Overview

Sefton is a metropolitan borough of Merseyside, England and its local authority is Sefton Council. Sefton was formed, following the Local Government Act 1972, on 1 April 1974.

Meols is one of the 22 wards that make up Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council. It is located in the North of the borough and covers part of the Churchtown and Crossens areas. Meols is bordered by Cambridge to the West, Norwood wards to the South and West Lancashire Borough Council to the North and East.

In the ward there are:

• Three Primary Schools • One General Practitioner (GP) Surgery (as

of 2014)

Implications for Service Delivery

Due to the demographic makeup, the lower deprivation and better health seen across the ward, demands on services in the ward will be lower than compared to other wards and Sefton as a whole; however these may increase in the foreseeable future due to an aging population and increases in deprivation seen. Key service demands could include:

▪ There may be a higher than average demand on adult social care services within the ward than compared to the borough as a whole due to considerably higher rate of older people residing in the ward.

▪ There is a small pocket of households in the ward with limited access to a vehicle may lead to isolation issues and a reliance on public transport and possible consequential restricted access to jobs and services.

▪ The ward has a higher rate of education attainment across most areas compared to the Sefton average; however there may be a higher demand on school and education services to still improve on this.

▪ The ward has low levels of crime and disorder, ad levels have fallen year on year, however, budgets cuts seen by both Merseyside Police and Merseyside Fire and Rescue may result in increases in demand and therefor increasing level of direct costs.

▪ There are low levels on vulnerability in the ward yet changes made in the Welfare Reform Act may see increased levels of vulnerable households and widening in inequalities in households, leading to demands on services such as Food Banks, Emergency Limited Assistance Scheme, Housing Benefits, and Homeless Services.

▪ Levels of emergency hospital admissions relating to heart problems is higher than average within the ward, which may lead to an increased demand on health services and other corresponding services.



Demographics

The latest 2015 population estimates indicate there are approximately 12,000 people living in Meols.

Overall the people of the ward tend to be older than the Sefton, Liverpool City Region, the North West and England averages. With 28% of the population is aged 65 and over compared to 23% across the Borough.

There will be a higher demand on adult social care services within the ward than compared to the borough as a whole, meaning places in day centres or nursing / residential homes within the area maybe limited meaning people have to travel further afield to attend day centres or move out of the area they know.

Only 57% of the population are of “working age” (16 – 65) lower than the comparison areas meaning demand for jobs in the area will be lower than across the Borough.

The overall population in the ward has seen a 3% decrease over the last decade, compared to a 1% increase across Sefton.

Over the last decade the number of young people in the ward has fallen by 11%, possibly leading to an overall reduction in the demand in school places. The number of residents aged 65 and over has seen an 18% increase in the ward, with those aged 85 and over increasing by 38%; this will lead to increased demands on Adult Social care in the ward.

In the last Census (2011) 96% of the population was born in the United Kingdom. With 2% of the ward population having an

ethnicity recorded as Mixed Heritage, Black, Asian, or Minority Ethnic background. The England average is approximately 15%.

Identification of international migration trends between the decennial Censuses is difficult as accurate data covering the whole population is not available. However, the National Insurance Number (NINo) registrations of adult overseas nationals entering the UK can be used to create a picture of economically active migration (see methodology section for interpretation of this data).

There have been a total of approximately 55 NINo registrations made within Meols by overseas nationals between July 2012 and June 2016. Assuming none of those applicants moved out of the ward during the period this equates to 8 per 1,000 16 to 65 year olds living in the ward. This is considerably lower than the rate seen across Sefton as a whole (21 per 1,000) the Liverpool City Region (36), and the North West (43), but is lower than the rates seen across England (77).

85% of the overseas national registrations within Meols during the period were from European countries. The top five countries of registration from European countries in the ward are Poland (25%), Romania (13%), Latvia (12%), Hungary (5%) and Portugal (4%).

The overall numbers of European registrations in Meols have shown fluctuations over the time period (July 2012 to June 2016) yet overall there has been an increase of 200% in the number of registrations between July 2012 and March 2016, there were no European registrations in the ward during April to June 2016.

Approximately 4% of the 0 – 17 year old population within the ward were known to Sefton Children’s Social care and on some form of plan (Children in Need, Child Protection or Looked After Children) at some point between April 2016 and March 2017.

