  • 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.

  • Appendix 4 , Item GSP184/20 PDF 262 KB
    24th November 2020 Dear Stakeholder Re: EU Successor Funding in Northern Ireland: Position Paper for Society of Local Authority Chief Executives NI (SOLACE NI) I am pleased to provide you with a copy of the Executive Summary of SOLACE NI Position Paper in relation to EU successor funding in Northern Ireland, developed with the support of NILGA the Northern Ireland Local Government Association. The full Position Paper can be accessed via the following link: https://www.nilga.org/media/2171/241120-final-ni-spf-position-paper-24-november-2020.pdf As you will be aware and as part of its plans for exiting the EU, the UK Government pledged to establish a Shared Prosperity Fund. In July 2018, James Brokenshire (Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government) made a Written Statement setting out more details about the Fund. The main points of this statement were: The purpose of the Fund is “to reduce inequalities between communities across our four nations”; The method for doing this is “strengthening the foundations of productivity as set out in our modern Industrial Strategy to support people to benefit from economic prosperity”; The Government will “respect the devolution settlements in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland” so that the Fund works across the UK; Consultation on the design of the Fund would take place later that year. Although the UK Government has not yet published a consultation on the fund, the wider local government sector in Northern Ireland have had serious concerns that unlike our counterparts in Wales and Scotland, the co-design and regional consultation approach to this future funding, has not yet materialised in Northern Ireland.
