The value of the Suffolk Pension Fund was £2.762 billion at 31 March 2018, which was an increase of £114m in the year. The Fund administers the local government pension scheme in Suffolk on behalf of 262 separate employers and just over 60,000 scheme members. The Pension Fund Committee is responsible for managing the Fund, with the assistance of council officers, external advisors and professional investment managers. Council elections brought some changes to the Pension Fund Committee and I would like to extend my thanks to all the members of the Committee for their service to the Pension Fund during the year. The Fund achieved an investment return of 4% in 2017-18, which was 0.8% lower than the benchmark return for the mix of asset classes in which the Fund invests.

Demographic Profile: Age & Ethnicity . Economy and Labour Market . Schools & NEET . Index of Multiple Deprivation . Health . Crime & Community Safety . Additional Information . Data Sources 3 ELECTORAL DIVISION PROFILES: AN INTRODUCTION These profiles have been produced to support elected members, constituents and other interested parties in understanding the demographic, economic, social and educational profile of their neighbourhoods. We have used the latest data available at the time of publication. Much more data is available from national and local sources than is captured here, but it is hoped that the profile will be a useful starting point for discussion, where local knowledge and experience can be used to flesh out and illuminate the information presented here. The profile can be used to help look at some fundamental questions e.g. Does the age profile of the population match or differ from the national profile? . Is there evidence of the ageing profile of the county in all the wards in the Division or just some? . How diverse is the community in terms of ethnicity? . What is the impact of deprivation on families and residents? . Does there seem to be a link between deprivation and school performance? . What is the breakdown of employment sectors in the area? . Is it a relatively healthy area compared to the rest of the district or county? . What sort of crime is prevalent in the community? A vast amount of additional data is available on the Suffolk Observatory www.suffolkobservatory.info The Suffolk Observatory is a free online resource that contains all Suffolk’s vital statistics; it is the one‐stop‐shop for information and intelligence about Suffolk.

The end of the financial year coincided with the exceptional occurrence of the Coronavirus. The financial markets reacted to the economic impact of the pandemic containment measures implemented world-wide and this has affected the results reported at the end of the financial year. During the financial year the Fund value increased appreciably, which in part, helped to offset the market downturn in March when global stocks saw a downturn of at least 25% in most of the developed nations markets. The value of the Suffolk Pension Fund was £2.808 billion at 31 March 2020, which was a decrease of £123 million from the previous year. The Fund had an investment return of -4.5% in 2019-20. Over five years the annual return has been 4.7% per annum, and over ten years 6.8%.

  • Primary Mental Health Workers (PMHW’S)
    Primary Mental Health Workers (PMHW’s) Background A number of additional Primary Mental Health Worker (PMHW) posts have been funded by the Suffolk CCG’s during the course of 2014/15. These are supplementing the PMHW existing roles the primary function of which is to interface with GPs, Children & Young People Integrated Teams and education establishments. The role involves offering consultation & sign-posting to professionals, targeted training, attendance at multi-agency meetings (i.e. Team Around Child) and short time-limited interventions. One of the new posts has been designated to be based in the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) at Landmark House and will support professional decision making and onward referral into appropriate services for children and young people that are displaying emotional, psychological and mental health issues. Who is the It is a preventative service that offers advice, consultation and training for service for? professionals who are supporting children, young people and their families with joint assessment and some direct interventions for those children and young people who are experiencing mild to moderate mental health difficulties with associated low levels of risk. The PMHW Service is for children and young people up to the age of 18 years (in exceptional cases to 25yrs). The service is for children and young people with emotional, psychological, and mental health needs who require access to either brief individual support or an evidenced based programme of interventions for children, young people, parents and carers. Each practice has an allocated PMWH. If the situation is more urgent, and the nature of the child or young person's mental health symptoms are more acute and carry greater risks, then a referral to the Access and Assessment Service should be made.
