

CHILDHOOD OBESITY

Childhood obesity has increased across the country as a whole. A snapshot of Reception and Year 6 children for 2012/13 shows an increase in those classified as ‘obese’ of 9.6% nationally, 8.5% in Northamptonshire and 6.3% in Daventry.

Overweight Obese District % Reception % Year 6 % Reception % Year 6 Corby 27.1% 37.7% 12.0% 21.6% Daventry 17.2% 28.7% 6.8% 13.1% East Northamptonshire 20.1% 33.6% 7.9% 17.1% Kettering 23.4% 34.7% 8.6% 19.1% Northampton 20.2% 31.4% 9.3% 17.8% South Northamptonshire 19.8% 30.5% 7.8% 14.8% Wellingborough 23.0% 35.6% 8.8% 18.4%

Daventry shows an overall increase in the percentage of children classified as ‘overweight’ from 2006/07 through to 2012/13 for 10-11 year olds (Year 6) and an overall decrease for 4-5 year olds (Reception). For both age groups analysed, Daventry has started and maintained a lower percentage of children classified as ‘overweight’ compared to both the East Midlands and National averages. xii

Wider information on obesity in Northamptonshire for both adults and children and the implications of this can be found in the 2013 JSNA Obesity Detailed Report by PHAST on Northamptonshire Analysis.

ECONOMIC WELLBEING

DEPRIVATION With comparatively low levels of unemployment and deprivation, Daventry is a more prosperous part of the county. Weekly earnings for full time employees are the highest in the county, and it shows a high proportion of people employed in higher level occupational groups, although this is polarised by a similarly high figure in lower occupations. xiii

FREE SCHOOL MEALS

Across Northamptonshire, 14% of pupils are eligible for free school meals. 11% of pupils in Daventry are eligible, equivalent to 1,146 pupils. Proportionately this is the second lowest across the county. South Northamptonshire has the lowest percentage of pupils eligible for FSMs, at 6%. FSM eligibility has in the past been used as an indicator of poverty. With the introduction of FSM for all KS1 pupils this will no longer be a useful measure for this age range.xiv

UNEMPLOYMENT

In 2014, there were 745 Job Seekers Allowance claimants in Daventry, accounting for 7.4% of the Northamptonshire total, indicating levels of unemployment below Northamptonshire averages. In line with county trends, the number of people claiming JSA is declining. Between January 2012 and June 2014, the Daventry total fell from 1,231, a reduction of 39%.xv

18 | Children’s JSNA 2015 Update Published January 2015, next update January 2016

CHILD POVERTY

As of May 2013, 11% of children in Daventry lived within a household which claimed Out of Work Benefit. This is closely followed by East Northamptonshire at 12%. South Northamptonshire, with just 5%, has the lowest rate of out of work households in Northamptonshire; Corby has the highest rate

with 20%. Children in Poverty is a measure of those children aged 19 and under living in low income families when income is less than 60% of the medium household income before housing costs. In Daventry, 11.5% of children aged 0-19 years lived in poverty in 2011. The highest rate in the county is in Corby (20.1%) and South Northamptonshire, at 6.6%, is the lowest. Continuing the trend from the previous year, in 2011 the rate in Daventry is below the England rate of 20.1% for 0-19 year olds living in poverty. xvi

19 | Children’s JSNA 2015 Update Published January 2015, next update January 2016

EMPLOYMENT TYPE

Employment within Northamptonshire is spread across a number of industries. The most significant employer is Public Administration (PA) providing 25% of jobs, followed by Wholesale and Retail (W&R) employing 19% of working residents. Financial and Business Services (FBS) employ 15% of workers and Manufacturing 13%. Against regional and national figures, the county is less dependent on the PA sector but has an increased concentration of jobs in W&R and Manufacturing.

