The Gwent Joint Strategic Assessment

The Gwent Joint Strategic Assessment 2024/25 Edition

Joint Strategic Assessment (JSA) provides a comprehensive overview of the health and well-being of the people of Gwent in an accessible way for everyone to view.

The Gwent JSA sits alongside the newly-developed Gwent Indicator Framework to provide partners across Gwent with a shared intelligence source to inform planning for local service delivery. Together, they provide a framework for building a Healthier, Fairer, Safer and Stronger Gwent, as described in our latest Director of Public Health report.

Whether you work in Planning, Operations, Finance, Health, Social Care, Housing, Education, or in the community and voluntary sector, the Gwent Joint Strategic Assessment can support your decision-making by providing a strong evidence base on which to build positive change.

Using the Gwent JSA

The 2024/25 Gwent JSA is a summary slide deck that presents key indicators of health and well-being in local areas across Gwent, grouped into six chapters.

It provides evidence of challenges and opportunities for local communities, describes some of the disparities in health and social outcomes that exist within Gwent’s different local authority areas, and highlights opportunities for working together to build a healthier, fairer, safer and stronger Gwent.

Using the Gwent Indicator Framework

The Gwent Indicator Framework (GIF) is a large interactive report that presents over 250 indicators of health and well-being in Gwent, by local authority area and over time. Most of the data is sourced from publicly available national data sources such as Stats Wales, Wales Public Health Outcomes Framework and Office of National Statistics. The aim of the GIF is to collate relevant indicators from these sources and present them in an accessible format, for everyone to use.

When you open the GIF below, there are six chapter headings in green. Click on one that interests you to start exploring the data.
