Sustainable Community Strategy 2011 – 2014 The Coventry Partnership is the Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) for Coventry and represents partners from the public, private, community and voluntary sectors. The Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) identifies what more needs to be done to continue to improve the general quality of life for everyone in the city with a partnership approach. The current version of the SCS was reviewed and approved by the Coventry Partnership Board in June 2011, and the responsibility for its performance management sits with the Coventry Local Public Service Board (CLPSB).

Sustainable Community Strategy 2011-2014 2012/13 End of Year Report

Coventry, proud to be a city that works… This report provides a summary of progress made during 2012/13 in relation to the four key priorities of the Sustainable Community Strategy 2011-2014. For each priority there is a summary scorecard which illustrates progress to date, describes the activities that have contributed towards achieving the overall objectives, as well as most recent performance data including comparator information where available in relation to key headline indicators. During 2012/13, the Coventry Partnership has focused upon developing an understanding of the likely impact of welfare reform changes on the people of Coventry and the city’s economy. Partners have worked together to provide advice and support to people who are most likely to be affected by the changes. Information has been made available in local communities through road shows, pop up shops, a DVD and an advice booklet. Other priorities have continued to be delivered through existing partnership groups including the Economy, Learning, Skills and Employment (ELSE) theme group and the Coventry Children and Young People’s Strategic Partnership (CYPSP). The Coventry Partnership’s work to make the city more vibrant has been continued through the Coventry and Warwickshire Champions and the recently formed Health and Wellbeing Board will take forward the priority to reduce health inequalities in the city.

… to create growth, jobs and enterprise Following a prolonged recession, the UK economy is starting to see signs of recovery. The country’s gross domestic product (GDP), a measure of economic output, grew by 0.3% in January to March 2013 and by 0.6% in April to June 2013. Overall GDP, however, remains 3.3% below the pre-recession level. Locally, figures from the Chamber of Commerce suggest that business confidence is improving, with 56% of manufacturers and 68% of firms in the service sector expecting turnover to rise. This year has seen a decrease in the number of people claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance, but it is estimated that there were 7,000 fewer residents in work in 2012 than before the recession, at a time when the local population has increased. This is, partly, due to mismatch between the skills and the jobs available in the local jobs market as a result of the structural changes in the local economy. The Partnership organised a range of activities during the year to help to raise the aspirations of young people, for example, Your Future Your Choice which saw major employers across the region come together to run a careers workshop for Year 8 and 9 students and the Coventry Boot Camp which helps to equip young people with the skills that they need for work. Partners have also been engaged in tackling the impact of welfare reform, through advice and support, such as a job fair specifically for households affected by the benefits cap. Delivery of this priority is led by the Economy, Learning, Skills and Employment (ELSE) theme group of the Coventry Partnership. This group is also responsible for delivering the employability priorities of the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership (CWLEP) business plan.

… to make the city more vibrant The Coventry Partnership’s work to make the city more vibrant has led to the creation of the Coventry and Warwickshire Story. This work has now continued through the Coventry and Warwickshire Champions, a network of businesses, organisations and individuals that are proud, positive and passionate about the place. In 2012, the city celebrated as a co-host for the London 2012 Olympic Games, bringing Olympic football, Godiva Awakes and many other events to the city for residents and visitors alike. The Olympics helped boost tourism and was also good for businesses in the city who received Olympic contracts during the period. The volunteering legacy of the Olympics is being secured, with the transformation of Coventry Ambassadors into a social enterprise. The Partnership played an important role in organising the Paralympic Flame Celebration at Millennium Place, which saw many local people engaging in Paralympic sport sessions. The city centre offer has fallen behind neighbouring cities, impacting on our ability to attract businesses to relocate to Coventry and to improve our retail offer. Through public realm work and the plan to kickstart the development of the new Friargate business quarter, plans are in place to redevelop and enhance the city centre.

… to reduce health inequalitiesCoventry is a city of contrasts: a person living in the least deprived part of the city is likely to live a longer and healthier life than a person living in the most deprived part of the city. The Marmot Review demonstrated that variations in health can result from social inequalities, and therefore, improving health requires addressing the wider socio-economic determinants. In 2012/13, alcohol-related hospital admissions increased. 60% of alcohol users and 13.5% of drug users successfully completed treatment, but more work is required to support users. There has been a reduction in people who say they smoke, while stop smoking services report an increase in the number of successful quitters. Obesity continues to be a concern, and there has been no improvement from previous years. Recent campaigns to promote healthier lifestyles include Change4Life and Coventry on the move. The priority to reduce health inequalities is being taken forward by the new Health and Wellbeing Board. A new indicator set and agreed targets have been drawn up by Public Health in consultation with Clinical Commissioning Groups, Council directorates and the Community Safety Partnership, to help monitor progress towards the Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

