  3. More than half of Salford’s poor children live in the city’s six worst performing wards. The 2010 Salford average for children living in poverty is 28.6% compared with the national average of 20.6%. In 2009/10 this was equivalent to income levels before housing costs of: • £225 per week for a single adult with two dependent children under 14. • £294 per week for a couple with two dependent children under 14. This means that families living in poverty may have less than £11 per day per person to buy everything they need. Child Poverty Children and families are officially considered to be living in poverty if the household is either out of work and in receipt of benefits, or in receipt of tax credits where the reported income is less than 60% median income.

  4. Out of Work Benefits The number of Salford residents claiming out of work benefits has increased from 20. 3% in February 2011 to 20.9% over the last 12 months, this is higher than both the regional (18.2%) and national average (15%). However the increase is in line with the picture both regionally and nationally and reflects the impact the current financial climate is having on employment. Out-of-work benefits is a DWP term which covers the following benefits: Jobseeker's Allowance, Income Support, Employment and Support Allowance, Incapacity Benefit, Severe Disablement Allowance and Carer's Allowance.  % Proportion of working age population aged 16-64 estimates Data source: NOMIS July 2012

  5. Lone Parents In Salford the number of Lone Parents in receipt of Income Support has been falling across the majority of the wards, this trend is reflected both regionally and nationally, highlighting the impact of the welfare reforms. Lone parents are being moved from Income Support to JSA as soon as their youngest child reaches full time education (age 5).

  6. Benefits of a framework… For people/residents: • Improved services, better outcomes • Integrated delivery for individuals and families For commissioners: • Improved efficiency: a single, co-ordinated structure for investment and commissioning • More responsive commissioning, quicker turn around… • Shared set of outcomes and joint performance management framework For providers: • Consistent, common standards - transparency • Simplified process Please Note:If you do not get on the framework, your organisation could be excluded from many funding opportunities

  7. Outcomes Outcomes describe what we hope to achieve by commissioning a provider to deliver a service • Outcomes are about the changes that occur for participants, the impact of being involved in a project. • Progress measures are the steps taken in meeting the outcomes. Together the outcomes and progress measures can give a fuller picture of the real achievements of both clients and providers. Examples for collecting information on outcomes could include: • Questionnaires • Outcome measurement tools • Case studies • Consultations / feedback
