Equalities data and needs analysis
Data on equalities and the characteristics of our residents and service users is routinely collected by each service area. There are a number of key documents which contain this data:
Facts and figures
The facts and figures pages show detailed statistics about the borough from a wide variety of sources.
Joint Strategic Needs Assessment
The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) is an analysis of the health and social care needs of the borough. Where the data is available, this is broken down into analysis of needs by protected characteristic.
Resident’s survey
The Resident’s Survey, carried out every two years, interviews a representative sample of Ealing residents and seeks their views on living in Ealing. This data can be broken down by protected characteristics to tell us how people from different equalities groups feel about their neighbourhood and the services provided by the council. For the 2014 Resident’s Survey, a representative sample was interviewed, with quotas set by age, gender, ethnicity and tenure. There were a minimum of 90 interviews in each of the 23 wards across the borough. The data has also been weighted by age, gender, tenure, ethnicity and wards.
In addition, the data collected by individual services is used to inform the development of key strategies and plans, such as:
- Corporate Plan
- Children and Young People’s Plan
- Work and Skills Strategy
- Health and Wellbeing strategy
Key headline information from all of the above sources has been summarised into a summary needs assessment document. However the best source of more detailed information, including cross references across two or more protected characteristics (e.g. ethnicity of people with a disability) is the documents themselves.
