The County Posted by Ons.Geography | April 26, 2016
High quality statistics, analysis and advice to help Britain make better decisions. Search The County Posted by ons.geography | April 26, 2016 Of all the many geographies in the United Kingdom, this one is probably calculated to cause the most confusion. But why should that be? After all, everyone knows what a county is and which county (if any) they live in, don’t they? Well, that depends entirely on which particular type of county you’re talking about. Over the years, counties have (and still do) come in many flavours: administrative counties, ancient counties, ceremonial counties, counties for lieutenancy purposes, counties proper, geographical counties, historic counties, metropolitan counties, non-metropolitan counties, postal counties, preserved counties, registration counties, traditional counties, and probably more. When someone says ‘county’, which of these do they mean? Leaving aside postal county, which is no longer required by Royal Mail for the delivery of mail, there are three types of county which are most likely to be used. County for administrative purposes – in England only, e.g. Hampshire (excluding Southampton and Portsmouth unitary authorities) County for lieutenancy purposes – ceremonial county in England, e.g. Hampshire (including Southampton and Portsmouth unitary authorities); preserved county in Wales, e.g. Gwent; lieutenancy area in Scotland, e.g. Banffshire. County for historic, traditional or cultural purposes – e.g. Middlesex, Yorkshire (as a single entity), Glamorgan, Peeblesshire. The geography of ONS statistics has dealt primarily with modern and current administrative areas, as these are the areas with the up-to-date responsibility for financial and other resources in the divisions of the country – so in terms of top tier administrative areas, statistics are generally allocated to (non-metropolitan) counties and to unitary authorities. -

Introduction This Plan sets out the local policing priorities and objectives for Orkney Islands for 2013-2014 and is a statutory requirement of the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012. It is produced as part of a planning process which takes account of the Scottish Governments overarching vision for public services, the Strategic Police Priorities set by Scottish Ministers, the Scottish Police Authorities Strategic Police Plan and the Chief Constable of Scotland’s Annual Police Plan. The Local Policing Plan for the Orkney Islands represents a critical part of the delivery process for the new service, demonstrating our commitment to local policing within the national planning framework and enabling us to respond effectively to the concerns of local communities as well as meet and tackle nationwide demands. This Local Policing Plan will be supported by 6 Multi Member Ward Level Community Policing Plans which respond directly to local needs and demands. 2. Foreword by: Chief Constable This Plan is the first under the new policing arrangements for Scotland. Local Policing will be the focus of the Police Service of Scotland and will deliver real improvements to the way services are delivered to local communities. -
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. A households and percentage of households single output area can contain 50 with no persons in employment with people and 20 households, but can dependent children in an area. -

I visited the Leeds RDA centre on Boxing Day and saw for myself President how hard the volunteers work under difficult conditions.

I have been overwhelmed by all your cards and messages of sympathy to myself and my family. We cannot thank you enough for your generous donations to the charities we support. We must all look forward as a new year - indeed a new decade - brings us fresh opportunities and challenges.

Public Records (Scotland) Act 2011 The Public Records (Scotland) Act 2011 (the Act) received Royal Assent on 20 April 2011. It is the first new public records legislation in Scotland since 1937 and came into force on 1 January 2013. Its primary aim is to promote efficient and accountable record keeping by named Scottish public authorities. The Act has its origins in The Historical Abuse Systemic Review: Residential Schools and Children’s Homes in Scotland 1950-1995 (The Shaw Report) published in 2007. The Shaw Report recorded how its investigations were hampered by poor recordkeeping and found that thousands of records had been created, but were then lost due to an inadequate legislative framework and poor records management. Crucially, it demonstrated how former residents of children’s homes were denied access to information about their formative years. -
