CHAIR’S FOREWORD

As Co- Chairs of the Dún Laoghaire Rathdown Children and Young People’s Services Committee (DLR CYPSC), we are delighted to present this Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 which provides services in the county with a robust socio-demographic profile of the key demographic, health and mental health, education and learning, safety, economic security and participation indicators for children and young people in our county.

This report forms an important part of the evidence base which will underpin the 3 year Children and Young People’s Services Plan (CYPSP) for Dún Laoghaire Rathdown. The Plan is being developed at a time of considerable growth and opportunity, with Dún Laoghaire Rathdown’s population now at 218,018 residents in 2016, having grown by 5.7%, which is the fourth highest growth rate in Ireland.

Almost a third of our residents are aged up to 24, and while we have the highest levels of third level educational attainment in the country, there are areas of considerable disadvantage and differing challenges that families face as children and young people grow and develop, where support is needed. Our aim through the DLR CYPSC is to work together to identify how we can best address these challenges and provide support to ensure improved and accessible services for all, especially for those in greatest need, so that every child and young person in Dún Laoghaire Rathdown has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

We would like to acknowledge Justin Gleeson, Aoife Dowling and David Jordan from the All-Island Research Observatory (AIRO), for their expertise in undertaking this research. We would like to also thank Lorna Kerin, Coordinator of DLR CYPSC, for her professional project management of the research process to its successful completion. Finally we would hope that this report will be of significant support to the members of the DLR CYPSC in the development of our first Children and Young People’s Plan 2019-2021 and indeed to all services in DLR in their strategic planning processes.

Yours Sincerely,

Joanne Cullen Dearbhla Lawson Area Manager Tusla Child and Family Agency Director of Community Services Dublin South East & Wicklow Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council Contents

Introduction

INTRODUCTION

Children and Young People’s Services Committees are responsible for securing better outcomes for children and young people in their area through more effective integration of existing services and interventions. They are a key structure identified by Government to plan and co-ordinate services for children and young people in every country in Ireland. Their age remit spans all children and young people aged from 0 to 24 years. The purpose of the CYPSC is to ensure effective interagency co-ordination and collaboration to achieve the best outcomes for all children and young people in their area.

CYPSC’s follow local authority (city and county council) boundaries and plan and co-ordinate services for children and young people aged between 0 – 24 years in their geographic area. They are the strategic interagency structure that brings together the main statutory, community and voluntary providers of services for children, young people and families in the county / local authority area. Their role is to enhance interagency co-operation and to realise the five National Outcomes for children and young people, as set out in Better Outcomes, Brighter Futures the National Policy Framework for Children and Young People, 2014 – 2020:

1. Active and health with physical and mental well being 2. Achieving full potential in all areas of learning and development 3. Safe and protected from harm 4. Have economic and security 5. Connected, respected and contributing to their world

The membership of Children and Young People’s Services Committees (CYPSC) consists of senior managers from all the major statutory, community and voluntary providers of services to children, young people and families in the CYPSC area. Members are of sufficient seniority to represent their organisation and to exercise decision-making power. Each CYPSC has a co-ordinator who is responsible for CYPSC communications across the county / area, sup- porting and promoting interagency working, reporting, information provision and the organisation and administration of meetings on behalf of their CYPSC.

A key role of the CYPSC co-ordinator is the preparation and implementation of a three-year Children and Young People’s Plan (CYPP) for the county / CYPSC area that is designed to improve outcomes for children and young people. The CYPP outlines local priorities that the CYPSC has agreed to address and includes a detailed action plan of activities which will be undertaken by the CYPSC and its sub groups to make impact on those priorities. The Children and Young People’s Plan is systematic and comprehensive and is required to include a detailed socio-demographic profile of the CYPSC area which provides an accurate picture of children and young people’s lives and outcomes.

To assist in this process the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown CYPSC have engaged the All-Island Research Observatory (AIRO) at Maynooth University to collate and analyse sources of information to provide a detailed overview of the socio-economic characteristics of the DLR CYPSC area. This output of this task will act as the starting point for the CYPP and provide a very detailed baseline from where DLR CYPSC can identify areas of concern and strengths within the local authority and formulate goals and objectives that will be progressed throughout the life time of the CYPP.

About the Report

This report is the first report completed by the All-Island Research Observatory (AIRO) for the Dún Laoghaire Rath- down Children’s and Young Persons Committee (DLR CYPSC). The aim of this report is to document and visualise the most up-to-date datasets relating to Children and Young Persons in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown. To ensure that the evidence baseline developed specifically relates to the five National Outcomes the report has been structured into five main sections; Health, Education, Economy, Security and Demography.

Following a collaborative approach between AIRO and DLR CYPSC, each section is supported by a series of key indicators in the form of graphical illustrations and maps with accompanying key commentary. Where possible, and 10 Introduction

depending on data availability, all graphics have been designed using a ‘comparative analysis geographies’ methodology.

This methodology provides a single view of each indicator using both raw numbers (showing the true scale of numbers across the county) and percentages (useful for comparative analysis), at a range of comparative geographies: State, Regional (Eastern & Midlands, Dublin), neighbouring Counties, Community Healthcare Organisation areas (CHO), Tusla Integrated Service Areas (ISAs), Local Health Office areas (LHOs), Child and Family Service Network areas (CFSNs) and Local Electoral Areas. In order to assist the reader in understanding the relative position of the DLR CYPSC area in relation to State and Regional averages, a series of comparative indicator icons have also been included on each graphic – this provides a quick way of highlighting if DLR CYPSC is performing above or below the State and Regional average.

Each indicator within the report, designed to be read as an individual piece and a data reference document, has a multi-page spread including high level commentary and the following illustrations:

• Where appropriate, a high definition map at the Small Area (SA) geographical level; •Detailing local authority and CFSNA boundaries • Multiple graphs that provide (a) a comparative analysis (as above) for both raw numbers and percentage rates and (b) comparator icons •It should be noted that not all indicators are available for the DLR local authority area and are therefore reported for the Dublin region as a whole or other statistical geographies such as LHO areas. • Key commentary on the relative position of the DLR CYPSC area

Whilst the report focuses on the key children and young people indicators and provides a certain amount of context relating to each indicator, it is highly recommended that it is not used in isolation to the other data initiatives that are in place on the AIRO website. AIRO hosts a number of detailed census GIS mapping modules for Dún Laoghaire-Rath- down County on its website with detailed information on over 15 data themes (population, households, economic status, disability, education, social class, transport, etc.) from the 2011 and 2016 Census. Users can now view and interrogate data at both the Small Area (SA - approx 75 households) and Electoral Division (ED) levels across the County.

Better Outcomes, Bright Futures – Main Data Sections

The following section will provide a short summary of the main sections in the report highlighting datasets and sources used in the development of the section and some of the key facts. The individual sections within the report provide far more detail on each indicator with analysis at a sub-county geographical scale.

Demography

This section explores the demographic population profile of DLR, highlighting its dynamic nature and outlining some of its key characteristics. The Census based indicators are used to provide an in depth population profile of the county: Population Change 2006 to 2011, Age Cohorts (less than 1, 0-4, 5-12, 13-17, 18-24, 0-17 and 0-24), the Young Dependency Rate and Ethnicity.

Key Facts

1. According to the latest data from the 2016 Census of Population results, there were 218,018 people residing in the Local authority of DLR in April 2016.

2. Between 2011 and 2016, the population of DLR increased by 5.7% or 11,757 people. This rate of change was the fourth highest in the country with only Fingal (8%), Meath (5.9%) and Kildare (5.8%) witnessing higher levels of increase.

