Deprivation. Over 2,400 people, 10% of the population of Caithness, live in four small areas in Wick that are among the most multiply deprived 20% of areas in Scotland. A consequence of deprivation and poverty is generally poorer health and an increased demand for health and social care services. In addition, in remote and rural Caithness many disadvantaged individuals and households live in pockets of areas not identified as being particularly deprived by SIMD. These people live at some distance from service access points and therefore may struggle to access health and social care services.
Deprivation. The deprivation supplement is intended to support children to have equal chances of achieving success irrespective of their family circumstances or where they live. Only eligible three- and four-year-old children will attract this funding for a provider. If your provision attracts this funding it will be detailed on your indicative annual financial estimate issued at the start of the financial year. Using the IDACI indices of Multiple Deprivation scoring system, the value of this funding will be calculated annually from the Autumn funded period headcount data and applied to the whole of the following financial year. Each provider will receive a supplement for the number of weighted hours delivered to qualifying children. The deprivation supplement is paid at 40p per weighted hour. Providers will not be informed which children have attracted this funding so it should be spent on improving the overall outcomes of all children. The deprivation supplement will be divided equally over the 12 months of the financial year and paid along with each monthly Early Years Entitlement payment. However, the supplement will only be paid when a provider is open and delivering the Early Years Entitlement, for example if a provider is only open for the Summer funding period within a financial year, then only 5 months of the supplement annual allocation will be paid. Rurality/sustainability The rurality/sustainability supplement is intended to enable small early years providers, where there is no alternative provision, to retain a degree of stability. Where applicable, an early years provider will receive an annually calculated additional 52p per hour where in the current year’s Summer funding period: • they had fewer than ten children in attendance; and • they delivered less than 300 hours; and • there was no other early years provider within a two mile radius. Please note that this supplement is not available to childminders due to the generally small size of their provision. The rurality supplement will be divided equally over the 12 months of the financial year and paid along with each monthly Early Years Entitlement payment.
Deprivation. There are eight data zones in Midlothian within the 20% most deprived areas of Scotland; with 4 of these in the most deprived 15%. There is one data zone in Midlothian that falls into the most deprived 15% for health deprivation. The most health-deprived areas are Woodburn, Dalkeith and Xxxxxxxx. Further analysis is needed to determine whether there is a higher incidence of disability and age-related need in these areas. Alcohol & Drugs Scotland's drink problem is significantly worse than the rest of the UK. Alcohol consumption across the country has increased by 19 per cent since 1980 and as consumption has increased, so has alcohol related harm. Drug misuse is a priority for a number of agencies throughout the Midlothian area and has direct links to crime and social deprivation. It is estimated that a quarter of new individual patients reported to the Scottish Drug Misuse Database in Midlothian are living in households with dependent children. The estimated cost to Midlothian in terms of crime; social care; loss of productivity; health; accidents etc is in the region of £27 million per annum.
Deprivation. While not suffering from the same concentrations of deprivation as experienced in the cities and some other local authorities, there are still pockets of deprivation in most of the towns in the Council area. Following the 2001 Census, the Partnership carried out its own deprivation analysis which identified eleven Priority Areas. The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) published in 2004 confirmed much of this analysis and this was reinforced when it was updated in the SIMD 2006 which identified ten areas of deprivation – datazones in the worst 15% in Scotland - which almost exactly matched our own analysis. We are now working through the Fairer Scotland Fund in the following ten areas7: Bo’ ness Camelon Xxxxxx Xxxxx Grangemouth Hallglen Maddiston Westquarter Callendar Park Flats, Falkirk 7 For further information on these areas see: xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx.xx/services/corporate_neighbourhood/policy_performance_review/corporate_policy/community_regene ration/priority_areas_for_regeneration.aspx Middlefield, Falkirk Each of these areas has its own characteristics and vary in size from a population of just 600 to almost 3,000. Various projects and initiatives are underway in these areas. In the SIMD 2006 almost 13,000 people lived in an area ranked in the worst 15% in Scotland – 8.8% of the total population of our area. We expect to review these areas when the new SIMD is published in the autumn of 2009. However it is recognised that many of those who suffer from deprivation do not live in the most deprived areas. There are a significant number of people in our area living on working age benefits. 5,420 people of working age (aged 16-59) were on Income Support in May 2008 and 7,560 on Incapacity Benefit. This represents 6.0% and 8.4% of the working age population respectively and compares with the Scottish proportions of 6.9% and 8.4%. The current state of the economy, with increased costs of fuel etc has an impact on people within our communities and in particular people in our poorer communities. We are monitoring the situation to ensure we have the right balance of services when people most need them. This is particularly important when people require advice for debt and money problems. Joint Statistics for the Council’s Community Advice Service and the 3 CAB’s which cover the Falkirk Council area highlight that in the third quarter October 08– December 08, there was a total of £12.2 million of debt over 374 new cases compare...