Variations in the county can be significant, but for Daventry the profile is relatively consistent with Northamptonshire’s one. This sees marginal decreases in the share of employment in W&R and PA, whilst jobs in FBS increase by just over 1% point.xvii

20 | Children’s JSNA 2015 Update Published January 2015, next update January 2016

DISTANCE TRAVELLED FOR WORK AND METHOD OF TRAVEL

Residents in Daventry aged 16 and over travel an average of 11.9 miles to work. It is the third furthest average distance travelled to work in the county, behind South Northamptonshire (12.8 miles) and East Northamptonshire (12.0 miles). The distance is above the Northamptonshire average of 10.3 miles as well as the East Midlands and England averages. Other than Daventry town, the district is largely rural, which is likely to contribute to people having to seek employment at urban centres outside of the district and therefore this impacts on the distance travelled. xviii In Daventry most people (71.9%) travel to work by driving a car or van. This is the third highest rate in the county and higher than the Northamptonshire average (69.1%). Daventry has the joint lowest rate with East Northamptonshire (1.4%) for travelling to work by bus or coach. This is lower than the Northamptonshire average (3.8%) and considerably lower than the England average (7.5%). The rural nature of the district will impact on the number and frequency of bus services, which means it may not be convenient for people to use these methods to travel to work. xix Daventry has the second highest rate of people working from home (8.3%), only just behind South Northamptonshire (8.5%), and well above the Northamptonshire (5.3%) and England (5.4%) averages. The rural nature of the district increases the distance which people are likely to have to travel to reach work, and coupled with the potential lack of convenient alternative options to driving, is likely to be one of the key contributory factors as to why the working from home rate is high compared with more urban boroughs within the county. The roll-out of the Superfast Broadband programme will further support opportunities for remote working and self-employment.

Corby has the highest rate at 6.01 per 1,000 household and South Northamptonshire has the lowest rate with 1.69 per 1,000 households for recorded domestic crime and incidents. Despite this, there has been a sharp increase in the numbers of recorded domestic violence incidents and crime over the past few months. Between Sept 2013 and Aug 2014, of the registered incidents of domestic violence there was concern for children in 102 incidences, or in 37.2% of cases. Across Northamptonshire, this level is slightly lower at 36.7%. Concern was registered for children in an additional 132 ‘domestic incidents’ in Daventry.xxii

DRUG USE

In Northamptonshire, overall numbers of client contacts remain relativity stable. Packs collected show more fluctuation, with a high spike around April 2013. There is no known reason for this increase. Patterns of drug use in Daventry, as measured by client contacts, fall broadly in line with patterns across Northamptonshire, while needle pack distribution has shown a much lower trend by comparison. In 2013, there were 625 contacts in Daventry, and 1,024 needle packs distributed. This represents 4.8% of Northamptonshire's contacts and 3.4% of packs distributed. With Daventry’s population being 11.3% that of Northamptonshire, this demonstrates lower than average numbers accessing services.xxiii

ALCOHOL RELATED HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS (ALL AGES)

Figures for 2012-13 show that Daventry (426) has a lower number of hospital stays for alcohol related harm and is below both the England (637) and East Midlands (646) figures.

SPECIAL EDUCATION NEEDS (SEN)

Daventry’s school population with a statement of special education needs forms 9% of Northamptonshire's total statemented population. This is below the percentage of Northamptonshire children in Daventry schools (10%). SEN trends by reason also follow the general trend across Northamptonshire, with Behavioural, Social Educational Difficulties (22%), Mild Learning Disabilities (MLD)(16%) and Speech Language and Communication Needs (SLCN)(19%) being the most common reason for additional need. The proportion of statements due to Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is lower in Daventry than the county average, with Daventry schools accounting for 10.2% of all autistic cases across Northamptonshire, compared against the average of 12.8%. However, 13.9 % of statements in Daventry have autism as their primary need which is above average.

35 | Children’s JSNA 2015 Update Published January 2015, next update January 2016

The trend of statements by National Curriculum Year in Daventry falls broadly in line with Northamptonshire trends. The percentage of students with statements peaks in year 10 (4.7% of pupils); Daventry rates are mostly well below each national curriculum year county average apart from Year 4, where they are above by 0.3% and Years 1 and 11 where the rates are equal.

