CHAIR’S FOREWORD
As chair of the South Dublin Children and Young People’s Services Committee (CYPSC), I am delighted to present the publication of the South Dublin CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report 2017.
The Children and Young People’s Services Committees are an initiative of the Department of Children and Youth Affairs which involves the development of a local county based committee bringing together agencies working with children and young people, to engage in joint planning and coordinated delivery of services for children.
In working together, our focus is to ensure that statutory, community and voluntary agencies secure better developmental outcomes for children and young people in South Dublin through more effective integration of existing services and interventions at local level.
This evidence baseline report was undertaken to inform the South Dublin CYPSC on its future work. In particular it will form a key pillar of the CYPSC’s Children and Young People’s Plan, a three year action plan to which the committee will be focussing its energies.
Agencies in South Dublin that work with children and young people have long established the importance of integrating evidence-based planning into their work. Demographic statistics are crucial for decision makers and practitioners for planning and strategically developing appropriate sustainable resources for children and young people. The objective of this report is to support the ongoing development of quality services in South Dublin. It will be of value to those who plan and provide services to children and young people, and to professionals who have responsibility for the wellbeing and development of children and young people.
I would like to thank all the member organisations of the South Dublin CYPSC for their advice and support into the development of this report. In particular it is important to note the input and guidance of the Research & Learning sub-group. Both groups will be central to the development of future research and key actions in the forthcoming South Dublin Children and Young People’s Plan.
I would also like to acknowledge the work of David Studer, Coordinator of the South Dublin CYPSC and the All Ireland Research Observatory (AIRO) for their expertise and assistance in coordinating this report.

