1. Introduction
This is the Devon Joint Strategic Needs Assessment for the Axminster area, which also encompasses surrounding rural
parishes.
The aim of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment is to collaboratively identify current and future health and well being
needs and inform future service planning and delivery. The profile contains a range of socio-demographic and health
related data, which together provide a detailed assessment of current need and service activity at a local level. In
addition to data relating to Axminster, information has been provided for the other market towns, and for Devon as a
whole so that Axminster can be compared to these other areas.
Data for this report was gathered and collated by the NHS Devon Information Teams, and the Devon County Council
Adult and Community Service and Children and Young Peoples Service and Strategic Intelligence teams.
A glossary will be made available providing detailed definitions and background information for the measures in this
report. At the back of this report there is an appendix of references to other documents providing more detailed
information on the topic areas covered in this profile.
Any feedback or questions concerning the information in this report would be gratefully received. We would be keen to
receive feedback on whether you recognise the community as described in the profile, if you feel there is any key
information missing or there are any local priorities or issues you wish to identify. Please email the NHS Devon Public
Health Intelligence Team at [email protected].

Figure 6: Map of BME prevalence in Devon (2001) Data Source: 2001 Census
2. Population
More up to date information relating to the prevalence of the BME population in schools (see Section 6.4) suggests that
since 2001 there may have been around a five fold increase in BME over the past 10 years.
Until the release of the 2011 census data, there is very little up to date information relating to the proportion of people
from a black or minority ethnic background. The map below, which is based on data from the 2001 census, shows that in
Axminster the proportion of the population from a BME background is 0.4%, compared to a rate of 1.1% for Devon.

4. Life Expectancy
The average life expectancy for the population of Axminster is 81.4 years. This is 0.1 years shorter than the Devon
average(81.6), which is not a statistically significant difference. The average life expectancy in Devon is higher than the
national average of 80.2 years.
Birth rates are calculated using the number of births registered annually and are usually expressed as a rate per 1000
population (females aged 15 to 44). Over the last 5 years the birth rate in Devon has increased by 8.2%. The graph shows
that in Axminster the birth rate per 1000 women aged 15 to 44 is 48.9, compared to a rate of 52.8 per 1000 for Devon.
The rate for Axminster is not statistically different to the Devon rate.

A further indicator of the health of an area is the death (mortality) rate. Mortality rates (standardised for age and sex)
for 19 causes of death have been calculated at a market town Devon level (using deaths registered between 2005 and
2009). The spine chart below compares these rates, and shows whether there is a statistically significant difference
between the market town and Devon rate.

The graph below shows that the percentage of pupils living in in Axminster who have a statement is 2.6%, compared to
3.4% for Devon overall. The rate for Axminster is not statistically different to the Devon rate.
Statements
In 2011, the number of pupils with additional needs (i.e. Statements, School Action Plus and School Action combined) in
England was 1.67 million, around 21% of pupils. In Devon the percentage is currently 23% (2011). The graphs below
illustrate the percentage of young people supported at School Action Plus and with a Statement based on their home
address. Other pupils who need additional support are provided with this within their school as part of core provision.
Where there are significant variations it reflects the level of support needed within the community. It is the aim of the
authority to enable children with special educational needs to access services and provision within their local
communities wherever possible. Some children with complex needs will require access to specialist support in
additionally resourced provision or special schools.

6. Children and Young People
6.2 Youth Offending
The graph below shows that the rate of Youth Offending Team clients in Axminster is 6.8 per 1,000 children aged 10-17
compared to 13.2 per 1,000 for Devon overall.
The principle aim of the Youth Justice System is to prevent offending by children and young people aged 10-17. The life
chances of young people who receive a criminal conviction are adversely affected in both the short and long term.
Evidence suggests that preventing the onset of offending and persistent re-offending will improve outcomes for those
children and young people, their families and communities.
The level of offending by children and young people is relatively low in Devon. 938 young people offended in 2010-11,
which equates to 9.8 offences per 1000 population aged 10 to 17. Of these, 491 were first time offenders, 326 were
repeat offenders and 121 were persistent offenders.
The total number of young people aged 10-17 years who offended in Devon has fallen by 31% between 2008-9 and
2009-10 and the overall number of offences committed has fallen by 33% within the same period. The highest number
of offences committed in 2010-11 was violence against the person (23%), theft & handling (17%) and criminal damage
(13%) whereas drug related offences have increased most significantly from 107 offences in 2008-9 to 141 in 2010-11 (32%).
Within Devon, such small numbers of First Time Entrants (FTEs) can cause significant statistical variations from one year
to the next, particularly in the smaller towns and communities. In general, around two thirds of FTEs do not reoffend,
but the pattern of those who re-offend more persistently (Persistent Youth Offenders - PYOs) is even more liable to
fluctuation outside of the four largest communities (Barnstaple, Exeter, Exmouth and Newton Abbot). Preventative
work by the Youth Offending Service and Children's Trust is increasingly focused, therefore, on the towns where there is
a longer term pattern of FTEs and PYOs above the Devon average.

