The Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2011: Child Index is the official measure of relative deprivation for small areas in Wales for children. 2. Each domain is based on a range of different indicators, which are weighted and combined to provide domain scores and the overall child index. Income accounts for 35.3% of the total Index score, Health and Education 17.1% each, Access to Services 12.2%, and Housing, Physical Environment and Community Safety 6.1% each. 3. The housing domain and the geographical access to services domain were not updated in 2011, because new data was not available. The 2009 ranks for these domains were used to construct the 2011 Child Index. 4. A summary of the methodological changes in the 2011 Child Index is available on the WIMD and Child Index web pages via the link below: Child Index 2011 - Technical Documents .

Diocesan Director of Mission and Archdeacon of the Gwent Valleys
DIOCESAN DIRECTOR OF MISSION AND ARCHDEACON OF THE GWENT VALLEYS Thank you for taking the opportunity to look at this profile for a new senior post in the Diocese of Monmouth. We are a small Diocese which has come to understand the importance of mission in the community. We have a friendly and supportive Bishop’s Team and an effective Diocesan Office Team. A Ministry Area infrastructure is in place but we need someone with experience to focus on developing our mission strategy and to put it into action! Much is already taking place and now we are ready for the next step into growth - both spiritually and numerically. As you read this profile, please pray if God is calling you to join us. +Richard, Bishop of Monmouth Views over the picturesque Gwent Valleys OUR VISION Our Diocesan Strategy has been developing over the past ten years but has recently become more focussed on mission and growth. In line with the recommendations of the Church in Wales Review, we are reshaping our 127 parishes into 25 Ministry Areas. We have invested in a bespoke training course, devised and delivered by Ripon College, Cuddesdon, to train our Ministry Area Leaders to exercise leadership in a more episcopal way. Each Ministry Area has a team of clergy and lay people exercising collaborative ministry and engaging in mission across the Area, to support the local churches and engage in new ways of being church. In order to support and bring strategic direction to Ministry Areas, the Bishop has recently begun a series of Bishop’s Audits which will take place in each Ministry Area over a period of five years.