… to improve children and young people’s education and opportunitiesCoventry has set a target for all children and young people in the city to attend a good or outstanding school by September 2015. Last November, Ofsted, the schools inspectorate, reported that only 42% of Coventry children attended a primary school judged good or outstanding, placing Coventry in last place, and for secondary, eight in ten (33rd place). Following sustained efforts by schools and the Council to implement a revised Education and Improvement Strategy, schools have improved. As of 1 July 2013, 63.6% of pupils are now attending a primary school judged to be good or outstanding, and for secondary, 81.4%. There is a commitment to continue and accelerate this improvement, particularly in the primary school sector.Children and young people are doing better in their exams and assessments: 9 out of 10 are making the expected rate of progress from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2; 58.7% are achieving five good GCSEs including English and Maths – in-line with the England average; and 97.7% are passing their A-Level exams. Coventry is working to safely reduce the number of looked after children by investing in early intervention programmes. Data for 2012/13, however, suggests that the demand for social care services continue to increase. The rates of social care referrals, children subject to a child protection plan and looked after children remain well above that of similar local authorities. A particular focus has been on improving adoption rates in Coventry, and the adoption service has improved the way in which it tracks and plans for adoptions, which should result in improvements for 2014/15. Delivery of this priority is led by the Coventry Children and Young People’s Strategic Partnership (CYPSP), through the Children and Young People’s Plan 2011-2014. The CYPSP acts as the relevant theme group for the Coventry Partnership.

Coventry, proud to be a city that works to…

Create growth, jobs and enterprise particularly through advanced manufacturing and green technologies

Executive summary

Growth Following a prolonged recession, the UK economy is starting to see signs of recovery. The country’s gross domestic product (GDP), a measure of economic output, grew by 0.3% in January to March 2013 and by 0.7% in April to June 2013; a total of 1.5% growth in the year since April to June 2012. Overall GDP, however, remains 3.3% below the pre-recession level. Locally, figures from the Chamber of Commerce suggest that business confidence is improving, with 56% of manufacturers and 68% of firms in the service sector expecting turnover to rise. Coventry’s gross value added (GVA) figures, a measure used to assess the contribution of an area to the economy, was £18,281 per person in 2011, compared to £21,349 in England. Coventry compares poorly with neighbouring areas, for instance, Birmingham (£19,928), Solihull (£21,277), Warwickshire (£20,955) and Leicester (£20,404). It is of particular concern that GVA has increased in all of the above areas since 2010, with the exception of Coventry, which fell by £12. GVA in Coventry is £612 below the peak of £18,893 in 2007. Jobs This year has seen a decrease in the number of people claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA), but it is estimated that there were 7,000 fewer residents in work in 2012 than before the recession, at a time when the local population has increased. This is, partly, due to mismatch between the skills and the jobs available in the local jobs market as a result of the structural changes in the local economy. Welfare reform During 2012/13 the Coventry Partnership has particularly focused upon understanding the impact of Welfare Reform and benefit changes on the people of Coventry and the city’s economy. An evaluation group has been established to understand what those impacts are and to look at how partners can collectively support this. Partners have been involved in the delivery of a series of road shows and pop up shops around the city to help to raise awareness and inform people of the information and support available to them. City Deal approval The government has approved the Coventry and Warwickshire City Deal bid, Re-engineering Engineering: Raising our G-AME, which will help eliminate the area’s engineering skills shortage, encouraging businesses to invest in research and development, and raising the proportion of workforce employed in advanced engineering.

Support people to develop skills needed to access jobs and progress to higher skilled jobs

Jobs in the city In July 2013, 4.3% of residents claimed Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA). This compares to 4.5% in March 2013, and 4.9% in March 2012. In the twelve months to March 2013, 62.5% of the working aged resident population is employed, down from 64.9% in the twelve months to December 2012. The large student population (15.8%) lowers the city’s employment rate. Coventry has the fifth largest student population of any metropolitan area, after Manchester (21.2%), Newcastle upon Tyne (20.5%), Sheffield (16.3%) and Liverpool (15.9%). In 2012, the average pay in Coventry was £21,300, compared to £21,794 in England. The gap has narrowed since 2008 – but between 2011 and 2012, Coventry incomes have grown slower than the region. Skills in the city Annual Population Survey estimates show that two-thirds of Coventry’s working age residents are qualified to NVQ Level 2 or above3, similar to the regional average but lower than the England average. Half of residents are qualified to level 3+ and just over a quarter (27%) are qualified to level 4+. Developing skills The Skills and Employability Group of the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and the Economy, Learning, Skills and Employment Group of the Coventry Partnership is working to develop strategies to address the mismatch between skills and jobs in the local economy. This includes:

• the Council’s new Skills and Growth Team, which is supporting those with no skills, supporting those with higher skills and supporting those in work;

• working in partnership with Work Programme providers and businesses to help prepare people for work;

• looking at new ways of interacting with people registered as looking for work in the Job Shop including offering training and employability courses; and

• the Coventry Boot Camp to prepare disadvantaged 16-19 year olds with skills and experience for work.

