Measuring Deprivation

• The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation

(SIMD) is the official tool for finding the most deprived areas in Scotland. http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/SIMD

• 28 indicators across 7 SIMD Domains:

Employment, Income, Education, Health, Access, Crime and Housing

• Of 143 areas in the Scottish Borders, that are

used to measure the SIMD, 1.4% are in the most deprived 10% of Scotland.

Defining Children in Low Income Families

Proportion of children in low- income families = ( a) Children living in families in receipt of out-of- work benefits + b) Children living in families in receipt of tax credits with income below 60%

• f median )

c) Total number of children in the area

The Children in Low-Income Families Local Measure is the proportion of children living in families either in receipt of

• ut-of-work benefits or in receipt of tax credits with a

reported income which is less than 60 per cent of national median income. This measure provides a broad proxy for the relative low- income measure as used in the Child Poverty Act 2010 and enables analysis at a local level.
