Report Shows Level Of Deprivation in Sheffield

Report Shows Level Of Deprivation in Sheffield

Sheffield is the 57th most deprived local authority in England says a new report – which counts rates of health and disability among its factors.

The Indices Of Deprivation 2019 is the follow-up to similar reports from 2015 and 2010. Other factors considered are income, employment, education and training, barriers to housing and services, crime and the living environment. It follows an established methodological framework in broadly defining deprivation to encompass a wide range of an individual’s living conditions. People may be considered to be living in poverty if they lack the financial resources to meet their needs, whereas people can be regarded as deprived if they lack any kind of resources, not just financial ones.

For the study England is divided into 32,844 areas with an average of 1,500 people living in each of these and are known as Lower Super Output Areas. There are 345 of these in Sheffield. Nearly a quarter of these are in the most deprived nationally.

The health and disability factor measures the risk of premature death and impairment of quality of life through poor physical or mental health. These are the details of the indices of deprivation for Sheffield.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.