Job fair for households affected by the benefit cap On 15 August 2013, JobCentre Plus held a job fair specifically for households affected by the welfare benefit cap. 60 people attended the fair – and eight people were able to find work on the day.

The Job Shop offers workshops on: job search skills; writing application forms; interview techniques; and personal development such as self-confidence and self-esteem. On average, the Job Shop receives 160 visitors per day, and has registered 1,929 new jobseekers in its first three months of operation.

Welfare reform The Coventry Partnership is helping local residents to understand what the impacts of welfare reform will mean to them. A series of road shows, pop up shops and surgeries were provided. Representatives from Whitefriars Housing, Coventry City Council, Citizens Advice Bureau, Coventry Law Centre, Midland Heart and Job Centre Plus were at hand to inform families how they can protect themselves from financial hardship as their benefits change. This has helped residents to develop the skills to manage their income more effectively, and in finding paid work. The Partnership has also provided residents with a new free advice booklet and DVD.

Create the conditions for growth and enterprise in the city’s economy

New business registrations The number of new business start-ups is an indication of the level of enterprise in the economy. The latest data is for 2011 when there were 1,125 new VAT-registered businesses in Coventry, an increase from 965 in 2010 and 855 in 2009. The number of new start-ups in 2011 was greater than the number of closures for the first time since 2008. Coventry’s rate of 44 new business registrations per 10,000 population aged 16+ lags behind the 56 registrations seen in Warwickshire and the England average, but it compares favourably to the rate of 43 in the West Midlands Region, and the All Metropolitan Areas rate of 40. Creating the conditions for growth Businesses invested £172 million into the city in 2012/13. This is much higher than the Job Strategy target of £85 million, and is a reflection of several successes, with investment projects stimulated by grant awards to businesses and significant company investments at key sites including Arena Park in Longford and Warwickshire Shopping Park in Binley. Job creation In 2012/13, 2,401 jobs were created by businesses, compared to a target of 2,000. This was helped by strong industrial activity in the automotive sector, and a suite of investment projects including funding from the European Regional Development Fund, and the Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain Initiative. Driving growth: supporting business innovation in Coventry & Warwickshire A report by Centre for Cities, a research and policy institute, identified the key characteristics of the local economy. The report found that the city’s growing dependence on the automotive sector and a few large employers made the city less resilient to economic shocks in the 20th century, but the sustained specialisation in automotive manufacturing has helped the area accumulate a significant amount of specialist knowledge and expertise. This is reflected in the high levels of research and development, particularly in the manufacturing sector. The Centre for Cities found that employment in R&D in Coventry and Warwickshire (4,700) in 2010 is double that of comparator LEP areas (Greater Birmingham and Solihull [2,390], Leicester and Leicestershire [1,910] and the North East [1,840]), and the total in-house R&D expenditure per business of £15.1k compares favourably to just £2.5k in Greater Birmingham and Solihull and a national average of £6.8k. This high level of investment into R&D has meant that in 2010-11, firms in the sub-region have been granted more patents per employee (15 successful patent applications per 100,000 employees) compared to the national average of 10.7.

Create a diverse range of businesses, jobs and apprenticeships to meet the aspirations and potential of all Coventry’s residents

Young people The Partnership has made addressing employment opportunities for young people one of its key aims, as this group was worst-hit following the recession. In particular, long-term unemployment amongst young people is a growing concern: the number of 18-24 year olds claiming Jobseekers Allowance (JSA) for over twelve months has increased from 130 claimants in December 2010 to 400 in December 2012; and remains high at 390 in June 2013. This is not unique to Coventry; similar trends are found nationally. 16 to 18 year olds CSWP Ltd, the careers guidance company, tracks the destinations of 16-18 year olds. In December 2012, there were 590 NEETs (5.2%) in Coventry, down from 680 (6.0%) in 2011 and 610 (5.8%) in 2010. From 2014, the Raising the Participation Age regulations will require 17/18 year olds to participate in education/training. This is expected to reduce NEETs.