11 Introduction

3. According to Census 2016, there were 68,951 children and young people residing in DLR (0-24 years). This figure represented 32% of the total population in DLR. This was below the State average of 33.2%, the Eastern and Midlands average of 33.5% and in line with the Dublin regional average of 32%. This is seventh lowest proportion in the State with Cork City (30.7%), Kerry (30.2%) and Dublin City (28.2%) having the lowest.

4. The children and young people (0-24 years) can be broken down as follows: 0 to 4 years (13,810 or 6.3%), 5 to 12 years (21,302 or 9.8%), 13 to 17 years (12,682 or 5.8%), 18 to 24 years (22,056 or 10.1%).

5. According to Census 2016, the Young Dependency Rate in DLR in 2016 was 27.9%. DLR had the fourth lowest young dependency rate with Meath having the highest at 39% and Cork City the lowest at 20%. This rate in DLR is lower than the State ratio of 32.3%, the Eastern and Midlands Region rate of 31.6% and the Dublin regional rate of 28.2%.

6. The breakdown of children and young people into ethnic groups in DLR is as follows: ‘White Irish Traveller’ (0.4% or 247), ‘Other White Background’ (6.5% or 4,191), ‘Black or Black Irish’ (1% or 620), ‘Asian or Asian Irish’ (3.5% or 2,243), ‘Other’ background (1.8% or 1,162) and ‘Not Stated’ (1.3% or 825). This data is only available for 2011.

Health

This section explores data relating to the health status of children and young people in DLR. This data includes Census and non-Census indicators from a range of sources including the CSO Vital Statistics, National Perinatal Reporting System (NPRS), Healthcare Protection Surveillance System (HPSS), Census, Hospital In-Patient Enquiry System (HIPE), National Suicide and Research Foundation (NSRF) and the National Drug Treatment Reporting System (NDTRS). In contrast to the previous section on Demography not all indicators are available for DLR and data is reported for the Dublin region as a whole.

Key Facts

1. According to the CSO Vital Statistics (2016), the average age of first time mothers in DLR was 33.1 years. This is more than two years above the State average of 30.9 years and is higher than the Dublin regional average of 31.3 years. According to the CSO Vital Statistics, there were 3 registered births to mothers aged 10 to 17 years in DLR in 2016. Based on the population of females aged 10 to 17, the rate of births to mothers aged 10 to 17 in DLR was 1.4 per 10,000. Relative to other areas this was one of the lowest rates in the State.

2. The CSO defines domiciliary births as registered births that take place outside of hospitals and includes homebirths. According to the latest CSO Vital Statistics Annual Report (2014), there were 27 domiciliary births -re corded in DLR in that year. This equates to a rate of 9.6 per 1,000 births. This rate was more than double that of both the State (3.9) and the Dublin regional average (4.3).

3. According to the CSO, an infant death is defined as the death of an infant aged less than one year. The infant mortality rate is calculated as the number of infant deaths per 1,000 births. In 2016, 14 infant deaths occurred in DLR and represents an infant mortality rate of 5 per 1,000 births. This rate was higher than the State average of 3.3 and the Dublin regional average of 3.7.

4. According to the CSO, a neonatal death is defined as the death of an infant aged less than 28 days. The neonatal mortality rate is calculated as the number of neonatal deaths per 1,000 births. In 2016, 13 neonatal deaths occurred in DLR and equates to a neonatal mortality rate of 4.7 per 1,000 births. This rate was higher than the State average of 2.4 and the Dublin regional average of 2.4 neonatal deaths per 1,000 births.

5. The National Suicide Research Foundation (NSRF) records the numbers of those presenting to hospital following self-harm. The data is published as a rate per 100,000 population, by age group and gender. This data was made available to the research team by LHO of which there are two in the DLR CYPSC Area; Dublin South East and

12 Introduction

Dún Laoghaire. Methods of self-harm includes the following; overdoses of medication and drugs, cutting and- at tempted hanging. a. Male population aged < 25: The Dún Laoghaire LHO recorded a rate of 124.6 in 2015. The rate in the South East LHO was significantly lower at 55.8. In comparison to other LHO areas, the Dublin South East LHO recorded the lowest rate in 2015 and the Dún Laoghaire LHO recorded the twelfth lowest rate. Both were below the State rate of 161.6. b. Female population aged < 25: The Dublin South East LHO recorded a rate of 268 in 2015 and the rate in the Dún Laoghaire LHO was lower at 263.2. In comparison to other LHO areas, the Dublin South East LHO recorded the eight highest rate and the Dún Laoghaire LHO recorded the tenth highest rate. Both rates were above the State average of 253.18.

6. The number of those seeking treatment for substance misuse is recorded by the National Drug Treatment Reporting System (NDTRS). Within the Dún Laoghaire LHO, 12 young people sought treatment in 2015 and represents a rate of 4.2 per 10,000 young people (under 18 years). Within the Dublin South East LHO the number of young people seeking treatment was less than 5 and could not be published. In comparison to other areas, the Dún Laoghaire LHO recorded relatively low rates (10th) and was below the State average of 6.8.

Education

The Economy section of this report explores the economic profile of DLR. This section includes Census and non-Cen- sus indicators that directly or indirectly relate to children and young people. These indicators highlight patterns within Labour Force and Youth Unemployment, Child Related Social Welfare Payments, Lone Parents, the Pobal HP Deprivation Index, Children at Risk of Poverty, Medical Card Holders and Social Housing.

Key Facts

1. According to Census 2016, there is a significant difference between education attainment levels in DLR and the State. In general, attainment levels in DLR have a much higher proportional share in the higher education levels and consequently a lower proportional share in lower education.

2. In 2011, there were 837 children with mothers with low levels of education in DLR. This number equates to approximately 2.1% of all children living in DLR and is the lowest rate in the country. In contrast, Donegal has the highest rate at 9.1%. When all levels of education attainment are examined, it is evident that the proportion of mothers with third level education in DLR (59.3%) greatly exceeds the national (36.7%) and Dublin regional averages (39%).

3. According to Census 2016, the total population residing in the DLR area with ‘No Formal or Primary Only’ education was 9,135. This represented 6.4% of the total population in DLR that had completed their education and was the lowest rate in the State. In addition, DLR has the highest level of third-level education attainment.

4. Data on the number of total spaces in registered childcare centres (both vacant or filled spaces) is produced by Pobal and is made available by local authority. In the year 2015/16, there were 6,914 childcare places in DLR, this figure includes vacant and filled spaces and equates to a rate of 452.4 spaces per 1,000 children aged 0 to 4 years residing in DLR. Relative to all other local authorities, this was the 14th highest rate in the State.

5. Data on the number of registrations for the Free Pre-School Year in Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) is produced by Pobal and is made available by local authority. In the year 2015/16, there were 3,000 children registered in DLR for the ECCE Year. Of the 3,000 registrations in DLR, 16% or 480 were in community services and 84% or 2,520 were in private services. DLR had a higher proportion of private places when compared with the State average of 75%. Relative to all other local authorities, DLR had the sixth highest proportion of private registrations, with Fingal having the highest at 95% and Monaghan the lowest at 40%.

6. Data on Junior Certificate retention rates is published by the Department of Education and is based on an analysis of records held within the Post-Primary Pupils Database. In 2009, a total of 2,422 students entered the first 13 Introduction

year of the junior cycle in DLR. By 2012, a total of 2,340 students in that cohort had completed their Junior Certificate. This equates to a retention rate of 96.6%. This was marginally below the State average of 96.7%. Relative to other local authorities this rate was the 17th highest rate in the country

7. In 2016, the total students that sat the Leaving Certificate examination in DLR was 2,308. Of this figure, 91.6% or 2,114 of the students progressed to third level. This proportion exceeded the State average of 77.8% and relative to all other local authorities was the highest rate of progression in the country.

Security

The Security section of this report identifies datasets and indicators from a range of sources that provide a general view on the safety of children and young people in DLR. Sources of data include the Courts Services, An Garda Síochána and Tusla.

