Deprivation Policies often directed Often easier to Tackle Deprived by Central Government Individuals over Place Deprivation
Getting engagement V buy-in v stigmatising
Constraints on Funding Limited Access to National & Resources Databases, GDPR & Disclosure Deprived Places & People: Where you Live Matters, as Well as Who you Are
Place A: Not Deprived Place B: Deprived Person’s circumstances Improve, may relocate
Churn (a policy challenge)
Replaced by ‘deprived’ Individual/family Part III: Case Studies Supporting Families
Two Phases (STEP 1 & II):
• STEP 1 2012 and 2014/15 targeted approx 600 per annum.
• STEP 2 to 2020 targeting over a 1,000 families in 2015/16 and 2016/17. Skills & Employment Driven Case Studies
• Construction Skills Fund (CFS) Sector specific • Solent LEP – Centre of Excellence in Engineering & Manufacturing Advanced Skills Training (CEMAST)
• Hampshire Careers Partnership and NCOP Funding
• ESF Solent Traineeship Engagement and Participation (STEP) Programme
• ESF Solent LEP & Enterprise M3 NEET Projects
• European Social Fund (ESF) Projects - skills support for the unemployed
• Economic Development Summary • Hampshire as a whole has low levels of deprivation, BUT has concentrated pockets across the County, but focused in a few large neighbourhoods
• Deprivation based on the IMD is good at locating relative place deprivation, but cannot identify deprived individuals – often hidden deprivation
• Although the IMD is about deprived places, most policies target individuals/families
• Hampshire County Council departments make a major contribution to easing deprivation and preventing people from falling into deprivation through its skills & education programmes which increase employability and mobility.
• Economic development work with local businesses in creating employment opportunities that can be tapped into by all residents including those from deprived areas.