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 county 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 healthy 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 the 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, supporting 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 peo- ple. 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 South Dublin 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 SD CYPSC area. This output of this task will act as the starting point for the CYPP and provide a very detailed baseline from where SD 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 South Dublin Children’s and Young Persons Committee (SD CYPSC). The aim of this report is to document and visualise the most up-to-date datasets relating to Children and Young Persons in South Dublin. 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 SD 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 12 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 (LEAs). In order to assist the reader in understanding the rel- ative position of the SD 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 SD 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 CFSN boundaries • Multiple graphs that provide: (a) A comparative analysis (as above) for both raw numbers and percentage rates and (b) Comparator icons • Key commentary on the relative position of the SD CYPSC area
Note: Not all indicators are available for the SD area, in these cases data may be reported for the Dublin region as a whole or presented using other statistical geographies such as LHO areas.
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 South Dublin 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 SD, 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 278,767 people residing in the South Dublin (SD) CYPSC area.
2. Between 2011 and 2016, the population of South Dublin increased by 5.1% or 13,562 people. This rate of
13 Introduction
change was the seventh highest in the country with Fingal (8%) witnessing the highest level of increase.
3. According to Census 2016, there were 98,235 children and young people residing in SD. This figure represented 35.2% of the total population in SD. The proportion in South Dublin is higher than both the State (33.2%) and the Eastern & Midland Regional Assembly (EMRA) (33.5%) averages and the Dublin region (32%).
4. The children and young people (0-24 years) can be broken down as follows: 0 to 4 years (21,733 or 7.8%), 5 to 12 years (34,665 or 12.4%), 13 to 17 years (18,708 or 6.7%), 18 to 24 years (23,129 or 8.3%).
5. According to Census 2016, the Young Dependency Rate in South Dublin in 2016 was 34.9%. This rate is higher than the State ratio of 32.3%, the EMRA rate of 31.6% and the Dublin regional rate of 28.2%.
6. The breakdown of children and young people into ethnic groups in South Dublin is as follows: ‘White Irish Traveller’ (1.5% or 2,077), ‘Other White Background’ (7% or 6,711), ‘Black or Black Irish’ (5.9% or 5,674), ‘Asian or Asian Irish’ (4% or 3,831), ‘Other’ background (1.7% or 1,629) and ‘Not Stated’ (2.2% or 2,077).
Health
This section explores data relating to the health status of children and young people in SD. 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 SD 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 South Dublin was 29.9 years. This is below the State average of 30.9 years and is nearly two years lower than the Dublin regional average of 31.3 years. According to the CSO Vital Statistics, there were 14 registered births to mothers aged 10 to 17 years in South Dublin in 2016. Based on the population of females aged 10 to 17, the rate of births to mothers aged 10 to 17 in South Dublin was 4.0 per 10,000. Relative to other areas this was the eleventh lowest rate 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 10 domiciliary births recorded in South Dublin in that year. This equated to a rate of 2.2 per 1,000 births. This rate was lower than 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, 9 infant deaths occurred in South Dublin and represents an infant mortality rate of 2.1 per 1,000 births. This rate was lower 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, 5 neonatal deaths occurred in South Dublin and equates to a neonatal mortality rate of 1.2 per 1,000 births. This rate was lower 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 Local Health Office (LHO) of which four LHO fall in the SD CYPSC area; Dublin South City, Dublin South West, Dublin West and Dublin South East. Methods of self-harm includes the following - overdoses of medication and drugs, cutting and attempted hanging. a. Male population aged < 25: Relative to the three LHOs that fall within the South Dublin CYPSC area the 14 Introduction
Dublin South West recorded the highest rate of 209.3 and was the fourth highest in the country. This rate was above the State average of 161.6 and was higher than the other LHOs; Dublin West (183.5) and Dublin South City (161.5). b. Relative to the three LHOs that fall within the South Dublin CYPSC area the Dublin South West recorded the highest rate of the rate of self-harm in females at 384.8 and was the highest in the country, above the State average of 253.2. Dublin West also recorded a high rate of 355.2 and was higher than the Dublin South City LHO (254.6).
6. The number of those seeking treatment for substance misuse is recorded by the National Drug Treatment Reporting System (NDTRS). Relative to the three LHOs that fall within the South Dublin CYPSC area the Dublin South West recorded the highest at 10.2 and was above the State average of 6.8. This rate was the seventh highest rate in the country and higher than the other LHOs; Dublin West (8.7) and Dublin South City (7.3).
Education
The Education section of this report explores the education profile of SD. This section includes Census and non-Cen- sus indicators that directly or indirectly relate to children and young people. These indicators highlight patterns in educational attainment, childcare places, registrations for the Free Pre-School Year in Early Childhood Care and Edu- cation scheme, school absenteeism, retention rates and progression rates to third level.
Key Facts
1. According to Census 2011, there is a significant difference between education attainment levels in South Dublin and the State. In general, attainment levels in South Dublin have a much higher proportional share in the middle education levels and consequently a lower proportional share in higher education.
2. In 2011, there were 3,917 children with mothers with low levels of education in South Dublin. This number equates to approximately 6.6% of all children living in South Dublin and is the sixth highest rate in the country. In contrast, Donegal has the highest rate at 9.1% and DLR the lowest at 2.1%. When all levels of education attainment are examined, it is evident that the proportion of children with mothers with third level education in South Dublin (34.7%) is below the national (36.7%) and Dublin regional average (39%).