Key Facts

1. In 2015, there were 2,677 applications granted for domestic violence barring orders in the Dublin region. This figure equates to a rate of 83.7 applications granted per 10,000 families in the Dublin region. This rate was higher than the State rate of 69.6 per 10,000 families.

2. In 2015, 316 young people aged under 18 were referred to the Garda Youth Diversion scheme in the DMR Eastern Area. This figure equates to a rate of 7.5 per 1,000 young people aged under 18. Relative to the other divisions this was the 14th highest rate in 2016. In the same time period the DMR Southern area recorded a rate 12.5 per 1,000 young people or 685 young people referred and was the second highest rate in the country.

3. As of March 2017, there were 286 children and young people in the care of Tusla in the Dublin SE Wicklow ISA. This figure equates to a rate of 3.5 per 1,000 children and young people aged under 18 years. This rate was lower than the State rate of 5.5 and relative to all other ISAs was the lowest rate in the country.

4. Of the 286 children and young people in the care of Tusla in the Dublin SE Wicklow ISA in March 2017, 274 (95.8%) had an allocated social worker. Relative to the other ISA areas, this was the ninth highest in the country. As of March 2017, 261 of the 286 (91.3%) children in the Dublin SE Wicklow ISA in the case of Tusla had a written care plan. Relative to the other ISA areas, this was the fifth lowest in the country.

Economy

The Economy section of this report explores the economic profile of DLR. This section includes Census and non- Census indicators that directly or indirectly relate to children and young people. These indicators highlight patterns within Labour Force and Youth Unemployment, Child Related Social Welfare Payments, Lone Parents, the Pobal HP Deprivation Index, Children at Risk of Poverty, Medical Card Holders and Social Housing.

Key Facts

1. The 2011 Pobal HP Deprivation Index shows the level of overall affluence and deprivation at the level of 18,488 Small Areas (SAs) in 2011 in Ireland. Based on the Relative Index Scores for 2011, the DLR area as a whole is the most affluent local authority in the country with a score of 10.6 (affluent). This is above the State score of .2 (Marginally Above Average) and the Dublin regional score of 3.7 (Marginally Above Average). In contrast, Limerick City had the lowest score of -6.7 (Marginally Below Average).

2. The Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) is a household survey that covers issues in relation to income and living conditions. It is estimated that approximately 16.1% of children living in the Dublin region in

14 Introduction

Ireland are ‘at risk of poverty’. Relative to the eight other regions, the Dublin region has the third lowest proportion of children who are ‘at risk of poverty’.

3. In 2016, there were 1,033 lone parent households on the social housing waiting list in DLR. This figure represented a rate of 123 per 1,000 lone parent households in DLR. Relative to the other LAs rate, this rate was the eleventh highest rate in the State and was below the State average of 127.3.4. According to Census 2016, the total population unemployed and residing in DLR was 7,716. This represented 7.4% of the total labour force (At Work and Unemployed) and was the lowest in the State. This proportion was lower than the State average of 12.9%, the East- ern and Midlands average of 12.4% and the Dublin regional average of 11.6%.

5. As of February 2017, there were 457 young people (under 25 years) on the Live Register in DLR. This figure represents approximately 4% of the total live register recipients in the county. The majority of these young people are recipients at the Dún Laoghaire (265) SWO with a slightly lower number at the Nutgrove (192) SWO. At 6.4%, Dún Laoghaire had a higher percentage of those signing on aged under the age of 25 years when compared with Nutgrove at 6.2%.

6. According to Census 2016, the total ‘Lone Parent’ families with children under the age of 15 residing in DLR was 3,363. This represented 15.4% of the families with children under the age of 15. Lone mothers accounted for 14.2% (3,102) and lone fathers 1.2% (261). This proportion was lower than the State average of 20%, the Eastern and Midlands average of 21.1% and the Dublin regional average of 23.5%.

7. A special cross-tabulation was produced by the CSO to enable a breakdown of the employment status of Lone Parents with children at local authority level. According to Census 2011, there were 8,438 Lone Parents residing in DLR, of these 46.9% were ‘At Work’, 9.8% were ‘Unemployed’ and 43.2% were ‘Not in the Labour Force’.

8. According to Pobal, the average weekly cost of full-time childcare in DLR is €214. This figure is €47 more than the average cost at a State level and is €17 more than then Dublin regional average. Relative to all other local authorities, DLR had the highest cost of full-time childcare in 2015/16. In contrast, Monaghan had the lowest weekly cost at €142.

9. In 2016, there were 1,068 OPF payments being made to parents in DLR. This is equivalent to a rate of 127.2 per 1,000 lone parent families residing in DLR. Relative to all other local authorities this was the ninth lowest rate in the State.

10. As of December 2015, there were 4,602 children and young people aged under 24 qualifying for a GMS medical card in the Dún Laoghaire LHO. This figure is equivalent to 11.1% of the total population aged under 24 and relative to the other LHOs was the lowest proportion in the State.

Map 2.1: Population change, 2011 to 2016 (Source: CSO & AIRO) There was a DLR had the At 5.7% Second Highest 12.5% population increase population growth The CFSN of Sandyford/ between in the Dublin Region Carrickmines had the 2011 and 2016 highest population growth

According to the latest data from the 2016 Census of Population results, there were 218,018 people residing in the local authority of DLR in April 2016. Between 2011 and 2016, the population grew by 5.7% or 11,757. This rate of population growth (5.7%) was higher than the State Average (3.8%) and just below the Dublin regional average of 5.8%. Of the four Dublin local authorities, DLR, at 5.7%, witnessed the second highest population growth after Fingal (8.0%) while both Dublin City and South Dublin recorded increases of 5.1%. Within the DLR area, the most substantial population growth was in the Sandyford/Carrickmines Child and Family Support Network (CFSN). This area experienced a population growth of 12.5% with the population increasing from 30,508 in 2011 to 34,324 in 2016. The map above details the distribution of population change between 2011 and 2016 at ED level. The highest population increases are evident in Dún Laoghaire – Sallynoggin West (Honeypark) with a population growth of 52.8%, followed by Tibradden (41.3%) and Stillorgan-Merville (17.1). In contrast to this, population decline was witnessed in Blackrock-Central (-2.5%), Ballinteer Marley (-3.6%) and Ballinteer-Broadford (-4.4%).

Between 2011 and 2016, the population of DLR increased by 5.7% or 11,757 people. This rate of change was the fourth highest in the country with only Fingal (8%), Meath (5.9%) and Kildare (5.8%) witnessing higher levels of increase. An examination of the proportion of population that is in the 0 to 24 age group reveals that 32% of the population in the county (or 69,851) are within this age group. This is seventh lowest proportion in the State with Cork City (30.7%), Kerry (30.2%) and Dublin City (28.2%) having the lowest. The proportion in DLR is lower than both the State (33.2%) and the EMRA (33.5%) averages but is more comparable with the average across the Dublin region (32%). 26 DLR CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 2.3: Population Pyramid, 2016

-2% 0% 2% 4% 6% 8% 10% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% The age structure or demographic profile of a population is influenced directly by patterns of natural increase (especially the role of fertility) and migration. The population pyramid above illustrates the age structure of both DLR and the State. The structure of the Irish population is not evenly distributed throughout the country. An examination of the age structure of local authorities in Ireland illustrates the different characteristics of each area. Whilst there are some variations in certain areas, for example, Fingal has an extremely high young population when compared to the State; many areas have a very similar age structure to the State – DLR would be an example of this. There are some differences between DLR and the State with DLR having a smaller proportion of the population within the young age-cohorts (0 to 4, 5 to 9 etc) and working age cohorts. At the other end of the population pyramid there are clear differences with DLR having a much high proportion of its population within the elderly age cohorts (55+).

