Selected population data for Dukinfield, Stalybridge & Mossley Dukinfield, Stalybridge & Mossley : Profile of need and services

Introduction

This is a selective statistical profile of needs and services in the Dukinfield, Stalybridge & Mossley area, one of four areas chosen as a basis from which future integrated services for children, young peopleand families will be delivered. The other areas are Denton, Droylsden & Audenshaw; Hyde, Hattersley & Longendale and Ashton under Lyne. Companion profiles of these other areas are also available.

This profile has a focus on data that has relevance to children and families rather than other community members (e.g. older people). The data selected is not exhaustive; rather, key indicators of need are selected to help produce an overall picture of need in the area and offer some comparisons between different localities (mainly wards) within the area. Some commentary is provided as appropriate.

It is expected that the profile will aid planning and delivery of services.

The profile has two parts: Part 1 focuses on the presentation of basic need data whilst Part 2 focuses on services. Part 1: Basic need data

Population

The table and graph below shows the 0-17 population across Tameside by area (including electoral wards) and is provided for comparison purposes. The data has been supplied from the PCT Nov 07.

Total 0-17 % Hyde, Hattersley & 21.67 Longdendale 10612 Ashton 11051 22.56 Stalybridge, Mossley & Dukinfield 12600 25.72 Denton, Droylsden & Audenshaw 14718 30.05 Totals 48981 100.00

The uneven spread of population by area is explained by the presence of greater or lesser number of electoral wards in each area. This is also reflected in the spread of schools across Tameside (see Part 2).

There are 5 wards in the Dukinfield,Stalybridge & Mossley area

• Dukinfield • Dukinfield/Stalybridge • Stalybridge North • Stalybridge South • Mossley

Appendix 1 provides the population estimates based on child benefit claims. This shows an estimate of 15,672 children and young people and an estimated 9,230 families.

Appendix 2 shows the breakdown for each age and ward area as at Nov 07

Index of Multiple Deprivation

The table below offers a useful summary of the relative position of different areas (Super output areas 1 (or SOAs), old and new ward (boundaries were changed in 2003) and District Assemblies) of disadvantage in Tameside. Data source Tameside policy unit 2004.

Child Poverty Index

In 2000 the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister also produced a sub-set of the multiple index of deprivation for child poverty.

This shows the following ranked2 data table by ward with the four areas colour coded:

Child Child Index of Index of Poverty Poverty Multiple Multiple Index Index Deprivation Deprivation Score Rank Score Rank Ashton St. Peters' 55.45 641 58.05 306 Hyde Godley 54.06 724 52.92 467 Denton South 50.53 951 41.47 1023 Longdendale 47.26 1185 42.55 960 Ashton Hurst 44.82 1406 37.33 1312 Hyde Newton 44.41 1436 39.83 1131 Stalybridge North 43.73 1502 35.54 1448

Children in families receiving workless benefits

The Joseph Rowntree Foundation3 has recently produced (2006) a composite study of children living in families receiving workless benefits (i.e. Income Support, Job Seekers Allowance, Incapacity Benefit, Severe Disablement Allowance or Pension Credit) based on 2005 data. This is a very useful and the most recently available proxy indicator of children who may be living in poverty.

The national average percentage of children age 0-15 who are dependent of workless benefits is 21%; in Tameside the average is 23.39%. Across Tameside wards the number and percentage of children 0­ 15 when ranked (most children first) shows the following pattern4 :

Children Children dependent on % 0-15 dependent on receiving Child Ward Name workless benefits workless benefits April Benefit 0-15 April Aged 0-15 April 2005 2005 2005 Ashton St. Peters' 865 2355 36.73% Longdendale 565 1885 29.97% Hyde Newton 770 2600 29.62% Hyde Godley 735 2530 29.05% Denton South 595 2080 28.61% Ashton Hurst 740 2605 28.41% Ashton St. Michael's 640 2320 27.59% Stalybridge North 675 2495 27.05% Dukinfield 650 2700 24.07% Tameside 10,370 44,000 23.39% Ashton Waterloo 500 2240 22.32% Droylsden West 485 2310 21.00% Stalybridge South 450 2260 19.91%

This data is reproduced on a graph on the next page.

