Transcript Children & Young People’s Plan Needs Assessment

Children and young
people’s plan profile
September 2011
Important
Key findings are focused on
trends rather than snapshots
Aims and objectives
• To update key findings in the 2009-12 and 2010
refreshed children and young people’s plan.
• Further information underpinning key data in this needs
analysis is available on Camden’s data observatory –
www.camdendata.info
Camden continues to be one of the most
polarised boroughs in terms of wealth and
deprivation
•
40% of children in Camden are living in poverty (21% nationally) – in real number
terms this represents about 15,000 children. 68% of these are within single parent
households (NI 116, 2008 data).
•
Around 28,000 residents in Camden are in receipt of housing benefit and council tax
benefit – this reflects roughly 27% of all households. 30% of households with a
claimant are families and single parent households make up over a third.
•
3,450 lone parents were on out-of-work income support in August 2009. 97% of all
lone parents on income support were female and 60% had two or more dependent
children. 11% of female lone parents on income support were aged under 25.
•
18% of families eligible for the child care element of working tax credit actually claim
it. This is in line with national figures but lower than a number of other London
boroughs.
A diverse school population, with high levels of
mobile pupils, particularly in the primary phase
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
70% of school age children in Camden (excluding those who are privately educated) attend
Camden maintained schools (Jan 2010 – as a % of 2009 mid year estimates (MYE)).
2010 estimates of those attending private/independent provision based on 2009 MYE are almost
3,000 11-15 year olds i.e. 32% of estimated Camden secondary aged pupils and an estimated
4,500 4 -10 year olds i.e. 29% of Camden primary aged pupils.
5,206 children who live in other London boroughs also attend Camden schools (1,044 primary 9%, 4,162 secondary – 42%).
11% of children in Camden schools are considered ‘mobile’ as they arrive after 1st October in
Year 1 in primary (17% mobile) or Year 7 for secondary (8%).
The school population is more ethnically diverse than the borough population with 76% of pupils
in Camden primary and 72% in Camden secondary schools from black or minority ethnic groups.
61% of our primary school pupils and 48% of secondary school pupils speak English as an
additional language. Over 100 languages are spoken in Camden schools.
4,526 pupils in Camden schools are identified as refugees i.e. 26% of the primary/ secondary
school roll.
41% of primary school pupils and 32% for secondary pupils receive free school meals compared
to London figures of 24% primary and 23% secondary (Jan 2010).

Nearly a quarter of pupils have special
educational needs and/ or disabilities
•5074 pupils (23%) have special educational needs in Camden schools, which is in line with national
figures. This includes 835 pupils (4%) who have a statement of special educational need.
•Far fewer pupils have moderate learning difficulty as their primary need than the national average (12%
Camden; 24% nationally), and instead behavioural, emotional and social difficulty (particularly in secondary
(39%; 30% nationally) and speech, language and communication needs in primary (36%; 27% nationally)
have a higher representation.

•In January 2011, Camden maintained the statement for 991 pupils, down from a peak in January 2008 of
1,046. 71% of these (702) were in Camden maintained provision compared to 61% in 2008.
Good progress in a number of health areas
but immunisation levels need to improve
Infant mortality
Below London and England averages at 3.5 per 1000 (2007-09 data).
Differences between wards have narrowed in recent years.
Smoking during pregnancy
Rates rose to 5% in 2009/10 (4.7% the previous year) however this remained
below London and well below England average. 2010/11 figures to date
remain at 5%.
Breastfeeding
Rates of breastfeeding at 6-8 weeks are much higher than London or England
averages – 76% in 2009/10 compared to 65% and 45% respectively. 2010/11
year to date figures show this rate is being maintained.
Immunisations (MMR)
In 2009/10, 73% of children in Camden received the MMR by their second
birthday, well below London (82%) and England (88%) averages. 2010/11
figures show some improvement, with 77% receiving the MMR at age 2.
High quality sport
The expectation is that pupils access 120 minutes of PE per week during
curriculum time. 84% of all pupils are now accessing 120 minutes per week
and over the past three years Camden has improved and narrowed the gap
with the national participation rate of 86%. Camden primary schools now have
an average of 128 minutes of PE on the curriculum compared with a national
average of 123 minutes.
High levels of obesity in Camden
schools
Each year children in reception and year 6 classes have their height and
weight measured. Latest data (2009/10) shows that 11.3% of reception pupils
are obese, a slight decrease on previous year (11.6%). The figure is 21.2% in
the year 6 cohort, an increase on the previous year (20.1%). Current rates are
higher than England for both reception year and year 6. In both years, more
prevalent in boys than girls, this is consistent with national findings.

