The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment

The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment outlines evidence on population needs, outcomes and the wider factors that shape health. It can be used to inform policy, service planning and decision‑making, ensuring action is focused where inequalities are greatest and has the greatest potential to improve health and wellbeing.

Community Insight Profiles

The Community Insights Profiles bring together local data and lived experience, providing a clear picture of community needs, strengths, and priorities. Profiles can be used to inform policy, service design and commissioning, target resources where they will have the greatest impact, and work more effectively with partners to reduce inequalities and improve outcomes for local communities.

If you are interested in developing your own profile, check out this Framework for some ideas on how to get started.
