Summary
• The London Borough of Bromley is an Outer London borough, located in the south-eastern corner of Greater London.
• Bromley is the largest of the 32 London Boroughs covering over 58 square miles, over half of which is green belt.
• There is a population is over 300,000 people, of which around 71,000 (~24%) are under the age of 19, the 0-19 population has remained stable for the last five years, but is projected to begin a slow decline in overall numbers over the next five, which will continue over the following 10-20 years.
• The borough has a contrast of an urban north-west and a rural south-east and has the
highest car ownership of the London Boroughs.
• Just under 90% of Bromley is White-British, but there has been and continues to be a slow and steady increase in the numbers of ethnic minorities, the largest increases predicted for Black African and Black Caribbean, predominately in the north-west of the borough.
• Broadly speaking Bromley has two main areas of deprivation: Penge & Anerley and The Crays, although there are small pockets elsewhere in the borough, namely Mottingham and Bromley Common.

Population Estimates and Projections
• The Greater London Authority population estimates of 2009 show a small growth in the overall population of Bromley, before steadily declining over the next fifteen to twenty years. Within the age groupings, most follow the trend of small growth in numbers before declining, although there are fluctuations within that. The age ranges of 90+ is set to show continual increase over the coming years.
• Males, by and large, tend to outnumber females by a small degree across the age ranges of 0-24, with women outnumbering men in Bromley within all other age brackets. The male/female ratio is of is decidedly more marked in the later years of 70+.
• Looking at the near future and a projected population structure pyramid for 2013 shows a fairly balanced split of male to female, with the skew towards females from around the age groups of 50 onwards.

• After a dip in the number of births within Bromley between the late 1990s and early 2000s, the number of births has been increasing, substantially in 2006, 2007 and 2008. The birth rate was set to begin decreasing again (although still remain above the levels of 1998-2003), but the latest birth statistics do not show the predicted decline in projected 2009 births.
• A similar, if less pronounced, trend can be seen in comparison with neighbouring boroughs and the pan-London figures.

• The increases in births in 2006-2008 has a potential knock-on effect; with the population projection for under 24s showing that while overall numbers are declining over time, there are distinct peaks as the large birth cohort gets older. This will have an impact on services and planning, as at various times a larger number of children will need to factored into school places planning, after school activity provision. The high numbers will also have a statistically likely increase in number of children in care, or with disabilities.
• The projected peaks are:
0-4s peaking in 2011 5-9s peaking in 2016 10-14s peaking in 2020 15-19s peaking in 2025 20-24s peaking in 2031

• Using a combination of actual school roll data for 2007-10 and the GLA 2009 Round Population Projections to generate a projection of the school roll shows that the births peak hasn’t reached reception age yet. School years 2010/11 and 2011/12 will continue to see a rise in reception numbers peaking in 2012/13 – with possibly more than 200 more pupils than now, before falling back to current (2009/10) levels for 2017/18 and beyond.
• For secondary schools, the current Year 7 numbers of around 3,500 are likely to be maintained until 2015 before the rise starts: 3,600 by 2016, 3,800 by 2018, and 4,000 by 2020. This would give a total age 11-15 school population in 2020 of 19,000 compared with the 17,350 presently. Back to General Demographics

Ethnic Population Changes
• Bromley currently has a resident ethnic population (across all ages) of around 12%, this is set to steadily rise over time to approximately 16% by 2031.
• Within that increase, the biggest predicted rise is in Black Caribbean and Black African residents.
• The ethnic minority ratio is slightly higher than the overall ration in the resident under 25 age population, but schools within the borough are open to children outside of the borough. Comparing the percentage of ethnicity of school age children within Bromley against the percentage ethnicity spread from the School Censuses 2006-2010 shows that the schools have a significantly higher proportion of ethnic pupils – around 10% larger.
• Like the resident ethnic population, the ethnic population within schools has been steadily increasing over recent years, increasing by around 6% in both primary and secondary schools between 2006 and 2010.

Ethnic Population Changes
• Looking geographically at the School Census 2010 data shows that schools in the Strategic Planning Areas in the North of the borough bordering on Lewisham, Southwark, Greenwich and Lambeth (SPA1; SPA2; SPA4; and SPA6) have a higher proportion than others, particularly at Primary School level which would suggest an increase in ethnic families with young children using Bromley schools.
• Strategic Planning Area 1, comprising of Crystal Palace, Penge and Cator and Clock House wards, has an almost equal ratio ethnic/white school population, with the proportion of ethnic pupils actually slightly greater than white pupils.

Families and Dependents
• Looking at the Bromley Household Survey 2009, just under a third (30.5%) of all the households in Bromley have children.
• The last census showed a very clear distinction in terms of where couple families and lone parent families were located within the borough.
• In a direct inversion to the proportion of couple families by ward, the 2001 Census shows lone parent families are predominately located in the Crystal Palace, Penge and Cator and Mottingham and Chislehurst North wards, and also in Clock House, Plaistow and Sundridge, Bromley Common and Keston, Cray Valley East and Cray Valley West.
• Although the time elapsed since the 2001 Census means we have to treat this information with a little caution, the spread does tally up with areas of deprivation within the borough.

Deprivation
• The Government Office for London IMD (Index of Multiple Deprivation) measures deprivation based on the following seven domains:
income deprivation employment deprivation health deprivation and disability education, skills and training deprivation barriers to housing and services living environment deprivation, and crime
• Bromley ranks at 228th place out of 354 Councils for the levels of disadvantage (where 1 is the most deprived and 354 the least deprived).
• However, the positive mean figure hides some stark contrasts between areas within the borough. One of Bromley’s wards, Penge and Cator, ranks among the top 10% of wards in England experiencing areas of high child poverty, whilst five others of Bromley’s 22 wards contain areas ranked among the 20% most deprived in England. These wards are: Crystal Palace; Mottingham and Chislehurst North; Bromley Common and Keston; Cray Valley East; and Cray Valley West.
• The main areas of deprivation are clustered together in the north-west and north-east corners of the borough. Next