Overall trend is a reduction in under
18 conception rates
Teenage pregnancy rates in Camden have historically been high compared to national
averages. The 2009 rates were the lowest ever in Camden at 28.4 per 1,000 15-17 year
old females compared to 38.8 in 2008. Camden’s rate is now the second lowest in Inner
London (2008 figure was 4th lowest).

Increasing numbers of young people being
referred for substance misuse services
In January 2011 a refresh of the Camden young people’s substance
misuse needs assessment was published. Key findings are shown below:
Referral
•
•
Parental
substance
misuse
•
•
New referrals are increasing year on year, from 46 in 2005/6
compared to 168 in 2008/9 (tier 3 interventions).
A large proportion of referrals were young offenders: YOS was
the main referral source for 2008/9 (72%) followed by
Education (13%).
The total number of children under 18 affected by parental
substance misuse is not exactly known but a low estimate is
4,176 children and a high estimate 6,682.
25-27% of adults in treatment are parents.
Cannabis and alcohol use are
predominant
Drug

•
8.1% of the 1366 offenders arrested for drugs offences were aged
17 or under in 2007/8.
The total number of offences committed by young people was 814,
of which 155 were drug related and 2 were alcohol related in 2008/9.
The majority of clients in treatment at Tier 3 throughout 2008/9 were
either primary cannabis (65%) or alcohol users (34%).
The proportion of young people using a primary Class A drug is low.
Between April 2005 and March 2009 there were a total of 83 hospital
admissions amongst children aged less than 18, in which alcohol
was specifically mentioned as a cause. Of these, 54 were amongst
girls and 29 amongst boys.
Reducing referral rates for
children in need
Referral rate for children in need (CIN) per 10,000 of local under 18 population has
reduced from 799 in March 2007 to 568 in March 2011.

Increasing rates of new child
protection plans
•
Camden has consistently had a higher rate of new child protection plans (per 10,000
of the under 18 population) compared with inner London and national averages.
During 2010/11 there were 267 new plans, a rate of 64.3 compared to 210 new plans
and a rate of 53 in 2006/7.

22% of all new protection plans in the first six months of 2010/11 were for children
aged under 1; this is much higher than Camden’s 2009/10 figure of 18% and also
higher than the national average for 2009/10 (17.5%).
Variety of reasons for becoming
subject to a child protection plan
• There has been an increase in children being subject to a repeat protection
plan over the last 5 years. In 2010/11, 16% (42) of all 267 new protection
plans were repeat plans, compared to 10.5% in 2006/7.
• Between 2007/8 and 2009/10 there was a reduction in the proportion of new
protection plans where domestic violence was identified as a factor – 68%
down to 52%. However, with a figure of 77%, 2010/11 saw a marked
increase.
• There was an increase in the percentage of referrals with abuse and neglect
recorded as the main assessed need at the point of referral, was 37% in
2010/11, compared to 30% in 2009/10.
Reducing rates of looked after
children (LAC)
• Over the past five years there has been a marked reduction in both the number and
rate (per 10,000 children aged under 18) who are looked after. In March 2007 there
were 344 LAC, a rate of 85.5. In March 2011 there were 276 LAC, a rate of 66.5.

