This is because families canstill claim the basic level of CTC while earning up to £58,000 (higher forfamilies with a child under 1). Most families in Barnsley earn below thisamount and are therefore eligible to claim CTC.As would be expected there is a strong statistical relationship between thepercentage of children in ‘out-of-work’ families in the ward receiving CTC andthe deprivation of the ward. The percentage of children in families in receipt ofCTC that are in lone-parent families also shows a strong statisticalrelationship with deprivation at ward level (see Figure 7.3.30 and Figure7.3.31 below). The highest percentages were in St. Helen’s (38.6%), Stairfoot(36.5%), Worsbrough (36.3%) and Kingstone (36.2%).Figure 7.3.30: Children in Lone Parent families receiving Child Tax Credit as a % of AllChildren in Families receiving CTC as at August 2005 by ward.45Children in Lone Parent Families receiving Child Tax Credit as a % of All Children in Families receiving CTCas at August 2005(Source: HM Revenue & Customs)40% of all children in families receiving CTC35302520151035.438.632.431.636.5 36.2 36.331.630.932.930.932.0 32.430.929.627.221.725.4 25.7R 2 = 0.7623.221.150Dearne NorthSt Helen'sDearne SouthNorth EastStairfootKingstoneWorsbroughMonk BrettonCentralCudworthWombwellHoylandMiltonDarfieldRoystonRockinghamOld TownDodworthDarton EastDarton WestPenistoneWestPenistoneEastMost Deprived Above Average Deprivation Average Below Average Deprivation Least DeprivedQuintile 1 Quintile 2 Quintile 3 Quintile 4 Quintile 5- 131 -
