10.1 Download STHC Guides

In this section you can download our STHC Guidance documents. They provide an overview of the service, what input data is required ( and why), cover the output from the process and suggest uses for the data in the local authority environment. All guides will evolve over time to reflect the continued development of the STHC process and outputs as well as the changing policy environment. As with the whole of the STHC process we welcome feedback and ideas for improving these guides – use the contact section of the site. Sample STHC output data is already available.

STHC_Guide_1_Overview.pdf (1.88MB) – This guide gives an overview of the STHC – the input data required from client authorities, the basic analysis process, what exactly they get back as standard output and what they may want to commission as an additional service, the benefits it will bring them, who else is doing it already, how much it will cost them and the delivery timescales for them receiving their analysis data. Finally there is some discussion about data protection issues. This guide should be freely distributed to colleagues, managers and potential partners as part of the internal awareness raising process.

STHC_Guide_2_Client_Input_Data.pdf (2.42MB) - This guide describes in more detail the datasets client authorities need to supply to us (the “Client Input Data”) in order for us to undertake the School Travel Health Check. It has been produced to tell client officers what datasets we require, how they fit into our analysis process and whom they need to contact within their authority to get hold of them. However it has also been designed to be read by Data Holders to inform them why this data is being requested from them by the officer and what they need to supply at a technical level (they need only read the sections about the datasets they are concerned with!).

STHC_Guide_3_Excel_Reports.doc (1.76MB) - This document discusses the Excel spreadsheet files supplied as part of the Analysis Output Data from the School Travel Health Check.

STHC_Guide_4_MapInfo_GIS_Files.doc (2.79MB) - This guide talks you through the Mapinfo files supplied as part of the output from the School Travel Health Check. It also looks at the best ways to get started with using the data in the local authority environment.

STHC_Guide_5_Testimonials_Supporting_Information.doc (2.55MB) - This particular document provides a summary of what people are saying about the process and its potential for achieving change. It also provides some additional support both for areas mentioned in STHC_Guide_1 and recent new policy developments.