18 to 24 year olds Last December, 2,405 residents (5.7%) aged 18-24 claimed JSA. This is higher than 4.3% in Warwickshire but lower than the regional (8.1%) and national (6.6%) rates. Note that Coventry’s high student population helps keep this rate low. The JSA claimant count among 18-24 year olds has fallen by 490 claimants from December 2011 and is now lower than the 2010 baseline (6.1%). Your Future, Your Choice On 27 November 2012, a network of 35 businesses across the Midlands joined forces to raise the career aspirations of 1,200 of the region’s young people. The event saw major employers across the region come together to run a range of career workshops for Year 8 and 9 students. This included interactive workshops and taster sessions from sectors including engineering and manufacturing, retail and leisure, professional services and construction. Coventry Boot Camp In 2012/13, the Coventry Partnership held the third Coventry Boot Camp. Through team building activities, physical challenges, community work, and CV-writing and interview skills, thirteen 16-19 year olds were equipped with the right skills and attitude for work. After successfully completing the programme, five candidates secured paid job opportunities, and an additional three obtained final interviews for paid positions. The first Boot Camp of 2013/14 took place from 5 to 16 August 2013.

Coventry, proud to be a city that works to…

Make the city more vibrant Executive summary One of the priorities for the Coventry Partnership is to have a more vibrant city which offers equality of access for all communities to cultural sport and physical activities; raises Coventry’s cultural profile & reputation with local communities, visitors & tourists; and develops the city centre as a vibrant cultural centre. In the 2013 Household Survey, 95% of people surveyed agree that their neighbourhood was a place where people from different backgrounds get on well together, while 64% said that they were proud of Coventry. This report contains examples of some of the ways in which partners are contributing to making the city more vibrant. London 2012 Olympic Games In 2012 the city celebrated as a co-host for the London 2012 Olympic Games, bringing Olympic football, Godiva Awakes and many other events to the city for residents and visitors alike. The impact of the Olympics was to boost tourism and was also good for businesses in the city who received Olympic contracts during the period. Find out more about how Coventry celebrated London 2012 at www.coventry.gov.uk/london2012. Further information on the impact of the Olympics on Coventry is available in the Olympic Impact Assessment Report November 2012 at http://goo.gl/eV3IG. Coventry Ambassadors In 2013, the volunteering legacy of London 2012 has been given a boost, with Coventry Ambassadors transformed into a social enterprise in partnership with Coventry University. This will also help the city secure future bids for major sporting events. Public Realm The city centre offer has fallen behind neighbouring cities, impacting on the city’s ability to attract businesses to relocate to Coventry. Using European Regional Development Fund matched funding, the city centre has been transformed through public realm work such as the new Broadgate Square, and the Coventry Partnership has made use of the space for all sorts of events. In the next few years, the planned move of the Council to Friargate will help kickstart Coventry’s new business quarter development, encouraging others to relocate to Coventry, and helping to attract better quality retailers into the city centre. Coventry and Warwickshire Champions The Coventry and Warwickshire Story was launched in March 2012. This brings together businesses, organisations and individuals across the area to help to influence how the area is perceived and portrayed.

Improve equality of access so that all communities can participate in cultural, sports and physical activities Community Cohesion In 2013, 95% of people surveyed agree that their neighbourhood was a place where people from different backgrounds get on well together. This is a positive result and consistent with the 2012 survey when it was 94%. For the fourth year running, projects from across the private, public, voluntary, community and youth sectors in Coventry were profiled at the Community Cohesion Awards at St. Mary's Guildhall. The awards offer recognition for the valuable work that goes on across the city to promote cohesion, helping communities to live together peacefully. They are run by the Equalities and Communities Group of the Coventry Partnership together with Coventry Ethnic Minorities Action Partnership (CEMAP). Perceptions of safety It is important for communities to feel safe in order to fully participate in civic life. In March 2013, the vast majority (81%) of residents feel safe in their neighbourhood at night; and around two-thirds (66%) feel safe after dark. This is unchanged from last year. Armed Forces Community Covenant The Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull Community Covenant was signed on Armed Forces Day on 30 June 2012 in Warwick by representatives from the armed forces community, the local authorities and armed forces charities among others. This is a voluntary pledge of mutual support between local civilian and Armed Forces communities. Its aim is to encourage local support and promote an understanding and awareness of the issues affecting the Armed Forces community. It also seeks to recognise and remember their sacrifices, encourage activities which help to integrate them into local life, and encourage members of the Armed Forces community to help and support the wider civilian community. Paralympic Flame Celebration On 25 August 2012, Coventry was one of 36 places that hosted Flame Celebrations for the London 2012 Paralympic Torch Relay. The Partnership organised the event, which gave the public the opportunity to ‘have a go’ at a range of Paralympic sports, plus entertainment from artists including the Notables and Freefall Dance Company. DisabledGo Working with local disabled people and national charity DisabledGo, a new web-based guide was developed, providing information for disabled people about the accessibility of buildings. The guide offers anyone living, working or visiting the city detailed information about the accessibility of shops, pubs, restaurants, hotels, theatres and other services. The DisabledGo guide can be found at www.disabledgo.com.

