    Case Study: DataGM Type: Website Organisation(s): GM local authorities, Open Data Manchester, GMFRS Tags: open data, process, standards, website This was the earliest attempt in Greater Manchester to create a simple datastore that would hold important data from across the region, focussing on government transparency and providing better public services. The result was a highly functional datastore with which brought together data from a wider range of data publishers, and included a total of 371 datasets. It was ultimately not successful in creating a lasting basis for open data cooperation and access in Greater Manchester. However, it provides interesting lessons on how to proceed with future projects. Background DataGM was launched in February 2011, inspired by successful projects in North American cities, such as Track DC (now Open Data DC) in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore City Stats (now Open Baltimore). It was conceived as a one-stop-shop for key datasets on all aspects of city life. The programme emerged through a partnership between Trafford Council and the digital culture agency Future Everything. This began in 2009 when the Manchester Innovation Fund supported Future Everything to build open data innovation architecture in Greater Manchester, funded by NESTA, Manchester Council and the North West Regional Development Agency (now closed). Future Everything and Trafford Council in turn partnered with a wide range of data publishing organisations. These included local authority partners, as well as Greater Manchester Policy, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (now Transport for Greater Manchester), and the North West Strategic Health Authority.

  • Three Policy Priorities for Greater Manchester January 2017
    Three policy priorities for Greater Manchester January 2017 Introduction The first metro mayor of Greater Manchester will be elected with a vision for the city and clear strategic, deliverable policies to meet it. The challenge and workload will be considerable, with powers and expectations ranging from delivering policy, to establishing the institutions and capacity for effective city-region governance. This briefing offers three priorities that address the biggest issues facing Greater Manchester. A ‘quick win’ will help the mayor to set the tone for delivery right from the start. Delivering results quickly will build trust, and show what the metro mayor is able to do for the city-region. The best ‘quick wins’ in these circumstances are high profile and of value to citizens. Strategic decisions form the framework for delivering the metro mayor’s vision. As such, the mayor will have the power to take the decisions that will make the most of the new geography of governance. While the mayor will be keen to show progress towards their vision, strategic decisions will often take longer to show outcomes, therefore careful evaluation is needed to allow for flexibility and to demonstrate the effects. A long term vision for the city will be the key election platform – it is what the mayor is working towards while in office. This should be ambitious, but reflect the real needs and potential of the city. Some aspects of the vision will be achievable within the mayor’s term in office, while others will build momentum or signal a change in direction. It is important to be clear and strike the balance of where each policy lies on this spectrum.

  • Educational Inequalities in Greater Manchester
    Educational Inequalities in Greater Manchester Characteristics of School‐Age Pupils in Greater Manchester Socio‐Economic Disadvantage About the indicator: Socio‐economic disadvantage in education is usually measured by eligibility for Free School Meals (FSM). Pupils are eligible for Free School Meals if their families are on low incomes and not in full‐time work. Greater Manchester has a higher proportion of children on FSM than England or the North West. In all authorities in Greater Manchester (as in England), higher proportions of the Early Years cohort (aged under 5) are on FSM than the Key Stage 2 (KS2) cohort (the end of primary school, or the Key Stage 4 (KS4) cohort (aged 15/16 and taking. Levels of socio‐economic disadvantage vary across Greater Manchester. Manchester has the highest levels ‐ with around 1 in 3 pupils eligible for Free School Meals – and Stockport and Trafford have the lowest levels. Percentage of children on Free School Meals by stage of education, 2013/14 Ethnic Diversity About the indicator: Children whose ethnicity is known are classified into 5 broad Ethnic groups. These are ‘White’, ‘Mixed‐ethnicity’, ‘Black’, ‘Asian’ and ‘Chinese’. A small percentage of children at each stage do not have a classification for their ethnicity. Where there are very small numbers of children of a particular ethnic group (e.g. at Local Authority level), the exact figures are not reported to preserve pupil confidentiality. Greater Manchester has a higher proportion of minority ethnic pupils than England or the North West. In all authorities in Greater Manchester, the Early Years cohort has the highest proportion of minority ethnic pupils, indicating how the conurbation is becoming more diverse over time There is a great deal of diversity in both the size and composition of the minority ethnic cohort between authorities in Greater Manchester.

  • Patterns of Poverty in Greater Manchester's Neighbourhoods
    Patterns of poverty in Greater Manchester’s neighbourhoods Analysis of small area poverty estimates for 2014 Inclusive Growth Analysis Unit, May 2017 Patterns of poverty in Greater Manchester’s neighbourhoods In April 2017 the Office for National Statistics published a set of model-based estimates of poverty for Middle Layer Super Output Areas in England and Wales in 2013/14. 1 These estimates can be used to assess differences in the proportion of households in poverty across small areas. This note outlines our initial analysis of the data for Greater Manchester. A short glossary note is included at the end, describing key terms. It should be noted that these are modelled estimates which are subject to wide confidence intervals. In Moss Side, for example, 25.8% of households were estimated to be in poverty, with a lower confidence limit of 18.5% and an upper limit of 34.6%. While the estimates offer insight into geographical patterns of disadvantage, detailed analysis of differences between specific neighbourhoods would not be appropriate. As a guide, the ONS estimates that only the 22% of MSOAs with the highest poverty rates are significantly different from the 22% in the lowest ranks.2 What is the scale of poverty at neighbourhood level in Greater Manchester? Figure 1: Poverty rates before and after housing costs across Greater Manchester 20143 BEFORE HOUSING COSTS AFTER HOUSING COSTS Across the 346 MSOAs in Greater Manchester the average (median) household poverty rate Before Housing Costs (BHC) was 16.1% in 2014. This means that on average just under 1 in 6 of the households living in these areas were income poor (BHC).

  • Salford Locality Plan 2020-25
    Salford Locality Plan 2020-25 July 2020 Foreword It is our pleasure and privilege, as joint chairs of Salford’s Health and Wellbeing Board, to introduce this latest refresh of the Salford Locality Plan. Right across Salford, all partners are committed to improving health and wellbeing and to reduce health inequalities. By focusing on our collective resources, we can maximise the social value return to Salford as well as improve health outcomes. The Locality Plan is the link between our understanding of needs and opportunities in health and wellbeing, and our coordinated response to them. There is a requirement on all health and wellbeing boards to produce and publish such a plan, complementing the plans at Greater Manchester level. This plan will inform, challenge, inspire and energise our collective action across Salford. It is timely to look at how far we have come and what remains to be done since the previous version of the locality plan in March 2016. Pooling of the great majority of the health and social care budget, and greater transparency on the rest, has been a major development of the past few years. These pooled arrangements are helping us to invest in prevention, to prioritise spend on areas most needed, and to mitigate the impact of reducing resources on the most vulnerable and on health inequalities. Despite these collective efforts, the challenges remain. We have not made enough progress in closing health inequalities that may appear intractable and deeply ingrained; but there is a road map towards closing these inequalities. The Marmot report ‘Ten years on’ demonstrates where change has been made but also where nationally, regionally and locally we have seen the impact of austerity, stalling life expectancy and widening inequalities.