6.3 GCSE Performance
6. Children and Young People
Figure 13: Percentage of children attaining five or more GCSE grades A-C, 2010 - Data Source: Devon LDP and Strategic
Commissioning - Children
The graph shows that of those living in Axminster , the percentage of Devon County Council school children attaining
five or more GCSE grades A-C is 66.7%. The rate for Axminster is not statistically different to the Devon rate.
Key Stage 4 results improved again in 2010 (54.7% gaining 5 A*C including English and Maths), showing an improvement
of nearly 3% on 2009, exceeding the national average by 1.7%. Girls are still outperforming boys with 60.4% to 49.1%
gaining 5 A*C (inc. E&M). 14.4% of students achieved the new recently introduced English Baccalaureate measure, in
comparison to the national figure of 15.1%.
The Local Authority has established a ‘Closing the Gap’ Programme to improve the attainment of the lowest 20% of
achievers, raising their attainment closer to the Devon average. Particular focus areas will be boys, those eligible for

In 2011 there were 4,663 pupils from a minority ethnic background in Devon schools (4,580 of which were resident in
Devon). This represents 5.2% of the total maintained school population, an increase of around 5% in the last 3 years.
Over 40 schools now have more than 10% of their roll recorded as BME. However, in contrast, there are still a few
schools with no BME pupils. The largest numbers are White Eastern European (637) and White Western European (555).
The graph shows that in Axminster the percentage of pupils from a black or minority ethnic background is 4.4%. The rate
for Axminster is not statistically different to the Devon rate.

In 2011 there were 2,579 pupils speaking English as an Additional Language in Devon schools (2,551 of which were
resident in Devon). This represents 2.9% of the total maintained school population, an increase of around 50% in the
last 3 years (much of this increase is likely to be due to improved recording). There are around 100 different languages
spoken by children and young people in Devon schools, the largest minority languages in 2011 being Polish (381) and
Arabic (139) and 90+ speaking German, Bengali and Malayalam. The graph shows that in Axminster the percentage of
pupils whose first language is not English is 1.7%. The rate for Axminster is statistically lower than the Devon rate.

assessment. This information includes all those new clients assessed during the 12 month period April 2010 to March
2011.
Reviews of current needs are carried out for existing adult social care services users. This information counts all those
existing clients who have had a review completed in the 12 month period from April 2010 to March 2011.
This information relates to people receiving community based social care at any point during the year April 2010 to
March 2011, where the care was commissioned or provided by Devon Adult and Community Services. These services
include day care, home care, meals, direct payments, professional support and equipment /minor adaptations.
For each of these groups, a range of adult social care information is provided, which includes a comparison of the rates
for the market town on the following topic areas:

Residential/ nursing care
The following section provides information relating to the social care services and support provided to the 18-64
population of Axminster with a learning disability.
It has also been estimated that 110 service users in Devon are living with carers over 70 years of age and this figure is
likely to grow as people with learning disabilities and their carers live longer.
10,752 people in Devon aged 18-64 are predicted to have a learning disability (baseline estimate). Based on population
projections, this number will increase by 4% to 11,199 by 2030. Data Source: CSED www.pansi.org.uk version 4.0.
Of the 10,752 baseline estimate for 2010, 2,409 people are predicted to have a severe or moderate learning disability.
Severe learning disability is relatively evenly spread in the population, but mild to moderate learning disability is linked
to poverty and rates are higher in deprived and urban areas.
The Devon Learning Disability Health Needs Assessment 2008 states that other factors which also lead to an increase in
the number of people with a learning disability include:
longer life expectancy (especially for people with down's syndrome), with the number of adults over 60 with
learning disabilities expected to increase by 36% between 2001 and 2021

7.2 Adults with Learning Disabilities
The graph below shows that the proportion of adults with learning disabilities living in a care home in Axminster who
received residential or nursing care services during the year April 2010 to March 2011 was 2 per 1000 population aged
18 to 64 compared to 0.9 for Devon overall. The rate for Axminster is statistically higher than the Devon rate.
more children and young people with complex and multiple disabilities surviving into adulthood – this raises
important issues for “Transitions Planning” (on average 35 children and young people with either a severe or
profound multiple learning disability in Devon will transfer to adult learning disability services each year for the
next four years.)

7. Adults
The following shows the 2010 estimates for people predicted to have various mental health conditions living in Devon:
It is predicted that these figures will rise by 3% by 2030, with the exception of antisocial personality disorder which is
predicted to increase by 5%.

The association between rates of mental illness and certain population characteristics – notably poverty, unemployment
and social isolation – is well established. This association is evidenced when analysing Incapacity Benefit (mental health
reasons) claimant rates by Devon town (2007 rates), where we see that Ilfracombe has the highest claimant rate,
followed by Dawlish and then Bideford & Northam. All three rank in the top five most deprived towns in Devon.

