Local Authority Finance: Gross Current Expenditure - Education services (FIN_07_19)
No full textSummary
This indicator describes the annual gross service expenditure for Education services provided by every Local Authority in England since 2007. The gross expenditure describes the total spending by Local Authorities associated with delivering these services.
Technical description
The indicator was compiled from annual revenue outturn estimates of Local Authority (LA) revenue expenditure and financing. The Education services expenditure includes employee costs and running expenses for these services. Expenditure values are given on the basis of financial years, i.e. from April 1st to March 31st. Values are expressed in thousands (£). Since some services are provided in Upper Tier and others in Lower Tier LAs, individual spending figures from Upper Tier LAs were distributed to Lower Tier LAs based on annual population ratios (indicator FIN_07_19L), and Lower Tier LA spending was distributed to Upper Tier LAs by aggregating (indicator FIN_07_19U). Expenditure values from historic LA geography have been referenced to the 2018 LA geography. This includes changes in name/codes, merges, or splits of old LAs to new LAs based on population ratios for that year. The service expenditure is expressed as the total amount as well as per capita, for direct comparisons. However, expenditure figures were not adjusted for inflation
Local Authority Finance: Net Current Expenditure - Social Care services (FIN_07_05)
No full textSummary
This indicator describes the annual net expenditure for Social Care services provided by every Local Authority in England since 2002. After 2011, Social Care services are being individually reported as Adult and Children Social Care services. In order to keep comparisons possible, both types of services were aggregated to calculate spending for all Social Care services. The net expenditure for Social Care services is defined as the total (gross) Social Care services expenditure minus any income that may be related to delivering these services, such as sales, fees and charges.
Technical description
The indicator was compiled from annual revenue outturn estimates of Local Authority (LA) revenue expenditure and financing. The net expenditure for Social Care services is defined as the gross service expenditure minus any income that is related to delivering these services, in particular a) Sales, fees and charges and b) Other types of income. Expenditure values are given on the basis of financial years, i.e. from April 1st to March 31st. Values are expressed in thousands (£). Since some services are provided in Upper Tier and others in Lower Tier LAs, individual spending figures from Upper Tier LAs were distributed to Lower Tier LAs based on annual population ratios (indicator FIN_07_05L), and Lower Tier LA spending was distributed to Upper Tier LAs by aggregating (indicator FIN_07_05U). Expenditure values from historic LA geography have been referenced to the 2018 LA geography. This includes changes in name/codes, merges, or splits of old LAs to new LAs based on population ratios for that year. The service expenditure is expressed as the total amount as well as per capita for direct comparisons. However, expenditure figures were not adjusted for inflation

Values are expressed in thousands (£). Since some services are provided in Upper Tier and others in Lower Tier LAs, individual spending figures from Upper Tier LAs were distributed to Lower Tier LAs based on annual population ratios (indicator FIN_07_29L), and Lower Tier LA spending was distributed to Upper Tier LAs by aggregating (indicator FIN_07_29U).Expenditure values from historic LA geography have been referenced to the 2018 LA geography.

Local Authority Finance: Children's and Young People's Services (s251) - Safeguarding Children and Young People's Services (FIN_07_54)
No full textSummary
The Children's and Young People's services indicators are derived from the Section 251 (s251) revenue outturn expenditure. This indicator describes how much Local Authorities in England spent in Safeguarding Children and Young People’s services annually since 2010.
Technical description
The Children's and Young People's Services expenditure indicators are derived from the Section 251 (s251) Table A1 revenue outturn expenditure. Total values regarding Safeguarding Children and Young People’s services have been identified and aggregated from the relevant datasets. Spending amounts are categorised in Own Provision, Private, Other Public and Voluntary Provision. Total values presented in this indicator report the Total (Gross) Expenditure, i.e. the sum of the above, and the Total Net Expenditure, i.e. the gross total minus the income generated through services. Values are presented on the basis of financial years, i.e. from April 1st to March 31st. Spending figures regard Upper Tier Local Authorities. Figures from historic LA geography have been referenced to the 2018 LA geography. This includes changes in name/codes, merges, or splits of old LAs to new LAs based on population ratios for that year. Note that values were not adjusted for inflation
Housing Indicators: Local Authority Affordable Housing Supply - Affordable Rent Dwellings Completions (HS_14_03)
No full textSummary
The Affordable Rent Dwellings Completions present information on the amount of total completions of additional Affordable Rent dwellings provided by each Local Authority in England annually since 2011.
Technical description
The Affordable Rent Dwellings Completions is an estimate, calculated by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, of the total amount of affordable dwellings that are added each year per Local Authority (LA). The information is presented either as starts-on-site or completions; for this indicator, only completions were considered. Completions here includes new build, acquisitions and homes where the cost is met by a private developer. In some years, some figures could not be broken down below national level, so the sum of the local authority figures may not equal the total for England figure. Values are presented on the basis of financial years, i.e. from April 1st to March 31st. Affordable Rent Dwellings figures were calculated for both Lower Tier Local Authorities (HS_14_03L) and Upper Tier Local Authorities (HS_14_03U). Figures from historic LA geography have been referenced to the 2018 LA geography. This includes changes in name/codes, merges, or splits of old LAs to new LAs

Electronic data collection to enhance disease surveillance at the slaughterhouse in a smallholder production system
No full textGlobally, meat inspection provides data for animal health surveillance. However, paper-based recording of data is often not reported through to higher authorities in sufficient detail. We trialled the use of an electronic meat inspection form in Kenyan slaughterhouses, in lieu of the currently used paper-based format. Meat inspectors in two ruminant slaughterhouses completed and submitted an electronic report for each animal slaughtered at their facility. The reports, which captured information on the animal demographics and any eventual condemnations, were stored in a central database and available in real-time. A stakeholder meeting was held towards the end of the study. Over the 2.75 year study period, 16,386 reports were submitted; a downward linear trend in the monthly submissions was noted. There was a week effect, whereby more reports were submitted on the market day. Of the slaughtered animals, 23% had at least a partial condemnation. The most frequently condemned organs were the liver, lungs and intestines; the primary reasons for condemnations were parasitic conditions. Lack of feedback and difficulty capturing animal origin information were the primary challenges highlighted. The study demonstrated that electronic data capture is feasible in such challenging environments, thereby improving the timeliness and resolution of the data collected
