Library Visits

The data shows library visits for each library in Calderdale for both Library and Non-Library purposes. (Library purposes are physical or footfall visits include borrowing or returning items, making an enquiry, using library computers, looking at displays/posters, attending a library run event etc. )
This data was then used to create an annual projection for the year. We measure visits to assess demand and to manage and respond to library usage. The total number of visits made to Calderdale Libraries during the survey week is multiplied by 50 (50 rather than 52 is used to take into account bank holidays, closed days etc) .
You can also see selected Libraries datasets in the Libraries dashboard.

Animal boarding service licence holders

This page includes a list of current animal licence holders, their location, licence expiry date, and their current star rating. See below a description of how the star rating is calculated. Information about applying for licences can be found on the Calderdale Council website page Animal licences.
Animal Licence Activity Star Rating System
As part of The Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018, every licensed boarding kennel, cattery, dog home boarding, dog daycare, pet shop, dog breeding and riding establishment will be given a star rating ranging from 1 to 5 stars (the licence activity for keeping or training animals for exhibition is not included in the rating system).
The star rating is determined by a risk-based scoring system which considers both the animal welfare standards adopted by the business as well as their level of risk (based on elements such as past compliance).
To calculate the length of the licence and associated star rating the following questions are addressed based on the inspection and on records of past compliance: a) Does the business meet the minimum standards (licence conditions)? b) Does the business meet the higher standards? c) Is the business low or higher risk?
Scoring matrix The scoring matrix developed by DEFRA is as follows:
Low risk

  
    Minor failings: 1-star rating, 1-year licence, at least 1 unannounced visit within 12 months
  
  
    Minimum standards: 3-star rating, 2-year licence, at least 1 unannounced visit within 24 months
  
  
    Higher standards: 5-star rating, 3-year licence, at least 1 unannounced visit within 36 months
  

Higher risk

  
    Minor failings: 1-star rating, 1-year licence, at least 1 unannounced visit within 12 months
  
  
    Minimum standards: 2-star rating, 1-year licence, at least 1 unannounced visit within 12 months
  
  
    Higher standards: 4-star rating, 2-year licence, at least 1 unannounced visit within 24 months
  

The welfare standards are those set out in the Regulations and guidance to the Regulations. All businesses should meet the minimum standards to get a licence and therefore receive a 2 or 3 rating. However, minor failings that do not compromise the welfare of animals, e.g., administrative issues, may allow for a licence but with a rating of 1 star.
The guidance to the Regulations is specific to the type of activity and includes a number of higher standards which businesses may aspire to. To receive a higher standard rating as these are not mandatory to obtain a licence. The higher standards are divided into required and optional; a business needs to meet all the required higher standards and a minimum of 50% of the optional higher standards to qualify as meeting the higher standards.
All new and current businesses without three years of previous compliance history with a local authority will be automatically rated high risk.