The following section provides information relating to the social care services and support provided to the 18-64
population of Axminster with a mental health condition.
Older people with dementia usually continue to live at home with support, but may benefit from specialist
accommodation, including extra care housing. There were an estimated 12,561 people suffering from Dementia in
Devon in 2010, this is predicted to rise significantly to 23,076 by 2026 (a rise of 84% in 16 years).
The most common mental health problems in older people are depression and dementia. Depression affects
proportionately more older people than any other demographic group, because older people face more events and
situations that may trigger depression: physical illness, debilitating physical conditions, bereavement, poverty and
isolation. The majority of people who have depression make a full recovery after appropriate treatment, and older
people are just as responsive to treatment as younger people. Communities and support services can help older people
address some of the causes of depression such as social isolation, financial problems, or difficulties with their
accommodation.
Residential/ nursing care
The graph below shows that the proportion of adults aged 18 -64 with a mental health condition living in a care home
in Axminster who received residential or nursing care services during the year April 2010 to March 2011 was 0 per 1000

Evidence shows that, of those for whom carers provide support:
- 62% have a physical disability
- 6% experience mental ill health, including dementia
-
- 14% are older person with age-related care needs
Data Source: http://www.devon.gov.uk/devon_carers_strategy_finaldrafttargetted_consultation_sept_2009.pdf
The Carers Health Needs Assessment 2008 indicates the impact of caring on carers’ health:
-
- 39% of carers reported an impact on their physical and mental health
- 20% reported feeling tired or had a general feeling of stress
- 17% felt short tempered
- 14% reported feeling depressed or experienced disturbed sleep
If Devon is to achieve its ambition of increasing by 10% the number of people with moderate to severe dementia who
are helped to remain at home by 2013, a range of support services for carers will be essential. The rising prevalence of
chronic illness and the commitment to support people to stay in the community through self-care, choice and
personalised care planning will have an impact on both current and future carers. Source: Devon Carers Health Needs

7.5 Carers Services/Support and User/Carer Feedback
The Devon Carers Health Needs Assessment 2008 indicates that more than 72,400 people (of all ages) in Devon have a
caring role (Census 2001 figures), 12% (approximately 8,700) of whom were aged 65 years and older, with 6,300 or 9%
aged 75 years of age or over. The Census 2001 indicates that in Devon there are just over 2,000 young carers aged up to
19 years (less than 3% of carers of all ages), although it is believed that there are significantly more. Roughly half of
young carers – 1,084 – are aged below 16 years of age. Of the 8,700 carers in Devon aged 65+, 2,884 are providing
unpaid care to a partner, family member or other person, but consider themselves to be in poor health. Data Source:
Census 2001
18% have both a mental and physical disability – which could include learning disability, or dependence on drugs or
alcohol
47% of elderly carers report a limiting long-term illness compared to 41% of people the same age in the general
population
14,400 (20%) of carers provide more than 50 hours of care and support per week. Across the county the numbers vary
with the highest proportion in several of the North Devon towns and the coastal areas of East Devon – those areas with
a higher older-age population.

Carer assessments and reviews
The graph below shows that the proportion of adult carers aged 18+ receiving an assessment or review in Axminster is
15.2 per 1000 population aged 18+ compared to 14.9 for Devon overall. The rate for Axminster is not statistically
different to the Devon rate.
The statutory Adult Social Care Survey (ASCS) was undertaken for the first time in February 2011. 1099 questionnaires
were posted to clients over 18 from all client groups and receiving any type of service and 454 responses were received.
The results of the survey have been analysed in terms of positive responses as a percentage of all responses to each
question (i.e. Q. Which of the following statements best describes how much control you have over your daily life? A. I
have as much control over my daily life as I want; I have adequate control over my daily life).
Due to the volume of survey responses received, it is not feasible to analyse the results at a Devon Town level. However
a District analysis is available in the JSNA District Profiles, which shows the results for a selection of key questions from
the survey. This can be found on the Devon Health and Wellbeing Website:

7.7 Smoking
Figure 46: Modelled Medium Super Output Area Smoking prevalence in Devon (2003-05) - Data Source:Healthy
Lifestyle Behaviours, Model Based Estimates
Current smoking rates in England are 21% generally
and 26% for routine and manual groups (R/M). For
Devon the most recent estimated smoking rate is
18.5% . However, in the South West smoking rates
for R/M groups are 25%. Although Devon overall has
tobacco use lower than the national average, there
are 76/201 wards where tobacco attributable
mortality is higher than expected and three regions
(Exeter, North Devon and Torridge) where the
indirectly standardised mortality ratio is higher than
expected This indicates that there are pockets where
there is a strong need for tobacco control work. In
Devon around 1 in 8 women smoke in pregnancy
(12%). Although this is better than the national
average, the impact is startling. Smoking during
pregnancy is estimated to contribute to 40% of all
infant deaths. Highest smoking rates are in the
deprived populations and is the leading factor in
increased health inequalities. Figure 45: Inset map for Axminster
