About Dundee 2018 l dundeecity.gov.uk About Dundee 2018 l dundeecity.gov.uk 5 1 INTRODUCTION Dundee is Scotland’s fourth largest city and is situated on the north coast of the mouth of the Tay Estuary, in a stunning location. Edinburgh lies 60 miles to the south and Aberdeen 67 miles to the north.
The most recent estimate of Dundee’s population is 148,710 (National Records of Scotland (NRS) 2017 Mid-year population estimate). Dundee has a sizeable student population, and is home to the University of Dundee, Abertay University and Dundee & Angus College. The Dundee City Council area covers 60 square kilometres and is, geographically, the smallest local authority area in Scotland. It is bordered by Perth and Kinross Council to the west and Angus Council to the north and east. The former Tayside Regional Council area previously covered all three councils, and Dundee continues to serve as the regional centre for this area and North-East Fife, with an estimated catchment population of some 400,000 people.
Dundee is Scotland’s sunniest city, with an average of 1,523 hours of sunshine per year (source: Visit Scotland – Scotland’s Weather and Climate).
Easy access is available in Dundee to the main road and rail networks. The A90 Edinburgh to Aberdeen Road passes through the City, and the Tay Road Bridge connects to North-East Fife. Regular ScotRail services between Glasgow and Aberdeen, and Edinburgh and Aberdeen stop at Dundee, as do services between London Kings Cross and Aberdeen. Scottish City Link and Stagecoach operate bus services between Dundee and Perth, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Fife and other destinations. Dundee Airport is the most convenient fly-in destination for some 1,000 square miles of Central Scotland. Situated only two miles from Dundee City Centre, and less than 10 minutes by taxi from mainline rail and bus stations, it affords quick and easy access to Fife via the nearby Tay Road Bridge, and lies within five minutes of the main Scottish Trunk Road network. There are scheduled flights between Dundee and London Stansted (Source: Highland and Islands Airports Limited – Dundee Airport). In December 2014 Dundee was named as the UK’s first City of Design by the United Nations. The City has been recognised by UNESCO for its diverse contributions to fields including medical research, comics and video games. The City of Design designation has previously been awarded to 12 cities including Beijing, Berlin and Montreal. Dundee was added to the UNESCO grouping of “creative cities” alongside European cities Turin, Helsinki, Bilbao and Curitiba in Brazil. The title recognises the design innovations which Dundee has contributed to the world, including aspirin, biomedical research which has led to hundreds of new cancer drugs, comics including The Beano and Dandy, orange marmalade and video games including Lemmings and Grand Theft Auto. Dundee is twinned with: • Alexandria, USA • Nablus, Palestine • Orleans, France • Wurzburg, Germany
The V&A Dundee opened to the public on Saturday 15th September 2018. The museum is the only V&A museum in the world outside London. The V&A building was designed by internationally acclaimed Japanese architect Kengo Kuma and stands at the centre of Dundee’s transformed waterfront. The museum features permanent galleries of Scottish design, as well as an ambitious international programme of changing exhibitions showcasing the very best of design from around the world, new design commissions, fast changing installations by emerging designers and creative projects developed through the learning programme for all audiences.

The projected change in the population between 2016 and 2026 varies across Scotland’s local authority areas. Whilst the population in most local authority areas is projected to increase over the period 2016- 2026, this is not the case for all local authority areas, with the above chart showing that a quarter of local authority areas are projected to experience a decrease in population levels during the period 2016-2026.
National Records of Scotland have produced population projections up to 2041 in their latest Population Projection publication. These projections have limitations in their use due to the level of uncertainty with projecting this far ahead, howeverTable 5 displays these projections for Dundee City for information purposes only.

Mental Wellbeing The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Score (WEMWBS) was developed by researchers at the Universities of Warwick and Edinburgh to enable the measurement of mental wellbeing of adults in the UK. WEMWBS is a 14 item scale of mental well-being covering subjective well-being and psychological functioning, in which all items are worded positively and address aspects of positive mental health.
The Dundee Partnership Annual Citizens survey 2017 contained some questions relating to mental wellbeing. The survey found that for Dundee City as a whole, the mean score for the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS) was 56.5. This has increased when compared to the results of the 2016 Annual Citizens Survey where the mean score was 54.3.
At a Scottish Level, the Scottish Governments Scottish Health Survey found that average levels of wellbeing for adults, as measured by the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS) has remained stable since 2008, with scores ranging from 49.7 to 50.0. The 2016 Scottish Health Survey reported that the average mean WEMWBS score for both men and women (aged 16 and over) was 49.8.

Pupil Attainment The Curriculum for Excellence was introduced to Scottish schools in 2010. This led to the introduction of a new Senior Phase in 2014 to cover stages S4, S5 and S6 along with a new set of National exams in the 2014 exam diet to replace standard grades. The National 4 and 5 exams were designed to be studied over one year and the recommended number of subjects to study was reduced from 8 to 6. In addition, schools were given much greater flexibility over the curriculum model they wished to use in the Senior Phase. So, for instance, a pupil might not take any exams in S4 and work towards Highers in S5. This change led the Scottish Government to develop a new senior phase benchmarking tool, Insight. This replaced the previous reporting tool Standard Tables and Charts (STACs) published by ScotXed.
The most important change to measuring attainment is the move to measuring at the point of leaving school rather than particular stage results. Old measures such as the percentage of S4 pupils achieving five or more awards at SCQF level 5 are important for gauging historical performance but going forward the Insight measures will be used to assess performance within the senior phase of the Curriculum for Excellence.
A radical addition to the Insight tool is the Virtual Comparator. The virtual comparator is made up of pupils from schools in other local authorities who have similar characteristics to the pupils in the school in question. It allows one to see how the performance of pupils compares to a similar group of pupils from across Scotland to help undertake self-evaluation and improvement activities. For each pupil in the cohort of interest, 10 matching pupils are randomly selected from other local authorities based on the following characteristics: • Gender • Additional support needs • Latest stage • Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation vigintile.
This allows virtual comparators to be produced for the target cohort of interest, so, if School A has 20 school leavers all of whom have the same characteristics, 200 different pupils with these same characteristics from schools in the other 31 local authorities will be selected to compare them to.

