LDSS Data Visualisation Report 2013

2

Introduction

This report complements the Statistics Release: Learning Disability Statistics Scotland 2013 (eSAY) publication.

It contains the information collected by Learning Disability Statistics Scotland presented in data visualisations.

These visualisations use exactly the same data as the main statistical release and the easy read version but present this in a different way.

They engage readers through eye-catching high quality graphics and communicate interesting messages from the statistics that can be otherwise lost or overlooked in the other publication formats.

Who is this report about?

Introduction

Data is requested from all Scottish local authorities on adults with learning disabilities known to them.

Individual level information is collected on people: • aged 16 and 17 who are not in full time education; • age 18 and over; • who have had contact with the local authority in the last 3 years.

3

All adults who match these criteria and who are known to local authorities, regardless of the services they are currently receiving (if any) are included in the data collection. Adults with learning disabilities who are no longer in direct contact with local authorities are included in the dataset for three years from the last known contact.

These statistics are based on data taken from 2013, the latest information available.

This chart shows the number of men and women with learning disabilities in Scotland by age group. There are not many adults (particularly women) aged 16-17 because the data does not include 16-17 year olds who are in full time education. In the younger age groups, there are significantly more men than women. However, as people get older the difference between the numbers of men and women is less pronounced.

Adults who are on the autism spectrum

About this data

18,053 18,053 adults have a learning disability and are not on the autism spectrum

2,809 adults have a learning disability and are also on the autism spectrum

2,809 754

754 adults are on the autism spectrum and do not have a learning disability

It is likely that this data represents a significant underestimation of the number of adults in Scotland who are on the autism spectrum but have no associated learning disability. This is partly due to the fact that the data is collected directly from local authority learning disability services, with which adults on the autism spectrum may not have had direct contact, because they may not be receiving formal support or this may be available from other sources, such as the NHS.

Ethnicity of adults with learning disabilities About this data The Black & minority ethnic category includes people of dual ethnicity and black, Asian or other backgrounds. The White, other category includes people of white European or white other backgrounds.

The proportion of adults with learning disabilities in Scotland from BME communities is less than half the proportion in the overall population of Scotland.

This suggests that there is a under-representation of adults with learning disabilities from BME communities who are known to Scottish local authorities.�

About this data Age profile of adults who attend college

This chart shows us that a large majority of those who attend college fewer than 3 days per week are over 25 years old. Conversely, of those who attend college 3 or more days per week, the majority are aged 16-24.

Section 5:

Deprivation analysis

The Scottish Index for Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) is based on 7 measures of deprivation. It splits Scotland into 6,505 small geographical areas and ranks them based on the deprivation index.

For this analysis we have aggregated these ranked areas into five groups (quintiles). Quintile 1 is the most deprived areas and Quintile 5 is the least deprived areas.

LDSS Data Visualisation Report 2013

Distribution of adults with learning disabilities in each deprivation quintile About this data The base line in this chart represents the overall population of Scotland in each quintile. The bars above and below the line illustrate the extent to which adults with learning disabilities are over/under represented in each quintile compared to the overall Scottish population.

This chart shows adults with learning disabilities are overrepresented in the most deprived areas of Scotland and under-represented in the least deprived areas

Number of adults with learning disabilities per 1,000 who have employment opportunities in each deprivation quintile About this data Quintile1 (most deprived)

Controlling for the number of adults with learning disabilities in each quintile, the most deprived areas of Scotland have the fewest adults who have a job.

However, these areas also have the most adults in training for employment.

The least deprived areas have the largest proportion of adults with employment opportunities (jobs and/or training).