Approximately 2% of the 0 – 18 year old population within the ward were known to Sefton’s Early Help service at some point between April 2016 and March 2017.

Deprivation

Overall deprivation within the ward is low, with some residents living in some of the least deprived areas within England. The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) measures levels of deprivation across seven domains. The higher the score the more affected or ‘deprived’ an area is.

The IMD data can be viewed at a number of different levels. The map below shows the relative level of deprivation across Sefton where the areas shaded are ‘Lower Level Super Output Areas’ (LSOA). These areas are groups of approximately 200 households - defined nationally.

The three of the nine LSOAs which make up Meols are all within the bottom 30% of least affected areas nationally; with one being in the bottom 10% of nationally least deprived LSOAs. However, all bar two of the LSOAs have shown increases when comparing the 2015 IMD scores to those in 2010 indicating that the level of deprivation in the ward has increased over the last 5 years. The average score across the ward is 12.8 compared to an average of 26.1 across Sefton as a whole.

The income deprivation affecting older people index (IDAOPI) is a supplementary index to the IMD. In general the ward is populated by less income deprived older people, yet there are pockets of older people who are less off then their

neighbours.

Of the wards nine LSOAs one is with the bottom 10% affected areas nationally. The average IDAOPI score across the ward is 0.13 – lower than the Sefton 0.22 average.

Only one of the LSOAs has shown an increases in levels of income deprivation affecting older people between 2010 and 2015 suggesting an improvement in overall older people incomes over the period possibly as a result of the

protection of Pension levels over the period.

The income deprivation affecting children index (IDACI) is a supplementary index to the IMD. In general the ward is populated by some of the lesser income deprived parents with children in the country.

One of the wards LSOAs are in the bottom 20% affected areas nationally. The average IDACI score across the ward is 0.11 – again lower than the Sefton average 0.20.

However, five of the nine LSOAs have shown increases in levels of income deprivation affecting children between 2010 and 2015, suggesting an overall ward decline in the parental income over the period.

It is estimated that in 2014 there were some 260 dependent children (aged 0-19) within Meols living in low income families. This equates to approximately 11.2% of all children in the ward. This is a slight increase from the percentage seen in 2010 (10.8%), and a larger increase compared to the previous year (2013 – 10.3%).

IDACI Score by LSOA (2015)

Meols has a low level of all deprivation types, which goes hand in hand with low levels of demands for services covering all ages including children’s and adult’s social care, benefits (including out of work and housing), ‘Sefton Turnaround’ Programme, and early help, intervention, and prevention.



Housing & Households

In most respects the housing make-up of the ward reflects its population of predominantly settled households with middle aged to older people.

In the 2011 Census:

▪ 28% of households were occupied by just one person (Sefton was 32%, LCR 34%, NW 32%, and England 30%).

▪ 17% of households were occupied by someone aged 65+ living alone higher than the local and national averages. (Sefton was 16%, LCR 13%, NW 13%, and England 12%). Within the ward there is a slightly higher level than that seen across the Borough indicating that demands on adult services or charities maybe be a little higher than the demand seen across the Borough, coupled with the increased levels of deprivation seen in the ward.

▪ 10% of households were occupied by a lone parent. (Sefton was 13%, LCR 14%, NW 12%,

and England 11%).

▪ 82% of households had an occupancy rating of +1 or more - an indication that the households had one or more bedrooms than ‘required’. This is considerably higher than the rates seen across the Borough (74%), City Region (73%), Northwest (72%) and England (69%).

▪ Just 3% of all household tenure was local authority or social land-lord rented much lower than local and national rates. (Sefton was 14%, LCR 22%, NW and England 18%). With 10% living in privately rented properties (also lower than Sefton 13%,

LCR 16%, NW 15%, and England 17%).

▪ Just 2% of households over 65 had a tenure category of local authority or social land-lord rented again (Sefton was 14%, LCR 19%, NW 21%, and England 19%), with a further 5% resided in privately rented properties (Sefton was 5%, LCR 4%, NW 5%, and England 4%). Meaning 7% of households over 65 were rented properties (compared to 19% in Sefton), this will lead to lower demands for funding should these residents move into long term residential or nursing facilities as they will not have any property equity to fund their stays.