3. According to Census 2016, the total population residing in South Dublin with ‘No Formal or Primary Only’ education was 20,772. This represented 11.9% of the total population in South Dublin that had completed their education. This proportion was lower than the State average of 12.5%, higher than the Eastern and Midlands average of 11.3% and the Dublin regional average of 10.6%.
4. In the year 2015/16, there were 7,566 childcare places in South Dublin, this figure includes enrolled and vacant spaces and equates to a rate of 347.7 spaces per 1,000 children aged 0 to 4 years residing in South Dublin. Relative to all other local authorities, this was the second 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 4,691 children registered in South Dublin for the ECCE Year. Of the total registrations in South Dublin, 17% or 797 were in community services and 83% or 3,894 were in private services. South Dublin had a higher proportion of private places when compared with the State average of 75%. Relative to all other Local authorities, South Dublin had the seventh highest proportion of private registrations, with Fingal having the highest at 95% and Monaghan the lowest 40%.
6. In 2009, a total of 3,574 students entered the first year of the junior cycle in South Dublin. By 2012, a total of 3,441 students in that cohort had completed their Junior Certificate. This equates to a retention rate of 96.3%. This was marginally below the State average of 96.7%. Relative to other local authorities this rate was the fourteenth lowest rate in the country with Mayo recording the highest retention at 98.2% and Carlow the lowest at 94.6%.
15 Introduction
7. In 2016, the total students that sat the Leaving Certificate examination in South Dublin was 2,794. Of this figure, 69.7% or 1,948 of the students progressed to third level. This proportion was below the State average of 77.8% and relative to all other local authorities was the second lowest rate of progression in the country. On a comparative basis, DLR had the highest at 91.6% and Dublin City the lowest at 66.4%.
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 SD. 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, 685 young people aged under 18 were referred to the Garda Youth Diversion scheme in the DMR Southern Area. This figure equates to a rate of 12.5 per 1,000 young people aged under 18. Relative to the other divisions this was the second highest rate in 2015. In the same time-period the DMR Western recorded a rate of 11.7 and was the fifth highest rate.
3. As of March 2017, there were 436 children and young people in the care of Tusla in the Dublin SW/Kildare/ West Wicklow ISA. This figure equates to a rate of 4.2 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 second lowest rate in the country. Dublin SE Wicklow (3.5 or 286) recorded the lowest rate and Dublin City North recorded the highest at 8.4 (or 613).
4. Of the 394 children and young people in the care of Tusla in the Dublin SW/Kildare/West Wicklow ISA in March 2017, 376 (86%) had an allocated social worker. Relative to the other ISA areas, this was the second lowest in the country. A number of ISAs all recorded rates of 100% (Mayo, Donegal, Sligo-Leitrim-West Cavan) whilst in the Dublin South Central only 98% (386) were allocated a social worker and was the fifth highest in the country.
Economy
The Economy section of this report explores the economic profile of SD. 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 2016 Pobal HP Deprivation Index shows the level of overall affluence and deprivation at the level of 18,488 Small Areas (SAs) in 2016 in Ireland. Based on the Relative Index Scores for 2016, South Dublin as a whole is the eleventh most affluent local authority in the country with a score of .3. This is marginally above the State score of 0.6 (Marginally Above Average) and the Dublin regional score of 3.7 (Marginally Above Average). In contrast, Donegal had the lowest score of -6.4 (marginally below average) and DLR recorded the highest score of 10 (affluent).
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 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’.
16 Introduction
3. In 2016, there were 2,277 lone parent households on the social housing waiting list in South Dublin. This figure represented a rate of 146.3 per 1,000 lone parent households in South Dublin. Relative to the other LAs, this rate was the seventh highest rate in the State and was above the State average of 127.3.
4. According to Census 2016, the total population unemployed and residing in South Dublin was 18,265. This represented 13.3% of the total labour force (At Work and Unemployed). This proportion was higher than the State average of 12.9%, the Eastern and Midlands average of 12.4% and the Dublin regional average of 11.6%.
5. As of July 2017, there were 1,799 young people (under 25 years) on the Live Register in South Dublin. This figure represents approximately 14% of the total live register recipients in the area. The majority of these young people are recipients at the Tallaght (1,153) SWO with a lower number at the Clondalkin (646) SWO. At 14.9%, Tallaght had a higher percentage of those signing on aged under the age of 25 years when compared to the Clondalkin SWO (12.6%).
6. According to Census 2016, the total ‘Lone Parent’ families with children under the age of 15 residing in South Dublin was 15,559. This represented 24.0% of the families with children under the age of 15. Lone mothers accounted for 22.6% (7,723) and lone fathers 1.5% (509). This proportion was higher 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 15,502 Lone Parents residing in South Dublin, of these 43.7% (6,780) were ‘At Work’, 16.2% (2,517) were ‘Unemployed’ and 40% (6,205) were ‘Not in the Labour Force’.
8. According to Pobal, the average weekly cost of full-time childcare in South Dublin is €191. This figure is €24 more than the average cost at a State level and is €6 less than then Dublin regional average. Relative to all other local authorities, South Dublin had the fourth highest cost of full-time childcare in 2015/16. In contrast, DLR had the highest at €214 and Monaghan had the lowest weekly cost at €142.
9. In 2016, there were 3,424 OPF payments being made to parents in South Dublin. This is equivalent to a rate of 220.1 per 1,000 lone parent families residing in South Dublin. Relative to all other local authorities this was the seventh highest rate in the State.
10. As of December 2016, there were 22,667 children and young people aged under 24 qualifying for a GMS medical card in the Dublin South West LHO. This figure is equivalent to 43% of the total population aged under 24 and relative to the other LHO’s was the sixth highest proportion in the State. The Dublin West LHO had the fifth highest proportion with 43% (22,644) of the population aged under 24 qualifying for the GMS Medical Card. In contrast, both the Dublin South City LHO only recorded 23.7% (10,119) and was the fourth lowest in the State.

