Introduction

The Single Integrated Plan (SIP) was published April 2013. The SIP identifies key priorities that the One Newport Local Service Board (LSB) will work towards achieving over the next three years. The priorities have been identified as those where the LSB and other key stakeholders must work together to achieve success.

The Issue for Newport

The Single Integrated Plan is designed to reflect local and regional outcomes, and focus on meeting the requirements of those residents most in need and those communities that are most deprived. Neighbourhood working will put people at the centre of public services and the community. Tackling issues that can make a difference to people’s lives in the long term is key to the success of the strategy.

Sustainable development is the overarching policy framework which integrates social, economic and environmental actions to achieve a common vision for Newport. It involves ensuring that all actions are economically, socially and environmentally sustainable and so contribute to overall community wellbeing, now and in the future.

Profiles

The Local Service Board has agreed to develop a neighbourhood working approach to delivering services at a local level. Neighbourhood working is the process of improving and joining up local services, whilst focusing on specific neighbourhoods and being more responsive to local needs.

To facilitate this there must be systems for robust data analysis, intelligence gathering and community engagement. This allows the partnership to improve services and reduce gaps in outcomes such as education, community safety and quality of life measures.

In support of this a profile of Newport has been developed which provides a comparison across the 20 designated ward areas and includes positive news for Newport, issues of concern and the key factors which impact on our citizens and local communities.

The Newport overview is supported by individual ward profiles which provide more in-depth analysis and detail with the aim of providing a snapshot of the local area.

In order to understand the needs of different communities across the city, information within the profiles include demographics, health, housing, education, employment, community safety, facilities and the local environment. These profiles can be used as an evidence base to identify the need for developing new services.

Newport Ward Overview Profile 2014 Page 1 Section 1: Executive Summary

Context

Area: 217.7km2 – approximately 1% of the total area of Wales at 21,225 km2 Population: The Office for National Statistics (ONS) 2013 Mid-Year Population Estimate for Newport is 146,558 – approximately 4.75% of the total population of Wales at 3,082,412 Households: The Office for National Statistics 2011 Census household count for Newport was 63,445 – approximately 5% of the total number of households in Wales at 1,383,814. The 2014 estimated household count for Newport based on analysis of localised Council Tax and Electoral Registration records is circa 66,000 General: Newport consists of 20 Wards, 14 Community Councils and 95 Lower Super Output Areas*

The profile will be updated annually and will be published at the end of September each year. The profile contains data and information for Newport and has been compiled using a variety of information sources available at Ward and Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) level. Ward and Lower Super Output Area Boundaries:

The Ward and *Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) geographic boundaries within the profile are those formally produced by the Boundary Commission for Wales in relation to existing electoral or ward divisions and subsequent small area geographies produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). LSOAs were first introduced by ONS following the 2001 Census and have been updated following the 2011 Census. LSOAs were established to enhance local, regional and national comparisons and ensure protection and confidentiality of individuals through disclosure at an appropriate level. Lower Super Output Areas are designed to improve the reporting of small geographic area statistics and are fully aligned and contiguous with electoral divisions and electoral ward boundaries. Where populations have increased since 2001, the LSOA has been split into two or more areas, where a population has decreased the LSOA have been merged with an adjacent one. In summary Lower Super Output Areas are constructed and compiled on the basis of the following population and household minimum and maximum thresholds in Wales and England:

Population Households

Population Estimates – Deprivation and Publication of Statistics: The ONS produces annual estimates of the resident population. The most authoritative population estimates are produced every ten years in the United Kingdom, and come from the Census of Population and Housing which are updated to produce mid-year population estimates in the inter-censal period. Note: mid-year population estimates are published in age ranges 0 to 15 years, 16 to 64 years and 65 years and over only. The estimates are derived by taking the population measured in the most recent census or mid-year estimate; ageing this on; then adjusting for births, deaths, international migration and internal migration (that is, migration within the UK). The population estimates indicate how many people live in a local authority area and what the composition of the population is by age and sex. The population estimates are made by the cohort component method. In summary, mid-year population estimates are calculated as follows:

 Take the Census base or mid-year resident population, age-on one year, and estimate the population change between 1 July and 30 June by: . Adding births occurring during the year . Removing deaths occurring during the year . Allowing for migration to and from the population The estimate is made for population residents as at 30 June of the reference year with local authority level statistics published in July with more detailed Lower Super Output Area statistics published in November. A detailed explanation of the methods used for areas in England and Wales is provided in the Methods Guide for the National and Local Authority Population Estimates.