Raise Coventry’s cultural profile & reputation with local communities, visitors & tourists

Pride in the City In March 2013, 64% of respondents agreed that they were proud of Coventry and 66% said that their pride had increased as a result of the city’s role in co-hosting the Olympics. This is unchanged from September 2012. Coventry Ambassadors Over 300 Coventry Ambassadors welcomed the world to the city in 2012 and all said that they would volunteer again. More than 80 Ambassadors attended a focus group planning for their legacy; this resulted in a proposal from Coventry University, to build upon the momentum of volunteering, by continuing Coventry Ambassadors as an events management social enterprise. As a social enterprise, Coventry Ambassador will bid to support the running of future events in the city. Coventry and Warwickshire Champions The Coventry and Warwickshire story was launched in March 2012. This was the result of work commissioned by the Coventry Partnership and which is now hosted by the LEP (Local Enterprise Partnership). The Coventry and Warwickshire Champions was set up to unite businesses, organisations and individuals across the area through a network which would help to influence how the area is perceived and portrayed, to raise the profile of the city. The Champions network has been involved in attending various conferences and events to promote Coventry. This includes MIPIM, a real estate conference, and Confex, an events industry conference. The Champions have also been involved in producing joined-up marketing materials for investors, business and leisure tourism; and influencing the design of mapping and signage in the city centre. Tourism The Tourism Equality Impact Assessment 2011 shows that between 2009 and 2011 there has been an increase in day trips made to the city, the amount of money tourists spend and the number of jobs supported by tourism. The Coventry and Warwickshire Visitor Guide 2012/13 proved popular, with 15,000 printed copies reaching members of the public, 80,000 visits to the digital version on the Visit Coventry website and over 500 downloads.

Make the city centre a vibrant cultural centre

Public Realm improvements The city centre offer has fallen behind neighbouring cities, impacting on the city’s ability to attract businesses to relocate to Coventry. During the run-up to the Olympic Games, the city secured European Regional Development Fund matched funding for public realm work around the city centre. The Coventry Partnership has been engaged and involved with this work. The Council has continued to invest in Public Realm work with further improvement and de-cluttering of road junctions. Broadgate Square The new Broadgate Square was completed in April 2012, offering the city a new events central for all sorts of events and activities throughout the year. Particular highlights were: Godiva Awakes, part of the Cultural Olympiad which saw the awakening of a giant Lady Godiva; the Annual Godiva Carnival Procession; the summer Global Market; the Christmas Lights Switch On and an outdoor ice rink; and Christmas International Market. In 2013, the Coventry Partnership used the space to inform residents and communities of the forthcoming changes to Welfare Reform, and how people might be impacted by the changes; while partner agencies – including health services, the transport authority (Centro), and local sport clubs and associations have used the space to help promote services to people. Signage The Coventry and Warwickshire Place Board has influenced the new mapping and signage systems in the City Centre. Project Kickstart Through the Council’s planned move to the new Friargate business quarter, the Council is playing a role in kickstarting the development, encouraging others to relocate to Coventry and helping attract better quality retailers into the city centre. City Centre City Centre footfall in January to March 2013 is down by 6.3% points as compared to the same period last year. Across the UK, statistics show that footfall has also fallen by 4.4% points. In June 2013 there were more void units in the city centre: 58 as compared to 47 in June 2012. On a more positive note, crime in the city centre has fallen by 10.5% points (January to March 2013 compared to the same period in 2012).

Coventry, proud to be a city that works to…

Reduce health inequalities Executive summary Coventry is a city of contrasts: a person living in the least deprived part of the city is likely to live a longer and healthier life than a person living in the most deprived part of the city. The Marmot Review, Fair Society Healthy Lives, demonstrated that variations in health can result from social inequalities, and therefore, improving health requires addressing the wider socio-economic determinants. As one of seven Marmot cities across the United Kingdom, the Health and Wellbeing Board is seeking to improve the health of all people living in Coventry, so that it matches the best in England.

In April 2013 the Public Health function transferred to the local authority. The Health and Wellbeing Board was formed and will oversee the Health and Wellbeing Strategy. Four priorities have been identified: healthy communities; reduce variation; healthy people; and improve outcomes; as well as three cross-cutting issues: prevention, partnership working and community engagement. In 2012/13, alcohol-related hospital admissions increased. 60% of alcohol users and 13.5% of drug users successfully completed treatment, but more work is required to support users. There has been a reduction in people who say they smoke, while Stop Smoking Services report an increase in the number of successful quitters. Obesity continues to be a concern, and there has been no improvement from previous years. Recent campaigns to promote healthier lifestyles include Change4Life and Coventry on the move!