▪ 16% of households within Meols do not have access to a car or van; this is much lower than the comparison areas, Sefton with 28%, LCR with 34%, NW with 28% and England at 26%. 38% of the households in the ward have access to two or more cars (Sefton 28%, LCR 24%, NW24% and England 25%). The small pocket with limited access to a vehicle may lead to isolation issues and a reliance on public transport and possible consequential restricted access to jobs and services.

Household Composition

The ward has a lower than average number of long-term vacant properties; these properties there is a higher rate of privately owned properties. The ward has a lower level of Council Tax discounts and receipt shortfalls, partly a function of lower level of single occupancy households.

Overall the ward contributes some 4% of all rateable dwellings in Sefton (This is slightly lower than the number of households in the ward, with



Meols making up 5% of all households in the Borough).

Just 7% (371 dwellings) within the ward are deemed to fall into Council Tax Band A, with the majority of households within the ward falling Tax Band C (45% / 2,520).

Of the 5,548 household dwellings within the ward subject to paying Council Tax 30% qualified for single occupancy discount (i.e. their Council Tax liability was reduced by 25%). This equates to over £523,000 in reductions for single occupancy discounts in the ward.

It is estimated that the council tax total net liability in Meols was £6.4 million in 2016/17, during the period receipts were received of approximately £6.3m leaving an estimated ‘short fall’ of approximately £86,000 across the ward (1%).

Meols has a rate of vacant and / or void properties of 33 per 1,000 properties. The ward’s rate is lower than the average for the Borough (42 per 1000).

There were a total of 181 vacant and / or void properties in the ward as of April 2016 making up 3% of all vacant and / or void properties across Sefton.

18% of the vacant and / or void stock in the ward has been vacant and / or void for over two years.

95% of the wards vacant and / or void properties are registered as being privately owned; considerably higher than the Borough rate of 85%.

Time Void / Vacant

As at March 2016 there were three development sites built or in progress in Meols, constituting 16 dwellings none of which are intended as ‘affordable’.

New Build Bedroom Types

There were 203 properties sold in Meols between January and December 2016, all bar four were household dwellings. Of all the properties sold in the ward nearly three quarters (72%) were semi-detached properties.

29% of all properties sold in during the year were leasehold. With five of properties sold in the ward being new builds.

Average House Prices

In general all areas of Sefton have relatively low barriers to housing when compared nationally. However, the 2015 Index of Deprivation relating to Housing & Services shows that Meols has lower than average issues in terms of housing barriers across Sefton, there has been an overall improvement from 2010.

All nine LSOAs making up the ward, are in the bottom 20% of affected areas nationally, meaning that residents of the ward are living in some of the least affected areas for barriers to housing and services across England, with the ward being more accessible than across Sefton (the ward has an average score of 6.6 compared to 9.7 across Sefton as a whole).

There has been progress made in recent developments and improvement in housing stock. However, given the low levels of lone person households and the vacant and poor quality accommodation there may be limited opportunity for continued existing stock improvements.

Economy & Business

As of October 2016 there were a total of 30 establishments throughout Meols which hold a license under the 2003 Licensing Act; these include locations which sell alcohol (shops, pubs, clubs and restaurants) along with properties serving hot food after 11pm. The ward makes up just 3% of all Sefton’s licensed premises lower than the Sefton average of 5%.

Five establishments hold a license under the Gambling Regulation Act 2003 across the ward as of October 2016.

Within Meols there were 104 inspections carried out of commercial properties (ranging from large chain stores e.g. Asda / Tesco, to the local corner shop) during 2016.

According to Experian Mosaic in 2016, 24% (1,304) of households within Meols had an annual income of less than £15,000, considerably lower than the rates seen across Sefton. Possibly due to the area being predominantly stable more affluent households.

The 2011 Census indicated that of the then 8,871 residents aged 16 to 74 living within Meols, 68% were economically active. Of these economically active residents, 35% were employed full time; 17% employed part time; and 10% were self-employed. 32% were economically in-active; of whom 21% were retired and 4% were registered as long term sick or disabled. In total 80 (1%) had been unemployed long term and 0.3% (30) had never been employed.