20 2. Demography
Demography Indicator 2.1: Population Change, 2011-2016
There was a 5.1% population increase between 2011 and 2016
S. Dublin had the Second Lowest population growth in the Dublin Region
At 14.4% The CFSN of Network 6: Brookfield/ Springfield/Fettercairn had the highest population growth
Map 2.1: Population change, 2011 to 2016 (Source: CSO & AIRO) According Census 2016, there were 278,767 people residing in South Dublin. Between 2011 and 2016, the population grew by 5.1% or 13,562. This rate of population growth (5.1%) is higher than the State Average (3.8%) and just below the Dublin regional average of 5.8%. Relative to all other LAs, South Dublin had the seventh highest population growth in the State. Fingal recorded the highest rate in the State at 8.0% and Donegal the lowest with a decline of 1.2%. Of the four Dublin LAs, South Dublin recorded the lowest growth between 2011 and 2016 with Dublin City also at 5.1%. Fingal recorded the highest rate at 8 % followed by DLR (5.7%). Variations are evident when examining the distribution of the population growth across the CFSNs. The Network 6: Brookfield/Springfield/Fettercairn CFSN experienced the highest growth by far with a rate of 14.4% with Network 1: South Clondalkin & Environs (9.3%), Network 3: Lucan: Lucan (8.1%) and Network 7: Jobstown/Killinardan/Kiltipper: (6.0%) all having lower rates. These rates were all considerably higher than Network 4: Rathfarnham: Rathfarnham (1.7%) and Network 5: Tallaght East/Templeogue/Terenure (1.3%). Network 2: North Clondalkin/Palmerstown (0.3%) experienced the lowest population growth of all as the population only grew by 69 people between 2011 and 2016. The map above details the distribution of population change at ED level throughout South Dublin. There is a clear spatial distribution with EDs of the highest proportions in the western area of the county in Tallaght, Saggart and Rathcoole. The EDs that witnessed the highest population change of over 15% were Ballinascroney (15.9%), Rathcoole (16.7%), Tallaght-Springfield (20.7%) and Saggart (34.0%). 23 South Dublin CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 2.1: Population Change, 2011-2016