Health and Wellbeing Strategy priorities

Life expectancy along Coventry bus route 10 Coventry bus route 10 runs from Upper Eastern Green in the west, to Bell Green in the north-east of the city, passing through some of the most prosperous as well as some of the most socio-economically deprived areas of the city. As a result, it gives a clear and visual way to illustrate the stark contrasts in life expectancy in different areas of the city.

Helping communities sustain good health and wellbeing, initially by tackling obesity, mental wellbeing, domestic violence and abuse and sexual violence.

Identifying and intervening for disadvantaged groups most at risk of poor outcomes. Initial priorities are smoking, alcohol and infectious diseases.

Enabling people to maximise their health and wellbeing outcomes across the life course, with a particular focus on early years, where prevention is most effective, and older people, who carry the largest burden for ill health.

Maximising the health and wellbeing outcomes for the population of Coventry to match the best in England. Initial priorities are cancer, variation in primary care and lifestyle risk management (making every contact count).

Reduce health inequalities between communities

Life expectancy Life expectancy at birth for in Coventry in 2009-11 is 77.6 years for males and 81.9 years for females. This has gone up from the figures in 2008-10. Males living in the least deprived parts of the city can expect to live 11.7 years longer than those living in the most deprived parts of the city and for females, 7.9. Social determinants of health The social determinants of health are the economic and social conditions that influence differences in people’s health. That is, the wider context in which people are born, grow, live, work and age can lead to health inequalities. Partner agencies across the Coventry Partnership have been working to help influence the health and wellbeing of all Coventry citizens. Nationally, the Marmot Review has identified ways to measure progress towards reducing health inequalities. This includes measures such as life expectancy, early years development, the number of young people not in education, employment and training (NEET), receipt of benefits and inequality in benefits, many of which are already measured through other partnership priorities.

Reduce alcohol, drug use and smoking and provide effective treatment services

Alcohol In 2012/13, an estimated 8,552 admissions to hospital were wholly or partially attributable to alcohol, a rate of 2,553 per 100,000 population. This compares to 8,018 in 2011/12 (a rate of 2,369). In comparison, the rate in the West Midlands in 2012/13 is 1,990 and England, 1,951. Clinical treatment helps people recover from alcohol misuse. 60% of clients successfully completed treatment for alcohol misuse between April 2012 and March 2013, same as in 2011/12. This is slightly better than the national average of 58%. Considerable work is underway to improve the capacity of services to cater for more alcohol users needing treatment. In addition to clinical treatment, clients need support in other aspects of their lives, for example, in housing, benefits, training and employment. In 2012/13, an additional service to deliver such non-clinical specialist help was commissioned to help people recover more effectively from drug/alcohol misuse.

The National Drug Treatment Monitoring System compares Coventry’s performance with a cluster of authorities: 8.3% of opiate users successfully exited treatment and 41.6% of non-opiate users successfully exited treatment; both just below the top 25% of comparable cluster of authorities. A new model of delivery is being developed to increase supported group work offered to clients, to help clients help each other, assisting with a peer-led recovery.

In January to March 2013, the rate for opiate users was 18.8% and for non-opiate users, 6.9%.

Smoking Smoking is the single greatest cause of preventable illness and premature death in the UK. According to the Household Survey, 22% of residents said they smoked in 2013, down from 25% in 2012. In April to December 2012, Coventry’s stop smoking services helped 2,293 people to successfully quit smoking, a rate of 885 per 100,000 – better than the rate of 631 in the Region. Local targets set by the Health and Wellbeing Board include increasing the number of women that successfully quit smoking during pregnancy; and the number of school playgrounds and gates with smoke-free signage in place.

Tackle obesity by getting more people involved in physical activities and eating a healthy diet

Obesity Obesity is a growing concern in Coventry. Obesity increases an individual’s risk of a number of health problems, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancers. These health problems not only affect a person’s quality of life, but are costly to treat. Obesity can be tackled by getting more people involved in physical activities (increasing their energy consumption) and eating a healthy diet (reducing energy intake) – and this is easiest in childhood before lifestyle patterns and behaviours are entrenched. Childhood obesity In 2011/12, the National Childhood Measurement Programme found that over one in ten (11.2%) were obese. For Year 6 children, this rises to over one in five (20.6%). There are also large variations at ward level, with obesity affecting more children in more deprived areas, for example, in Foleshill, 14% of 4-5 year olds were obese compared to 8% in Earlsdon; and for 10-11 year olds, figures are 25% and 13% respectively. View how childhood obesity vary by ward at http://goo.gl/PDn7Zy. Healthy behaviours 31% of residents said that they ate the recommended five portions of fruits and vegetables each day, and 44% said they took part in some form of physical activity five or more times a week. The Health and Wellbeing Board is trying to encourage people to lead a healthier lifestyle through eating more healthily, becoming more active and taking part in physical activity, and stopping smoking. Healthy diets In 2012/13, the Change4Life campaign helped encourage people to eat more healthily. This included a cookbook that offered healthy recipes that cost no more than five pounds to help families make the most of the deals available at their local stores; work to improve school meals; and activity packs to encourage people to better understand how to eat more healthily. Physical activity On 10 August 2013, the Coventry on the move campaign was launched to encourage people to get up and active and enjoy a healthier lifestyle, for example, by walking rather than driving; gardening; taking the stairs instead of the lift or escalator; and getting off the bus a few stops earlier than necessary. As part of the launch, a range of activities and tips and tricks including hula-hoops, flying discs and skipping ropes were provided, and some people got to take some goodies home with them so they could practise their new skills.

