APPENDIX D BACKGROUND DOCUMENT: Pilot Areas: Data and reasons for selection
The following four divisions have been selected to pilot this project. The final pilot area(s) chosen will be a smaller, i.e. a Ward within these divisions or smaller area, depending on the size and partnership complexity within them:
. North Herts Rural . Waltham Cross . Vicarage Holywell . Hemel Hempstead St Pauls
The following provides key information about the areas and a summary of the reasons why they have been selected. Full data tables setting out key data for each Division are in appendix 1 of this document, with key datasets down to ward level in appendix 2.
1) NORTH HERTS RURAL (North Herts District)
Why this Division has been selected. Rural area Strong, active CVS keen to develop activity Multiple parish councils History of successful multi-agency working Data suggests population likely to want to get involved in volunteering Opportunity to test approach in area with low deprivation, low unemployment
Potential initial areas of focus o Better support and access to services for rural areas – e.g. through communications/publicity, via local community groups/parish councils etc o Addressing the challenges of an ageing population – potential isolation – e.g. support to set-up and promote befriending clubs, making use of local HCC assets such as libraries o Highways and road safety – e.g. linking interested communities to pilots within Highways to increase community involvement in highways works
SUMMARY: Local information, knowledge and data Key points Rated high on recent Residents Survey measure for taking part in voluntary activity over the past 12 months Strong combined CVS/VC in North Herts – who are keen to make links with East Herts to develop a model for rural volunteering Multiple parish councils Area too large to do anything targeted: will need to engage with partners to identify most suitable area within the division on which to focus Political make- Conservative County Councillor (Tony Hunter) up Local officer Engaged and active CVS keen to get involved in knowledge development work and would be a strong partner to
1
(from develop a good model of volunteering in rural areas Community District Council has strong community development Commissioning) team Excellent relationship between volunteer timebank and local communities Appetite to develop timebank volunteers to cover more rural areas and promote the benefits of volunteering North Herts CVS and East Herts and Broxbourne CVS have a good relationship and could work together to develop and support their rural communities HCC’s Community Wellbeing team have links in to this area through funding of the timebank History of successful multi-agency working in the area (strong Local Strategic Partnership) History of community involvement – were pioneers of the Police/Police and Crime Commissioner ‘Community speedwatch’ initiative Summary of Local level (North Herts Rural electoral division) additional data: Overall, the division has a lower level of health inequalities than the Hertfordshire and district averages. The division also has higher proportion of working age people and young people (under 16) than the district and county average. Significant mosaic group is ‘Rural solitude’; ‘reliant’ families not present at all in this division.
District level Population projections suggest that North Herts has among the fastest ageing populations in the county. It is estimated that, by 2021, 26.45% of people in the district will be over 65. This is second only to East Herts – the average for Hertfordshire is 22.4%. Health inequalities data suggests that North Herts is broadly in line with the Hertfordshire average across almost all indicators.
2) HEMEL HEMPSTEAD ST PAUL’S (Dacorum District)
Why this Division has been selected. Urban area Strong, active CVS keen to develop activity Strong Volunteer Centre Well established neighbourhood groups already in place History of successful multi-agency working Data suggests population likely to want to get involved in volunteering Opportunity to test approach in area with higher deprivation and unemployment
Potential initial areas of focus Preventative activities that focus on health inequalities – e.g. childhood obesity Emphasising the health and wellbeing benefits of volunteering to encourage groups with higher health risks to volunteer Coordinating and extending the work of existing neighbourhood groups 2
SUMMARY: Local information, knowledge and data Key points Strong VCS with a presence in the area Opportunity to test approach in area of higher deprivation No Town or Parish Council Political make- Liberal Democrat County Councillors (Ron Tindall) up Local officer Well established neighbourhood arrangements and knowledge forums already in place (from Comm Former ‘Take Part’ area and examples of successful Wellbeing) initiatives
Summary of Local level data (Adeyfield West and Highfield wards) additional data: The data suggests that Adeyfield has higher levels of health inequality than the district and county average. ‘Reliant families’ are a common Mosaic Group in this division Higher than average levels of deprivation (across income deprivation, child poverty and older people) and unemployment Higher than average % of pensioners living alone
District level data Population projections suggest that Dacorum’s ageing population is in line with the Hertfordshire average and is fifth highest out of the 10 districts/boroughs. It is also broadly in line with the county average for health inequalities.