Attendance at Dundee Schools remained broadly similar over the last five sessions; figures for each education sector have shown very little variation over this period. The largest contributions to unauthorised absence are unauthorised parental holidays and truancy; of these, truancy has the greater impact. The Children and Families service through central support and in every school have a range of strategies to promote attendance. In addition to this they have taken a number of actions to promote attendance working on the positive benefits of attendance with parents, young people and schools.

Chart 13: Initial Destination of Senior Phase School Leavers Dundee City and Scotland 2016/17 – Percentage of School Leavers in each destination
Source: Scottish Government, Initial Destination of Senior Phase School Leavers: No 2 2018 – Table 5 Initial destinations of senior phase school leavers by local authority 2016/17
The data displayed in Chart 13 is taken from the Scottish Governments Initial Destination of Senior Phase School Leavers bulletin which was published in February 2018. The publication presents data on the initial destination of leavers from local authority and grant aided schools in Scotland. Data is presented on pupils leaving during the senior phase (S4-S6) and does not include pupils attending special schools. Information on the initial destinations of school leavers is provided from the “Opportunities for all” shared dataset managed by Skills Development Scotland. The initial destination data presented in this publication provides information on the outcomes for young people as recorded in October 2017, approximately three months after leaving school.
Initial destination data from Skills Development Scotland is matched to the Scottish Governments pupil census for the same academic year in order to identify the cohort of senior phase school leavers from local authority or grant aided schools. This cohort is then checked against the pupil census from the start of the following academic year (e.g. the 2016/17 leaver cohort is checked against the September 2017 pupil census) and any pupils who are found to still be attending school are removed from the leaver cohort. In addition any leavers that were identified by Skills Development Scotland as having moved out with Scotland are excluded.
A school leaver is classed as a young person in the senior phase of school (S4-S6) who left school during the school year, where the school year is taken to run from school census day one year to the day before census the following year. Therefore for 2016/17 leavers, the leaver year is 21st September 2016 to 19th September 2017.

Source: NRS Population and Household Projections for Sub-Council Areas (2012-Based)
In 2016, National Records of Scotland (NRS) published the results of a one-off research project to produce household projections for sub-council areas. The figures in Table 39 are based on past trends and are projections not forecasts. Household projections incorporate past trends in house building. The figures reflect past policy changes and trends in housebuilding but they do not incorporate any future housebuilding and/or policy trends. For example an area may have had a high level of house building over the last few years, which is now coming to an end but the projections will show a continuation as the assumption is made that this will continue. The projections therefore have limitations in their use. They do however give an indication of how an area may change if past trends were to continue.

It is estimated/anticipated that of the 527 housing units that were under construction when the Housing Land Audit was undertaken in 2018, approximately 382 will be completed within the average house build time of 24 weeks. The remainder are larger flatted developments which require a longer build time or developments that have just broken ground but are anticipated to increase the number of completions in 2019 to 2017 levels.

The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) is the Scottish Government’s official tool for identifying places in Scotland suffering from deprivation. Deprivation in this context refers to the range of problems that arise due to the lack of resources or opportunities covering health, safety, education, employment, housing and access to services as well as financial aspects.
The most recent Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation was released by the Scottish Government on 31st August 2016. The SIMD divides Scotland into 6,976 small areas called data zones with roughly an equal population in each data zone. The Scottish Government then look at the indicators to measure the different sides of deprivation in each data zone including pupil performance, travel times to GP’s, crime, unemployment etc. These 38 indicators of deprivation are then grouped into 7 types called domains. These domains are:
• Income • Employment • Education • Health • Access to Services • Crime • Housing
The 7 domains are combined into one SIMD, ranking each data zone in Scotland from 1 (Most Deprived) to 6,976 (Least Deprived). The SIMD allows organisations to target policies and place resources in the areas with greatest need.
The boundaries used to collate the SIMD changed in 2016 as the analysis was based on the 2011 data zones which were produced by the Scottish Government. The previous SIMD’s published by the Scottish Government were based on the Scottish Governments 2001 based data zones.

Local Share The SIMD examines various levels of local share of the most deprived. This looks at the proportion of data zones in each area which are among the most deprived. This local share is calculated by dividing the number of deprived data zones in the area by all data zones in this area. For example, the “local share of the 15% most deprived in Dundee City” is the number of data zones in Dundee City that are in the 15% most deprived in Scotland (55 data zones) divided by the number of all data zones in Dundee City (188 data zones). This results in a local share of 29.3%.
15% Most Deprived Data Zones
• Dundee City has 55 data zones which are in the 15% most deprived in Scotland • 29% of the Dundee City population live within these areas • 65% of the Dundee City population within the 15% most deprived areas are of working age • Whilst Dundee City has a slightly smaller percentage of its population living in the 15% most deprived data zones the number of people has remained almost the same since 2012. The drop in percentage is due to a larger overall population.