Map 2.2: Population change, 2011 to 2016 (Source: CSO & AIRO)
Between 2011 and 2016, the population of South Dublin increased by 5.1% or 13,562 people. This rate of change was the seventh highest in the country with Fingal (8%) witnessing the highest level of increase. An examination of the proportion of population that is in the under 24 age group reveals that 35.2% of the population in South Dublin (or 98,235) are within this age group. Relative to the other LAs, this is the sixth highest proportion in the State with Dublin City (28.2%) recording the lowest rate. In contrast, Kildare had the highest rate at 36.6%. The proportion in South Dublin is higher than both the State (33.2%) and the EMRA (33.5%) averages and the Dublin region (32%).

The population pyramid above illustrates the age structure of both South Dublin 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, South Dublin would be an example of this. There are some differences between South Dublin and the State with South Dublin having a marginally higher proportion of the population within the younger age-cohorts (0 to 4, 5 to 9 etc.). In the centre of the population pyramid, there is a higher proportion younger working age cohorts (30 to 34, 35 to 39 etc.) in South Dublin when compared to the State. At the higher end of the population pyramid there are dissimilarities with South Dublin having a smaller proportional share of its population within the elderly age cohorts (70+).

According to Census 2016, there were 3,988 children aged under 1 year residing in South Dublin. This represented 1.4% of the total population in South Dublin. This proportion was higher 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, South Dublin had the fourth highest proportion of under one year olds in the State. Fingal recorded the highest at 1.5% and Cork City the lowest at 1.1%. Of the four Dublin LAs, Dublin City (1.2%) had the lowest proportion of under one year olds with the second lowest in DLR (1.2%). Fingal recorded the highest followed by South Dublin (1.4%). Variations are evident when examining the distribution of the under 1 year olds across the CFSNs. Network 7: Jobstown/Killinardan/Kiltipper (1.7% or 545), Network 6: Brookfield/Springfield/Fettercairn (1.6% or 333), Network 3: Lucan (1.6% or 764) and Network 1: South Clondalkin & Environs: South Clondalkin & Environs (1.6% or 749) all recorded the highest proportions. These rates were higher than all others CFSNs with Net- work 2: North Clondalkin/Palmerstown (1.2% or 288), Network 4: Rathfarnham (1.2% or 476) and Network 5: Tallaght East/Templeogue/Terenure (1.2% or 833) all recording similar rates. The map above details the distribution of the children aged under 1 year at SA level throughout South Dublin. There is a clear pattern of high values in the SAs outside of the M50 in Lucan, Grange Castle, City West and Tallaght. Areas that contain the highest values of over 5% were Clondalkin Village, Mount Seskin and Deerpark. 27 South Dublin CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 2.4: Population Aged Under 1 Year, 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 14 registered births to mothers aged 10 to 17 years in South Dublin in 2016. Based on the population of females aged 10 to 17, the rate of births to mothers aged 10 to 17 in South Dublin was 4.0 per 10,000. Relative to other areas this was the eleventh lowest rate in the State. Wexford had the highest rate of 8.4 and the amalgamated areas of Clare & Kerry (1.2) had the lowest scores. The time series shows that in the six-year period, the South Dublin rate decreased from 15 in 2010 to 4.0 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. 60 Health Indicator 3.3: Mothers Attending Antenatal Care in the 1st Trimester, 2015

The National Perinatal Reporting System (NPRS) measures the proportion of pregnant women attending for antenatal care in the first trimester of pregnancy. 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 South Dublin 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. 61 South Dublin CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 3.4: Domiciliary Births, 2014

The CSO defines domiciliary births as registered births that take place outside of hospitals and includes home births. According to the latest CSO Vital Statistics Annual Report (2014), there were 10 domiciliary births recorded in South Dublin in that year. This equated to a rate of 2.2 per 1,000 births. This rate was lower than both the State (3.9) and the Dublin regional average (4.3). Relative to all other local authorities, South Dublin had the sixteenth lowest 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 South Dublin with rates ranging from 2.6 per 1,000 births in 2011 to 0.8 in 2013. The domiciliary birth rate in South Dublin has consistently remained lower between 2011 and 2014 than 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, 9 infant deaths occurred in South Dublin and represents an infant mortality rate of 2.1 per 1,000 births. This rate was lower than the State average of 3.3 and the Dublin regional average of 3.7. Relative to other local authorities in 2016, South Dublin had the sixth lowest 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 Region infant mortality rates have remained stable between 2011 and 2016. A noticeable decrease in the recorded rate in South Dublin can be seen between 2015 (3.4) and 2016 (2.1). This variation is due to the number of occurrences in 2015 being higher (15) than the number in 2016 (9). According to the National Paediatric Mortality Register, geographical location is not related to variances in the infant mortality rate. 63 South Dublin 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, 5 neonatal deaths occurred in South Dublin and equates to a neonatal mortality rate of 1.2 per 1,000 births. This rate was lower 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, South Dublin had the sixth lowest 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 mortality rate, the neonatal mortality rate in South Dublin witnessed a decrease be- tween 2015 and 2016, increasing from 2.5 to 1.2. This is as a result of the higher than normal number of occurrences in 2015 (11) and the number of occurrences in 2016 being lower (5).

Figure 3.7: Low birth weight, 2015 (Source: Perinatal Statistics & AIRO)
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 South Dublin 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. 65 South Dublin CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 3.8: Breastfeeding, 2015

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 South Dublin 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 aver- age 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 66 State and Dublin regional averages.