According to Census 2016, there were 2,618 children aged under one year residing in DLR. This represented 1.2% of the total population in DLR. This proportion was lower than the State average of 1.3%, the Eastern and Midlands average of 1.3% and the Dublin regional average of 1.3%. Relative to all other LAs, DLR had the seventh lowest proportion of under one year olds in the in the State. Fingal recorded the highest rate in the State at 1.5% and the Cork City the lowest at 1.1%. Of the five Dublin LAs, DLR had the lowest proportion of children aged under one year with Dublin City (1.2%). The second lowest rate was recorded in South Dublin (1.4%) and Fingal recorded the highest rate at 1.5%. Variations are evident when examining the distribution of the under 1 age group across the CFSNs. The Sandyford Carrickmines CFSN had the highest proportion with a rate of 1.7% (577) followed by Shankill with a rate of 1.3% (181). These rates were higher than all other CFSNs; Ballinteer/Dundrum (1.1% or 547), Loughlinstown/Ballybrack (1.1% or 338) and DLR Mounttown (1.1% or 975).

The Young Dependency Rate is calculated by taking the population aged 0 to 15 and calculating it as a proportion of the population aged 15 to 64. According to Census 2016, the Young Dependency Rate in DLR was 27.9%. This rate is lower than the State ratio of 32.3%, the Eastern and Midlands Region rate of 31.6% and the Dublin regional rate of 28.2%. DLR had the fourth lowest young dependency rate with Meath having the highest at 39% and Cork City the lowest at 20%. Of the four Dublin LAs, DLR had the second lowest young dependency ratio. Fingal had the highest at 37%, followed by South Dublin at 34.9% and the lowest in Dublin City with 20.9%. Variations are evident when examining the distribution of the young dependency rate across the CFSNs. The Sandyford/Carrickmines CFSN had the highest rate at 32.6% and the second highest Shankill at 30.6%. Loughlinstown/Ballybrack (29.3%) and DLR Mounttown (27.3%) followed these with the lowest rate witnessed in Dundrum at 24.0%. The map above details the distribution of the young dependency rate at SA level throughout DLR. Areas within DLR with the highest rates are notably in on the periphery of the M50, with some concentrations in areas such as Mount Merrion and Churchtown. Areas with the highest rates of over 50% are in Ticknock Hill, Stepaside Park and Honeypark in Sallnoggin. 42 DLR CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 2.11: Young Dependency Ratio, 2016

According to Census 2016, the total population classified as ‘Other’ residing in the DLR area was 4,341. ‘Other’ is classified as persons who are not of ‘White’, ‘Asian or Asian Irish’ and ‘Black or Black Irish’ origins. This represented 2% of the total population in DLR. This proportion was higher than the State average of 1.5%, the Eastern and Midlands average of 1.8% and below the Dublin regional average of 2.2%. DLR had the fourth highest proportion of population classified as ‘Other’ in the State. The highest was recorded in Dublin City at 2.6% and Monaghan the lowest at 0.8%. Of the four Dublin LAs, DLR had the third lowest proportion of ‘Other’ at 2.0%. The highest being in Dublin City (2.6%), followed by Fingal (2.2%), while South Dublin recorded the lowest at 1.9%. Variations are evident when examining the distribution of population classified as ‘Other’ across the CFSNs. The proportion of population classified as ‘Other’ was significantly higher in the Sandyford/Carrickmines (3.2% or 1,113) CFSN relative to the others CFSNs; Balinteer/Dundrum (2.1% or 1,009), DLR Mounttown (1.7% or 1,557), Loughlinstown/Ballybrack (1.5% or 448) and Shankill (1.5% or 214). The map above details the distribution of population classified as ‘Other’ at SA level throughout DLR. Areas within DLR with the highest rates are notably inside of the M50. SAs with the highest proportions of over 10% were on the Dundrum Road, in Dundrum and Blackthorn Drive. 56 DLR CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 2.19: Ethnicity Other, 2016

According to the CSO Vital Statistics (2016), the average age of first time mothers in DLR was 33.1 years. This is more than two years above the State average of 30.9 years and is higher than the Dublin regional average of 31.3 years. Relative to all other local authorities, DLR had the oldest first-time mothers in the country in 2016. At 31.9 years, Cork County recorded the second oldest first time mothers and Limerick City recorded the youngest first time mothers at 28 years. Since 2012, the average age of first time mothers in DLR has increased from 31.9 to 33.1 years. This trend in older first time mothers is also evident for both the Dublin Region and the State. Overall, the average age of first time mothers in DLR has been consistently older than that of the State and the Dublin Region. 60 DLR CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 3.2: Mothers aged 10 to 17, 2016

The data concerns the number of registered births to mothers aged 10 to 17 years between 2010 and 2016. Due to the sensitive nature of this dataset, and in order to ensure confidentiality, the Vital Statistics team at the CSO have amalgamated a number of counties where less than three registrations were recorded. According to the CSO Vital Statistics, there were 3 registered births to mothers aged 10 to 17 years in DLR in 2016. Based on the population of females aged 10 to 17, the rate of births to mothers aged 10 to 17 in DLR was 1.4 per 10,000. Relative to other areas this was one of the lowest rates in the State with only, Galway County (1.3) and the amalgamated areas of Clare & Kerry (1.2) having lower scores. In contrast Wexford had the highest rate of 8.4. The time series shows that in the six-year period, the DLR rate decreased from 7.7 in 2010 to 1.4 in 2016. A more modest decrease recorded at the State level where rates decreased from 8.4 to 3.8 registered births per 10,000 mothers aged 10 to < 17 years. In contrast, a significant decrease was seen at the Dublin regional level from 13.0 in 2010 to 4.6 in 2016. 61 Health Indicator 3.3: Mothers Attending Antenatal Care in the 1st Trimester, 2015

The NPRS do advise caution when interpreting this data as the timing of first contact with health professionals may reflect the date of the first hospital visit even though first contact may have occurred at a GPs visit. Data published by the NPRS is at county level (but also includes Dublin City) and is based on the county of residence of the mother. As such, there is no specific data available for DLR on its own. According to the latest NPRS data (2015), 85.4% of expectant mothers residing in Dublin County attended antenatal care in the first trimester. This was lower than the State average of 88% and the fourth lowest rate of all counties. Cork had by far the highest rate at 96.6% with the lowest rate recorded in Galway at 80%. Since 2010, there has been a gradual increase in the percentage of mothers attending antenatal care in the first trimester in both the State and Dublin County. The rate in Dublin County has increased from 68.5% in 2010 to 85.4% in 2015 and is now broadly in line with the overall State average. 62 DLR CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 3.4: Domiciliary Births, 2014

Figure 3.4: Domiciliary births, 2014 (Source: CSO & AIRO) The CSO defines domiciliary births as registered births that take place outside of hospitals and includes homebirths. According to the latest CSO Vital Statistics Annual Report (2014), there were 27 domiciliary births recorded in DLR in that year. This equates to a rate of 9.6 per 1,000 births. This rate was more than double that of both the State (3.9) and the Dublin regional average (4.3). Relative to all other local authorities, DLR had the third highest rate of domiciliary births in 2014 with Cork City recording the highest rate at 10.6 per 1,000 births. Monaghan, Cavan and Leitrim all recorded no domiciliary births in 2014. There has been some fluctuation in the rates of domiciliary births in recent years in DLR with rates ranging from 11.3 per 1,000 births in 2011 to 9.6 in 2014. Despite such variations, the domiciliary birth rate in DLR has consistently remained at more than double the State and Dublin regional average.

