A profile of needs and services about children, young people and their families

In the Denton, Droylsden & Audenshaw area of Tameside

December 2007

1 Denton, Droylsden & Audenshaw: Profile of need and services

Introduction

This is a selective statistical profile of needs and services in the Denton, Droylsden & Audenshaw area – one of four areas chosen as a basis from which future integrated services for children, young people and families will be delivered. The other areas are Stalybridge, Mossley & Dukinfield; Hyde, Hattersley & Longdendale 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.

For completeness sake, the total 0-19 population in Tameside is estimated at 55,175. This is 1,974 additional 18 and 19 year olds in the Denton, Droylsden & Audenshaw area.

The uneven spread of population by area is explained by the presence of greater or lesser number of electoral wards in each area. Expressed in percentages this shows

Total 0-17 % Hyde, Hattersley & Longdendale (4 wards) 10,612 21.67 Ashton (4 wards) 11,051 22.56 Stalybridge, Mossley & Dukinfield (5 wards) 12,600 25.72 Denton, Droylsden & Audenshaw (6 wards) 14,718 30.05

Denton, Droylsden & Audenshaw also has a greater number of primary and secondary schools than other areas.

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

2 The Index has been constructed by the Index Team at Oxford University for the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. The data show information taken from the ward level Indices of Deprivation and the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2000 ('IMD 2000'). The six Domain Indices are:

o Income o Employment o Health Deprivation and Disability o Education, Skills and Training o Housing o Geographical Access to Services o A Child Poverty Index is also presented, which is a sub-set of the Income Domain See http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/

3 Super Output Areas are an amalgamation of the Census Output Areas used to publish results from the 2001 Census. The ones used for the Indices of Deprivation are Lower Layer Super Output Areas, with a population of about 1500 each. There are 141 of them in Tameside, and 32,482 in England as a whole.

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 ranked4 data table by ward with the four areas colour coded:

Children in families receiving workless benefits

The Joseph Rowntree Foundation5 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 pattern6 :

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.

37 Regeneration profiles

The area has within it two further areas subject to regeneration activities

These are:

• Denton South (see profile above and at

http://www.tameside.gov.uk/census/regenprofiles/regensnap.htm) and

• Droylsden East (see profile above and at

http://www.tameside.gov.uk/census/wardprofiles/wardsnap.htm)

These areas (along with other areas in the borough – St. Peters, Smallshaw, Ridge Hill, Newton and Hattersley) are based around the most disadvantaged communities in Tameside where issues related to health, unemployment, low educational attainment and crime are disproportionately higher than elsewhere in the Borough. The Regeneration Programme in each neighbourhood is overseen by a multi-agency Partnership Board with strong resident involvement. 8

Issues and resources relating to children and young people feature in both these programme planning.

8 Council lead contacts are Sarah Kew ([email protected]) for Denton South and Caroline Wilkinson for Droylsden East ([email protected])

6: Childcare provision: summary

The Council produces each year an assessment of childcare need and sufficiency. The last (2006) assessment is available at The First Assessment of Childcare Need and Sufficiency - Spring 2006. Data is also available by each area. Summary data14 shows the current position for Denton, Droylsden & Audenshaw as:

The childcare summary for Denton, Droylsden & Audenshaw offers the following observations:

14 The First Assessment of Childcare Need and Sufficiency - Spring 2006. page 18 to 22

42 A. Childminders

There are 157 registered childminders within the 6 wards in this area, however at the time of data collection 22 are not currently childminding, 2 were on maternity leave, 1 will be emigrating, 2 are due to close, 1 only offers weekend care and 7 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 157 122 Total 0-5 places 415 331 Total 5-8 places 370 298 % of 0-5 FTE vacancies 19% 24% % of 5-8 FTE vacancies 23% 29%

Of the 508 children currently attending childminders in this area 84% are from the local area. All 6 wards are consistent with the higher percentage of vacant places being available for the 5 - 8 age group.

B. Day Nurseries

73% of children attending are from the local area, which is consistent with all other areas in Tameside. 12% of children on the day nursery registers are from outside the borough.

All 6 wards in this area have day nursery provision, 3 wards have 1 setting, 2 have 2 settings and 1 ward has 3 settings.

Consistent with all areas of Tameside, the majority of vacancies are for children aged 3 – 5 years whilst the smallest number of vacancies is available for children under 12 months of age.

C. Playgroups/PreSchool

All wards have Playgroup/Pre-School provision providing both morning and afternoon sessions. 3 of the wards have 1 setting, 2 have 2 settings and 1 ward has 3 registered settings.

Of the children currently accessing Playgroups/Pre-Schools in the area 80% are from the local area with 17% travelling from outside the borough to access sessions. This figure is quite high but as some of the groups are situated on the borders of Tameside this should be expected.

Only 1 of the 6 wards can not currently offer any vacant places, 1 ward has 2 sessions available, 1 can offer afternoon sessions only whilst the other 3 wards can offer both AM and PM vacancies.

There is a total of 164 children on waiting lists for Playgroups/Pre-Schools in this area, however many of the children on the waiting lists are not old enough to attend Playgroup/Pre-School yet and would be offered a place shortly after turning 2 - 2½ years of age depending on the individual Playgroup/Pre- School.

43 D. Out of School Clubs

There are 21 Primary Schools in this area with 20 of them having access to some form of Out of School care.

14 have care available on school site, 1 has access to a club run on school premises and 5 have access to a club run by a private provider not on the school site. Only 1 school in this area does not currently have access to out of school care provided by a club.

5 of the 6 wards have holiday club provision available and 19% of places are currently vacant. Holiday care places should increase as a club in 1 of the wards will be piloting holiday care during February half-term and will continue to operate during the holidays if successful. 1 of the wards has a holiday club registered for 45 places, but is currently only able to offer 8 places due to problems recruiting staff, this will hopefully be resolved in the near future and the full 45 places can then be advertised and promoted to parents.

85% of children using out of school care are from the local area whilst 9% of children reside outside the borough.

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.

Section 2: Additional services

By additional services we mean those services provided to children who require additional support. These include services at levels 2, 3, 4 and 5 on the Tameside children need framework15 .

This section does not include centrally organised services such as CAMHS, Inclusive Services and hospital services to children.
