Part II: Challenges of Tackling Deprivation at the Local Level
Policy Challenges Deprivation Policies often directed Often easier to Tackle Deprived by Central Government Individuals over Place Deprivation Getting engagement V buy-in v stigmatising Constraints on Funding Limited Access to National & Resources Databases, GDPR & Disclosure
Deprived Places & People: Where you Live Matters, as Well as Who you Are Place A: Not Deprived Place B: Deprived Person’s circumstances Improve, may relocate Churn (a policy challenge) Replaced by ‘deprived’ Individual/family
Part III: Case Studies
Supporting Families Two Phases (STEP 1 & II): • STEP 1 2012 and 2014/15 targeted approx 600 per annum. • STEP 2 to 2020 targeting over a 1,000 families in 2015/16 and 2016/17.
Skills & Employment Driven Case Studies • Construction Skills Fund (CFS) Sector specific • Solent LEP – Centre of Excellence in Engineering & Manufacturing Advanced Skills Training (CEMAST) • Hampshire Careers Partnership and NCOP Funding • ESF Solent Traineeship Engagement and Participation (STEP) Programme • ESF Solent LEP & Enterprise M3 NEET Projects • European Social Fund (ESF) Projects - skills support for the unemployed • Economic Development
Summary • Hampshire as a whole has low levels of deprivation, BUT has concentrated pockets across the County, but focused in a few large neighbourhoods • Deprivation based on the IMD is good at locating relative place deprivation, but cannot identify deprived individuals – often hidden deprivation • Although the IMD is about deprived places, most policies target individuals/families • Hampshire County Council departments make a major contribution to easing deprivation and preventing people from falling into deprivation through its skills & education programmes which increase employability and mobility. • Economic development work with local businesses in creating employment opportunities that can be tapped into by all residents including those from deprived areas.
