WA 1 Friday 11 July 2014 Written Answers TBUC: Urban Villages Mr Lyttle asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail the boundary of the area to be included in the (i) Colin; and (ii) Lower Newtownards Road Urban Villages, under the Together: Building a United Community strategy. (AQW 34369/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: We announced Colin and Lower Newtownards Road as the first two Urban Villages on 25 February 2014. Since then, the Department for Social Development, as the lead department for these projects, has been developing delivery proposals. These two projects are at very different stages. The Colin Town Centre is well developed with an existing plan having been launched, with support across a number of government departments. The Colin Town Centre Urban Village is located within the Colin neighbourhood of West Belfast. The site is approximately 57 acres in total, lying South West of the Michael Ferguson roundabout. The site spans across both sides of the Stewartstown Road, and includes approximately 27 acres of the Laurel Glen parkland on the Poleglass side of the Stewartstown Road as well as 30 acres on the Twinbrook side; 96% of the site is currently in public ownership. In contrast, the urban village proposed for the Lower Newtownards Road is at a less advanced stage. It is envisaged that the area covered will run from Ballymacarrett to Holywood Arches. Development of both Urban Villages will include the establishment of a local project board. The local board will then be tasked with co-ordinating and overseeing the planning, design and delivery of all aspects of each urban village. Together: Building a United Community Strategy Mr Lyttle asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister to outline the criteria against which (i) Colin; and (ii) the Lower Newtownards Road were selected as urban villages under the Together: Building a United Community strategy. (AQW 34370/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: The aim of the commitment to create four urban villages is to build shared culture, spaces, and identity. In order to establish locations that have the potential to create community space, improve the area and its aesthetics and include community focus, the following high level selection criteria has been used to establish need and capacity. (i) Community relations issues (ii) Anti-social behaviour (iii) Deprivation (iv) Limited commercial

I have been extremely impressed with the way this requirement has been enthusiastically embraced by staff at all levels right across the organisation.

    Briefing Notes for Education Committee 15th October 2014 Colin Knox and Vani Borooah Definitions Difference between shared education and integrated education: Shared Education Shared Education encompasses a number of different types of sharing, from projects and shared classes through to shared education models, such as those defined in the Bain report (eg: Federations/Confederations; Shared Campus and Shared Faith schools). Under Article 64 (1) of The Education Reform (NI) Order 1989, integrated education is defined as “the education together at school of Protestant and Roman Catholic pupils (Minister of Education) The Terms of Reference for the Ministerial Advisory Group on Advancing Shared Education defined Shared Education as: The organisation and delivery of education so that it: meets the needs of, and provides for the education together of, learners from all Section 75 categories and socio-economic status; involves schools and other education providers of differing ownership, sectoral identity and ethos, management type or governance arrangements; and delivers educational benefits to learners, promotes the efficient and effective use of resources, and promotes equality of opportunity, good relations, equality of identity, respect for diversity and community cohesion (MAG Report) By its nature, Shared Education involves more than one school type. This view has been endorsed by the Ministerial Advisory Group, which further refined the definition to “...involves two or more schools or other education institutions from different sectors

There certainly have been many difficult and challenging issues, and occasions when we wished that we had performed better but overall our staff have risen to the challenges with dedication and professionalism. They have coped with increasing demands, embraced new ways of working, maintained and improved quality and safety, and sought to deliver our services in ways that better fit with our patients and clients own preferences. This is exemplified by our response to the increasing number of more elderly patients, often presenting with more complex problems. To address this we have refocused our services thereby enabling us to get people home sooner and then support them to remain in their local community and maintain more active lifestyles. This is a real tribute to staff who have worked to deliver more integrated care across our acute and community services.