Deprivation 2
• Meanwhile, Petts Wood and Knoll, Shortlands and West Wickham are among the least deprived in London.
• It is worth noting that the areas showing as most deprived are also the areas with the greatest volume of social housing in the borough which is where we might expect a higher concentration of the issues associated with deprivation. They are therefore more likely to register as more deprived in relation to other areas of the borough.
• Comparing the multiple indices of deprivation scores of 2004 and 2007 provides a change over time. The map on the next slide shows that change, with the red and orange areas experiencing an increase in their level of deprivation, and the blue areas a decrease in their deprivation.
• The map broadly shows that the northern half of the borough (much of which were the most deprived areas already) has suffered from an increase in deprivation, with the biggest increases in the areas noted before: Penge and Cator; Crystal Palace; Mottingham and Chislehurst North; Bromley Common and Keston; Cray Valley East; and Cray Valley West.
• For a few selected areas (numbered 1-7), a breakdown of the deprivation indices to show what aspects have changed have been included. Chart 6 shows an area where there has been improvement across all the deprivations domains except income. Conversely, chart 5, shows a decline in all domains except crime.
• It should be noted that differences in how information was collected between the 2004 and 2007 deprivation scores means that we must view the changes with that in mind, however comparing future scores would be invaluable in identifying any trends. Next

Key Messages for Bromley
Key Messages for Bromley
• A spike in number of births in 2008/09 (a 12% increase from 2005) and a ‘rolling’ peak in the age ranges following over the next twenty years (despite overall 0-19 population declining).
• The 15-19 age group population is projected to fall by around 12% until 2018 before returning to just above current numbers in 2025.
• A steady projected increase in the borough ethnic population, and continued increase in school ethnic population especially in north-west corner.
• Increased levels of deprivation in Penge, Crystal Palace, The Crays, and several pockets around the borough, such as Bromley Common and Biggin Hill.
Actions for Bromley
• The ‘rolling’ population peak will impact on all services as it moves through the age ranges: school place planning, extended school services, youth service, post-16 services. We would also expect the birth rate peak to bring with it a potential increase in SEN numbers and referrals to Social Care.
• Increased deprivation is likely to increase service needs within those areas and may negatively impact on associated deprivation problems. Back to General Demographics

Summary
• Bromley has nearly 47,000 pupils attending its 95 schools (74 primary, 17 secondary, and 4 special)
• In addition there are 796 Early Years providers with 6,415 part-time equivalent free early years education places for 3 and 4 year olds.
• Attainment across all stages of the national curriculum is equal or above the national average and higher than neighbouring boroughs.
• 64% of the pupils surveyed in the TellUs 4 survey thought they would go onto university or higher education, more than the 62% nationally and the 61% in statistical neighbours.
• Attainment for SEN pupils in Bromley is just above the national average, but just below our statistical neighbours.
• However Bromley scored noticeably lower in those Years 8 and 10 pupils surveyed in receiving help and advice from their teachers, college teachers, Connexions and the online prospectus in planning what to do after Year 11 (which was the biggest worry in those years).Back to Attainment and Achievement for All
CYP Research & Statistics
Achievement
• Bromley has good attainment ratings, with scores either comparable or above the national average. There is considerable interest in Bromley Schools, particularly at secondary level from out of Borough, In fact out of Borough represent 20% of pupils in Bromley’s secondary schools.
• Against statistical neighbours Bromley performs a little less favourably, ranking in the bottom half at Key Stage 2 (2009 results) - in comparison with ten other local authorities.
• Performance was notably improved at Key Stage 4 (in comparison with the statistical neighbours again) being among the top scorers, and middling at A-level.
• Please see the Vulnerable Groups categories at the last section for data on attainment by ethnicity, Special Education Needs and Looked After Children.
• Please note with regard to the following tables that National average scores are shown in brackets.

Male Role Models
• A survey in 2008 by the Training and Development Agency of boys aged 5 to 11 showed that 51% thought that having a male teacher would make them better behaved, and 42% said it would make them work harder. Although no formal research to correlate the data has been done, it is thought that a lack of male role models in primary school could result in disciplinary problems for boys later in life, and possible higher risk of crime and drug abuse in their teens.
• Across Bromley primary schools, 11.6% of teachers are men and of Bromley’s 78 primary schools, 18 have no male teachers, while two have no male member of staff at any level. Another 18 of the primary schools have only one male primary school teacher.
• Although the number of males in Bromley primary schools is below the national average, it is comparable with statistical neighbours and similar authorities. Croydon, Kingston and Sutton with fewer males than Bromley, however Southwark is higher at 18.3% than both Bromley and the national average.
• In the 14 of Bromley’s secondary schools the percentage of male to female teachers was 34% - below the national average of 42%.
• There was variation between same sex and mixed schools however:
In mixed schools – average of 41% male teachers In boys’ schools – average of 50% male teachers In girls’ schools – average of 22% male teachers

Satisfaction with Park and Play Areas
• There are 66 council managed playgrounds based within parks in Bromley. Park and play areas are seen as key areas for social interaction with other children, a contributing aspect to exercise and healthy living and a place for community cohesion.
• Safe, stimulating play facilities are seen as a way of encouraging these outcomes and the satisfaction of those play areas is measured from a question in the TellUs survey.
• Bromley scored 53.2% satisfaction, which equalled the pan-London average. Although this is significantly greater than the England average of 44.7%, and scored better than statistical neighbours, Bromley, often considered a leafy, green borough ranked behind a number of Inner London boroughs such as Southwark, Lambeth and Camden.

Satisfaction with Park and Play Areas 2
• Elements of this appears to be reflected in the 2008 More Place Survey of Bromley where the top mention under issues that need the most improvement locally was activities for teenagers at 48%, higher than the 39% Outer London average.
• Conversely parks and open spaces were not seen as in need of much improvement locally.
• For those respondents with children, 40% felt parks and open spaces were important as opposed to 32% of those without children.
• It would suggest that while the parks themselves are not an issue, activities and how those parks are used to provide satisfactory play areas for young people is in need of development.

