Oxford Consultants for Social Inclusion
What Oxfordshire County Council means by Social Inclusion Social inclusion is the process by which efforts are made to ensure that everyone, regardless of their experiences and circumstances, can achieve their potential in life. To achieve inclusion income and employment are necessary but not sufficient. An inclusive society is also characterised by a striving for reduced inequality, a balance between individuals' rights and duties and increased social cohesion. (Oxfordshire County Council Social Inclusion Strategy, October 2004)

About Oxford Consultants for Social Inclusion Oxford Consultants for Social Inclusion (OCSI), Oxford University’s first spin-out company from the Social Sciences, was launched in October 2003 to help local government and other public sector organisations identify deprived neighbourhoods, target resources, evaluate programme effectiveness and strengthen regeneration bids.
OCSI’s consultancy is based on nearly two decades of ground-breaking research at the Social Disadvantage Research Centre (SDRC) in the University’s Department of Social Policy and Social Work. The SDRC is a world leader in area-based deprivation research, developing the National Indices of Deprivation for England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland.
OCSI produces reports specifically designed to give up to date and detailed information about your area, providing you with a comprehensive analysis of deprivation and social exclusion. OCSI reports allow you to compare within your local area on a number of essential indicators, and to make wider comparisons between your area and other similar areas, your Government Office Region and England as a whole.

Summary
This Oxfordshire in Detail summary report uses key social exclusion information to investigate patterns of deprivation across the county, and how Oxfordshire compares with the broader context across England as a whole. The key findings are presented in this report, together with a summary People Centred Impact Assessment Profile presented for ten fictional individuals.
The full Oxfordshire in Detail report is also available, with detailed analysis of Oxfordshire across ten key themes – population structure; people out of work; people living on a low income; children living in low income households; health, sickness and disability; education and skills; housing and households; crime and disorder; Indices of Deprivation 2004; and other information. In addition, a more detailed People Centred Impact Assessment toolkit is also available, looking at the experiences of social inclusion from the perspective of 10 fictional households.
The report is based on the most recent information available, including data from the Indices of Deprivation 2004, 2001 Census, Department for Work and Pensions benefits from 2002-3, and DfES Pupil Level Annual School Census from 2004.
The Oxfordshire in Detail report key findings are:
• Oxfordshire shows low levels of social exclusion compared with England as a whole • There are areas across Oxfordshire with significantly higher levels of social exclusion than the county and England as a whole

People Centred Impact Assessment Profiles: People in Oxfordshire
In this section we show the experiences of ten fictional individuals across the county, showing how they are at risk from different forms of social exclusion. The figures shown are for Oxfordshire as a whole.
Figures and maps from the full Oxfordshire in Detail report are used to illustrate additional relevant information in each case. For further details and analysis please see the full report.
In addition, a more detailed People Centred Impact Assessment toolkit is also available from Adrian Harper-Smith, Corporate Strategies Manager, Chief Executives Office, Oxfordshire County Council, County Hall, Oxford OX1 1ND.

1. John is 52 years old, single and unemployed. He lives in the centre of Oxford in a private rented 1-bed flat, and suffers from depression and alcohol misuse. John is …
• One of 3,625 people in receipt of Jobseeker’s Allowance across the county • One of 36,944 people in “not good health” • One of 154,054 people who are single (never married) • One of 434 unemployed males aged 50-54 • One of 325 unemployed males in “not good health” • Living in one of 34,162 single person (non-pensioner) households
As unemployed, chances are …
• One in five John is one of the 1,780 long-term unemployed • One in twenty John is one of the 433 people who have never worked
Being out of work can have a severe impact on an individual’s quality of life – both in terms of the economic implications and in terms of the wider social exclusion implications. The impacts will be felt not only by the individual, but also by partners and dependent children.
The full Oxfordshire in Detail report uses out of work benefits as a measure of worklessness, the proportion of people out of work through either unemployment or sickness. People in receipt of unemployment benefits (Jobseekers Allowance) are described as ‘workless through unemployment’, while those in receipt of sickness benefits (Incapacity Benefit or Severe Disablement Allowance), are described as ‘workless through sickness’.