Deprivation. Several practical investments such as provision of affordable/supported homes, rural transport measures, skills training and physical employment led development which will reduce deprivation are contained elsewhere in this LIP.
Deprivation. North Hertfordshire is a relatively prosperous area and none of its LSOAs are in the fifth most deprived areas in England (by rank of the Index of Multiple Deprivation). Large parts of the district’s rural areas and towns are within the least deprived fifth of England and almost all the rural areas are within the least deprived two fifths. Nevertheless, there are pockets of relative deprivation within the two largest towns of Hitchin and Letchworth Garden City. Parts of Westmill in Hitchin and Jackmans Estate, Grange Estate, and the areas of Wilbury and Westbury in Letchworth Garden City fall within the second lowest fifth of deprivation areas in the country. Perhaps a more meaningful picture of relative deprivation can be gained by comparing North Hertfordshire to other Hertfordshire local authorities: there are 13 LSOAs in the district that are in the most deprived 20% in the county. Table 4 shows the levels of deprivation in North Hertfordshire when ranked against all Hertfordshire LSOAs. Table 4: Indices of Deprivation 2007 Index of deprivation No. of LSOAs in N.

Deprivation. The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD), produced by the Scottish Government, identifies small-area concentrations of multiple deprivation across Scotland. The SIMD is produced at data zone level, with datazones being ranked from 1 (most deprived) to 6,505 (least deprived). The SIMD calculates deprivation across seven ‘domains’. The results from each Domain are weighted (see below), then combined to give Overall Deprivation rankings and scores: • Current Income (weighting of 28%) • Employment (28%) • Health (14%) • Education, Skills and Training (14%) • Geographic Access to Services (9%) • Housing (2%) • Crime (5%). Patterns of Geographic Access Deprivation tend to be the reverse of other types of deprivation. In Argyll and Bute, all the datazones that are in the 15% most Overall, Income, Employment and Health deprived datazones in Scotland are in our main towns. Conversely, Geographic Access Deprivation is most pronounced in our rural areas. The SIMD 2012 ranked ten datazones in Argyll and Bute in the 15% most overall deprived datazones in Scotland. Nine datazones are among the 15% most income deprived datazones in Scotland, eight datazones are in the most employment deprived datazones, and twelve datazones are in the 15% most health deprived datazones. Fifty-three of Argyll and Xxxx’s 122 datazones (43%) are amongst the 15%t most geographic access deprived datazones in Scotland. These 53 datazones cover 495,700 hectares, 71%of Argyll and Bute’s land area (SIMD 2012; 2001 Census). Thirteen of Argyll and Bute’s datazones – more than 10% – are in the 1% most access deprived datazones in Scotland. The most access deprived datazone in Scotland covers the islands of Coll and Tiree.

Deprivation. The West Region has some of the most deprived areas in Scotland and as a College we have always recognised and worked to address the many challenges our students face in achieving full success. We have continually adapted learning to better meet their needs and provide appropriate support, particularly in relation to resilience, mental health and wellbeing. During 2020-21 this focus has been even more critical and we have responded by supporting those in digital poverty to provide vital access to digital equipment to enable learning and have provided enhanced student support, particularly for health and wellbeing. The College Community Outreach programme for 2020-21 has had a mixture of online classes and classes delivered on our campus locations due to venues not being open in the local community, including the Colleges Ferguslie Learning Centre which serves one of the most deprived areas in Scotland. Despite challenges relating to IT and connectivity, varying degrees of IT skills and lack of confidence for some staff and students for the new ways of learning online, 24 community classes, approximately 25% of the planned programme, have taken place since August 2020. Classes have been in construction, humanities, computing and IT, care, mental health, essential skills, business, textile technology, horticulture and childhood practice. A similar number of classes are planned to be delivered before June 2021. If these can all go ahead, that will represent approximately 50% of the usual programme delivery. Delivery has been reduced due to lack of venues, lack of confidence using IT and some learners not wanting to learn online and choosing to wait until face to face teaching returns. The College Community Outreach programme serves three of the most deprived areas in Scotland and as such there have been many barriers to learning including lack of IT devices, lack of connectivity, ill health and a large proportion of the population unwell due to COVID-19 or self-isolating as a result. This is in addition to the normal barriers faced by many students who access this programme, including caring responsibilities, addictions, mental health issues and poverty. Retention on Community programmes has this session been variable due to the individual circumstances of the student. The mental health of some students has deteriorated significantly throughout this pandemic. Students would normally be able to interact more socially but due to the restrictions we are operatin...
Deprivation. Everton tops the LCC Deprivation Indices chart for overall deprivation. Everton shows an extremely high level of overall deprivation with almost the entire xxxx (97.6%) of the xxxx falling into the most deprived 5% of neighbourhoods nationally. • More than four fifths of the xxxx (84.5%) is in the most deprived 1% of areas nationally. Household Income • Household incomes are the lowest in all 30 Liverpool wards at £21,441 and are considerably lower than the city wide average of £29,379 and the national average of £36,172.