Youth Elections and Youth Council
• Youth Elections are promoted to schools for approximately 4 months, and all schools are encouraged to sign up to participate.
• The Youth Council currently has 52 members, with representative for four portfolios: Children & Young People; Safety; Environment; and Leisure.
• The elections take part place in schools and local youth centres. In 2010, 7,077 young people (aged between 11-19) in the borough voted in elections for Bromley Youth Council and 9 schools took part in the elections (the proportion of voters being between the ages of 12 and 15).
• 2010 is the second year of borough based youth elections and there has been an increase in participation by schools.
• A manifesto event took place in March 2010, attended by 38 young people from 7 secondary schools in Bromley. Three issues were identified at the manifesto day for the Youth Council to focus its work upon:
Youth Democracy Youth Crime Lack of activities for young people
• The Youth Council have a political ‘Speed-dating’ event with elected Bromley Councillors planned for June and a debate with the Councillors planned for October.
• The TellUs 4 survey showed only 4% of pupils surveyed used their youth council or youth parliament as a means to communicate ideas that are important to them. This is in line with both national and statistical neighbours but shows ample scope to champion that route.

Key Messages for Bromley
Key Messages for Bromley
• Addressing how to narrow the gap in attainment between the top performing pupils and lowest, particularly in reference to the attainment of vulnerable groups.
• Attendance is not hitting the targets Bromley has set itself consistently.
• The birth rate spike of 2008/09 will impact on school place provision planning, with the increased numbers entering primary school in 2011 and secondary school in 2020.
• Low number of male teachers at primary school level and a lack of male role models.
• School, Connexions and College support for Years 8 and 10 in helping them plan for post Year-11 was not viewed favourable in the TellUs 4 survey.
Actions for Bromley
• A need to look at the current support mechanisms for helping young people plan to achieve their ambitions and a look into the positive impacts that support can have on teenage conceptions and anti-social behaviour.
• A plan to narrow the gap in attainment, particularly with vulnerable groups will impact positively upon life opportunities.
• There is a need to develop research into specific groups such as young carers and travellers.
• There is a need to focus on delivering constant attendance.

2009 Health Profile
• Bromley’s Health Profile 2009, gives a snapshot of health within the borough.
• The health of Bromley residents is overall better than the England average:
Over the last ten years, rates of early deaths from cancer, heart disease and stroke have all declined and remained significantly better than the England average.
Infant mortality and teenage pregnancy rates are lower than the England average.
Healthy eating among adults higher than England average and Bromley has low childhood obesity rates.
Life expectancy for both men and women being higher than the England average.
Terminations of pregnancy are under the London average for under-18, but are higher for the under-16s.
TellUs 4 indicates that emotional health for Bromley children and young people has improved and is inline with national and statistical neighbours.
• However, for the 7% of Bromley residents who live in areas classified as being in the most deprived fifth of areas in England, life expectancy is substantially lower than for those living in the least deprived areas; with the difference in male life expectancy being almost nine years.

CYP Research & Statistics
Lifestyle
• The results from the TellUs 4 survey, while a small sample population across all children and young people, give an indication into the lifestyle with regards to health for Bromley with:
53% of pupils surveyed walking to school
The majority of pupils surveyed felt their school was helpful in providing information and advice on healthy food and lifestyles, alcohol, drugs and smoking. Although their schools were not seen to be as helpful on the issue of sex and relationships.
52% of pupils surveyed had never had an alcoholic drink.
77% of pupils surveyed had never smoked, and a further 10% had only ever tried smoking once.
88% of pupils surveyed had never taken drugs.
Only 8% did not eat any of the recommended ‘five a day’ fruit and vegetables.

Play Outside
• Looking at the 2007/08 data for percentage of school children who spend a minimum of two hours each week on high quality physical education and school sport within and beyond the curriculum, Bromley scores 89.7% which is just shy of the England average of 90%, but in comparison with other London Boroughs, Bromley is ahead of the London average and positioned in the middle.

Air Quality
• As we would expect with a urban and densely populated north and a rural south, air quality with the Borough of Bromley is split into bands, with the urban north significantly worse that the southern rural regions.
• A report on the estimation of mortality impacts of particulate air pollution in London, commissioned by the Mayor of London and released in July 2010 looked at the pollution levels of all the wards in the London Boroughs.
• The study looked at pollutant concentration within each ward, and calculated the potential increase in deaths attributable to pollution per year, based on their population and death rate.
• Bromley had both the lowest score (3 in Darwin ward) and the highest (with three of the four 12s recorded across Greater London). With the exception of the London Borough of Havering, no other borough has such a consistently high number of premature deaths attributable to pollution across its wards.
• Despite being an outer London borough with large areas of parkland, Bromley has the highest car ownership of all London Boroughs which may well account for the high figures.

Breastfeeding
• Research has shown that breastfeeding has a positive effect on a child’s health, and can provide a good early start in life.
• It must be noted in looking at the table below that there is an issue in accurately recording the prevalence of breastfeeding in Bromley. Improvements in capturing the information accounts for the dramatic increase over the time period shown, and continual monitoring of that recording process is required.

Obesity and Healthy Eating
• Obesity in children is linked to a number of serious health problems including asthma and joint problems and further health complications later in life such as heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, type-2 diabetes and severely obese individuals are likely to die on average 11 years earlier.
• There are also emotional health consequences such as low self-esteem, low educational attainment and possible social exclusion.
• Bromley has made tackling childhood obesity a target and in recent years the percentage of children aged 4-5 (R) considered to be obese has been falling, from 8.4% in 2007 to 7.3% in 2008.
• In comparison to other London Boroughs, Bromley has the second lowest percentage of reception year children considered to be obese with only Richmond-upon-Thames having lower percentage. Bromley is also considerably lower than both the London and England averages. Nationally, urban areas have higher rates of obesity than rural areas, and London has the highest rate at Strategic Health Authority level.

Obesity and Healthy Eating 2
• In 2007/2008 the overall rate of obesity in children in Reception Year in Bromley was 7.9% compared to 10.9% for London and the national average of 9.6%.
• In 2008/09, the Year 6 rate of obesity for Bromley is 16%, compared to 21.3% in London and 18.3% nationally.
• Bromley has lower levels of obesity in both Year 1 and Year 6 compared to London as the table above shows, however prevalence remains higher in Bromley for overweight (not obese) children in Year 6 than London and England levels.
• Part of ensuring healthy eating and contributing to reducing obesity is the national scheme to encourage families to have school lunches. School lunch provision now has to follow strict criteria with regards to serving meals that have a high nutrition value. The following table shows that Bromley is very successful compared to most comparative authorities for take up at secondary school level. Further work needs to be done at primary school level.