Benefits & Support

Meols is characterised overall by lower than average benefits-dependent population, however, there has been a slight increase in socio-economic problems of all poverty. The population vulnerable to the vagaries of the wider economy are less likely to be vulnerable to the structural changes in benefit levels and accessibility.

There are approximately 615 working age people residing in the ward claiming benefits. This is 8% of all the working aged residents; considerably lower than Sefton (15%), LCR (17%), North West

(14%) and Great Britain (15%).

Figures for August 2016 show the total number of claimants in the ward decreased by 5% (30) compared to August 2015. This is similar to the percentage reduction seen across the Borough as a whole (5%).

Of working age benefit claimants within the ward 55% are in receipt of either Employment Support Allowance (ESA) or Incapacity Benefit. This rate has remained the same when compared to the same period last year, Sefton seen 2% increase. However, the number of carers in the ward increased by 8% (possibly leading to higher demands on services in the future).

As of January 2017 there were 6% of residents Meols claiming Job Seekers Allowance (JSA) aged between 18 and 24 years of age.

The ward is lower than the proportion of 18 to

24 year olds claiming JSA than across Sefton (9%) and LCR (10%) yet is on par with the North West (11%), and England (11%).

There were 74 Universal Credit (UC) claimants in the ward in December 2016. This will have seen an increase compared to 2015 primarily as a result of the move from a basket of different benefits to the single Universal Credit benefit from 2014 which has not yet been completed.

Meols has a lower rate of 18 – 64 year old UC claimants than comparison areas, 1% compared to Sefton, LCR and NW all at 3% yet is on par with the England at 1%, but again caution should be used as the conversion rate to this single benefit will differ across areas.

There were 345 families in the ward who were out of work claiming Child Tax Credits (CTC) equating to 5% of all Sefton out of work families.

1,300 families in Meols are claiming child benefits (relating to 2,190 children). This is 4% of all families in Sefton, and 4% of all children.

In January 2017 some 355 households in Meols were claiming Housing Benefit (7% of all households in the ward as of Census 2011). This is lower than the averages seen across the comparison areas with the borough having 18%, LCR with 22%, NW with 18% and England as a whole having 17%. A vast number of these households are Housing Association properties. Unlike the comparison areas the ward has seen a minimal increase in the number of claimants when comparing January 2017 to the same period in 2016.

Some 675 households in the ward are claiming Council Tax Reduction (12% of all rated households). Lower than the Sefton average of 21%. Some 37% of these claiming households are Housing Association properties.

Between April 2016 and March 2017 there were 58 applications to Sefton’s Emergency Limited Assistance Scheme (ELAS) by residents within Meols. This makes up 1% of residents aged 18 and over in the ward, lower than the borough rate. The ward has seen a reduction in the number of applications made in 2016/17 compared to the previous year similar to Sefton which also saw an overall reduction. Of the applications in the ward, 64% were approved in full, with 7% being partially



approved (2016/17). The ward made up 1% of all Sefton’s applicants.

Trussell Trust Food Bank data for April 2015 to March 2016 shows that 226 Meols residents were fed by a Food Bank located in Sefton, equating to 18 per 1,000 residents which is considerably lower than the Sefton rate of just 57 per 1,000.

Emergency Limited Assistance Scheme (ELAS) Applications

The Welfare Reform Act introduced major changes to the national benefits system. As of November 2016 the benefit cap on household income was reduced from £26,000 per annum to £20,000 per annum. This was in addition to the already implanted reforms of the ‘bedroom tax’ (a reduction in housing benefit for occupants of rented housing who have more rooms than they are deemed to require); and council tax reduction scheme (the personal capital limit has been reduced from £16,000 to £6,000 for council tax liability meaning unemployed working age people, 16-64, with less than £6,000 being liable to pay 20% of the annual council tax bill).

Along with the changes in limits and accessibility the way benefits are paid is also changing. Universal Credits is being introduced as a single means-tested benefit paid to people of working age replacing JSA, ESA, IS, HB, WTC and CTC. Personal Independence Payment is replacing DLA, it is a benefit for people aged 16-64 with a long-term health condition or disability that means they have trouble getting around or need help with daily living activities.

These changes in the welfare reform system are going to have varying impacts across Sefton wards.

