Joint Strategic Needs Assessments (JSNAs) are developed jointly by local authorities, health and social care partners. They provide a picture of the health and wider determinants of health, and wellbeing needs of the local population, where key issues are identified using an evidence-based approach.
Brent’s JSNA has been developed as an interactive tool, hosted in Power BI, to present the latest data and information to the public and our partners. This data and information is used to then identify actions that local agencies will need to take to improve the health and well-being of individuals and communities across Brent. A report version of the material is also provided below in word format.
Alongside the JSNA, we have developed Ward Profiles presenting data on health and the wider determinants of health, at a local level. Also provided below, is a link to a set of 2021 census ward profiles, which provide a range of demographic about Brent wards for context.

Health Needs Assessments (HNAs)
In addition to the JSNA interactive tool and ward profiles, topic-specific Health Needs Assessments (HNAs) are a systematic method for reviewing the health issues facing a population, that highlight the need and unmet need on a specific Public Health area. They offer more detail and are aimed at anyone with an interest in the related topic. From a public health point of view, the HNAs highlight inequalities by looking the areas or groups of residents that are most affected and are the evidence based on which Public Health agree priorities and resource allocation that will improve health and reduce inequalities. The following HNAs are currently available:
Best Start for Life Needs Assessment
SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disability) Needs Assessment
Drug and Alcohol Needs Assessment
Sexual and Reproductive Health Needs Assessment
Children and Young People's Mental Health and Wellbeing Needs Assessment
Accessibility
The Brent JSNA is presented via interactive tools hosted in power BI. Alternative products have also been made available to improve access to the data for users of assistive technologies. A plain text version of the JSNA report has been made available in word and ward data has also been made available in a summary excel file. The HNAs are made available in pdf format. While efforts have been made to ensure these reports are accessible to users of assistive technologies, the reports may not be fully accessible for all users. If you cannot access the material or require it in a different format, please contact the Brent Open Data team ([email protected]), with “JSNA” in the subject box to discuss your requirements.