For those children without a statement, information is recorded for School Action cases – those cases where schools offer additional support. When even more help is needed, and external support will be sought, this is School Action Plus. 9.6 % of students in primary schools and 11.3% of pupils in secondary schools in Daventry are defined as either School Action or School Action Plus. The average for Northamptonshire is 11% and 11.2% respectively. Daventry has the 3rd lowest rate (out of all 7 localities) of School Action and School Action Plus within the primary phase and the 4th lowest in the secondary sector.xxxi

PROTECTION FROM RISKY BEHAVIOURS

NEET

The number of young people aged 16-24 years Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) is nationally falling, with the 16-18 age group achieving the lowest rates on record in March 2014. The annual measure is the weighted average of November/December/January rates. The trend in Daventry, comparing the financial years of 2012/13 and 2013/14, shows an increase in the percentage of NEET from 4.3 % to 4.8% (a 12 % rise in the year on year rate). It is still the third lowest rate amongst any locality in Northamptonshire, 0.9% below the county average (it was the second lowest before). xxxiii This indicator will be affected by the introduction of mandatory education or training for all those aged 16.

YOUTH OFFENDING

During 2013-14, a total of 53 outcomes for youth offenders were registered in Daventry, equating to 7.5% of all outcomes recorded across Northamptonshire. The proportion of pre-court outcomes in the district was higher, at 8.2% of the county’s total, whilst the percentage of court outcomes was slightly lower in Daventry at 6.6%. The proportion of pre-court and after-court outcomes was below the proportion of the borough’s share of the county’s children and all ages population. For youth offenders there are a range of possible outcomes. These outcomes are dependent on the offence committed and the person’s previous offending history. During 2013-14 the most frequent pre-court outcome used Daventry was a ‘Youth Caution’ (30, or 96.8% of local outcomes) whilst the most frequent after-court outcome was a ‘Referral Order’ (10, or 45.5% of local outcomes).

In Daventry, the number of youth offending outcomes received generally increased with age, peaking at age 16 with this group receiving nearly 30% of all outcomes (12 out of 53). Three-quarters of these outcomes were handed down to young people over 15 years of age. 46 young people received the 53 outcomes handed down. This equates to an average rate of 1.2 outcomes per offender and correlates closely to the Northamptonshire average of 1.30 outcomes per offender.

The rate of first time entrants to the youth justice system shows the rate of 10-17 year olds who have received their first reprimand, warning or conviction per 100,000 population. Young offenders are often at risk of more unmet health needs than their peers. Rates recorded for first time entrants to the youth justice system in Northamptonshire have been in overall declining since 2010. Both 2010 and 2011 (911 and 747 per 100,000 respectively) declined in line with that of England (902 per 100,000 population) and were considered statistically similar to the England rate. However, 2012 (622 per 100,000) saw a slowing down in the rate of Northamptonshire first time entrants in comparison to England (556 per 100,000) and resulted in Northamptonshire being significantly worse that the England rate. In 2013, Northamptonshire (469 per 100,000) rates again reduced and once again became similar to those of England (441 per 100,000).xxxvii

CHILD PROTECTION PLANS 2013-14

In 2013-2014, 80 children in Daventry became subject to a Child Protection Plan (CPP). This represents 7.8% of CPPs initiated across Northamptonshire. Estimates suggest that 11.0% of Northamptonshire’s children reside in Daventry, indicating a lower than average percentage of children becoming subject to CPPs in the district. Based on population estimates, 0.51% of children in Daventry became subject to CPPs, below the Northamptonshire average of 0.71%. The district with the lowest percentage of children becoming subject to CPPs is South Northamptonshire at 0.12%.xxxix

49 | Children’s JSNA 2015 Update Published January 2015, next update January 2016

There are five reason categories for which children become subjects of CPPs, these are Emotional Abuse, Neglect, Physical Abuse, Sexual Abuse or Multiple Abuse. In Daventry the top three reasons for CPP are: 1. Multiple Abuse 2. Emotional Abuse 3. Neglect

Across Northamptonshire there is a general trend for the number of CPPs put in place to decline as the child’s age increases. However, Daventry does not adhere to this trend. In Daventry, 59 of the 80 CPPs issued, or 74%, involved children aged 10 or below. Across Northamptonshire as a whole, 77% of children fell within this age bracket.

