Outcomes and Indicators. The indicators set out within this Local Area Agreement are all taken from the new National Indicator set and fall into three categories: 1) Designated targets (35 in number) that are negotiated with Central Government through this LAA 2) Education and early years targets (16 in number) that are negotiated separately with Central Government, but included here for completeness – these are marked with a # 3) Local targets (3 in number) that are agreed locally due to restraints in overlap of ongoing Local Public Service Agreement 2 (LPSA2) targets or local circumstances preventing the target becoming ‘designated’ – these are marked with a ^ For each indicator, partners that are signed up to contributing to delivering the target are listed in the final column, with the lead partner marked with an *.

A Thriving Population Theme 1a – Opportunities for Everyone Everyone will have the opportunities they need to be successful in all aspects of life – being happy, healthy and independent. People living and working in Bracknell Forest will benefit from public services in the way that suits them best and offers them the greatest outcome for their needs. Outcome 1: Improve adult health This outcome aims to improve the health of the general adult population of Bracknell Forest by encouraging healthy lifestyles measured through the number of people stopping smoking and people’s participation in physical activity. For quitting smoking, the work will focus on the number of people Setting a Quit Date (SAQD) and staying quit at 4 weeks follow-up using Primary Care Trust (PCT) commissioned NHS Stop Smoking Services through specialized services, GP surgeries and pharmacies in a variety of settings. As well as targeting the general population, the work will focus on expectant mothers that smoke and young smokers from the relatively deprived areas of the borough. Note: the reward target is dependent on two elements. Firstly, that the area achieves the number of quitters as agreed with the Strategic Health Authority as illustrated below. In addition, from within this overall total (i.e. 519 quitters in 2010/11), there will be 30 additional quitters per year coming from deprived areas and groups as identified above. However, it has been impossible to set a baseline at this stage. At the refresh a baseline will be identified illustrating how many people from these identified groups are within the quitters programme. The ‘stretch’ element will be to enhance this by 30 quitters per year over the course of the LAA. There is increasing recognition as to the importance of regular physical activity as part of a healthy lifestyle. This is set against a backdrop where there is increasing evidence that current levels for the population of England are well below desirable levels. Extracts from Choosing Activity, published by DCMS in 2005 provides ‘…only 37% of men and 24% of women currently meet the Chief Medical Officer’s minimum recommendations for activity in adults…’. Adult participation in sport is measured by the Sport England survey, which was carried out in 2007 and is scheduled to be done again in 2008 and 2009. This was a previous LPSA2 target and so remains a local target in this LAA.

Although the Borough does not have a below National Average working age population below Level 2 there are correlations across the Borough linking low qualifications to worklessness with a particular emphasis on some particular client groups such as ethnic minority people and lone parents. This outcome will involve coordinating all providers in order to improve the marketing, capacity and availability of Level 2 qualifications as well as progression routes to Level 2 qualifications. Within Windsor and Maidenhead Grow Our Own (GOO) works directly with the Learning and Physical Disability support team to offer assistance to employment for their clients. This is also attached to a reward target as to how many of the clients are assisted into sustainable employment. One of the main aims is to work with partners to improve their achievements as well as our own, by being more efficient and collaborative. Over the next year GOO is expanding the provision it has mainly been delivering in Windsor and Maidenhead into Bracknell. This will include work tasters, pre employment support by way of soft people skills as well as direct job search and action based work. GOO focuses on retail and hospitality as this is where most of the job creation is expected and so our courses are related to hospitality, customer service, retail skills, language, people skills and self improvement. ▇▇▇ has set up a 'job club', a drop in session for anyone looking for work to give informal support, advice and information. We are also working on a 'Job Paper' that will have employers vacancies listed, job adverts, any training coming up and a spotlight on people looking to work. We have worked with employers on this concept and it is well-received and it is anticipated we will expand this into the Bracknell area.
