Local Migration Profile project
Driven by partner agencies struggling to find and use migration data to prepare for migrants in their client groups
Flexible design
Regular outputs combining available data for each local authority area and subregions
Send me everything
How many immigrants are
there?
What’s unique?
Non-specialist audience
Compares different sources
Change over time and space
Compares locality to the regional ‘average’
Regular updates to include new data
Mainstream service applications
General migration background
(internal briefings, media)
Population profiling requirements
JSNA (health), LEA and EIA (LAs)
Targeting specific groups
burglary prevention (housing services), engaging with minority communities (police and fire services)
Research support
local studies (arts and leisure), choosing research sample sites (flooding)
Migrant service applications
Needs assessments for new services
(Red Cross destitution work, Barnardo’s scoping needs of asylum children)
Evidence in grant applications (Police)
Planning for existing services
(languages for translation materials, UKBA LITs)
Improving services
(asylum dispersal sites, improving LA support for vulnerable groups following inspection)
Migration trends in South Yorkshire (1)
Different causes of long-term population changeB/D/R mainly growing due to indigenous birthsS due to international migration and births to non-UK mothers
Decrease in net international migration everywhere?ONS predicted in all 4 areas: immigration dropping, emigration rising in future – but latest UK statistics show stable immigration and less emigration than expected

Gaps in the data
Particular migrant groups:Those joining families already hereFurther education and ESOL learnersPeople with no recourse to public fundsPeople leaving the UK (and by what route)
Alternative migration indicators:Local servicesRegistered employers and education providersLocal research
What’s coming up in 2011?
New inclusion of pupil data in our profiles
Less data? Fewer services producing data, localism drive reducing targets and local government reporting requirements
Ending of transitional arrangements for A8 countries will end WRS data
Net migration target reducing entry through formal routes (work, study, asylum) – other routes of entry?
External influences on migration patterns – A8 economies, north Africa displacement
Our role as data users
Balancing risk…
limited access to sensitive data
political sensitivity and gatekeeping
how much data should we collect?…and benefit:
a more informed ‘debate’ on migration
improved data expertise among migrant services
bridging policy, practice, data and research - better services for whole communities