Child Protection Plans (CPP) are developed and applied to a child and their family or carers where they are considered at risk of abuse or neglect. As at

51 | Children’s JSNA 2015 Update Published January 2015, next update January 2016

March 2014 a total of 777 CPPs were recorded as completed across Northamptonshire, with 66 of these registered in Daventry. The growth in the number of completed CPPs has been dramatic in the past 12 months, increasing by 64% for the county and 164% in Daventry.

The duration of completed CPPs within Northamptonshire has reduced during the past 12 months with those lasting for more than 6 months failing by over 3% and completions in under 6 months increased by this amount. In particular this has seen a concentration in completion occurring between 1 and 6 months representing 55% of CPPs. Within Daventry an opposite trend can be seen, CPP’s lasting longer than 6 months rising from 16% to 24%, whilst those completed in under 1 month has fallen from 32% to just 1.5%. Comparatively, the duration of CPPs in Daventry is high in the 1 to 3 months and 3 to 6 months categories. CPP completions in Daventry represent 8.5% of those in Northamptonshire.

LOOKED AFTER CHILDREN 2013-14

53 | Children’s JSNA 2015 Update Published January 2015, next update January 2016

In 2013-14, 32 children in Daventry entered the care of Children's Social Services, representing 6.6% of all looked after children in Northamptonshire compared with 10.51% of the total child population residing in Daventry. Of all the children who reside in Daventry, 0.20% became looked after during 13/14. This is over twice the rate of South Northamptonshire, where 0.09% of children are looked after, and one third as many as Northampton at 0.60%. Looked After Children are categorised under 8 reasons for why they are LAC. In Daventry the three most common reasons are: 1. Abuse or Neglect 2. Family Dysfunction 3. Parental Illness or Disability

Family Dysfunction and Abuse and Neglect are the top two categories in all districts of Northamptonshire. In a snapshot taken on the 31st March 2014, there were 55 children being looked after in Daventry. This represents 6.7% of Northamptonshire's total population of Looked After Children, which is well below average numbers in comparison to the population size. xl

As with Child Protection Plans, the age at which a child is most likely to enter care is 0-1, however, there is no direct correlation between age and care admissions. In both 2012-13 and 2013-14, 11 year olds were least likely to enter care and between 11 and 16 this likelihood gradually

54 | Children’s JSNA 2015 Update Published January 2015, next update January 2016

increased. Daventry’s trend is similar, with peak admissions being at ages 0 and 15. During 2013-14, 53.1% of children taken into care were aged 10 or under. This compares to 50.5% across Northamptonshire as a whole.

The period LAC stay in care has changed notably in the past 12 months. For Northamptonshire, in March 2013, 70% of LAC were in care for between 1 and 15 years and 48% for between 2 and 15 years. For March 2014 this had fallen to 61% and 43% respectively. In the same period, the number of those in care for less than 1 year had increased by 44%. The trend in Daventry partially replicates this; whilst there has been a marginal increase in those staying in care less than 1 year, a larger increase of almost 7% has been seen in those in care for between 2 and 5 years. A similarly large increase of almost 4% is seen for those in care for 10+ years. In both of these categories of duration – 2 years to 5 years and 10+ years – Daventry measures comparatively high against Northamptonshire figures. The number of LAC is 2nd lowest of all localities in the county, accounting for just over 6.5% of the caseload. 77% of LACs and 84% of CPPs in Northamptonshire are White. However, in Daventry these figures are higher, where 84% of LACs and 93% of CPPs are White. Nonetheless, this is to be expected, since Daventry has a higher proportion of White people – 96% compared to Northamptonshire’s 91%. 7% of LACs in Daventry are Mixed Ethnicity and 7% are Black. Furthermore, 7% of CCPs are Black, this is high compared to Daventry’s population, where only 1% are mixed and 1% are Black. Nonetheless, this trend is common across the county, with 7% of LACs Mixed and 6% Black, compared to a population of 2% Mixed and 2% Black.
