Core audiences include West Sussex Drug and Alcohol Partnership members, OHID leads, Public Health departments and Local Authorities and all other interested in developing meaningful co-production programmes in their local community.
This briefing provides a summary of access to, and provision of, different types of green spaces across West Sussex, drawing on data from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA), Ordnance Survey and Natural England.
They can be used alongside other population, health and care data and information to support ICTs in considering the palliative and end of life care needs and services within their areas.
The needs assessment is organised around three core themes, each presented in chapters covering the following areas:
Together the chapters in the assessment make up a practical resource for stakeholders, supporting informed discussions, strategic planning, and action to improve food and nutrition outcomes across West Sussex.
Chapters for theme 2 will be released in due course - please check this page in the future for updates.
Different responses are needed depending on how often people are falling, the reasons for each fall, and the outcome and severity of each fall.
The actions in the pack are informed by the NICE guideline and recommendations from the falls-workforce in Sussex.
The dashboard brings together a wide range of health protection topics, including:
AMR data is presented at sub Integrated Care Board (ICB) level, reflecting the structure of available national datasets.

This briefing aims to extend previous work on food environments undertaken by the Public Health and Social Research Unit with a supplementary focus on end of school opening hours and small area deprivation, based on the updated 2025 Indices of Deprivation (IoD25).
The Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IoD25) measure relative deprivation for small areas (lower super output areas 2021, LSOAs) in England. The most recent Indices were published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government in November 2025, and updates the Indices of Deprivation 2019.
The IoD25 includes seven standalone indexes which are combined and weighted together to form the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2025 (IMD25). This is the official measure of deprivation in England. These include:
Two supplementary indexes focusing on income deprivation affecting children (IDACI) and older people (IDAOPI) have also been updated.
New datasets, methodologies and geographies have been used to produce the IoD25, which means outputs are less comparable to previous published indices.
Across the IoD25, deprivation is measured on a relative rather than an absolute scale. This means that it can show if one area is more deprived than another but not by how much. For example, whilst an area with a rank of 100 is more deprived than an area with a rank of 200, this does not mean that it is twice as deprived.
The IMD25 ranks every small area (LSOA) in England from most to least deprived, according to their level of multiple deprivation relative to that of other areas. These are commonly described using deciles, where all small areas are divided into 10 equal groups according to their deprivation rank. This means that areas in decile 1 are among the 10% most deprived areas in England.
Whilst the IoD25 is primarily intended for use at small areas, a range of summary measures have also been produced for larger areas, such as upper tier local authorities, local authority districts, built up areas, and NHS Integrated Care Boards. Information about how these summary measures were developed is available in a technical report and how they can be interpreted in a research report.
The following briefing provides a high-level summary of the IoD25 in West Sussex:
The following briefing provides a summary of the updated Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI), explaining what the key findings of the IDACI are in relation to West Sussex as a whole, for its district and boroughs and across small areas:
This page will be updated as more analyses are produced.
