It provides the commissioners with a robust evidence base across a range of health and wellbeing issues to help identify priority areas to target and place services in appropriate areas. The report pulls together information from various sources to present a picture of the health and wellbeing of children aged 0-4, following through the Best Start Pathway. The data is presented and displayed at Ward Level with comparisons made with Staffordshire and England. Information used in the report is the latest available at the time of writing. Health and social needs are complex and it is unlikely that there will be a single factor which is responsible for the particular situation in each local area. Therefore, it is important that no single item of information is treated in isolation. Instead the various pieces of data and evidence should be used together to give a better picture of the needs of children and young people in the local community. We aim to produce this annually with the next one being due November 2016 to support the Districts with their Local Authority annual conversations.