Figure 3.5: Infant Mortality Rate, 2016 (Source: CSO Vital Statistics & AIRO) According to the CSO, an infant death is defined as the death of an infant aged less than one year. The infant mortality rate is calculated as the number of infant deaths per 1,000 births. In 2016, 14 infant deaths occurred in DLR and represents an infant mortality rate of 5 per 1,000 births. This rate was higher than the State average of 3.3 and the Dublin regional average of 3.4. Relative to other local authorities in 2016, DLR had the fifth highest infant mortality rate in the country. Roscommon had the highest rate at 7.9 and Kildare had the lowest infant mortality rate at 1.2 per 1,000 births. Both the State and Dublin infant mortality rates have remained stable between 2011 and 2016. A noticeable increase in the recorded rate in DLR can be seen between 2014 (0.7) and 2016 (5). This variation is due to the number of occurrences in 2014 being extremely low (2) and the number in 2016 being unusually high (14). According to the National Paediatric Mortality Register, geographical location is not related to variances in the infant mortality rate. 64 DLR CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 3.6: Neonatal Mortality Statistics, 2016

Figure 3.6: Neonatal Mortality Rate, 2016 (Source: CSO Vital Statistics & AIRO)

According to the CSO, a neonatal death is defined as the death of an infant aged less than 28 days. The neonatal mortality rate is calculated as the number of neonatal deaths per 1,000 births. In 2016, 13 neonatal deaths occurred in DLR and equates to a neonatal mortality rate of 4.7 per 1,000 births. This rate was higher than the State average of 2.4 and the Dublin regional average of 2.4 neonatal deaths per 1,000 births. Relative to other local authorities in 2016, DLR had the fifth highest neonatal mortality rate in the country. Carlow had the highest neonatal mortality rate at 5.4 and Waterford City had the lowest rate with no recorded neonatal deaths during that year. In line with the infant death mortality rate, the neonatal mortality rate in DLR has witnessed an increase over recent years, increasing from 0.4 in 2014 to 4.7 in 2016. This is as a result of the low number of occurrences in 2014 (1) and the number of occurrences in 2016 being unusually high (13). According to the National Paediatric Mortality Register, geographical location is not related to variances in the neonatal mortality rate.

The National Perinatal Reporting System (NPRS) defines a low birth weight as infants born weighing less than 2,500 grams at birth. Data published by the NPRS is available at county level only (but also includes Dublin City) and is based on the county of residence of the mother. As such, there is no specific data available for DLR on its own. In 2015, there were 255 infants born in Dublin County weighing less than 2,500 grams. This figure represented 5.1% of the total births in 2015. This proportion was lower than the State average of 5.9%. Dublin County had the fourth lowest rate of low birth weights in the country. Highest rates were recorded in Louth (7.3%), Offaly (7.2%) and Waterford (7.1%) with the lowest in Sligo (4.4%). Since 2010, there has been little variation in the proportion of infants born with a low birth weight at both the State and Dublin County level. Rates in Dublin County have increased marginally from 4.5% in 2010 to 5.1% in 2015 and the rate in Dublin County has remained consistently lower than the State average.

Figure 3.8: Mothers breastfeeding exclusively on discharge from hospital, 2015 (Source: Perinatal Statistics & AIRO) The NPRS defines mothers who are ‘exclusively breastfeeding’ as mothers that are only breastfeeding and not using artificial feeding on discharge from hospital. Data published by the Perinatal Statistics is available at county level only (but also includes Dublin City) and is based on the county of residence of the mother. As such, there is no specific data available for DLR on its own. In 2015, there were 2,708 mothers from Dublin County who ‘exclusively breastfed’ on discharge from hospital. This figure represents 54.2% of all discharged mothers in that year and is higher than the State average of 47.7%. As of 2015, Dublin County had the fourth highest rate of exclusive breastfeeding on discharge from hospital in the State. The highest rates were recorded in Kilkenny (57.6%) and Cork (57.5%) with the lowest recorded in Limerick (35.1%) and Donegal (34.2%). Since 2010, there has been little variation in the proportion of mothers who ‘exclusively breastfed’ on discharge from hospital that reside in Dublin County. Between 2010 and 2015, the proportion of mothers breastfeeding on discharge from hospital residing in Dublin County has been consistently higher than the 67 State and Dublin regional averages.

Figure 3.10: Breastfeeding at Public health nurse visits, June 2017 (Source: Office of the National Director Primary Care, 2017)

The HSE Performance Indicators records the proportion of mothers that are breastfeeding at the first public health nurse visit and again at the three month public health nurse visit. This data is recorded by Local Health Office (LHO) of which two LHOs fall in the DLR CYPSC area; Dublin South East and Dún Laoghaire. In June 2017, 83.2% in the Dublin South East LHO of mothers visited by the public health nurse for the first time were reported to be breastfeeding exclusively. Relative to the other 29 LHOs (no data was provided for three LHOs) this was the highest proportion recorded in the State. Only 50% of mothers in the Dún Laoghaire LHO were recorded as breastfeeding exclusively and was the eleventh lowest in the State. In June 2017, 70.4% in the Dublin South East LHO of mothers at their three month public health nurse visit were reported to be breastfeeding exclusively. Relative to the other 29 LHOs (no data was provided for three LHOs) this was the highest proportion recorded in the State. Only 28.1% of mothers in the Dún Laoghaire LHO were recorded as breastfeeding exclusively and was the seventh lowest in the State. 69 Health Indicator 3.11: Immunisation Rates at 12 Months, 2015

Within the DLR CYPSC Area, immunisation data is available for the Dublin South East and Dún Laoghaire LHOs. The data illustrated in the above graphics refer to the administration of immunisation vaccines at twelve months for D3P3T3, Hib3 and HepB3. All three vaccines are administered at the same time. D3P3T3 refers to three doses of diphtheria, petusis and tetanus, Hib3 refers to three doses of haemophilus influenza type b and HepB3 refers to three doses of vaccine against hepatitis B. In 2015, 94% of the children in the Dublin South East LHO had received their vaccinations at 12 months and this rate was higher than the Dún Laoghaire LHO rate of 90%. The vaccination rate in Dublin South East was also higher than the HSE Eastern Area (90%) and the State (91%) averages. In contrast, the Dún Laoghaire LHO was lower than the State average and on a par with the HSE Eastern Area. In general, vaccination and immunisation rates have tended to fluctuate in the Dún Laoghaire LHO in recent years. The overall trends suggests that rates are gradually increasing with the Dún Laoghaire LHO increasing from 87% in 2010 to 90% in 2015 and Dublin South East LHO showing a more consistent level of increase from 86% in 2010 to 94% in 2015. 70 DLR CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 3.12: Immunisation Rates at 24 Months, 2015

The National Intellectual Disability Database is managed by the HRB and contains registrations of people with an intellectual disability. If a person has a disability, it is not mandatory to register on the database. The number of registrations are published at a county level by the HRB on an annual basis. In 2016, there were 2,246 children and young people registered with an intellectual disability in the Dublin region. Of this number, 13.1% (294) were aged 0 to 4 years, 28.8% (647) were aged 5 to 9 years, 28.5% (641) were aged 10 to 14 years and 29.6% (664) were aged 15 to 19 years. In comparison to the State figures, the Dublin region had a higher representation in the 0 to 4 age group and a lower representation in the older age groups of 10 to 14 and 15 to 19 years. The time series chart documents the percentage change of the number of registrations on an annual basis between 2010 and 2016. The number of registrations has remained relatively stable apart from between 2014 and 2015 when a significant decline was recorded in the Dublin region. In the same time period there was an increase in the number of registrations in the State.

