Southampton Background • 0 – 19 year old resident population (2016 estimate) - Approx 57,000 • 0-4 year olds relatively stable at approximately 16,000 (3,200 births per year) • 5-9 year olds estimated to increase by 11.4% in 2018 (390 per annum) • 10-16 year olds estimated to increase by 9.5% (382 per annum) • 17-18 year olds estimated to fall by 3.4% (75 per annum) • Ethnicity (2015 School Census) – 67.7% of school aged children recorded as White British compared to 77.7% of all residents in 2011 Census • Polish is the most common language spoken as first language other than English • Special Education Needs (2017) - 19.4% (14.4% England) • IMD (2015) - Ranked 67 out of 326 (1 most deprived)
Our rank for Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) is lower than IMD, at 50th worse (within the worse quintile nationally) • 21% of under 5s in Southampton reside within the 10% most deprived areas nationally and 35% in the 20% most deprived (IDACI)
Strategic drivers for change • Continued need for effective delivery of 0-19 Healthy Child Programme • Phased deletion of the Public Health Grant • Changes in the characteristics, behaviours and technological capability of children and young people • Mental health and emotional wellbeing is a growing issue, but fewer using traditional unhealthy coping strategies • Integration progressing on a number of fronts • Austerity continues to impose pressure on many families • Many parents have limited parenting capacity, and limited resilience
Strategic Priorities for 0-19 Prevention and Early Help Priorities: • Mental health and resilience • Improving attainment and attendance and reducing exclusion • Promoting positive lifestyles and improving physical health • Reducing inequalities in high risk groups through targeted intervention • Promoting joined up working and links across providers
Priorities identified by children and young people in Southampton Priorities: • Mental health • Safe, affordable things to do in leisure – youth / play offer • Life skills for health, wellbeing and employment
2020 Vision for Southampton’s Children and Young People • We want all children and young people in Southampton to have a good start in life so they can fulfil their potential and become successful adults engaged in their local communities. • We want to provide the right help, at the right time with a focus on prevention & early help.
The Prevention & Early Help Strategy is one of a set of city wide strategies and action plans.
0-19 Prevention and Early Help Plan • Reducing the effects of child poverty is at the heart of the city's prevention & early help strategy and will be evidenced through a continuing commitment to: • Stronger, more resilient families where children are nurtured, their health, social, education and emotional needs are met & they are supported to make positive choices. • Improved school attendance and engagement with learning from early childhood. • Increased emotional wellbeing and resilience amongst children and young people.
Integration of Prevention and Early Help services in Southampton In Scope - Certain • 5-19 Public Health Nursing • 0-4 Health Visiting • Family Nurse Partnership • Children’s Centre Council services • Troubled Families (Families Matter) services In Scope – Possible future • Healthy Settings – piloting • Early Years setting support
0-19 Play and Youth – Proposedapproach for the future Three key components: • Play Provision – a sustainable, coherent play offer that supports the needs of children and families • Youth Provision – support for the development of a vibrant community and voluntary sector led youth offer for older children and young people • Sector leadership and capacity building – a co-ordinating role in relation to ensuring links between and across providers in the City to develop collaboration in provision, fundraising expertise, volunteering and workforce development
0-19 Play and Youth Next Steps • Background work on the procurement of a new service to start in the Autumn of 2018 is nearing completion • Market engagement will start later this year, but the model sought will require a collaborative and inclusive approach from community and voluntary sector delivery partners
