This paper is a guide to Westminster (UK) Parliamentary constituency statistics on a range of topics. For in depth examination of individual topics, please refer to other guides in this series. This briefing paper has been arranged around different topics of statistics. Within each sub-section there is an explanation of the data available at the constituency level on this topic and a list of the names of these sources. This briefing paper is best viewed on an electronic device since it contains direct links to the sources themselves. The primary sources of official statistics at the constituency level are the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Government departments and their associated agencies. Although there is no central database reporting on all indicators for a given constituency, the ONS has attempted to co-ordinate a list of available datasets across different departments. Its Data Catalogue lists all the national and official statistics that are available for Westminster Parliamentary constituencies and also for constituencies of the devolved parliaments. The table on the following page summarises the data which is available at the Westminster constituency level. Local data published by the Library The Commons Library publishes research briefings and interactive tools that have data on local areas, collected on the Library website at www.commonslibrary.parliament.uk/local-data. You can use our constituency dashboard to see headline statistics about constituencies, or browse all our local data resources by topic. 4 Sources of statistics: Constituency statistics Sources of statistics by topic Smaller Con- Other sub- unit stituency national Highest unit Business, industry Businesses by industry Great Britain Constituency profiles UK Charities Lottery grants UK Crime/ policing Crimes, police administrative data E, W, and NI Education Exam and test results England Pupil numbers England School characteristics England School leavers outcomes England Higher education indicators England Elections and electorates Election results UK Election spending UK Polling UK Energy Fuel poverty England Solar panel installations Great Britain Geography/ constituency boundaries Maps UK Proposed changes to boundaries UK Health service Disease prevalence, general health UK Unpaid care UK GP prescriptions England Organ donors Housing Housing stock and characteristics UK Homelessness E House prices E & W Help to Buy loans E Leasehold homes E & W Immigration Estimated stocks and flows UK Incomes, taxpayers, tax credits Incomes and tax burden UK Tax credits UK Internet (broadband) UK Labour market Employment and unemployment UK Occupations UK Earnings UK Apprenticeships E, W, S, NI Population/ demography Population at census and estimates UK Demographic indicators UK Religion Prevalence of religion UK Listed buildings and monuments England 5 Commons Library Briefing, 18 June 2018 Social security benefits Benefit coverage Great Britain Expenditure on social transfers UK Tax credits UK Transport and traffic Traffic counts Great Britain Road accidents and casualties UK 6 Sources of statistics: Constituency statistics Sources of statistics by topic Businesses The ONS publishes data from the annual Business Register and Employment Survey at the constituency level through its National Online Manpower Information System (NOMIS) platform.

  • Transport Education and Training: What Is Valued? What Is Needed?
    33 Transport Education and Training: What is Valued? What is Needed? Nariida Smith Marcus Wigan Monash University, Australia Transport Education and Training N. Smith and M. Wigan TRANSPORTRANSPORTT EDUCATIONEDUCATION AND TRAINING:TRAINING: WHATWHAT IS VALUED?VALUED? WHATWHAT IS NEEDED? ABSTRACT This paper considers the education and training decisions currently being made in the transport industry, especially in Urban Public Transit. It uses Australian data but the issues raised are generally applicable especially in the developed nations. Whilst an increase in formal rather than on the job training is welcomed the method of deciding what training is needed is questioned. In particular attracting and serving customers are important in passenger transport and are frequently identified as vital to the future of Public Transit. If improvements in these area are sought education and training priorities may need adjustment. This is especially relevant for women who are often found in customer service roles in the industry. INTRODUCTION There is now fairly general lip service given to the view that “Education and Training” are “a good thing for” or even “essential for” the urban transit (UT) industry but for this to be translated into meaningful action we need to ask what “education and training” and “good for whom”. The time honored “sitting next to Nellie” where the new employee learned by watching an experienced worker, a form of training by osmosis, is gradually being replaced with formal training. In 1993 39.3% of employees in the Transport and Storage industry in Australia (ABS,1993) took a formal course. Much of this training took place due to the requirements of the Australian Training Guarantee Act, which required a specified amount (3%) of company turnover be spent in training, or it would be levied as a tax.