The data is published as rates of per 100,000 population, by age group, and gender. This was provided to the research team by LHO of which there are two in the DLR CYPSC Area; Dublin South East and Dún Laoghaire. Methods of self-harm includes the following; overdoses of medication and drugs, cutting and attempted hanging. The above graphics illustrate the rate of females aged under 24 years per 100,000 recorded as presenting to hospital following self-harm. The Dublin South East LHO recorded a rate of 268 in 2015 and the rate in the Dún Laoghaire LHO was lower at 263.2. In comparison to other LHO areas, the Dublin South East LHO recorded the eight highest rate and the Dún Laoghaire LHO recorded the tenth highest rate. Both rates were above the State average of 253.2. In recent years (2010 to 2015), there have been some minor fluctuations in the rate of females under 24 presenting to hospital as a result of self-harm in the Dún Laoghaire and Dublin South East LHOs. Between 2011 and 2014, the rate was consistently below the national average until 2015 when both LHOs exceeded the State average. 81 Health Indicator 3.21: Persons Aged under 18 seeking Treatment for Substance Misuse, 2015

Data is published by Local Health Office (LHO) of which there are two in the DLR CYPSC Area; Dublin South East and Dún Laoghaire. Treatment is defined as any activity sought by an individual who are seeking help for their substance misuse problem. Needle-exchange is not included in the reporting system. Treatment is provided in residential and non-residential settings and includes the following; medication, intervention, counselling, group therapy, psychotherapy and life-skills training. The above graphics illustrate the number of young people (under 18 years) recorded as seeking treatment for Substance Misuse in 2015. Within the Dún Laoghaire LHO, 12 young people sought treatment in 2015 and represents a rate of 4.2 per 10,000 young people (under 18 years). Within the Dublin South East LHO the number of young people seeking treatment was less than 5 and could not be published. In comparison to other areas, the Dún Laoghaire LHO recorded relatively low rates (10th) and was below the State average of 6.8. In recent years (2010 to 2015), the rate in both LHOs has remained well below the State average. While the rate in Dublin South East has fluctuated from on an annual basis there has been a consistent increase in the overall rate in Dún Laoghaire increasing from 0 in 2010 to 4.2 per 10,000 young people (under 18 years) in 2015. 82 DLR CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 3.22: Referrals to CAMHs, 2016

Figure 3.22: Rates of persons aged under 18 referred to CAMHS, 2016 (Source: Mental Health Business Information Unit & AIRO) Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services is a service that provides both assessment and treatment for children and young people that are experiencing mental health difficulties. The CAMHS is a specialist mental health service and consists of a multi-disciplinary team. The Mental Health Business Information Unit provided the number of referrals and the number of children that are not accepted into the service for this report. This information was made available by CHO area of which there is one in Dún Laoghaire, CHO6. In 2016, there were 1,975 children and young people referred to CAMHS in CHO6. This figure represents a rate of 227.5 per 10,000 children and young people under the age of 18 years. Relative to the other CHOs this rate was the highest in the State and was higher than the State average of 155.1. Of the total referrals in 2016, 336 of there were not admitted into the service. One of the reasons that a child or young person would not be admitted into the service is that the child does not meet the service criteria. Relative to the other CHOs, CHO 6 had the third lowest number of children and young people that were not admitted into the service.

Figure 4.1: Educational attainment, 2011 (Source: CSO & AIRO) According to Census 2016, there is a significant difference between education attainment levels in DLR and the State. In general, attainment levels in DLR have a much higher proportional share in the higher education levels and consequently a lower proportional share in lower education. On a comparative basis with the other CYPSC Areas, the population in DLR has a high level of education attainment. At the lower end of the scale, DLR has the lowest rate (6.4%) of low education attainment (No Formal/Primary only) and the highest rate (54.8%) of high education attainment (Lower and Upper Third Level).

Figure 4.2: Educational attainment of mothers, 2011 (Source: CSO & AIRO) Parental education has a long-term effect on children’s educational and occupational success. The Census records parental education attainment and the above graphics examine the highest level of educational attainment in 2011 of mothers by local authority and in DLR. The main graphic focuses on level of low educational attainment, either no formal education or primary education. In 2011, there were 837 children with mothers with low levels of education in DLR. This number equates to approximately 2.1% of all children living in DLR and is the lowest rate in the country. In contrast, Donegal has the highest rate at 9.1%. When all levels of education attainment are examined, it is evident that the proportion of mothers with third level education in DLR (59.3%) greatly exceeds the national (36.7%) and Dublin regional averages (39%). In comparison, DLR has lower than average proportions of mothers with lower education levels. 87 Education Indicator 4.3: Education Attainment - No Formal or Primary Only, 2016

According to Census 2016, the total population residing in the DLR area with ‘No Formal or Primary Only’ education was 9,135. This represented 6.4% of the total population in DLR that had completed their education. This proportion was lower than the State average of 12.5%, the Eastern and Midlands average of 11.3% and below the Dublin regional average of 10.6%. DLR had the lowest proportion of people with ‘No Formal or Primary Only’ education in the State. Donegal recorded the highest rate in the State at 20.3%. Relative to the four Dublin LAs, DLR had the lowest proportion with Fingal recording the second lowest at 7.7%. Dublin City recorded the highest at 12.8% and the second highest was in South Dublin (11.9%). Variations are evident when examining the distribution of ‘No Formal or Primary Only’ education across the CFSNs. The CFSNs of Shankill (9.1% or 852) and Loughlinstown/Ballybrack (8.6% or 1,743) had the highest rates. These were significantly higher than the other CFSNs; Balinteer/Dundrum (7% or 2,194), DLR Mounttown (5.3% or 3,250) and Sandyford/Carrickmines (5.2% or 1,096).

The information provided by Pobal is based on two separate sources; the Programmes Implementation Platform (PIP) and the Service Profile Survey. In the year 2015/16, there were 3,000 children registered in DLR for the ECCE Year. Of the 3,000 registrations in DLR, 16% or 480 were in community services and 84% or 2,520 were in private services. DLR had a higher proportion of private places when compared with the State average of 75%. Relative to all other local authorities, DLR had the sixth highest proportion of private registrations, with Fingal having the highest at 95% and Monaghan the lowest at 40%. 93 Education Indicator 4.7: Primary School Absenteeism 2014/15

Up to 2014/15 this data was only available by county, however the 2014/15 data from mainstream primary schools (excl. special schools) was republished to include local authorities. As a result of this, the time series charts refers to the Dublin region whilst the main chart refers to the four Dublin local authorities as this was only available for 2014/15. The proportional figure represents the mean percentage rate of students that were absent for 20 or more days in the academic year. In 2014/15, 10.1% of the students in mainstream primary schools in DLR were absent for 20 or more days. This was marginally lower than the State average of 10.4%. Relative to other local authorities, DLR had the 14th highest in the State, with Galway City having the highest at 15.1% and Leitrim the lowest at 5.9%. In recent years, the absenteeism rate has shown little fluctuation. Between 2012/13 and 2013/14 a reduction in the rate at State level (2%) and Dublin regional level (3.4%) is evident. This reduction recovered in 2014/15 as the rates returned to those in line with previous years. 94 DLR CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 4.8: Post-Primary School Absenteeism, 2014/15

Relative to other local authorities this was the lowest in the State with Wexford having the highest proportion of students absent for more than 20 days at 23.9%. In recent years, the highest absenteeism rate recorded in the Dublin region was recorded in 2010/11 at 18.1%. The following year (2011/12), the rate decreased by nearly 3% to 15.2%. This decrease in rate was also recorded at a State level. Since 2012/13, the absenteeism rate has remained relatively stable at both State 95 and regional level between 16% and 17%.

The data is based on the cohort of entrants to the first year of the junior cycle in 2009 and sitting their Junior Certificate in 2012. In 2009, a total of 2,422 students entered the first year of the junior cycle in DLR. By 2012, a total of 2,340 students in that cohort had completed their Junior Certificate. This equates to a retention rate of 96.6%. This was marginally below the State average of 96.7%. Relative to other local authorities this rate was the 17th highest rate in the country with Mayo recording the highest retention at 98.2% and Carlow the lowest at 94.6%. An analysis of the time series data on the previous retention cycles (2005 to 2009) reveals that the retention rate in DLR remains relatively stable and ranges between 94.7% and 96.6%. Notably, this rate is consistently lower than the State average over this time-period.