Immunisation
• Immunising children against infectious diseases is one of the most important and effective Public Health interventions that can be made. In order to maximise this protection, it is essential to achieve and maintain a high level of vaccine uptake (coverage).
• The World Health Organisation recommends 95% coverage for all childhood vaccination. Uptake rates for childhood immunisation in Bromley are not currently at this level.
• A health equity audit aimed to identify how fairly services or other resources in Bromley are distributed in relation to the health needs of different groups and areas.
Uptake rates by ward showed that the lowest rates could be found in Penge and Cator, Mottingham and Chislehurst North.
The 5 highest deprivation scores were found in Cray Valley East, Mottingham and Chislehurst North, Penge and Cator, Cray Valley West, and Crystal Palace.
• The conclusions of the audit highlight a geographical variation in childhood vaccination uptake rates across wards in Bromley. This variation becomes more prominent for some of the later childhood vaccinations such as the 4 in 1 booster and Pneumococcal vaccinations.
• In addition to looking at ways of improving data collection and recording on the Child health database, the findings of the health equity audit will be incorporated into a demand and capacity exercise to help focus further activity to improve immunisation uptake.
• Plans are underway to target children missing the 4 in 1 booster and PCV vaccinations. Initiatives include detailed work on “call and recall” activity in General Practices (which has already started), and looking at immunisation campaigns in more deprived areas.

Sexual Health
• Chlamydia is the most commonly diagnosed sexually transmitted infection in the UK, affecting both men and women. Most people who have Chlamydia will have no symptoms and without a test probably not know anything is wrong.
• Left untreated Chlamydia can cause infertility and long term pelvic pain and there has been a nationwide push to have regular annual tests for under 25s who are sexually active.
• Bromley has been performing comparatively in the screening of under 25 years for Chlamydia and even has the second highest level of testing in Quarter 2, 2009 in comparison with neighbouring boroughs and statistical neighbours.

Teenage Conceptions and Terminations of Pregnancy
• Some of the main risk factors associated with teenage conceptions are as follows: early onset of sexual activity, poor contraceptive use, alcohol and substance misuse, low educational attainment, disengagement from school and leaving school at 16 with no qualifications.
• There are ‘hotspots’ within the borough where more intense targeted work is required. The local data has been divided into postcode areas and the highest teenage conception rates are in BR1, BR5, BR6 and SE20. These postcodes cover central Bromley, Orpington, The Cray’s and Penge; combined these areas account for over 63% of the total conceptions for the borough.
• The conception rate for under 16’s in Bromley has seen a slow but steady decrease since 2004 when the aggregated rate was 6.9 per 1000. This rate was 5.6 per 1000 in 2007 which is the latest under 16 data available.
• Likewise looking at terminations of pregnancies by postcode, BR5 and SE20, The Cray’s and Penge have twice as many terminations as other parts of the borough. It is worth noting at this stage however that The Cray’s and Penge are where a large portion of social housing is in Bromley, and therefore likely areas for a single teenage mother to be housed. The information on postcodes does not therefore reflect where in the borough the girl may have first originated from.

Emotional Health
• A child’s emotional well being, and the quality of their relationships with significant others is known to have an effect later in life. National Indicator 50 looks to gauge an indication of this broad theme through four questions/statements included into the TellUs surveys
• The four statement are: I have one or more good friends When I’m worried about something I can talk to my mum
or dad When I’m worried about something I can talk to my friends When I’m worried about something I can talk to an adult other
than my mum or dad
• The National Indicator is based on the percentage of children with good relationships, defined as answering ‘true’ to having one or more good friends AND answering ‘true’ to at least two of the statements about being able to talk to their parents, friends or another adult.
• Bromley has a low value under this indicator, significantly lower than both neighbouring boroughs and statistical neighbours, and below both the London and National averages.

Child and Adolescent Mental Health
• The skills and attributes associated with positive mental health lead to improved physical health, a better quality of life, reduced crime, higher educational attainment and economic wellbeing. Conversely poor mental health is associated with a range of health damaging behaviours such as smoking, drug and alcohol use, unwanted pregnancy and poor diet.
• A survey carried out in 2004 by the Office for National Statistics reported that nationally one in ten children aged between 5-16 had a clinically recognisable mental disorder. Four percent of children had an emotional disorder (3% anxiety and 1% depression) and six percent had a conduct disorder.
• Higher rates of mental health and behaviour problems have been shown to be linked to areas of greatest deprivation and in lone parent, low income and low educational qualification families.
• Mental health problems are also shown to affect boys to a greater degree than girls.5-16 years 17-19 years

Key Messages for Bromley
Key Messages for Bromley
• Inequality in life expectancy and potentially other health issues exist between areas of affluence and areas of deprivation.
• Communicating and collecting breastfeeding and immunisation information and data has been improving but still has scope for further improvement.
• Having began with a comparatively low baseline, under-18 conception rates have not made very little improvement over time, and suggest that is little that can be done to further reduce this rate.
• Under-16 pregnancy termination rates while decreasing still remain high relative to London Boroughs.
• Bromley has low rates of obesity at both Reception Year and Year 6, however Bromley does have a higher rate of overweight children at Year 6 than the London or National average which could develop into weight related health problems in the years following.
• TellUs 4 indicated that Bromley children and young people were not getting enough support at school with regards to sex and relationships.
Actions for Bromley
• A need to look into the underlying issues affecting areas of deprivation.
• With the lose of the TellUs survey Bromley will have to identify a new way to monitor and obtain the state of children and young people’s motional well being. Without this it will be very hard to measure performance against this priority.
• There is a need to build on the existing relationship with the CAMHS team to further explore where issues occur both geographically and demographically, and to aid early intervention and targeting hard to reach groups.
• There is a need to closely monitor cross-cutting issues such as exposure to Domestic Violence, bullying and children and young people as victims of crime, all of which contribute to emotional well-being.

Summary
• The Bromley pupils surveyed in the TellUs 4 survey were less worried about being bullied than the National result, but were more worried about being a victim of crime and additionally fewer pupils felt safe travelling to and from school.
• Bromley launched its second Volunteer Police Cadet Unit for 14-to-19 year olds in April 2010 taking the number of cadets on the borough to 102, the highest in London.
• There has been an increase in young people as victims of crime from 2008/09 to 2009/10 but a large reduction in the number of young people accused of perpetrating incidents.
• Safeguarding referrals have increased dramatically since 2007 (higher than National figures) and are set to continue at the higher rate.
• Numbers of Child Protection Plans and Looked After Children have also increased alongside this.

