Buckinghamshire County Council Key Issues Recent unpredicted rise in TFR – more children Falling household size – uncertainty of new house builds in AVDC Reduction in population aged 0 – 15, but if new TFR remains constant then there will be no overall change Children and families in areas at risk of deprivation are at a greater risk of experiencing certain issues e.g. LAC Large number of children and families living in areas where people experience a range of deprivation issues Around half of all areas at risk of deprivation are not in the urban areas in Bucks How can this information be used to better shape services?