If this data is aggregated across the 4 areas it shows the following ranked pattern

Ashton (4 wards) 2745 Denton, Droylsden & Audenshaw (6 wards) 2735 Hyde, Hattersley & Longdendale (4 wards) 2500 Stalybridge, Mossley & Dukinfield (5 wards) 2390

The data does signify greater concentrations of poverty in particular areas.

This is evidenced better in the table below when we divide the area totals above by the number of wards in each area and rank this (most children first) accordingly:

Number of children Area dependent on benefits per ward in the area Ashton 684 Hyde, Hattersley & Longdendale 686 Stalybridge, Mossley & Dukinfield 500 Denton, Droylsden & Audenshaw 398

This index, although not the only index available, probably represents the best distribution of relative disadvantage and poverty amongst children across the four areas. % 0-15 dependent on receiving workless benefits April 2005 Tameside

40 A. Childminders

There are 131 registered childminders within the 5 wards in this area, however at the time of data collection 6 were on maternity leave, 3 are due to close, 1 will be emigrating, 1 is retiring, 5 are not currently childminding and a further 9 did not respond to the questionnaire.

Revised figures to reflect this reduction are:

Revised childminder places and vacancy percentages 2006 Figures Revised Figures

Total Number of Childminders 131 106 Total 0-5 places 335 275 Total 5-8 places 274 233 % of 0-5 FTE vacancies 15% 19% % of 5-8 FTE vacancies 20% 24%

Of the 403 children currently attending childminders in this area 87% are from the local area. 4 of the 5 wards have a higher percentage of 5-8 places available whilst 1 ward has a higher percentage of 0-5 places vacant.

B. Day Nurseries

72% of children attending are from the local area, which is consistent with all other areas in Tameside. 15% of children on the day nursery registers are from outside the borough.

There are currently 7 day nurseries in this area, 3 of the wards have 2 nurseries, 1 ward has 1 setting and 1 was ward has no full day care provision provided by a day nursery.

The majority of full-time places available are from 1 ward, which has 53 full time places vacant, the other three wards offering day nursery provision have a combined total of 20 full time places vacant.

C. Playgroups/Pre­School

The majority of the Playgroups/Pre-Schools in this area offer morning sessions, only 1 of the 5 wards is currently offering afternoon places. 1 of the 5 wards does not have any Playgroup/Preschool provision.

Of the children currently accessing Playgroups/Pre-Schools in the area 86% are children who reside in the local area with only 2% of children travelling from outside the borough to access sessions.

41 Only 4% of places are currently vacant in this area, and these vacancies are available in 2 of the 5 wards. Playgroups/Playschools in 2 of the 5 wards are currently unable to offer any of their places sessional or full time.

There are currently 59 children on waiting lists for Playgroups/Pre-schools in the area, however many of the children on the waiting lists are not old enough to attend Playgroup/Preschool yet and would be offered a place shortly after turning 2-2½ years of age depending on the individual Playgroup/Pre-School.

D. Out of School Clubs

There are 23 Primary Schools in this area, including 1 infant and 1 junior school, 19 of these schools currently have access to some form of Out of School care.

10 have care available on school site, a further 3 have access to one of the 8 clubs on school sites, 6 have access to a club run by a private provider not on a school site and 4 do not have access to Out of School provided by a club.

4 of the 5 wards have registered holiday club places and there are currently 76 full time places vacant, which is 35% of all places. Many of the clubs operate a first come first served policy for holidays so it can be difficult to obtain an accurate figure for vacancies during term-time.

Of the 698 children currently attending Out of School (term time and holiday) 92% are from the local area, this is the highest percentage of all the sectors for local children.

This document also contains the executive summary from the annual assessment of the parental demand for childcare. The full document can be found at The First Assessment of Childcare Need and Sufficiency - Spring 2006.