Safer Transport Team
• Associated with the Police Safer Neighbourhood Teams, the Bromley Safer Transport Team (STT) has been heavily involved in educating young people and tackling youth Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) on the transport network since its infancy in February 2006.
• The STT have used the CCTV on buses to work with schools in identifying any individuals involved in ASB so they can be targeted directly with parental letters and logged onto the STT ‘traffic light database’. Repeat offenders may have their free travel privileged removed.
• Between April 2009 and June 2010, the Safer Transport Team dealt with 170 youths. 20 of these came to notice a 2nd time and 10 of which a 3rd time. These latter 10 would have been put forward for consideration of Acceptable Behaviour Contracts (ABCs).
• The STT has directly targeted schools that bus drivers have identified as troublesome, particularly those near the border in the north-east of the borough.
• The STT has worked with over 6,000 pupils as part of their Junior Citizenship programme to educate them on issues of personal travel safety and crime.
• The STT have also worked with Bromley Mencap to gain a better understanding of children and young people with learning disabilities and have taken part in developing a ‘safety card’ for special needs students to present to a bus driver or officer if they become or fear becoming a victim.

School Travel Plans
• A school travel plan is a package of measures put together to reduce congestion and increase safety on the school run. This is done by encouraging pupils and parents to consider more sustainable alternatives such as walking, car sharing, public transport or cycling to school. This can include lots of different “soft” and “hard” measures such as walking incentive schemes such as the Walk on Wednesday Scheme, Walking Buses, car sharing initiatives and engineering measures.
• Two studies have been completed: one at the Hawes Down schools and one at the Highfield schools where the average car journey to school is ¾ mile.
• In the first year of operation of the walking bus scheme, an estimated 5254 car trips and 3940 miles were saved at Hawes Down and an estimated 2,840 car trips and 1,870 miles at Highfield.
• Since school travel plans were introduced in 2004 there has been a 15% reduction in car use, a figure that is growing term on term.

Police Initiatives
• There are a number of initiatives in place by the Police in Bromley focussing on supporting young people including Safer Schools Officers attached to all Bromley Secondary Schools and both Further Education Colleges. Other initiatives include MetTrack, KICKZ and PUNCHZ, where disenfranchised young people are diverted from crime and encouraged to participate in athletics, football or boxing.
• The Bromley Volunteer Police Cadets are now the largest in London, with 102 cadets. Part of the recruitment process identifies young people who may be involved in unlawful activity and would benefit from the scheme. The VPC also links in with other uniformed youth organisations such as: Sea Cadets; Army Cadet Force; Boys and Girls Brigade etc…
• Cop Trumps is a recent initiative piloted at Hayes Primary School where children are to collect a set of 30 cards featuring pictures and descriptions of the officers from the Safer Neighbourhood Team.
• Each officer will carry their own card and children will be encouraged to find and speak to officers - either when out patrolling the ward or when visiting the school - to collect their card.

Police Statistics
• Knife Crime involving youths (under 18) made up 1.2% of all offences in 2009. After previously seeing a rise in the number of recorded youth knife crime offences, this has fallen between 2008/09 and 2009/10 by the magnitude of around 25%.
• Youth Violence made up 2.8% of all offences in 2009 and have seen rates fall between 2008/09 and 2009/10 by approximately 10%.
• Serious Youth Violence made up 0.9% of all offences in 2009 and between 2008/09 and 2009/10 has seen a very slight increase of approximately 5%.
• Youth on youth crime where both the victim and the suspect were under-18 accounted for 14.4% of offences in 2009/10 involving young people.

Road Safety
• Young people represent a large proportion of those involved in road traffic incidents. The 10-14 year old age range is showing the greatest numbers across the age bands with regard to pedestrian casualties and injuries. The age group also has the second highest rate of injuries and casualties in cycle related incidences.
• Younger, less experienced, drivers are another high risk group and it is the age ranges of 15-19 and 20-24 that also show among the highest rate of casualties and injuries in motorcycle and car incidents.

Domestic Violence
• Research has shown that domestic violence has many negative impacts beyond the immediate act of violence towards women. Children in households where domestic violence occurs may be more at risk to abuse themselves and may develop emotional or behavioural issues and find it hard to form meaningful relationships in the future.
• The Equality and Human Rights Commission’s map of gaps, showing the number of Violence Against Women services serving areas of the UK, indicate that Bromley is in line with vast swaths of the country but provides less services than some other London boroughs – particularly the Inner London boroughs.
• While reported Domestic Violence incidences have fallen by 12% in the last year (1,837 reports in 09/10 compared to 2,089 reports in 08/09) Police data shows that, in Bromley, between May 2007 and May 2010 there were 930 Domestic Violence incidents where a young person (under the age of 18) was present. The figures also show a steady increase in those incidents over the 3 year period.
• The increase can not be viewed on face value as one aspect for the increase in the increase in and accuracy of recording children and young people since the Baby P incident.

Safeguarding Referrals
• The death of Baby Peter in August 2007 has led to a marked increase in the number of referrals made to Childrens’ Social Services across the UK and Bromley is no exception.
The number of Initial Contacts to social services increased from 4,990 in 2007 to 6,109 in 2009. (An increase of 22.4%)
The number of assessments covering child protection (S47 assessment) increased from 428 in 2007 to 504 in 2009 (an increase of 17.8%).
The number of children subject to a Child Protection Plan increased from 141 in 2007 to 167 in 2009 (an increase of 18.4%).
There were 182 new Child Protection Plans issued during 2008/09, compared to 141 in each of the previous 2 years (an increase of 29.1%).

