It provides the commissioners with a robust evidence base across a range of health and wellbeing issues to help identify priority areas to target and place services in appropriate areas. The report pulls together information from various sources to present a picture of the health and wellbeing of children aged 0-4, following through the Best Start Pathway. The data is presented and displayed at Ward Level with comparisons made with Staffordshire and England. Information used in the report is the latest available at the time of writing. Health and social needs are complex and it is unlikely that there will be a single factor which is responsible for the particular situation in each local area. Therefore, it is important that no single item of information is treated in isolation. Instead the various pieces of data and evidence should be used together to give a better picture of the needs of children and young people in the local community. We aim to produce this annually with the next one being due November 2016 to support the Districts with their Local Authority annual conversations.

Overall the population of children aged 0-4 within Tamworth has decreased by 0.4 percentage points from 4,978 to 4,721 between 2013 and 2015; this is in line with the slight reduction shown across Staffordshire. For families with dependents, married couples are the largest group in the district accounting for 16.1% of households; the proportion of households that are lone parents varies across the wards from 4.3% in Trinity and 11.3% in Glascote giving an average of 8% of all households that have children under the age of 5 in Tamworth. The numbers of children living in out of work benefit claimant households has seen a significant increase across the whole of Tamworth from 2012 to 2013. However from 2013 the number of children aged 0-4 in benefit claimant households has reduced by 15 percentage points. Amington and Bolehall have seen the largest decrease by over 30%; Spital and Stoneydelph have both shown a slight increase.

Glascote and Stoneydelph have the largest proportion of children who are subject of a Child Protection Plan; there are a total of 13 children across Tamworth who are Looked After, but due to the low numbers the data has been suppressed. The Early Years Reach across Tamworth has shown an improvement of 21.5 percentage points between 2014/15 and 2015/16 equating to 1,043 additional children aged 0-4. All wards have shown an improvement in the Reach, most noticeably in Mercian with an increase of 40.3 percentage points. All of the 7 wards with areas of 0-30% deprivation saw an increase in the Reach, again Mercian has shown the largest increase by 27.9 percentage points; this gives Tamworth a 0-30% Reach figure of 69.5%, a 24 percentage point increase from 2014/15. Attendance at Children’s Centre activities in Tamworth shows that the majority of attendees are from the local areas surrounding the centres and the community venue.