  • Wisconsin Emergency Medical Services System Overview; a Call to Action
    WISCONSIN EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES SYSTEM OVERVIEW; A CALL TO ACTION Developed by EMS Stakeholders September, 2008 Approved by EMS Board 08/2008 EMS System Overview; A Call to Action EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The current state of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) System and Trauma Care System are at risk of catastrophic failure. This document discusses the issues through a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis of the system. Primarily the following are the main findings: Strengths‐ These are generally categorized as the number of volunteers that provide care, the dedicated stakeholders/providers, various committees providing network opportunities, a developing hospital and trauma system, EMS educational system, progressive scopes of practice for all level of providers, and the current funding assistance initiatives. Weaknesses‐ identified as workforce issues, lack of stable funding to support development and structure, no increase in funding assistance dollars since its inception, poor communication of information through the EMS industry adding to inadequate representation, lack of DHS/DPH support, lack of regional EMS support, and the geography of service areas. Opportunities ‐ a potential legislative council study, building consensus through stakeholder initiatives and consortia, potential restructuring of the systems, infrastructure to educate and promote EMS & Trauma, developing EMS & Trauma data systems. Threats‐ include inconsistent and inaccurate messages to the public and government leaders, Public perception, other special interest groups, strong ethics of the workforce, lack of stable funding, open administrative rules, DHS/DPH Management, all of which are representative of a failing EMS & Trauma infrastructure. The SWOT analysis is found to be directly associated with the 2001 National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA).

  • The Role of Regional Councillors in Consultation and Communication Regarding Rural Service Delivery in the Oshana Region of Namibia
    THE ROLE OF REGIONAL COUNCILLORS IN CONSULTATION AND COMMUNICATION REGARDING RURAL SERVICE DELIVERY IN THE OSHANA REGION OF NAMIBIA Tuhafeni Helao A research report submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Administration in the School of Government, Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences, University of the Western Cape. October 2005 Supervisor Prof. C. De Coning i DEDICATION This research report is dedicated to the memory of my late grandmother, Susanna Mhingana Iiyambo; for her courage and advice from my childhood. Her departure on the 24th October 2004 has left a vacuum in the family, and indeed, in me, a memory which will never faint for the rest of my life. That is why I am saying: ‘Hambelela Nyokokulu, Nyoko ngeno ina dalwa’, if loosely translated it means; Praise your grandmother otherwise your mother could not have been born”. Thank you grandmother! ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Whilst I take full responsibility for whatever is presented in this Research Report, I am mindfully aware that it could not have been completed in its entirety without the undivided co-operation of a number of people, who gave their moral support, expertise, experience, views and time. Therefore, I wish to express my gratitude to my wife Emma and my children (Ndalinoshisho, Nangolo, Nelao, Ndeshipanda, Ndahafa and Ndapewa). Your patience, considerate and understanding have made this study a reality and without you being there for me I would never have achieved this. Secondly, I will not do justice to myself if I do not express my gratitude and appreciation to Prof.

  • UK Transport Governance Briefing - an Introduction
    UK Transport Governance Briefing - an introduction How does transport work in the metropolitan areas? The six largest conurbations outside London are known as the metropolitan areas (Greater Manchester, Liverpool City Region, Sheffield City Region, Tyne and Wear, the West Midlands and West Yorkshire). Their combined population is over eleven million people. All of the metropolitan areas have a Combined Authority (CA) which can sometimes cover a larger area than the metropolitan area and which is led by District Council Leaders for the purposes of collaborating more closely on strategic issues like transport. Three of the metropolitan areas have a Mayoral Combined Authority (Greater Manchester, Liverpool City Region, West Midlands and South Yorkshire). West Yorkshire is a non-Mayoral Combined Authority but will become a Mayoral Combined Authority from May 2021. Tyne and Wear has a Mayoral Combined Authority for north of the Tyne and a Combined Authority for south of the Tyne. Outside of the metropolitan areas, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Tees Valley and West of England are also Mayoral combined authorities. The responsibilities of CA Mayors in relation to transport and other key policy areas will vary depending on how the post was established in statute. The role of the directly elected CA Mayor is not the same as the well‐known London Mayoral model in that London doesn’t have a Combined Authority and there are no plans for directly elected city region‐ wide assemblies as there is in London. Combined Authority Mayors are also different from directly elected Mayors of District Councils like those already in situ in places like Liverpool, Bristol and Leicester.