Key Messages for Bromley
Key Messages for Bromley
• Increased numbers of young people as victims may require an increase in promoting safety among children and looking at the support system for young victims of crime.
• Perception of violence and crime for children and young people is greater than actual crime, but highlights again the cross-cutting nature of emotional well-being.
• The number of children present at incidents of domestic violence in Bromley has increased over the past 3 years, this is partly due to improved recording but highlights an area where closer monitoring of this would be required.
• Ensure that agencies work effectively together to support safeguarding.
• An above average ethnic minority cohort present in Bromley Looked After Children
• A sustained increase in the number of safeguarding referrals, assessments and child protection plans since 2007. • The birth spike and rolling peak in the age groups will mean that statistically we can potentially expect an further increase in the
number of safeguarding referrals, protection plans and entering care.
Actions for Bromley
• There will be a need to manage the consequences of increased referrals and assessments prompted by a greater public awareness of the issue of safeguarding.
• Planning and preparation will be required to deal with the projected increase the birth spike will bring to the number of children who enter the safeguarding system.
• There will be a need to monitor the effectiveness of early intervention through processes such as the Common Assessment Framework (CAF), and to breakdown the numbers and origin of referrals for measuring incidents such as Domestic Violence.

Summary
• Bullying was less of an issue for the Bromley pupils responding to the TellUs 4 survey than both nationally and for statistical neighbours; 59% stating they had not been bullied, and 21% worry about being bullied, however 41% of a pupil population of 47,000 is a large number of pupils experiencing bullying in real terms.
• A high number of pupils did not feel that their schools were good at dealing with bullying. Furthermore, the TellUs 4 survey indicated that those Bromley pupils surveyed did not feel their school had listened their ideas over what was important to them, with Bromley below both national and statistical neighbours on the issue.
• Absence rates in Bromley continue to improve but are behind target; however persistent absence in secondary schools is on target.
• Bromley has made progress on reducing the level of permanent exclusions.
• First time entrants to the youth justice system in Bromley over 2008 and 2009 has fallen by almost half, but reoffending rates are slightly higher than the target rate.
• Young Offenders in Education, Employment or Training remains short of the 90% target.
• Bromley Drug Action Team has seen an increased take up of treatment services particularly among targeted ethnic minorities.
• TellUs 4 indicates that participation by Bromley pupils in positive activities is at the national average, but behind our statistical neighbours.

* Termly collection of data also signified an extension to the scope of exclusions data collected via School Census. From the 2005/06 school year, the SC collected information on fixed period exclusions and the reasons for exclusion. Previously this information had been collated via the Termly Exclusions Survery which was discontinued after the collection of data relating to the 2004/05 school year. This change to the collection does present a gap in the information collected from Primary and Special Schools for Fixed Period Exclusions.

• Youth offending and attendance is a category with links to many other aspects: deprivation levels, school attainment, anti-social and criminal behaviour later in life and there is a strong drive to tackle youth offending.
• Behaviour in school can often be an indicator as studies show a high number of pupils who have been permanently excluded go onto become young offenders.
• In Bromley, youth offending in predominately around the offences of; theft and handling, violence against the person, criminal damage, drugs, motoring and breach of statutory order.
• The vast majority (over 80%) of youth offenders known to the Bromley youth Offending Team are white, followed by mixed race, Black or Black British then Asian or Asian British.
• The number of First Time Entrants has been fallen over the last seven quarters.

Youth Offending 2
• There is a target of 90% of young offenders supervised by Youth Offending Teams to be in suitable full-time education, training or employment. This has varied up and down over the past year a half, but is performing well in comparison with London and national figures.
• There has been greater success with offenders of statutory school age, as one might expect, and varied success with those above statutory school age.

Reoffending
• The frequency is the rate of reoffences per 100 offenders (the number of reoffences divided by the cohort). As individuals can commit multiple offences the rate can increase to over 100.
• The Jan-Mar 2008 rate of proven reoffences is 1.42 reoffences per person

Substance Misuse
• The Bromley Drug Action Team, a partnership responsible for implementing the recommendations for the National Strategy for Substance Misuse at a local level, have produced a needs assessment around substance misuse for young people in Bromley.
• Of the Young People in Treatment in 2008/09, 64% were male and 36% were female, a ratio identical to the London-wide figure and similar to the national figure.
• Progress has been made in forging links with the ethnic groups by the Drug Actions Team reflected by an increased engagement in treatment by young Black people.
• Bromley’s age profile for Young People under the age of 18 in treatment is higher than the London and national age profiles with the number of 13 and 14 year olds.

Bullying
• The TellUs 4 survey results gave a positive response on the issue of bullying with 59% of pupils surveyed stating they had never been bullied (better than national and statistical neighbour rates). However, 41% of Bromley’s pupil population represents a large number in real terms of young people who are experiencing bullying.
• Of those who had been bullied, 49% were bullied more than a year prior to the survey and for 50% of those bullied the incidents were infrequent, noted as a few times within the year, although 20% of that group were experiencing bullying most days.
• 85% stated they had not been bullied on their journey to school (better than the national figure of 79%).
• Bullying was also less of a worry for the Bromley pupils surveyed, with 21% worried about being bullied (compared to 25% nationally).
• However schools did not fare as well in the perception of how they dealt with bullying, only 19% thinking the school dealt very well with the issue (25% nationally) and 16% feeling the school dealt badly with the issue (only 11% nationally).

• Continued monitoring of absence to ensure levels continue to decrease.
• Schools were not seen as dealing particularly well with the issue of bullying.
• Further focus on meeting the 90% target for young offender in EET and the reoffending rate.

Summary
• Bromley is an affluent borough, looking back to the 2001 Census, Bromley had a low number (13.88%) of households with dependent children and no employed adults, well below the London average and lower than the England and Wales rate.
• 33% of pupils surveyed in the TellUs 4 survey noted costs as being the biggest obstacle to preventing them doing the activities they would have liked, higher than nationally.
• 31% of pupils surveyed listed money as a source of frequent worry, again this was higher than national and statistical neighbours.
• Bromley has a low proportion of young people Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET).
• Bromley’s proportion of care leavers in employment, education or training has been increasing and above the London and National average 0f 2009.
• Around 90% of Bromley’s care leavers are placed within suitable accommodation, in line with statistical neighbours.
• Bromley is performing well for care leavers in Employment, Education or Training, and inline with the percentage of care leavers living in suitable accommodation.Back to Transition to Adulthood

Employment in Bromley
• The 2001 Census indicates that the range of occupations of Bromley residents differs to those of London. There are proportionately fewer people employed in professional and technical occupations and more managers and senior officials and those in administrative and skilled trades.
• Looking at type of industry people are employed in, it is clear that construction, financial intermediation and wholesale & retail trade make up a substantial part of the industry type.
• Another measure of the nature of residents in an area is the National Statistics Socio-economic Classifications (NS-SeC). Looking at the NS-SeC Class recorded via the Census shows a higher proportion of lower managerial and intermediate classes in Bromley, in addition to the high proportion of administrative and secretarial employment, this would suggest that despite being a generally affluent borough, it does in fact have more employees in relatively
low paying jobs than in comparison to the London average.

