2012 Play Needs Analysis The 2012 Play Needs Analysis seeks to present a picture of the needs of the children in the Bradford District aged 5-11yrs that have the biggest impact on their lives in being able to have full and quality play experiences. The information will inform the consultation process and review of the Bradford Play Strategy ‘All To Play For’, which is needed to help identify and remove the barriers that prevent children’s opportunities to play and to improve the quality of play opportunities in the district. The 2010 Bradford District Children’s Needs Analysis collated an extensive range of information to provide a quantitative description of how the children and young people of the Bradford District experience their lives. The analysis identified a number of key issues for the districts children. These issues give a broad overview and an underpinning understanding of what impacts the lives of children in the district the most. Key issues High obesity rates linked with fewer school aged children taking exercise than nationally High levels of dental disease in children Concerning proportions of school aged children who have tried smoking or are regular smokers Concerning proportions of school aged children who drink alcohol or take drugs, in particular cannabis Increasing numbers of children who have been at significant risk of harm and are now subject to a Child Protection Plan Higher rates of admissions to hospital for unintentional serious injuries than the national average Higher rates of children worrying about bullying and being bullied at school Educational attainment is behind the national average at Foundation Stage and all Key Stages Pupils in certain cohorts; those who: do not have English as their first language; have an identified Special Educational Need; are in receipt of Free School Meals; are from Asian ethnic groups have lower attainment rates than their peers nationally Unauthorised absences at primary and secondary schools are twice the national average Bradford District overview 2011 Census Bradford District key findings The Bradford District 2011 Census population estimate is 522,500. This is a population increase of 51,700 since 2001, an increase of 11.0%. Bradford District remains the fourth largest metropolitan district in England after Birmingham, Leeds and Sheffield. Bradford has a youthful population structure. A large proportion of the total population is made up of people in the youngest age groups. On Census day 2011 there were 115,000 0 -14 year olds making up 22% of the total population of the District, compared to 17.6% for England and Wales. In comparison to all other metropolitan districts in England, Bradford has the highest proportion of 0 -14 year olds. Bradford District has the third highest number of 0 -14 year olds in England, behind Birmingham and Leeds. The number of school aged children (Year 1 – 6 cohort, July 2012) living in the Bradford District is 41,571. The largest numbers of children live in Bradford East with 26% and Bradford West with 25% accounting for over half of the population in this age range. Significantly different is the Shipley constituency which has the lowest numbers of children living in the district with 14% of the population. The table below shows the numbers of children living in each ward, highlighted in red are the wards with the largest percentages of the population across the district, and in bold are the highest percentages in each constituency. The figures identify that the most densely populated areas in Bradford are those located in close proximity to inner city areas.

This placed the district within the most deprived 10% of local authorities in the country and is the most deprived district in West Yorkshire. Bradford had a ranking of 32 in 2007; therefore Bradford's position relative to other districts has worsened. In June 2011 Bradford launched its Child Poverty Strategy with the outcome to create conditions in the district where all children, young people and families can maximise their full potential by minimising the adverse effects of child poverty. It recognises the vast negative impact that poverty has on so many aspects of children’s lives in terms of life chances and outcomes with higher levels of health, social, economic (and some educational) inequalities than national averages. The tables below show the numbers of children in the Bradford District living in deprivation. The figures show that there is a correlation between areas of high population and high deprivation, indicating that as the number of children increases the level of deprivation also increases. This is true of Bradford East and West, which have a high percentage of a high population, the largest number of children living in the highest deprivation. Manningham in Bradford West is the area of highest deprivation with 78.9% of the number of children living in the 0-5% IMD and 100% of the children in the 0-30% IMD. Manningham has the 5th largest number of children in the district. The 2012 JSNA identified that the annual birth rate is increasing meaning that Bradford has a growing child population.

More children live below the poverty line in working households than nationally (wages in Bradford are 16% below national average) Fewer live in lone-parent families. 54% compared to two thirds nationally (except in Tong) Living in a family headed by a couple is not lifting as many out of poverty as nationally (possibly due to under-employment or low wages) Lone Parents Aug-09 in out out - - work of work of work Child BenefitChild Lone parents % Lone parents Lone parents Families receiving Lone parents Constituency % lone parents out Bradford East 19115 6415 33.6% 2865 3550 55.3% Bradford South 15825 6095 38.5% 3065 3030 49.7% Bradford West 18090 5065 28.0% 2315 2750 54.3% Keighley 12335 3210 26.0% 1835 1375 42.8% Shipley 13105 3215 24.5% 2070 1145 35.6% District 71165 21805 30.6% 11115 10690 49.0% Ethnicity Children from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) backgrounds account for over half of the total population of school aged children in the Bradford District with 53.6%. Bradford West has the largest number of BME children with 83.9% of its population; Bradford East has the second highest percentage with 67.7% of its population from a BME background. The areas with the largest BME communities correlate with those areas that have the overall highest populations and levels of deprivation, which all contribute to the inequalities in outcomes for these particular groups of children.