Coventry, proud to be a city that works to…

Improve children & young people’s education and opportunities Executive summary 1 in 5 people in Coventry (71,295 people) are under 18 years old. The Children and Young People’s Plan 2011-2014 sets out Coventry’s priorities, to reduce the impact of poverty on families, to improve children’s health, to raise the level of attainment by overcoming barriers to learning and to support families.

Focus on… education

Focus on… social care Coventry is working to safely reduce the number of looked after children by investing in early intervention programmes. Data for 2012/13, however, suggests that the demand for social care services continue to increase. The rates of social care referrals, children subject to a child protection plan and looked after children remain well above that of similar local authorities.

Ofsted inspects schools and grades their overall effectiveness as either outstanding, good, requires improvement, or inadequate. Last November, Ofsted reported that only 42% of Coventry children attended a primary school judged good or outstanding, placing Coventry in last place, and for secondary schools, eight in ten (33rd place). Schools and the Council are working closely on a programme of support and challenge, and the latest data shows an increase in the proportion of children and young people attending a good or outstanding school. There is a commitment to continue and accelerate this improvement, particularly in the primary school sector.

Focus on… adoptions The Government’s Adoption Scorecard noted that adoptions in Coventry take longer than in other areas. Historically, the city has continued finding placements for older children and those with complex needs; and in supporting long-term carers to adopt children in their care. In 2012/13, the Adoption Service has improved the way it tracks and plans for adoptions, which will speed up adoptions and help meet government targets. A much improved prediction for the 2014/15 Adoption Scorecard is expected.

Key Stage 2 Key Stage 4 Key Stage 5 Post-16 skills & employability 9 out of 10 made the expected two levels of

progress from Key Stage 1 to 2 in English and Maths, matching the national average. Results for 2013

are not available at time of publication.

58.7% achieved five good GCSEs including English and Maths

matching the national average. Provisional results for 2013 show

a slight dip to 57% but this matches national trends.

97.7% passed their A-Level exams, almost matching the national

average. Provisional results for 2013 show that 98% passed, exceeding national averages.

Children and young people are doing better than ever before in their exams and assessments. In 2012…

The Partnership is working to reduce the number of young people not in education, employment or training (NEET) by skilling up young people. This included the Your Future Your Choice event and the Coventry Boot Camp. Further information is set out in the growth, jobs and enterprise scorecard.

Improve children and young people’s level of achievement, educational progress and aspirations

Early years foundation stage 61.7% of Coventry’s five year olds achieved a good level of development in 2012, up 2.7% points from 59.2% in 2011. This is just under 3% points lower than the national average, which increased by 5% points to 64%. Coventry has made progress in narrowing the gap: in 2012, the gap between the lowest-fifth achieving a good level narrowed by 1.5% points to 31.3%. This is better than nationally where gap narrowed by 1.3% points to 30.1%.

Primary education In 2012, 90% of Coventry children made expected progress in English and 87% in Maths. 75% achieved level 4+ in both English & Maths, up from 71% last year. This is Coventry’s best result but it remains lower than the England average of 79%. Priorities are to narrow the gap particularly for more vulnerable groups and to help more children achieve level 5 or 6 at Key Stage 2.

Secondary education In 2012, 58.7% achieved 5+ GCSEs at A*-C including English and Maths, 0.1% off the national average of 58.8%. This was an improvement on 54.7% in 2011 and 1.9% points better than comparable neighbours. At A-Level, the pass rate in 2012 was 97.7%, up from 97.4% in 2011; narrowing the gap with England to 0.3% points. 41.9% achieved grades A* to B, up from 40.9% last year. Provisional 2013 results show 57% achieved 5+ good GCSEs – a 2.2% point decrease; and 98% pass at A-level, exceeding the national average. The Overcoming Barriers to Learning strategy sets out plans to help the most vulnerable young people remain in education and training and help the highest attaining students achieve the top grades.