Earnings
• The chart below shows the gross household income levels in Bromley. Gross household income includes income from all sources such as earnings, pensions, interest on savings, rent from property and state benefits, but does not include housing benefit.
• This measure of income is different from individual earnings and household income is often used as a guide to how much a household can afford to spend on housing.
• The chart indicates that 40% of Bromley households have an income of over £40,000 and 28% of households have an annual income of less than £15,000. The fact that nearly a third of household income is at this low level will place a greater demand for affordable housing and for the private rented properties.
• The map shows how average household incomes vary across Bromley (darker shading indicating a higher average) with areas to the north of the borough typically being associated with higher incomes. Back to Transition to Adulthood

Unemployment Figures
• There has been a continuing increase in unemployment within Bromley over the past year. This is in keeping with what is being experienced nationwide as a result of the recession. Comparatively however, the increase in unemployment has been significantly lower than the London average and neighbouring boroughs.

Unemployment Figures 2
• Those wards with the highest rate of difference (the greatest increase in unemployment) are the wards that had the highest rate of unemployment back in January 2009, with the five wards with the highest rate of claimants have the highest increase in claimants over the year. Similarly the five wards with the lowest rate of unemployment were all among the lowest six wards in rising unemployment, indicating a growing disparity among those areas of deprivation.
• It should be noted that measuring unemployment figures solely from Jobseeker Allowance claimants will not give a truly accurate picture as there could be people who do not claim benefits even though they are not working.
• According to the unemployment figures for February 2010, of the 5,930 Jobseekers Allowance claimants, 1,460 (24.6%) were by 16-24 year olds. Breaking that down further into an age split, the majority of claimants 66.10% are between 20 and 24. There are roughly equal proportions of 18 and 19 year olds claiming with a small and very small proportion of 17 and under 17 year olds respectively.
• In comparison with London, Bromley is in the middle, matching the London-wide figure for 16-24 year old claimants.

• The Greater London Authority Labour Force predictions show a very small reduction in the percentage of both male and female and 16-17 and 18-24 economically active population over the next eight years. Given the small nature of the change against the margin of error in projections we can assume the proportions to remain constant at this time.

Childcare
• Formal childcare for low-income families is seen to bring several benefits: it has a positive effect on a child’s social and emotional development and gives young children a head start in life. It is seen as a key indicator in closing the gap in attainment between children from low income families and their more affluent peers.
• Bromley has shown constant and strong improvement in the take-up of formal childcare by low-income working families.
• Costs in London are higher than the national regional average, and in Bromley significantly more so.

• Unsuitable housing is an important issue as it can include overcrowding, with relation to children, Bromley defines the ‘bedroom standard’ by which overcrowding is based on being able to provide a bedroom for each pair of children of the same gender, each pair of children aged under 10, and each remaining child that has been paired.
• According to the Bromley Household Survey 2009, 39.7% of allthe unsuitable housing within the borough of Bromley have children living in them.
• Geographically the highest proportion of unsuitable housing are found in the north west and north east corners of the borough, again relating strongly to the principle areas of deprivation.

Looked After Children
• The term 'looked after' was introduced by the Children Act in 1989 and refers to children who are subject to care orders and those who are accommodated.
• Looked After Children are a well-established vulnerable group, at higher risk to poor mental health and behavioural problems. They are also at higher risk of low attainment, teenage conceptions and youth offending.
• In July 2010 Bromley had, 293 Looked After Children in Bromley: 167 male (57%) and 126 female (43%).
• The majority of Looked After Children are between 12 and 17 years old, with a relatively balanced split between male and female across the age range. Next

Looked After Children 3
• The attainment of Locked After Children over time has varied with both increases and decreases in attainment at all levels. A changing cohort means that performance may be very variable depending on the circumstances of the children concerned, and the small numbers involved mean the percentages are very subject to individual performance, an individual child can account for 10% for example.
• The 2009 results show that Bromley Looked After Children met the target for attainment at Key Stage 2 English and Maths, but fell short of 17% target for five A*-C GCSE or equivalent (including English and Maths) at Key Stage 4.

Gypsy and Travellers
• Bromley has a substantial gypsy and traveller population which is mostly located in the north-east corner of the Borough. They are primarily are static travellers. Obtaining quality information and data about this vulnerable group is very difficult as traditionally the traveller community are a hard to reach group. A lot of information gathered tends to be anecdotal.
• Significant inequalities among gypsy and traveller populations have been shown in a number of national studies: Average life expectancy is 10 years less for men and 12 years less for women than the non – gypsy and
traveller population (Department for Communities and Local Government 2007) 17.6% of Gypsy and Traveller mothers have experienced the death of a child, compared to 0.9% of the settled
population (Department for Communities and Local Government 2007) Gypsies and Travellers suffer significantly more health problems than any other minority ethnic groups in the
UK, and report up to five times more health problems than the general population (Parry et al 2004).
• Needs Assessment work in 2008 identifying several areas where further consultation and exploration was required to identify any issues or service needs in the following areas. Those included; maternal and child health, sexual health and teenage pregnancy.
• Ofsted has reported that Gypsy, Roma and Traveller pupils have the lowest results of any ethnic minority group and are the groups most at risk in the education system.
• Gypsy/Romany ethnic pupils in Bromley reflect this, and although it should be noted that problems in recording the information mean that the figures can not be taken as wholly accurate, the attainment results for the group are significantly lower than all other ethnic groups.
• The 2008 Bromley health and educational needs assessment key findings were that literacy skills were reported to be poorer among gypsy and traveller children compared to the general population. Secondary school education was less valued by the gypsy and traveller community, who felt discriminated against, particularly by other children, and this was reflected in attendance and attainment.
• There was anecdotal evidence of high teenage pregnancy among girls and an expectation on boys to leave school early to work, leading to a lack of qualifications and difficulties in finding employment. Therefore the numbers who are NEET are likely to be high.