Within Meols there is a lower level of reliance on all forms of benefits; however the new reforms may lead to a potential reduction in household income for some of the more vulnerable residents in the ward. This could have an increased demand on other provisions including ELAS, Food Banks and homeless services. The reduction in household income may also have a knock on effect on local businesses and landlords.

Education

Given the direct correlation between deprivation levels and attainment, it is unsurprising that overall Meols has a lower than average proportion of children with special educational needs and higher rate of attainment across most areas compared to the Sefton results.

The higher levels of attainment and lower levels of specialist support needed for children in the ward may present particular challenges to further improve the delivery of services and pressures on service delivery across school and educational services. The population spike seen in the demographic profile of the Borough could also add to service pressures over the medium term.

Index of Multiple Deprivation – Crime

All nine LSOAs making up the Meols ward, are in the bottom 30% of affected areas nationally, meaning that the wards residents are living in some of the least affected crime areas in England. However, levels across five of the wards LSOAs have shown an increase in levels when comparing the 2015 scores to 2010.

Deliberate Fires

Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFARS) responded to just five deliberate fires in the ward between January and December 2016. This is only 1% of all deliberate fires across the borough.

The rate of deliberate fires per 100,000 population in the ward is 41 compared to 228 across Sefton as a whole.

The number of deliberate property fires in Meols has reduced compared to the previous year

compared to an increase of 15% seen across the borough.

The ward has low levels of crime and disorder, and levels have fallen year on year, however, budgets cuts seen by both Merseyside Police and Merseyside Fire and Rescue may result in increases in demand and therefor increasing level of direct costs. Associated with these issues are also indirect costs including lowered levels of community satisfaction and wellbeing; and reduced attractiveness to encourage businesses and job creators to locate in the area.

This is higher than England (111.7), the same as the, Liverpool City Region (114.5) rate, yet lower than the rates seen across Sefton (120.2) and the North West (136.1).

In general Meols residents have a lower than average level of emergency hospital admissions. Standardised Admission Ratios (SAR) for the ward 2010/11 to 2014/15 were:

▪ 108 – All Causes (Sefton: 116)

▪ 74 – Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (Sefton: 111)

▪ 116 - Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) (Sefton: 109)

▪ 87 – Hip Fractures (Sefton: 96)

▪ 109 - Myocardial Infarction (Sefton: 94)

▪ 90 – Stroke (Sefton: 91)

▪ 94 – Alcohol Harm (Sefton: 108)

▪ 121 – Intentional Self-harm (Sefton: 95)



Closely linked to the lower levels of poor health from birth of residents of the ward the levels of other disease and mortality rates are also lower.

For the period 2010 to 2014 Meols had a Standardised Mortality Ratio (SMR) of 85, lower than Sefton at 105.

The ward has a significantly better SMR than that of England, the ward falls within the bottom 40% of all areas nationally.

In relation to the occurrence of Cancer between 2010 and 2014, Meols had a Standardised Incidence Ratio (SIR) of 101 with the rate for Sefton at 95.



Index of Multiple Deprivation – Health & Disability

Three of the nine of Meols LSOAs are within the top 30% of affected areas nationally meaning residents of the ward are living in some of the most health and disability deprived areas of England. However, overall the picture of poor health has improved from 2010 across the ward.

The health and well-being of Meols is similar to Sefton as a whole. Residents of Meols tend to live longer lives in better health compared to more deprived areas of Sefton. Hospital admission and mortality rates are generally lower for adults in Meols and cancer incidence is similar to the national rate. For children: teenage conceptions and hospital admissions for injury are lower than the Sefton average.

Whilst Meols currently experiences better health than Sefton’s more deprived wards, changes to its population such as an increasing older population and rising deprivation may increase the health needs of this community.



2011 Census Flows – Migration

The 2011 Census indicated that 620 people immigrated into the Meols ward from outside of the ward when comparing current addresses to the address the previous year, with 122 moving within the ward, totalling 742 people moving in the area. 50% of these moved from other wards within Sefton, with a further 17% coming from the other North West areas. 48% of all people moving into the ward are aged between 20 and 54.

Whilst overall the pattern of in and out migration appeared relatively stable the net increase in the older population may put demands on services , specifically adults social care, with the reduction in younger people in the area having the opposite effect on services relating to this age group.