When interpreting this data it is important to take note that this data only accounts for students that have applied for third level institutions in the Republic of Ireland through the CAO and does not account for other jurisdictions. In some instances, progression rates also account for students who may have completed their leaving certificate in previous academic years and as such overall progression rates may aggregate to more than 100%. In 2016, 11 out of the 31 post-primary schools in DLR recorded progression rates of 100%. With the exception of Saint Columba’s in Sandyford, the four schools that recorded progression rates of 50% or less were schools with a DEIS allocation; Loughlinstown Community School, Saint Tiernan’s Balally, Ballinteer Community School and the Holy Child Community School in Dún Laoghaire. 99 5.

A barring order is a court order which requires the violent person to leave the family home and can last up to three years. In order to obtain a barring order, the person must attend a District Court hearing of the area of their own residence. Data is collected by the Courts Services and has been made available by District Court for this report. For the purpose of accurately reporting on this data as a rate per 10,000 families, Galway City & County and Cork City & County District Court areas were amalgamated. In 2015, there were 2,677 applications granted for domestic violence barring orders in the Dublin region. This figure equates to a rate of 83.7 applications granted per 10,000 families in the Dublin region. This rate was higher than the State rate of 69.6 per 10,000 families. Relative to all other District Court areas, Dublin County had the ninth highest rate in 2016, the highest being in Louth at 117.2 applications granted per 10,000 families and the lowest in Mayo at 14.8. Between 2011 and 2012, a steep increase was recorded at both the State level and in the Dublin region in the number of applications granted for domestic violence barring orders. The rate in the Dublin region increased from 62.1 per 10,000 families in 2011 to 78.3 in 2012. Since 2012, the rate has remained relatively stable at both the Dublin regional and State levels. 102 DLR CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 5.2: Garda Youth Diversion Referrals, 2015

The number of youths referred to the scheme , is recorded by the An Garda Síochána Pulse database system and is published on an annual basis by the Irish Youth Justice Service (IYJS) by Garda Division. Within the DLR CYPSC areas, there are Garda Divisions; D.M.R. Eastern and D.M.R Southern. In 2015, 316 young people aged under 18 were referred to the Garda Youth Diversion scheme in the DMR Eastern Area. This figure equates to a rate of 7.5 per 1,000 young people aged under 18. Relative to the other divisions this was the 14th highest rate in 2016. In the same time period the DMR Southern area recorded a rate 12.5 per 1,000 young people or 685 young people referred and was the second highest rate in the country. The DMR Southern area comprises of a small portion of the eastern side of the DLR CYPSC areas and comprises of areas such Churchtown, Marley Grange and Marley Park. The time series graphic above shows that over the past five year there has been a consistent decline in the rate of young people referred to the Garda Youth Diversion scheme. In 2010, the DMR Eastern area recorded a rate of 15.8, by 2015 this rate had dropped to 7.5. 103 Security Indicator 5.3: Referrals to Tusla, 2016

Figure 5.3: Referrals to Tusla, 2016 (Source: Tusla & AIRO) A referral can be made to Tusla reporting concern for a child or children by either an organisation and individual working with children or member of the general public. The concerns are recorded and a referral is made from the local Child and Family Agency social work department. The number of referrals made and type of referral is published by Tusla by ISA area, of which there is one in DLR; Dublin South East/Wicklow. In 2016, there were 589 referrals to Tusla in the Dublin South East/Wicklow ISA. This figure represented a rate of 6.8 children and young people per 1,000 population age under 18 years in the Dublin South East/Wicklow ISA and was below the State average 16.0. Relative to the other 17 ISAs this was the third lowest rate in the State. Dublin North recorded the highest rate of 35.8 and Donegal the lowest at 5.8. Of the total referrals in 2016 in the Dublin South East/Wicklow ISA, 32.8% or 193 referrals were for physical abuse, this rate was higher than the State average of 23.3%.

Foster care is the main alternative care provided by Tusla as well as residential care. The number and percentage of children in care by type of placement is published by Tusla on a quarterly basis and is made available by ISAs of which there is one in the DLR CYPSC area; Dublin SE Wicklow. As of March 2017, there were 286 children and young people in the care of Tusla in the Dublin SE Wicklow ISA. This figure equates to a rate of 3.5 per 1,000 children and young people aged under 18 years. This rate was lower than the State rate of 5.5 and relative to all other ISAs was the lowest rate in the country. On a comparative basis, the Dublin City North ISA had the highest rate of children in the care of Tusla at 8.4 per 1,000 children and young people aged under 18 years. Of the 286 children and young people in the care of Tusla in the Dublin SE Wicklow ISA, only 0.3% was in ‘Residential Special Care’, 7% were in ‘General Residential Care’, 62.9% were in foster care and 28% were in ‘Relative Foster Care’. The remaining 1.7% were placed in care marked as ‘Other’.

Figure 5.5: Children in care with a written care plan and allocated social worker, 2017 (Source: Tusla) Social workers provide frontline services for the welfare of children and families and are allocated to children on a needs basis. In certain cases, some children have prioritised allocation and this relates to those with health issues, disabilities and challenging behaviours. The number and percentage of children with a care plan and an allocated social worker is published by Tusla on a quarterly basis and is made available by ISAs of which there is one in the DLR CYPSC area; Dublin SE Wicklow. Of the 286 children and young people in the care of Tusla in the Dublin SE Wicklow ISA in March 2017, 274 (95.8%) had an allocated social worker. Relative to the other ISA areas, this was the ninth highest in the country. A number of ISAs all recorded rates of 100% (Mayo, Donegal, Sligo-Leitrim-West Cavan) whilst the lowest was recorded in the Cavan Monaghan ISA where only 83.3% of the children in the care of Tusla were allocated a social worker. A care plan is a document that defines how a child will be cared for while in the care of Tusla. Information in the care plan will include where they will reside, their education and supports they will receive. Children without a care plan are generally those that are in short-term placements or emergency places and are awaiting a care plan outlining their long-term plans. As of March 2017, 261 of the 286 (91.3%) children in the Dublin SE Wicklow ISA in the case of Tusla had a written care plan. Relative to the other ISA areas, this was the fifth lowest in the country. Four ISAs recorded rates of 100% whereas the lowest rate was recorded in the Dublin South Central ISA at 59.9%. 106 DLR CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 5.6: Young People Preparing to Leave Care, 2017

Figure 5.6: Young people preparing to leave care written care plan and allocated social worker, 2017 (Source: Tusla) An aftercare service is an entitlement to all young people with a care history within Tusla and the service is provided in conjunction with other agencies. The preparation of a young person leaving care starts on either their sixteenth or seventeenth birthdays. Aftercare services have an essential part to play in accessing financial assistance, employment opportunities and training. Tusla publishes data on a quarterly basis on the number of young people in care aged 16 and 17 years of age with aftercare social worker and associated plans. This information is made available by ISAs of which there is one in the DLR CYPSC area; Dublin SE Wicklow. In March 2017, 35 young people aged 16 and 17 in the Dublin SE Wicklow ISA had a preparation for leaving care and aftercare plan. This figure equates to 76.1% of the total young people in care aged 16 and 17. Relative to all other ISAs this was the second highest rate. Kerry recorded the highest rate of 100% with Dublin City North recording the lowest with 0%. As of March 2017, 35 young people aged 16 and 17 in the Dublin SE Wicklow ISA had an allocated aftercare social worker. Equivalent to a rate of 76.1%, this was the third highest rate in the country. The Sligo Leitrim West Cavan ISA recorded the highest rate of 16 and 17 year olds with an allocated aftercare social worker at 95.2% and the Dublin South Central ISA recorded the lowest at 11.4%.