Newport Ward Overview Profile 2014 Page 33 Newport Ward Overview Profile 2014 Page 34 Section 3: Newport and the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD)

The Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD) is the official measure of relative deprivation for small areas in Wales. The index was developed as a tool to identify and understand deprivation in Wales, so that funding, policy and programmes can be effectively focussed on the most disadvantaged communities. The latest index was published in 2011 and is based on Office for National Statistics (ONS) pre-2011 censal Lower Super Output Area boundaries which comprise 1,896 designated LSOAs across Wales and 94 LSOAs in Newport. The number of Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs) in the 2011 WIMD will therefore differ from the latest ONS post- censal 2011 LSOA boundaries which have increased as a result of population changes over the last decade. Overall the number of LSOAs in Wales has increased to 1,909 with Newport increasing to 95 LSOAs with the ward of Marshfield increasing from 3 to 4. An updated index will be published in November 2014 using up-to-date data and improved indicators based on lessons learned from the production of previous indexes. The annual profile update in 2015 will reflect these changes The index is produced as a set of ranks with eight specific defined types of deprivation or domains (below). A rank of 1 assigned to the most deprived area and a rank of 1,896 assigned to the least deprived area. The domains comprise a series of underlying indicators, which are directly measurable and are designed to assist in the identification of key priority areas. A summary of the domains and underlying indicators is detailed below:

Income Employment Health Education % of population in receipt of % of working age  All cause death rate  Key Stage 2 point score averages income related benefits population in receipt of  Cancer incidence  Key Stage 3 point score averages employment related  Limiting long-term illness  Key Stage 4 point score averages benefits  Low birth weight  Secondary school absence rates  Primary school absence rates  % 18-19 year olds not entering HE  % 25-59/64 year olds with no qualifications Geographical Access to Housing Physical Environment Community Safety Services Journey time to:  Over-crowding  Air quality  Adult offenders  Food shop  Central heating  Air emissions  Youth offenders  Dentist  Flood risk  Police recorded crime rates for violent crime  GP  Proximity to waste and  Criminal damage, burglary, theft  Post office industrial sites  Library  Leisure centre  Primary school  Secondary school  Transport node

WIMD is suited to uses where the interest is in areas with high concentrations of deprivation. It is used to:

 give an overall unique WIMD deprivation rank for each of the 1,896 LSOAs in Wales;

 give a rank for the separate deprivation domains for each of the LSOAs which in some cases will not be unique;

 compare the deprivation ranks for two or more of the LSOAs;

 compare two or more local authorities (or other groups of LSOAs) by looking at the proportion of the LSOAs in the local authority as the most deprived (say) ten per cent in all of Wales.

Newport Ward Overview Profile 2014 Page 35 The index is constructed from a weighted score for each domain. The weights reflect the importance of the domain as an aspect of deprivation, and the quality of the indicators available for that domain. The domains and their weights for WIMD are:

Income 23.5% Geographical Access to Services 10.0%

Employment 23.5% Community Safety 5.0%

Health 14.0% Physical Environment 5.0%

Education 14.0% Housing 5.0%

Understanding how disadvantaged people are distributed through Wales is important when developing area‐based policies, programmes and funding. The simplest use of WIMD is to identify the areas of greatest deprivation using the Index ranks. For example, the most deprived 10% of areas in Wales are those ranked 1 – 190 (inclusive). However, it should be understood that not all deprived people live in the most‐deprived areas. Around 1 in 5 of the people in income‐benefits households live in the most‐deprived 10% of areas in Wales. This means that, although it is true to say that deprivation is much more concentrated in some areas than others, 4 out 5 people in income‐benefits households live outside these areas, and this should be borne in mind when developing policy. The Index is most useful if it is used in conjunction with other information, either from the Index indicators, other published data, or local information. Contextual information could include: the location of existing programmes or services; the number of people affected by a particular aspect of deprivation, for example, the number in receipt of benefits, or the number affected by a particular health issue; broadband access, and so on. Exploring the indicators and using additional information will ensure that the challenges in individual areas can be understood.

Making UK Comparisons England, Scotland and Northern Ireland all produce their own indexes of multiple deprivation. However, these are not directly comparable because:  they are produced for different geographies; there is no suitable small area geography which is consistent across the four nations;  there are differences between the indicators. Not all data is collected consistently across the UK. For example, the justice and education systems for Scotland are different from England and Wales, so many crime and education indicators are not comparable;

 the Indexes have developed according to the policy drivers in each of the countries. As devolution has evolved, these differences have grown;

 the Indexes are produced on different timescales, so they do not tend to refer to the same year of data across the UK. Again, this is often driven by different policy requirements in the different countries. However, users often want to compare deprivation across the UK, for example, to allocate funding. The Four Nations have therefore worked together with the ONS to produce a paper which outlines several approaches to doing this. The guidance paper UK indices of multiple deprivation - a way to make comparisons across constituent countries easier can be found on the ONS website.

