How Are Families Experiencing Poverty in Fermanagh and Omagh? How Are Families Experiencing Poverty in Fermanagh and Omagh? Seana Connor Fermanagh & Omagh Early Intervention Family Support Hubs The Fermanagh & Omagh Early Intervention Family Support Hubs are a signposting service. They are a multi agency network of organisations that either provide early intervention services or work with families who need early intervention services. 8 June, 2018 Early Intervention refers to intervention (support) ‘early in the life of a child’ or ‘early in the life of a problem’. The aim of the Hubs The aim of the Hubs is to ensure that families in need of support can choose the right help from the right service at the right time. How we do it? Hubs signpost professionals and families to the services they need. The Hubs look at the needs of the family and work to match the family needs to the best possible services that can help. Families & Professionals will receive the option of having their referrals anonymised and discussed at Hub Quorums that occur once a month where Hub partners will be present. The Hub coordinator will provide recommendations about the service(s) which is best suited to meet the needs of a family. This can be a service provided by a core member of the Hub or an organisation closely associated with the Hub. Fermanagh & Omagh Hub Partners – Action for Children – F.I.N.D.

  • BASELINE REPORT Social Wellbeing February 2017
    BASELINE REPORT Social Wellbeing February 2017 Love Living Please Note Some of the data in this document is sourced from sample survey data. Data from a sample survey means that the whole population of Northern Ireland has not been asked. Therefore, when looking at the figures, the confidence intervals/ranges associated with the figures should be noted. A confidence interval represents the range of values in which the true population value is likely to lie. It is based on the sample estimate and the confidence level. Example: For example, the employment rate for Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council in 2015 was estimated to be 70.7%. This figure had a stated 95% confidence interval of +/- 5.8 percentage points. This means that we would expect that in 95% of samples, the true employment rate for 2015 for Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council was between 64.9% and 76.5%. Also, due to some of the small numbers presented in some of the sub-categories, some caution should be taken when interpreting the figures. Analysis by Local Government District In most of the datasets used, individual records are attributed to Local Government Districts on the basis of their postcode. However, in some cases the postcode may be missing/invalid and cannot be assigned to a Local Government District but are included in the Northern Ireland totals. As an example, in the School Leavers data (Department of Education), approximately 0.6% of pupils have incomplete or missing postcode information. Therefore, the sum of the School Leavers in each of the Local Government Districts in 2014/15 is 22,224 pupils.

    Report on The Heart of Ancient Ulster Landscape Partnership Scheme (HoAULP) – Progress Report Reporting Officer Michael Browne Contact Officer Mary McKeown Is this report restricted for confidential business? Yes If ‘Yes’, confirm below the exempt information category relied upon No x 1.0 Purpose of Report 1.1 To update the council on the Heart of Ancient Ulster Landscape Partnership Scheme. (HoAULP) 2.0 Background 2.1 Mid Ulster District Council in partnership with Fermanagh and Omagh District Council have been granted £85,000 for Round 2 Development of a Heart Of Ancient Ulster Landscape Scheme that has been given approval by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) through its Landscape Partnership (LP) programme. 2.2 The project aims to help protect one of the most significant areas of archaeological interest in the middle of Northern Ireland, stretching from Broughderg to Carrickmore down to Pomeroy. The Scheme also intends to help protect and restore unique natural upland blanket and raised bog. There will be strong community involvement focus, together with large educational and conservation skills development. The landscape is unique within the United Kingdom in that it has very low levels of light pollution and provides a great opportunity to create the first Dark Sky Heritage Park in Northern Ireland. A development grant of £85,000 has been awarded by HLF to enable Mid Ulster District 2.3 Council and Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, to develop its plans and seek final approval for the full grant amount of £2,002,300 at a later date. The Heart of Ancient Ulster Landscape Partnership Scheme (HoAULP) has currently 2.4 developed a Landscape Character Area Plan (LCAP): a fully budgeted five-year programme, which forms the core of the Round 2 application which was submitted to Heritage Lottery on 2nd December 2018.
