disparities in living conditions and life
chances, and free from stigmatising
discrimination and prejudice, a place in

up. Gap analysis as part of the Annual
Review to look at which recommendations
need an owner.
• Have the fairness principles been
embedded? i.e. are they part of everyday
decision making?
11
12. Annual Review - February 2014
• Assessment one year on following
publication of the Commission’s Report:
• Are the principles being used?
• Are the recommendations being
implemented?

show the city becoming fairer?

Fairness Framework in decision making?

you can, in trying to make Sheffield a fairer
city?

14. Challenge to the Health &
Wellbeing Board
“Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB) members
must fully utilise their individual and collective
position, influence and resources to achieve
better health outcomes for Sheffielders in most
need. … The Board must act to address the
wider determinants, champion and challenge
Government and partners in the city (e.g.
employers) to contribute to a holistic approach
to wellbeing in Sheffield and stand up for the
city’s health needs.”

Notes de l'éditeur
FC report uses ward data as it wanted to show inequality on a geographical basis
Taken from report to HWB Board:
“The difference in life expectancy at birth for females, as measured by the Slope Index of Inequality, is 7.3 years, ranging from 78.7 years in the most deprived areas of the City to 86 years in the least.”
The most obvious gap is no organisation is leading on developing a voluntary ‘Fair Employer’ code of practice. Some organisations saying they are willing to consider it once it is developed.
Justice reinvestment model. From South Yorkshire Probation Trust: “The Trust supports the principles of justice re-investment models … However the Ministry of Justice is currently tendering the South Yorkshire prisons and plans to tender much of the work done by the Trust. The letting of lengthy contracts to private providers of prison and probation services makes the journey towards a re-investment model significantly harder as the funds will be bound into contracts and specifications.
Outcome Indicators link into and will be a part of State of Sheffield