Ofsted inspections In November 2012, Ofsted released a list of local authorities with the proportion of pupils attending good or outstanding primary and secondary schools, as at 31 August 2012. This noted that only 42% of Coventry children attended a primary school judged good or outstanding, placing Coventry in last place (150th place) and for secondary, eight in ten (33rd place). Following sustained efforts by schools and the Council to implement a revised Education and Improvement Strategy, the city’s schools have improved. As of 1 July 2013, 63.6% of pupils are now attending a primary school judged to be good or outstanding, and for secondary, 81.4%. While this is an improvement from last August, and primary schools are improving more quickly than in

In October to December 2012, 48.4% of Coventry mothers breastfed their babies 6-8 weeks after birth, an improvement from 42.2% for April to June 2012 reported at half year. Childhood obesity In 2011/12, 11.2% of children at Reception to be obese, rising to 20.6% in Year 6. This compares to 10.5% and 21.2% in the region; 10.1% and 21.1% across all metropolitan areas, and 9.5% and 19.2% in England. Under 18 conceptions There were 285 conceptions to under 18s in 2011, 12 more than in 2010 (273). As Coventry’s population has increased, the conception rate has fallen to 48.9 in 2011 (from 50.2); the lowest rate since recording began in 1998. However, the city is still in the worst 20%; it compares to 38.9 in the metropolitan area; 34.9 regionally; and 30.7 nationally.

3 At half-year, it was reported that this represented 95.6% of the cohort, by using the 2011 mid-year population estimates of the number of two year olds as the denominator – i.e. 4,441 children. The official NHS Immunisation Statistics, England 2011/12 released on 27 November 2012 uses a slightly different denominator resulting in a rate of 94.6%. 4 the MMR vaccination protects against measles, mumps and rubella. 5 DTaP/IPV/Hib vaccination protects against Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (whooping cough), Polio and Haemophilus influenzae type b.

Child poverty 23.3% of children were in relative poverty in 2012, down from 27% in 2011. Although child poverty has reduced, people are, however, not becoming better off. While median incomes have fallen in real terms, benefits have been linked to inflation, and therefore, have not fallen in the same way. Welfare Reform is likely to have an impact on this. The impact of poverty on families can be addressed by improving access to work, training, housing and financial literacy – provided at the expanded Coventry Job Shop and the Parenting Headquarters. There are significant differences in the level of child poverty across the city. In 2012, 40% of children in St Michael’s ward were in relative poverty, compared to less than 5% in Earlsdon and Wainbody. View the interactive map at http://goo.gl/TPTf3.

Minimise the risk of harm to children and young people through early interventions and prevention with families, strengthening, safeguarding and improving outcomes for vulnerable children

Parenting programmes Coventry offers parents and carers help and support that they need to cope with the challenges of parenting. The Parenting Headquarters provides parenting programmes and family support. In the autumn and spring terms of the 2012/13 school year, 453 parents benefitted, compared to 939 in the full 2011/12 school year. As funding has reduced, final data for the full 2012/13 school year is likely to show fewer parents benefitting than in 2011/12.

Children’s social care

The rates of social care referrals, children subject to a child protection plan and looked after children in Coventry continues to be well above that of similar local authorities. Coventry is working to safely reduce the number of looked after children by investing in early intervention programmes; and increasing the number of children adopted from care so that more children are placed in stable family settings.

Referrals to children’s social care There were 4,738 referrals to children’s social care in 2012/13, a rate of 664.6 per 10,000 children. This has increased from the previous year. Repeat referrals have also increased, from 20% in 2011/12 to 22.7% in 2012/13, but it remains better than statistical neighbours and the national average.

Child protection In March 2013, 526 children were the subject of a child protection plan, equating to 73.8 per 10,000 children. This is higher than 59.9 in March 2012; and is also higher than the statistical neighbour rate of 44.0; and the England rate of 37.8 (March 2012).

Children looked after by the local authority In March 2013, 619 children were in care, a rate of 86.8 per 10,000 children. This has increased from 587 in September 2012 and 580 in March 2012. The looked after children rate in Coventry is higher than in comparable areas and England. Of the children who have been in care for 2.5 years, two-thirds (67.7%) are living in a stable placement (lasting 2+ years), an improvement from 66.0% last year. Youth offending In 2012/13, Coventry had a rate of 373 per 100,000 10-17 year olds who received their first reprimand, warning or conviction. This is an improvement on the rate of 464 in 2011/12. The latest comparator data, for 2011/12, shows that Coventry has a lower rate of first time entrants than in youth offending comparator areas (919), the metropolitan area (584), the region (613) and nationally (712).