Map 1 above (page 11) shows the worklessness rate for each ward in Oxfordshire for 2001. The ten colour coded intervals represent deciles and are based on the distribution across England as a whole. Therefore, those wards in Map 1 that are coloured the darkest shade of blue are in the ‘top’ 10% of wards across England in terms of total worklessness (i.e. with the highest proportions of people out of work through unemployment or sickness).
Map 2 below (page 13) shows the same worklessness rate as in Map 1, but with the ten colour coded intervals based on the distribution across Oxfordshire. Therefore, those wards in Map 2 that are coloured the darkest shade of blue are in the ‘top’ 10% of wards across Oxfordshire in terms of total worklessness (i.e. with the highest proportions of people out of work through unemployment or sickness). This allows us to see the patterns within the county, where Map 1 enables us to view the county in the broader context of worklessness across England.

Crime and fear of crime feature regularly as key issues afflicting individuals and communities. Crime can have a detrimental impact upon people’s quality of life in a number of ways: individuals can be physically victimised (e.g. assaulted), materially victimised (e.g. burgled), or psychologically victimised (e.g. afraid to leave the house or walk alone after dark). The negative effects of crime are not just restricted to those individuals who are personally victimised, but also transfer to friends, family, neighbours and colleagues.

Health is a fundamental determinant of quality of life, having a direct impact on an individual’s ability to live a fulfilling and enjoyable life and also indirectly impacting their ability to sustain standards of living through income. Ill health may also have a severe effect on other people, either directly through changing relationships (for example forcing people into informal unpaid care), or through indirect effects such as change in household income.
The full report uses a number of indicators to analyse the situation of health across the county. These include information on benefits payable to those with various health needs, self-reports of ill health from the Census, and the Health domain score from the ODPM Indices of Deprivation 2004.

Children are particularly vulnerable to deprivation and social exclusion. They are not eligible for social security in their own right but are reliant on the financial support of their parent(s) and/or carer(s). The full Oxfordshire in Detail report uses information on families receiving means-tested out of work benefits (Income Support and income based Job Seekers Allowance). Although children under the age of 16 are ineligible for such benefits, parents claim these benefits for themselves and their dependent children. It is therefore possible to look at the number of dependent children living in households on low income.

Improving the level of education and skills present within a local population remains an important policy objective for both local and central government. The task of implementing initiatives to improve life-long learning and enhance individual development (and employability) represents a significant and essential challenge for local authorities.
The full report presents and analyses DfES information for pupil attainment and disadvantage, Census 2001 indicators on proportion of students and adults with no qualifications, as well as information on the number and proportion of pupils staying on at school.

Information on housing and households helps identify areas where people may be at risk of social exclusion, due to the type and condition of their housing or their household structure. The 2001 Census provides key information on a number of indicators at small area level relating to housing and households in Oxfordshire. Key indicators include the proportion of socially rented housing, overcrowded households, and households lacking basic amenities.

People living on a low income are among the most deprived groups in society. A person or household living on a low income may be out of work, or in work but on low pay. The full report uses means-tested out of work benefits (Income Support and Income Based Jobseekers Allowance) as a measure of low income – people in receipt of these benefits are described as being ‘income deprived’ or ‘living on a low income’.

People from minority ethnic groups are known to be particularly vulnerable to social exclusion (other groups known to be similarly vulnerable are young children and the elderly). Knowing the population size and structure across the county is important in identifying areas with relatively high proportions of individuals and/or families potentially at risk of social exclusion.

Wards, Census Output Areas and Super Output Areas
In total, there are 137 wards, 404 Super Output Areas and 1,977 Output Areas in Oxfordshire. Output Areas and Super Output Areas are new statistical geographies below ward level created for the purpose of presenting 2001 Census results. They are useful for identifying pockets of deprivation and social exclusion that may be averaged out over large wards. An Output Area typically contains around 300 people. A Super Output Area is a cluster of Output Areas and typically contains around 1,500 people.
