Community Profile

It outlines various conclusions based upon the research and analysis of profiling information collected from a wide range of stakeholders including; central and local government, a number of partner organisations and a series of independent studies, including 2011 Census data .

The findings from this data help us understand the type and scale of local community need. That knowledge forms part of the evidence base with which to design our Corporate Plan, and associated policies, and enables us to make fully informed decisions when planning effective service interventions.

Profiling is a continuous process as the council seeks to identify any emerging trends within the community. The information outlined in these pages will therefore be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure the latest and most accurate data is captured for analysis and service planning.