3) VICARAGE HOLYWELL (Watford District)
Why this Division has been selected. Urban area Middling to high levels of deprivation Has a higher proportion of young people (16 or under) than the district or county average Watford & Three Rivers Trust based in local community (Holywell Community Centre) Watford General Hospital and Watford Football Club located in the division – possible partners Major infrastructure changes likely – Health Campus and Croxley Rail Link
Potential initial areas of focus Preventative activities that focus on health inequalities – e.g. childhood obesity Emphasising the health and wellbeing benefits of volunteering to encourage groups with higher health risks to volunteer Coordinating and extending the work of existing neighbourhood groups
3
Developing new and existing volunteering opportunities for young people (16 or under)
SUMMARY: Local information, knowledge and data Key points Rated high on recent Residents Survey measures for desire to be involved in local decisions Combined CVS/VC (Watford & Three Rivers Trust) Middling to high on levels of deprivation No parish or town council Political make- Labour County Councillor (Nigel Bell) up Local officer Significant resource is going in to Watford District to fund a knowledge range of projects. An example is the re-provision of lunch (from clubs (Watford & Three Rivers Trust now have the contract), Community with the aim of developing a more inclusive service better Commissioning) linked to their community. Work is also going on to develop the integrated discharge team based around Watford Hospital, with Herts Help working on the ground with a range of professionals. Summary of Local level additional data: Has a higher proportion of young people (16 or under) than the district or county average Significantly higher levels of older people living in deprivation, and higher levels of general unemployment than district and county average The Mosaic group ‘Reliant Families’ are three times more common in this division than in Hertfordshire as a whole Health indicators are broadly in line with or better than the district average – except for childhood obesity, which is worse
District level In the recent resident survey, Watford was 2nd out of the 10 districts for wanting to be more involved in local decisions. Watford has a higher proportion of working age people than the county average, and measures for health inequalities are significantly worse than Hertfordshire as a whole.
4) WALTHAM CROSS (Broxbourne District)
Why this Division has been selected. Urban area No Parish or Town Council Broxbourne and East Herts CVS / Volunteer Centre Broxbourne and East Herts Opportunity to test the approach in an area of relatively high deprivation Opportunity to test in an area where the data suggests a lack of willingness to get involved in volunteering
Potential initial areas of focus Preventative activities that focus on health inequalities – e.g. childhood obesity 4
Emphasising the health and wellbeing benefits of volunteering to encourage groups with higher health risks to volunteer
SUMMARY: Local information, knowledge and data Key points Rated low on recent Residents Survey measures for reported actual and potential volunteering taking place Strong Broxbourne and East Herts CVS and separate Volunteer Centre High levels of deprivation compared to county average No parish or town council Political make- Conservative County Councillor (Dee Hart) up Local officer Joint HCS and CCG project running in the area: ‘HomeFirst’ knowledge is an integrated health and care service that creates virtual (from wards with a range of professionals to ensure the needs of Community the elderly and frail members of the community are Commissioning) supported. The option of a ‘HomeFirst Plus’ service is currently being explored. There is little social housing available in the borough as a whole, which has created homelessness problems. Successful projects have been run in the past to address this issue. Has an area forum and older people’s consultation group coordinated by the Borough Council. Summary of Local level additional data: Proportion of young people achieving at least 5 A*-C GCSEs lower than district average and significantly lower than county average Significantly higher levels of older people living in deprivation, child poverty and general unemployment than district and county average The Mosaic group ‘Young Tenants, Social Housing’ are five times more common in this division than in Hertfordshire as a whole Higher proportion than the county average whose general health is bad or very bad Health indicators are broadly in line with the district average (although worse in the Waltham Cross district ward) Waltham Cross measured as significantly lower in terms of reported actual and potential volunteering taking place (from Residents Survey measures)
District level In the recent resident survey, Broxbourne scored poorly on questions about taking part in voluntary and community activities. Measures for health inequalities in Broxbourne are significantly worse than Hertfordshire as a whole.
