The report of the Corporate Director of Public Health & Community Safety giving an overview of the key findings from the 2022 Oxfordshire Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) and plans for the continued development of JSNA resources was received.

The key findings from the report were outlined and it was highlighted that approval was sought for the document and more detailed information would be disseminated in ‘bite size’ pieces. It was noted that the 2023 JSNA would include the 2021 Census data.

Members raised a number of issues and responses were given as follows:

•        In respect of data/performance indicators regarding young people the JSNA provided information to feed in to other strategies and policies as was the case with other areas identified in the document.

•        It was clarified that the document provided information for a wide range of organisations and partners needed to use it as part of their reviews and planning of services.

•        The issue of loneliness in young adults was highlighted and that this was cross cutting topic impacting on a number of organisations. Members highlighted the role of schools and colleges in this regard.

•        In respect of young people’s Mental Health it was confirmed that the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) were represented on the new ICP as this was considered imperative.

•        It was suggested that community resilience was important and the inclusion of District Representatives could help with preventative initiatives.

RESOLVED to:

a)    Note the content of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment for 2022 and encourage widespread use of this information in planning, developing and evaluating services across the county; and

b)    Contribute information and intelligence to the JSNA Steering Group to further the development of the JSNA in future years, and to participate in making information more accessible to everyone.