Young Carers
• As at the 31st March 2010, Carers Bromley had 611 young carers known to them (525 who access the Carers Bromley services and 86 who have made themselves known but not at this time accessing the support services offered).
• The youngest carer known to Carers Bromley is 4 years old. The split between young carers of primary school age and secondary school age is about even, with slightly more of the current carers known being of secondary school age.
• The male, female split of young carers is pretty equal, with female young carers having a slight majority at 55.2%
• Despite ethnic groups only comprising of around 12% of the borough population, nearly 30% of young carers known to Carers Bromley are non-white. (This is only data on those young carers known, and the reality may be slightly different but it also may suggest a cultural aspect where ethnic groups have a greater tendency to provide care for family members in the family.)
• Looking at the location of where young carers are living, shows a correlation with the areas of deprivation. BR5 covering the Crays, and SE20 the Penge, Crystal Palace area.

Children with Disabilities and Special Education Needs
• More babies with birth trauma and congenital disorders are surviving, coupled with increased ascertainment, an ongoing increase is expected in the numbers of people with severe LD and complex needs.
• In 1981, the prevalence of 5 – 14 year olds with severe / complex needs was 0.19%, in 1991 it had risen to 0.21% and in 2001 it was 0.4%, almost doubling in only 10 years. A 16% increase in prevalence is forecast from 2001 to 2011 and a 22% increase from 2001 to 2021 across all age ranges.
• Prevalence often appears higher in 15-19 year olds than in young children due to delay in diagnosis. (Case ascertainment is more complete with increasing age, as milder degrees of impairment care more likely to be identified later).
• As younger, more complex clients require services, the relatively high costs associated with caring for these individuals means that average costs will rise.
• Cautions around estimates of prevalence rates: There is a wide spectrum of disorder. Definitions are not standardised. Severity appears higher, because those with severe impairment are
more likely to use services. Co-existing conditions are under-diagnosed.

Children with Disabilities and Special Education Needs 2
• There are currently 17.9% of pupils in Bromley schools with some measure of Special Educational Need. 8.5% have been identified as requiring school action, 6.0% school action plus and 3.4% of the school population has a full statement. Overall there has been little variation in these figures over the last five years. School action plus is the SEN type with the most fluctuation having increased from 5.2% of the school population in 2005 to 6.0%.
• SEN rates are almost identical between BME and non-BME groups although there are a higher proportion of males with SEN than females. In 2009:
9.8% of boys had School Action compared to 7.2% of girls 7.6% of boys had School Action Plus compared to 4.4% of girls 5.1% of boys were Statemented compared to 1.8% of girls
• The number of new statements issued has increased from a low of 152 in 2005 to 250 in 2009. (An increase of 64.5%)
• Bromley now maintains 1797 statements of SEN, the highest since 2005, equating to 2.44% of the 0-19 population.

Back to Vulnerable Groups
Black and Minority Ethnic
• Minority ethnic groups can sometimes are classed as a vulnerable group as for some with that category may be hard to reach individuals, cultural, social and language barriers can prevent the access of services or impact the effectiveness of delivering services.
• Bromley, as an Outer London Borough, has a relatively low ethnic population of around 37,000 (12%). This ethnic population is predominately located in the north-west of the borough where Bromley borders with boroughs with higher proportions of ethnic populations, as the table showing the difference in ethnic groups by Strategic Planning Area.
• Looking more specifically at children and young people and the 0-19 age range, we can see some differences to the overall population trends.
• 0-19 Ethnicity is increasing in the same trend as overall borough ethnicity but at a greater rate. Looking at the comparison with the borough figures (the dotted lines) shows that the 0-19 population is ahead of the overall borough population in terms of ethnicity.

Ethnicity spread by Strategic Planning Area
Black and Minority Ethnic 2
• Breaking that down further into the age bands, and looking at BME as a percentage of each borough age band, we can clearly see the 0-4 age band is projected to be the biggest percentage of the BME population.
• The overall resident population is increasing but the trend is must more marked in the younger population.
• It is important with regards to the younger ethnic population of Bromley to realise that the school population will have a different demographic to the residential population, with 20% of Bromley’s school population coming from neighbouring boroughs – mainly Lewisham and Croydon.
• Comparing the percentage of ethnicity of school age children within Bromley against the percentage ethnicity spread from the School Censuses 2006-2010 shows that the schools have a significantly higher proportion of ethnic pupils – around 10% larger. Looking geographically at the School Census 2010 data shows that schools in those Strategic Planning Areas in the North of the borough bordering on Lewisham, Southwark, Greenwich and Lambeth (SPA1; SPA2; SPA4; and SPA6).

Bromley Free School Meals versus Non-Free School Meal at Key Stage 2 Level 4+
Children in Poverty and Free School Meals 3
• “The Child Poverty in London: 2007 Update” released by the Greater London Authority indicated that in August 2006 Bromley ranked 206th out of 408 local authorities in Great Britain for child poverty, with 10,900 or 15.5% of children living in families with a relatively low income∗ and receiving key benefits.
• Whilst that means that, in the context of Great Britain, Bromley ranked about midway, out of the 32 London local authorities Bromley has one of the lowest child poverty figures. The extent of child poverty in statistically similar neighbouring boroughs varies: e.g., Bexley ranks 194 (16.6% children in families on key benefits) and Lewisham ranks a high 22 (with 32.5% of children living in families on key benefits. On the whole, however, child poverty in London local authorities ranges from 50.9% in Tower Hamlets (ranked 1 in Great Britain) to 9.2% in Richmond Upon Thames (ranked 339 in Great Britain) in August 2006.

Back to Needs Assessment Themes
The changing demographics play the largest part in shaping the next five years, the overall slight decline in population among 0-19 year olds mean that as a percentage of the population, service numbers will show a corresponding decrease.
Yet the 2008/09 birth spike creates a ‘rolling’ peak, this has hit the 5-9 age band in 2015, but will impact secondary schools, youth activity, post-16 services with increasing numbers in the years to follow.
Borough ethnicity continues to steadily increase, but it is the school population that will see a real increase in diversity, impacting on English as an Additional Language, BME Attainment, and cultural understanding and support within schools.