MOSAIC Profile

Experian’s Mosaic Public Sector product is designed to identify groupings of consumer behaviour for households and postcodes. The methodology used is unique to Experian, and has been developed over many years to create classifications using data from a wide variety of different sources and different levels of geography.

It is designed to describe the UK population in terms of their typical demographics, social, economic, cultural, and lifestyle behaviour. The population is classified into 66 ‘Types’ that identify groups of individuals or households that are as similar as possible to each other and as different as possible from any other group. These ‘Types’ group together hierarchically into 15 ‘Groups’.

In each type there are a number of key features which make each category distinctive and are useful to bear in mind when devising communications or delivery strategies targeted at them. These are subjective and are intended to highlight key issues rather than to be comprehensive. Clearly not every one of the Borough’s 178,000 households will match exactly to just one of 66 different Mosaic Types or 15 Mosaic Groups. The description should be recognised as “generic types”, examples to which individual cases only approximate with various degrees of exactness.

Overview

There are approximately 12,400 residents living in 5,500 households across Meols. Nearly three quarters (73%) of the households in the ward are classified as belonging to three of the 15 Mosaic Groups (E, F, and H) which are generally characterised as:

▪ E – Predominantly older families, with some adult children still living at home in suburban mid-range three bedroom homes. Long term residents of the ward. The internet is used for research within the households.

▪ F – Predominantly older residents, living in their own homes, with additional pensions to that of the state. Minimal miles driven and new technology is not liked.

▪ H - Predominantly younger households, in full-time employment on starter salaries. Living in private suburbs with affordable housing costs. They use the internet for buying and selling.

E 1831 33.0 14.1

F 1603 28.9 14.6

H 629 11.4 10.5



Generic MOSAIC Characteristics

The groups can be characterised further by socio-economic data within Mosaic. The groups are then ranked from 1 to 15 in terms of the predominance of the characteristic in the group.

For Meols:

Ages range across the groups, an average to lower income can be seen in the younger and middle age groups, with the older groups having a low income. Overall health is good.

Younger people are likely to have shorter residencies, unlike the middle age and older residents who stay in the area who are less likely to be environmentally conscious

Social media along with internet usage and smart phone ownership is split between high (younger) and average to low (middle age older).

Access to smart TV is split across groups the with younger and middle age residents tending to own them compared to the older group being less likely.

Length of residency is generally short for younger residents who have an average income compared to longer residencies middle age and older resident. Older group are less likely to have high numbers of children unlike the younger group.



The groups fall into the mid to higher council tax bands and are less likely to be rented properties.

Lower levels of education can be seen across the three groups with minimal links to age or income

Groups fall into the average to high Council Tax Bands, and tend to have higher property values, and more bedrooms.

All groups tend to have a lower level of education; however the younger are unlikely to remain in the area for long. Older groups are less likely to have high numbers of children in the household.



Notes on Data & Methodology

Output Area (OA) – are clusters of adjacent postcodes and are used as the basis of the Census data. They are made up of a minimum of 40 to 125 households. As of Census 2011 Sefton have 933 OAs, previous to this there were 937.

Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) – are built using adjoined OAs. They have between 400 and 1200 households. Currently Sefton has 189 LSOAs, previous to 2011 there were 190.

Middle Super Output Area (MSOA) – are built using LSOAs, and have a minimum household number of 2000 up to 6000. There are 38 MSOAs in Sefton this has not changed.

Ward – “administrative division of a city or borough that typically elects and is represented by a councillor or councillors” (Oxford Dictionary)

For further information relating to these geographies please see: https://www.ons.gov.uk/methodology/geography/ukgeographies/censusgeography

Population Estimates 2015 – annual population count estimates for wards in Sefton by single year of age and sex.

NINo estimation – “The data covers adult overseas nationals entering the UK and allocated a National Insurance Number (NINo) on the National Insurance Recording & Pay As You Earn System (NPS). Allocation of a NINo includes all reasons i.e. the figures cover benefit/tax credit recipients as well as workers.

All adult overseas nationals allocated a NINo are included, regardless of their length of stay in the UK. “ https://stat-

xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/jsf/dataCatalogueExplorer.xhtml

Please note that NINo data is provided by Middle Super Output Area (MSOA) which have been merged into best fit wards.