Some groups over-represented in
the looked after children cohort
•
•
•
Since 2008/9 there has been an imbalance between genders in
Camden’s care population, with boys over-represented; further
analysis shows that this is even more evident for the 10 to 15
years group (within this cohort as at 31/03/2011 there were 62%
boys and 38% girls compared to 57% boys and 43% girls for the
overall care population).
The ethnicity of the care population has remained the same, in
that overall, 163 (70%) children come from BME backgrounds
(this includes children from mixed ethnic and white other
backgrounds).
There has been an increase in the number of 13 to 17 year olds
(inclusive) coming in to care (28% in 2006/7 and 51% in 2010/11)
Progress in attaining a ‘good level’ of overall
development in the foundation stage profile
Early years foundation stage profile (EYFSP) - age 5
Sustained high level of pupils attaining a ‘good’ level of overall development from 50%
in 2009 to 58% in 2011 and is now above 2010 national (56%). The gap between the
lowest 20% and the median has narrowed to 30.3% but remains slightly behind 2010
national (32.7%).

Recent fall in attainment at age 7
Key stage 1 – age 7 (the age group where
Camden pupils achieve below the national
average).
Nationally, % achieving expected levels (level

such, the recent dip in Camden results shows
a widening gap from 2010 national results.

Post-16 attainment: Level 3 attainment at key stage 5 has increased steadily in recent
years, with the gap between the national average and Camden for points per candidate
narrowing (gap was 88 points in 2006 and was 50 in 2010 – representing an average
increase of 1 A level grade), and Camden remaining above the national for points per
entry (218 Camden; 214 national).

‘Able’ pupils attain in line with national
averages across all key stages
Key stage 2
23% of pupils achieved level 5+ in English and mathematics
in 2010, which was the same as in 2009 and also the same
as national results in 2010 too.
Key stage 4
26% of pupils achieved 3 or more A*-A grades, which is the
highest proportion in 5 years and also represents a 2%
increase since 2009.
Key stage 5
10% of pupils achieved 3 or more A grades in the A levels
(same for last 3 years); this is below the national results,
which were 13% in 2010.
Gifted and
talented pupils
There were 2410 pupils on the gifted and talented register in
January 2011. This represents
•10% of primary roll (9% nationally)
•12% of secondary roll (15% nationally)
•7% of special school roll.
Gaps in attainment between Camden averages for key
groups exist with gaps narrowing in some cases and
widening in others, mirroring national trends
The key groups of concern are:
• Boys
• Pupils eligible for free school meals (FSM)
• Pupils on the special educational needs (SEN) register
• ‘Mobile’ pupils

children (LAC)
While the standards reached by LAC at each key stage are well
below Camden averages, results in 2010 for children looked after by
Camden compare favourably in a number of areas with 2010 national
figures for LAC and previous results.
Areas where Camden LAC outperformed LAC nationally are:
• Reading at KS1, while writing was in line with national results
• English, mathematics and science at KS2, with all pupils making 2
levels of progress from KS1 in English, and almost all pupils making
2 levels of progress in mathematics.
At KS4, Camden LAC underperformed LAC nationally in all areas.
Mixed attainment levels across different black and minority
ethnic groups, with recent progress in some narrowing of the
gaps between these groups and the Camden average
The key groups of concern are:
•Bangladeshi pupils
•Black Caribbean pupils
•White British pupils entitled to FSM
•Congolese pupils
•Somali pupils

NB: *2010 KS2 excludes boycott schools. Some groups have relatively low numbers of pupils e.g. Congolese and should be interpreted with caution
Increasing levels of attendance across both primary
and secondary schools over the last three years
Primary
Improving overall – from 93.5% in 2007/8 to 94.2% in 2009/10. Gap with
national average (94.7%) continues to narrow from -1.2% to -0.5% in the last
3 years. Now ranked 7th of 11 similar authorities compared to 10th in 2007/8.
Secondary
Big improvement i.e. +1.5% since 2007/8 (91.9%) to 93.4% in 2009/10, and
now better than national (93.2% i.e. an improvement of +0.4% since 2007/8).
Now ranked 6th of 10 similar authorities compared to 8th in 2007/8. In addition,
persistent absence has fallen from 6.5% to 3.3% over the same period.
Looked after
children (LAC)
Rates are improving (19.7% absence in 2006/7, 14% in 2008/9).
Vulnerable groups
Groups with relatively high proportions of persistent absentees and relatively
low attendance respectively in 2009/10 are:
 pupils entitled to FSM
 on the SEN register, particularly those identified with BESD (behaviour,
emotional and social difficulties)
 white UK entitled to free school meals.
Secondary schools only: white UK not entitled to free school meals and those
in Year 10 and Year 11.
These are largely the same as identified in 2008/9.
Low levels of exclusions – both permanent and
fixed term exclusions
Fixed-term
exclusions
The proportion of pupils receiving fixed-term exclusions has remained
stable in primary schools and continued to decrease in secondary
schools:
• For primary schools, this rate remained at 0.7% in 2009/10
• For secondary schools, this rate decreased from 5.8% in 2008/9 to
5.4% in 2009/10.
The proportion of fixed-term exclusions incidents has decreased from
1.3% to 1.1% in primary schools and from 8.8% to 8.4% in secondary
schools in 2009/10.
Permanent
exclusions
The number of permanent exclusions in primary schools remains low;
whilst in secondary schools, the number decreased from 12 to 11 in
2009/10.
Increasing numbers of young people at post 16
attain level 2 and 3 qualifications
The proportion of young people in Camden (who were in Camden aged 15)
reaching attainment level 2 and level 3 by age 19 has risen, against a year on
year increase nationally.