* The number of LSOAs in Newport has increased to 95 following the 2011 Census of Population and Households. The WIMD 2011 was published prior to the Census 2011 results in July 2012 and therefore reflects pre-censal LSOA numbers. An updated index will be published in November 2014 using more up-to-date data and improved indicators based on lessons learned from the production of previous Indexes. The annual profile update in 2015 will reflect these changes.

The Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation identifies a total of 15 Lower Super Output Areas which rank in the top 10% most deprived areas in Wales.

Note: The WIMD Rank gives an overall unique deprivation rank constructed from a weighted score for each domain for each of the 1,896 designated LSOAs in Wales. A rank of 1 is assigned for the most deprived area and a rank of 1,896 for the least deprived area. The weights reflect the importance of the domain as an aspect of deprivation, and the quality of the indicators available for that domain. The WIMD Domain Rank gives a non-unique deprivation rank for each of the 1,896 designated Lower Super Output Areas in Wales. A rank of 1 for the most deprived area and a rank of 1,896 for the least deprived area. Further information on the domains and their weightings is provided at the beginning of the section. The thematic map identifies the Lower Super Output Areas across Newport based on their overall WIMD Rank in terms of percentage most deprived:

The Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation domain indicator for Health identifies a number of variations across Newport. A summary of the most and least deprived areas is included in the table below:

LSOA Name Health - WIMD Rank LSOA Name Health - WIMD Rank Top 10% Most Deprived in Wales Top 4% Least Deprived in Wales Pillgwenlly 1 47 Langstone 3 1887 Pillgwenlly 4 60 Langstone 2 1878 Alway 2 111 Rogerstone 1 1874 Pillgwenlly 3 114 Graig 4 1867 Tredegar Park 2 171

In the 2011 Census the percentage of people who reported their health as being bad or very bad was 7.4% - below the Wales average of 7.6%. The following datasets have been produced by NHS Wales Informatics Service (NWIS). The figures may differ slightly to those published on Health Maps Wales due to subsequent updates and in addition to those published by the Welsh Government due to rounding. The population figures have been derived from ward level mid-year estimates supplied by ONS. It should be noted that population estimates for electoral wards for mid-2002 to mid-2010 have been revised following the 2011 Census (Nov 2013 revision). The following data and thematic maps show the Ward overview for a number of key health issues.

Low Birth Weights:

The number of live births per 1,000 that are Birth weight under 2500g under 2,500g have decreased from 83.8 in per 1000 live births 2004-06 to 71.0 in 2010-12. This rate is now 90 80 comparable to the Wales average which has 70 also reduced from 70.7 to 69.9. 60 Low birth weight babies are at greater risk of 50 problems occurring during and after birth, as 40 30 well as at greater risk of chronic disease in 1 20 adulthood . The evidence of the link 10 between low birth weight and poor lifestyle 0 2004-06 2007-09 2010-12 during pregnancy is strong. Newport 83.8 80.5 71.0 Specifically, low birth weight is associated Wales 70.7 68.9 69.9 with poor maternal general health, a low level of education, poor nutrition, alcohol consumption and smoking both pre-conceptually and during pregnancy2. There is evidence that poor maternal nutritional status at conception and inadequate maternal nutrition during pregnancy can result in low birth weight3. However, smoking is the major modifiable risk factor contributing to low birth weight. Babies born to women who smoke weigh on average 200g less than babies born to non-smokers.

1 National Public Health Service (NPHS), 2006 2 National Public Health Service (NPHS), 2006 Newport Ward Overview Profile 2014 Page 42 The incidence of low birth weight is twice as high among smokers as non-smokers4. Smoking cessation in pregnancy is strongly affected by socio-economic status, with women of lower education, income and employment status far more likely to continue smoking than women from higher socio economic status groups5. Other lifestyle choices of the mother linked to low birth weight also include their choice of diet, substance misuse including alcohol consumption during pregnancy.

Alcohol Specific Hospital Admissions:

The number of hospital admissions Alcohol Specific Hospital Admissions European age standardised per 100 000 population specifically due to alcohol per 100,000 population have increased from 495.5 in 700 2004-6 to 623.9 in 2010-12.

Newport Ward Overview Profile 2014 Page 47 Education

The educational attainment of children and young people must be seen within the broader context of the family, community and wider environment. The link between deprivation, low aspiration and poor educational attainment is well documented. Whilst the role of schools is pivotal in improving standards of attainment a holistic view should be taken when attempting to identify the root causes of relatively poor attainment and developing solutions. Lack of basic skills, low levels of aspiration and engagement and intergenerational worklessness are societal and not educational issues.

The Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation identifies 15 of Newport’s Lower Super Output Areas whose domain rank as being within the top 10% most deprived areas in terms of education in Wales.

The following data graphs show the trend in performance against a range of educational measures. These should not be taken in isolation and are often symptomatic of wider environmental, societal and economic factors and as such, should be read in conjunction with other data provided within this and the accompanying ward profiles.