Index of Multiple Deprivation 2015 (IMD) measures levels of deprivation, across seven domains, nationally at Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) level. This provides a mean score and ranking allowing areas to be compared relatively to other areas. The IMD data is created by the Department for Communities and local Government. The higher the score the more affected the area. Sefton has 189 LSOAs as of

Census 2011. Please note that IMD data is provided by LSOAs which have been merged into best fit wards.

Experian Mosaic is a classification tool used to categorise the population according to the type of neighbourhood in which they live. It is constructed from a range of sources including the Census, consumer behaviour, financial and lifestyle factor data. It is a useful tool for gaining more in-depth insight into lifestyles and behaviour of the population. Mosaic segments the population into 15 Groups (A-O) and 66 Types.

Children Living in Low Income Families (CLIF) is defined as: Children living in families in receipt of either out of work, or tax credits whose reported income is less than 60 per cent of the median income or in receipt of IS or (Income-Based) JSA, divided by the total number of children in the area (determined by Child Benefit data) and is a proxy measure for child poverty. CLIF is a snapshot in time (31st August) of people within the area. Occupancy Rating (bedrooms) provides a measure of whether a household's accommodation is overcrowded or under occupied.

Universal Credits (UC) is a monthly payment for low income workers and those out of work. UC replaces six other benefit types (Job Seekers Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support, Child Tax Credits, Working Tax Credits and Housing Benefits). UC has been rolled out across England and was introduced in Sefton in June 2014. Please note that claims are per household meaning two people who resided together may claim the benefit, which will then be paid into one account. Please note that UC data is provided LSOAs which have been merged into best fit wards.

Working Tax Credits (WTC) is a benefit for working people on a low income (there are a number of stipulations which must be met to qualify for this benefit).

Child Tax Credits (CTC) is a benefit paid to parents or guardians residing with at least one child under the age of 16, it is a means tested benefit with again has specific criteria to meet before an award is made.

Child benefits is a social security payment paid to parents or guardians of children under the age of 16 or those who continue into further education until aged 18.

Housing Benefits (HB) is a means tested benefit for people on low-incomes to help pay their rent.

Council Tax Reduction (CTR) is help for people on low-incomes towards their council tax payments.

“The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets standards for the learning, development and care of children from birth to 5 years old. All schools and Ofsted-registered early years providers must follow the EYFS, including childminders, preschools, nurseries and school reception classes.” www.foundationyears.org.uk/eyfs-statutory-framework/

“Key Stage 1 is taught during Years 1 and 2 of primary school. Targets defined in the National Curriculum are assessed at the end of each Key Stage.” http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/parents/national_curriculum_key_stages/

“Key Stage 2 is taught during Years 3 to 6 of primary school. Targets defined in the National Curriculum are assessed at the end of each Key Stage.” http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/parents/national_curriculum_key_stages/

Progress 8 and Attainment 8

“Progress 8 aims to capture the progress a pupil makes from the end of primary school to the end of secondary school. It is a type of value added measure, which means that pupils’ results are compared to the actual achievements of other pupils with the same prior attainment.

The performance measures are designed to encourage schools to offer a broad and balanced curriculum with a focus on an academic core at key stage 4, and reward schools for the teaching of all their pupils, measuring performance across 8 qualifications. Every increase in every grade a pupil achieves will attract additional points in the performance tables.

Progress 8 is calculated for individual pupils solely in order to calculate a school’s Progress 8 score, and there is no need for schools to share individual Progress 8 scores with their pupils.

Schools should continue to focus on which qualifications are most suitable for individual pupils, as the grades pupils achieve will help them reach their goals for the next stage of their education or training.

Attainment 8 measures the achievement of a pupil across 8 qualifications including mathematics (double weighted) and English (double weighted), 3 further qualifications that count in the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) measure and 3 further qualifications that can be GCSE qualifications (including EBacc subjects) or technical awards from the DfE approved list.” Https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/systemuploads/attachment_data/file/583857/Progress_8_school_performance_measure_Jan_17.pdf

Census Travel to Work data calculations were based on best-fit LSOAs as the data is not readily available at ward level.

Fly tipping is the illegal dumping of waste; items dumped can include household furniture, building material and vehicle parts.
