Locality Profiles Health and Wellbeing Children's Services Kettering Locality Profiles Health and Wellbeing Children's Services Kettering 1 | Children’s JSNA 2015 Update Published January 2015, next update January 2016 INTRODUCTION This locality profile expands on the findings of the main document and aims to build a localised picture of those clusters of indicators which require focus from the Council and partner agencies. Wherever possible, data has been extracted at locality level and comparison with the rest of the county, the region and England has been carried out. MAIN FINDINGS The areas in which Kettering performs very similarly to the national average are detailed below. The district has no indicators in which it performs worse than the national average or the rest of the county: Life expectancy at birth for females (third lowest in the county) School exclusions Under 18 conceptions Smoking at the time of delivery Excess weight in Reception and Year 6 pupils Alcohol specific hospital stays in under 18s (second highest rate in the county) Admissions to A&E due to self-harm in under 18s (second highest in the county) 2 | Children’s JSNA 2015 Update Published January 2015, next update January 2016 KETTERING OVERVIEW DEMOGRAPHY As a locality, a number of Kettering’s demographics conform with the Northamptonshire picture, particularly around household deprivation, occupational structure, qualifications and age. Kettering has a population of around 95,700, the second largest in the county, and the second highest number of households, although the average household size is second lowest in Northamptonshire. The area is predominantly White with a small BME population. Rather than spread evenly across a number of ethnic groups, over 50% fall within the Asian community. Kettering does not show significant signs of deprivation prevalent within the area. However unemployment is marginally higher than the county average, and earnings marginally lower. i Kettering Northamptonshire Population† 95,700 706,647 Expected Growth† (2012-37) 20.5% 19% Number of households* 39,700 287,700 Average household Size* 2.36 2.40 Gender† Male 49.1% 49.3% Female 50.9% 50.7% Ethnic Group* White 93.9% 91.5% Mixed 1.3% 2.1% Asian/Asian British 3.2% 3.6% Black/African/Caribbean Black British 1.0% 2. 5% Other 0.5% 0.4% 3 | Children’s JSNA 2015 Update Published January 2015, next update January 2016 CHILD POPULATION NORTHAMPTONSHIRE Total District Percentage of Estimated 0-18 Percent of Total population (ONS Total district District Population Northamptonshire 2013 mid year population that (May 2013) child population estimates) are children 0-18 Corby 15998 9.54% 64,212 24.91% Daventry 17630 10.51% 78,556 22.44% East Northamptonshire 20718 12.35% 87,969 23.55% Kettering 22686 13.52% 95,748 23.69% Northampton 52411 31.24% 216,739 24.18% South Northamptonshire 20042 11.95% 87,465 22.91% Wellingborough 18260 10.89% 87,465 20.88% Northamptonshire 167745 100% 706,647 23.74% Please note that for the following document comparisons will be based on the percentage of child population from the total of children in Northamptonshire. ii 4 | Children’s JSNA 2015 Update Published January 2015, next update January 2016 POPULATION GROWTH Kettering is expected to see a 20.5% growth in population over the next 25 years, third highest across the county after Corby and Northampton.iii 5 | Children’s JSNA 2015 Update Published January 2015, next update January 2016 LIFE EXPECTANCY Life expectancy at birth was similar in Kettering in 2010-2012 to the England, East Midlands and Northamptonshire averages for both males (79.2) and females (82.7).

  • In the Event That the PRL Panel Decide That a Referred
    Decision of PRL Panel regarding the appropriate points allocation following the cancellation of the Gallagher Premiership Rugby Match between Northampton Saints and Leicester Tigers. Date: Saturday 9th January 2020 Panel: Andy Higginson (PRL Chairman) Darren Childs (PRL CEO) Phil Winstanley (PRL Rugby Director) Summary of Panel’s Decision 1. As a result of Northampton Saints’ inability to fulfil a fixture as a result of Covid-19 and the cancellation of the Round 6 Gallagher Premiership match between Northampton Saints and Leicester Tigers, Leicester Tigers shall be awarded the win and 4 league points and Northampton Saints shall be deemed to have lost the match but awarded 2 league points. The match score shall be recorded as 0 – 0. Background to the match cancellation 2. Club testing completed on Monday 28th December as part of the weekly Premiership Rugby testing programme presented one positive case. There was no evidence that this case had any contact with the subsequent cases set out below. 3. Club testing completed on Monday 4th January 2021 as part of the weekly Premiership Rugby testing programme presented 7 positive cases (5 new positives and 2 confirmatory results following symptomatic positives from Saturday 2nd January 2021). With the number of cases seen this week and given the rapid spread of cases that has been seen previously in rugby clubs after similar outbreaks, Public Health England could not rule out if this was the start of a Covid-19 outbreak within the club. This was of particular concern in respect of the increased infectiousness of the new variant and the potential impact from a player and staff welfare point of view, together with the wider public health of their families and the community, it was considered unwise for the club to continue training.

This is due the chair taking a break in service. I would express my thanks to a proficient committee who effectively and efficiently “carried on regardless”. During the first period many of the applications could not receive approval because of common themes emerging from disparity between the IRAS form and the PIS and ICF. A cross check of information could have eradicated the majority of these errors, permitting the application to proceed unhindered. Other stumbling blocks that arose in several applications was the lack of consideration to the consequences of actions such as stress and possible parental conflict, such consequences should be anticipated and either avoided or mechanisms instituted to allay concerns.