High levels of young people staying in
education, employment or training
Year 11 pupils
•
The proportion of year 11 pupils staying on in education or training remains steady at 94%
(compared to 95% in 2008/09).
Year 13 pupils
•
The proportion of year 13 pupils going on to higher education, employment or training also
remain steady, at 89% (the same as in 2008/9).
•
753 pupils (74%) went to university, though 142 of these planned on having a gap year before
starting their studies in autumn 2011.
Youth unemployment
•
The monthly claimant count shows a lower % of young people aged 16-24 were unemployed in
March 2011 (11.5%) compared with March 2010 (20.4%) and a reduction on March 2009
(16.9%). The gap between the rate for 16-24s and all ages has also fallen over the same period
(14.5% higher in March 2010, 6.2% higher in March 2011).
Care leavers
•
More care leavers are going to university: 17 in 2010, compared to 3 in 2004.
Alternative provision: Alongside the 9 school sixth forms, Camden also has an FE college (Westminster
Kingsway) and number of work-based learning providers.
There are variations in the number of young
people not in education, employment and
training (NEETS)
•
The number of NEET young people varies through the year; though for the last few years we have
maintained low figures, equating to around 250-300 young people. There is great deal of mobility
within this figure, with 33% of the March 2011 NEET cohort being ‘long term NEET’ (more than 200
days) (compared to 34% in Inner London).
The proportion of 16-18 year olds in Camden who are NEET has increased recently from 5.5% to
6.4%, and this is now above the national and London average. The number of NEETs is lower, and
the increase in proportion is the result of changes to the wider cohort (a reduction in cohort size), e.g.
young people moving away or attending education outside of the borough.

Increasing number of young people
engaging with positive activities
• In 2010/11 youth services ‘reached’ 38% of young people aged 13 to 19,
exceeding the target of 35% and continuing the year on year increase.
This represented 5,838 young people.
• Of these young people, 3,049 (52%) went on to participate in 5 or more
sessions of positive activities. This is a slight reduction on the previous
year.

Reducing trend in the number of first time
entrants to the youth justice system
•
•
Despite an increase in the past 12 months, when compared to 2006/7, the 5 year trend
for first time entrants is down, with local recording showing a reduction from 214 to 177.
The official measure for first time entrants is as a rate per 100,000 10 to 17 year olds.
The Camden trend is again downward and currently in line with London and slightly
above the England average.

Re-offending is expressed as a rate of offences per 100 young offenders.
Camden’s baseline in 2007/8 stood at 1.49. This reduced in 2008/9 to 1.37 but
rose to 1.53 in 2009/10. 2010/11 data shows a reduction, standing at 1.25. The
latest comparator is 2008/9 and stood at 1.06 for London and 1.05 for England
More young offenders are engaging in
education, training or employment (ETE)
• In 2009/10 the proportion of young offenders engaging in ETE was 74%, above the
England average of 73% but below the London average of 77%. This has risen to
81.5% in 2010/11 and we anticipate this will remain above the England average and
close the gap on London when comparator data is published.
