Dear all,
'Including migrant populations in joint strategic needs assessment
(JSNA) - a guide' has been published and is available to download here:
http://www.idea.gov.uk/idk/core/page.do?pageId=25719135
This Guide has been written to assist those writing a Joint Strategic
Needs Assessment (JSNA) as part of the process of commissioning. A JSNA
acts as a critical part of the steps taken in commissioning. It
pinpoints areas of concern that require changes to provision in order to
inform mid to longterm strategy; and areas needing further focused
assessment.
Some understanding of migration and how it might be changing the local
population is essential, as migrants to any given area form part of the
demography. Knowledge of local migration and needs is also important in
assessing equity of provision as migrants are in all areas, even when
not visible or seldom heard.
This Guide will help planners and commissioners to build an objective
analysis of population needs, taking into account issues of perception
and prioritisation. The Guide is arranged in three parts: (1) a 'How
To'section (2) a set of notable examples (3) a series of appendices with
more detailed information The examples include one of migrant inclusion
in a JSNA, and others illustrating a range of existing service models
providing innovative solutions to health and social care needs.