Figure 5.7: Young people availing of aftercare in full-time education, 2017 (Source: Tusla) As part of the aftercare service, financial support is provided to young adults by Tusla to assist in gaining access to education and accredited training services. Education and training is an important outcome for young adults in the Tusla aftercare service. However, financial support to those availing of full-time education is only a minor component of the services and supports that are provided to young adults in aftercare. The number and percentage of young adults availing of this support is published by Tusla on a quarterly basis and is made available by ISAs, of which there is one in the DLR CYPSC area; Dublin SE Wicklow. As of March 2017, there were 33 young adults aged 18 to 20 years in the Tusla aftercare service availing of full-time education and is equivalent to 45.8% in aftercare services. Relative to the other ISAs this was the second lowest proportion and below the State average of 59.3%. On a comparative basis, the Cork ISA recorded the highest rate at 87.8%, whilst the Dublin City North ISA recorded the lowest rate at 38%. As of March 2017, there were 50 young adults aged 18 to 22 years in the Tusla aftercare service availing of full-time education. This is the equivalent to 47.2% of the total young adults in aftercare services. Relative to the other ISAs, this was fifth lowest rate and was below the State average of 59.7%. On a comparative basis, the Cork ISA recorded the highest rate of 89.2%, whilst the Cavan/Monaghan ISA recorded the lowest rate at 42.3%. 108 6.

Figure 6.2: Children at risk of poverty, 2015 (Source: SILC)

The Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) is a household survey that covers issues in relation to income and living conditions. The survey is conducted on a sample of households throughout Ireland and published at a regional level annually by the CSO. Based on a special tabulation by the CSO it is estimated that approximately 16.1% of children living in the Dublin region in Ireland are ‘at risk of poverty’. Relative to the eight other regions, the Dublin region has the third lowest proportion of children who are ‘at risk of poverty’. The lowest proportion is in the Mid-East at 14.6% , while the West has the highest proportion of 27.4%. Between 2011 and 2014 the proportion of children who are ‘at risk of poverty’ had remained relatively stable and below the State average. However, between 2014 and 2015 the rate increased by 2.9% from 13.2% to 16.1%. Comparatively, the national trend has remained relatively stable. Unfortunately, the SILC data is not available at the local authority level and therefore caution should be shown when using this data in the context of DLR.

According to Census 2016, the total population unemployed and residing in DLR was 7,716. This represented 7.4% of the total labour force (At Work and Unemployed). This proportion was lower than the State average of 12.9%, the Eastern and Midlands average of 12.4% and the Dublin regional average of 11.6%. DLR had the lowest rate of unemployment of the labour force in the State and Longford the highest at 19.6%. Of the four Dublin LAs, DLR had the lowest unemployment rate at 7.4%. The highest was in South Dublin (13.3%), followed by Dublin City (12.9%) and the second lowest in Fingal (10.3%). Variations are evident when examining the distribution of labour force unemployment across the CFSNs. The highest rates were witnessed in the CFSNs of Shankill (674 or 9.7%) and Loughlinstown/Ballybrack (8.9% or 1,255) relative to the other CFSNs; Balinteer/Dundrum (7.3% or 1,634), DLR Mounttown (7.0% or 2,971) and Sandyford/Carrickmines (6.7% or 1,182). The map above details the distribution of the population within the labour force that are unemployed at SA level throughout DLR. Areas with low unemployment across the county in Dundrum, Blackrock and Dalkey, however there are areas of high proportions of unemployment in Loughlinstown, Sallynoggin and Nutgrove. Areas with the highest values of over 25% are in Mounttown Road Lower, Ballyogan, Hillview on Broadfield Road and in Loughlinstown. 114 DLR CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 6.4: Labour Force Unemployment, 2016

An OPF payment is a payment made to persons that are raising children without the support of a partner. Amongst other criteria to qualify for this payment, weekly earnings of the applicant cannot exceed €425. In 2016, there were 1,068 OPF payments being made to parents in DLR. This is equivalent to a rate of 127.2 per 1,000 lone parent families residing in DLR. Relative to all other local authorities this was the ninth lowest rate in the State. Roscommon had the lowest rate of OPF payment per 1,000 families at 84.3 and Cork City had the highest at 313.9. Between 2010 and 2014 there has been a gradual decrease in the rate of OPF payments within DLR with rates decreasing from 284.8 in 2011 to 127.2 in 2016. There has also been a noticeable decrease in rates at the State level with a significant drop evident in 2014. 126 DLR CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 6.12: GMS Medical Cards, 2015

The Primary Care Reimbursement Service publishes data regarding the number of persons that qualify for the GMS Medical Card. This data is published by LHO, of which there are two in DLR; Dublin South East and Dún Laoghaire. The figures are as of December 2015 and were recorded after the introduction of the GP Visit Card for Children Under 6 Scheme. All children registered for the scheme aged under 6 are provided with free GP services regardless of the household income. As of December 2015, there were 4,602 children and young people aged under 24 qualifying for a GMS medical card in the Dún Laoghaire LHO. This figure is equivalent to 11.1% of the total population aged under 24 and relative to the other LHOs was the lowest proportion in the State. The Dublin SE LHO had the second highest proportion with 17.3% (6,035) of the population aged under 24 qualifying for the GMS Medical Card. In contrast, the LHO with the highest proportion was Donegal where 48.1% of the population under 24 quali- fied for a medical card. It is possible to break the data down by five-year age groups. The graph above represents the proportion of the population in each age group that qualify for a GMS Medical Card. The age group with the highest proportion in the Dún Laoghaire LHO and the Dublin South East LHO is the 5 to 11 age groups with proportions of 127 14.3% and 24.5% respectively qualifying for the card in 2015.

Figure 6.13: Live register claimants, 2017 (Source: DSP & CSO) Data on the number of persons, by gender and age group is published on a monthly basis by the CSO. The ‘Live Register’ is based on all claimants for Jobseekers Benefit (JB) and applicants for Jobseekers Allowance (JA). The Live Register is not strictly designed to measure unemployment as it includes part-time workers, seasonal and casual workers entitled to JB and JA. As of February 2017, there were 457 young people (under 25 years) on the Live Register in DLR. This figure represents approximately 4% of the total live register recipients in the county. The majority of these young people are recipients at the Dún Laoghaire (265) SWO with a slightly lower number at the Nutgrove (192) SWO. At 6.4%, Dún Laoghaire had a higher percentage of those signing on aged under the age of 25 years when compared with Nutgrove at 6.2%. The bottom graphic provides time series illustration of Under 25 Live Register levels from 2006 to 2017. Fol- lowing a peak in M2 2010 (1,781) the numbers have declined and the number of those under the age of 25 years signing on the Live Register and is now less than it was in 2006.

Figure 7.1: Schools Participating in the Young Social Innovators, 2017 (Source: YSI & AIRO) The Young Social Innovators (YSI) provide young people with an opportunity to respond to social issue and contribute to building a fair and equal society. The YSI runs a number of programmes and initiatives in post-primary schools including the Social Innovation Awards and the Social Innovation Action Programme. For the purpose of this report information on the number of post-primary schools participating in the YSI was released by Local authority. In 2017, there were 6 post-primary schools participating in the YSI in DLR. This represented 15.8% of the total post-primary schools in DLR and was below the State average of 30.1% and the Dublin region average of 24.6%. Relative to the other LAs, DLR recorded the fifth lowest rate. In contrast, Laois recorded the highest rate at 55.6% and Waterford the lowest at 10.5%. In the time period between 2012 and 2017, there has been little fluctuation in the rate of schools participating in the YSI in DLR. However, notably the rate has always been consistently below the State and Dublin regional averages. 132