They do, however, enable the focusing of resources where there is greatest need and provide opportunity to measure the impact of these interventions. The key points are highlighted below and further information can be obtained from My Local School – website (http://mylocalschool.wales.gov.uk).

Please note that in some instances the included statistics reflect the availability of the published data to 2013 only with subsequent releases scheduled for Nov 2014 which will be included in the 2015 profile refresh. Local Authority Education Services for Children and Young People Self Evaluation Annually the Local Authority and its partners undertake a self-evaluation process to identify good practice and areas for improvement within the context of educational services and support for children and young people. This is undertaken against the following criteria: Key Question 1: How good are outcomes? Key Question 2: How good is provision? Key Question 3: How good are leadership and management? The data and analysis within this and the accompanying ward profiles should be read in conjunction with the evaluative commentary within the Self Evaluation.

The following analysis is based on data extracted by Children and Adult Services in July 2014.

Child Service Users:

Newport Ward Overview Profile 2014 Page 70 Appendix A – Definitions and Standards: Open Space and Accessible Natural Greenspace

What is Open Space Provision?

The Council’s adopted minimum standard of 2.4 hectares per 1,000 population for open space, sport and recreation is derived from the the FIT (Field In Trust) minimum ‘Benchmark Standards’ for outdoor sport and play. This is the only nationally based standard provided for outdoor sport and play space and is therefore still recommended as best practice. The FIT standard represents a minimum level of provision and should be sought as such throughout Newport in both urban and rural areas. Outdoor playing space refers to land for sport, recreation and children’s play and comprises the following:

Outdoor Sport – 1.6 Hectares Informal Playing Space – 0.55 Hectares Designated Equipped Children’s Playing Space – 0.25 Hectares Land for inclusion under this part of the Land for inclusion under this part of the Land for inclusion under this part of the standard comprises: standard comprises: standard comprises:

 Facilities such as pitches, greens, courts,  Casual or informal playing space within  Designated areas for children and young athletics tracks and miscellaneous sites housing areas people containing a range of facilities and such as croquet lawns and training areas an environment that has been designated to provide focused opportunities for  Facilities described within the education outdoor play sector which are available for public use  Facilities within the voluntary, private, industrial and commercial sectors, which serve the leisure time needs for outdoor recreation of their members or public

These standards are again derived from FIT guidance and are set accordingly for each type of provision:

Type Accessibility Standard (Distance in metres) Outdoor Sport 1,200m

Informal Playing Space 400m

Designated Equipped Playing Space: Walking distance for Local Equipped Areas of Play (LEAP) 400m Walking distance for Neighbourhood Equipped Areas of Play (NEAP) 1000m

What is natural greenspace? Natural Resource Wales (NRW) believes that accessible natural greenspaces has an important contribution to make to the quality of the environment and life in urban areas. Such sites are valued by the community, provide important refuges for wildlife in otherwise impoverished areas and are beneficial to public health and wellbeing. Accessible Natural Greenspace Standards are an approach to promote experience of nature for urban residents. ‘Natural’ is understood as a particular quality which greenspaces can offer. Natural areas, in this sense, are places where greenspace structure and quality of management combine to support a diverse or distinctive flora and fauna which otherwise might not be encountered in the built environment. Urban areas can comprise a large range of greenspaces, such as public parks and gardens, playing fields, derelict land, greenspace on institutions and private greenspace, but also woodlands, wetlands, farmland on the fringe and coastal areas. All of these greenspaces can provide for the experience of nature depending on the existence and cover of features such as woods and groups of trees, extensively managed grasslands, wetland vegetation, and surface waters with broad margins where features such as reeds can develop.

Newport Ward Overview Profile 2014 Page 71 It is important to note that the concept of multifunctional greenspace whereby an area of managed parkland or playing fields could also be said to be natural, at least in part, if the appropriate criteria are met and sympathetic management is in place. The definition of natural greenspace includes:

 sites awaiting redevelopment which have been colonised by spontaneous assemblages of plants and animals;

 land alongside water-ways, transport and service corridors which, although perhaps once deliberately landscaped or planted are now mixtures of planted and spontaneous assemblages;  tracts of 'encapsulated countryside' such as woodlands, scrub, heathlands, meadows and marshes which, through appropriate management, continue to support essentially wild plant and animal assemblages. Often these natural areas exist within the framework of formally designated public open space;

 ponds, ditches, rivers, lakes and reservoirs;  the less intensively managed parts of parks, school grounds, sports pitches, golf courses, churchyards and cemeteries;

 incidental pocket-sized plots along residential and commercial roads, pathways, car parks and property boundaries, including walls and built structures which are often spontaneously colonised by plants and animals; and

 allotments, orchards and gardens.