The figures for 2011 and 2013 refer to babies visited within the first 48 hours of discharge whilst 2015 refers to the first 72 hours. This data is recorded by Local Health Office (LHO) of which three LHOs fall in the South Dublin CYPSC area; Dublin South City, Dublin South West and Dublin West. In 2016, 100% of babies in Dublin South City were visited within 72 hours of being discharged from hospital, 92.4% in Dublin South West and 90.6% in Dublin West. Relative to the 32 others LHOs, the Dublin South City LHO recorded the highest proportion of babies visited in the first 72 hours and were above the State average of 97.7%. In comparison, the Dublin South East LHO recorded the third lowest proportion and Dublin West recorded the lowest proportion. Between 2015 and 2016, in the Dublin South West LHO there was a notable decrease of 8%. There has also been some notable fluctuations in Dublin West between 2013 (92%) and 2014 (85%). However, since 2012 the Dublin South City LHO has remained stable, as has the State level. 67 South Dublin CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 3.10: Breastfeeding at Public Health Nurse Visits,

This data is recorded by Local Health Office (LHO) of which three LHOs fall in the South Dublin area; Dublin South City, Dublin South West and Dublin West, however no data was recorded for Dublin South City in this time period. In June 2017, 57.1% of mothers visited by the public health nurse for the first time reported to be breastfeeding exclusively in the Dublin South West LHO. Relative to the other 29 LHOs (no data was provided for three LHOs) this was the ninth highest proportion recorded in the State. In the Dublin West LHO 52.2% of mothers were recorded as breastfeeding exclusively and was the fourteenth lowest in the State. In June 2017, 40.7% of mothers at their three-month public health nurse visit reported to be breastfeeding exclusively in the Dublin South West LHO. Relative to the other 29 LHOs (no data was provided for three LHOs) this was the twelfth highest proportion recorded in the State. In the Dublin West LHO 32.8% of mothers were recorded as breastfeeding exclusively and was the thirteenth lowest proportion of mothers breastfeeding.

Figure 3.11: Immunisation rates at 12 months, 2015 (Source: Health Protection Surveillance Centre & AIRO) Immunisation rates are published by the Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC) based in the HSE and are recorded by Local Health Offices (LHOs). This data is recorded by Local Health Office (LHO) of which three LHOs fall in the South Dublin CYPSC area; Dublin South City, Dublin South West, and Dublin West. The data illustrated in the above graphics refer to the administration of immunisation vaccines at twelve months for D3P3T3. D3P3T3 refers to three doses of diphtheria, petusis and tetanus and is administered with two other vaccinations; Hib3 refers to three doses of haemophilus influenza type b and HepB3 refers to three doses of vaccine against hepatitis B. Relative to the three LHOs that fall within the South Dublin CYPSC Area, 94% of the children in the Dublin South West LHO had received their vaccinations at 12 months and was the highest rate. The second highest rate was recorded in Dublin South City (91%) and the lowest in Dublin West (87%). In recent years the immunisation rates have tended to fluctuate particularly in Dublin West and Dublin South City LHOs. In 2011, the rate in Dublin West decreased to 70% from 87% in 2010. This rate then recovered in 2012 (88%), however the rate has since seen a decrease again between 2014 (93%) and 2015 (91%). The South City LHO saw a slight decrease in recent years from 93% in 2014 to 91% in 2015, however, the Dublin South West LHO saw an increase in this time period. 69 South Dublin CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 3.12: Immunisation Rates at 24 Months, 2015

In the Dublin South City LHO, 95% of the children had received their vaccinations at 12 months and was the lowest rate. In general, vaccination and immunisation rates have tended to fluctuate in the LHOs in recent years. Despite these fluctuations, the overall trends suggests that rates are remaining on or above the national target rate of 95%.

Figure 3.15: Children and Young People Registered with an intellectual disability, 2016 (Source: NIDD & AIRO)
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 at in Dublin. In the same time period there was an increase in the total number of registrations in the State.

The National Intellectual Physical Database is managed by the HRB and contains registrations of people with a physical 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 1,182 children and young people registered with a physical disability in the Dublin region. Of this number, 3.4% (40) were aged 0 to 4 years, 17.3% (205) were aged 5 to 9 years, 31.0% (366) were aged 10 to 14 years and 48.3% (571) were aged 15 to 19 years. In comparison to the State figures, the Dublin region had a higher representation in the 15 to 19 age group and a lower representation in the younger age groups of 5 to 9 and 10 to 14 years. The time series chart documents the percentage change of the number of registrations on an annual basis be- tween 2010 and 2016. Apart from a steep increase between 2012 and 2013, the number of registrations have decreased at both the Dublin regional level between 2014 and 2016 and the State.

This data is recorded by Local Health Office (LHO) of which three LHOs fall in the South Dublin CYPSC area; Dublin South City, Dublin South West and Dublin West. 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. Relative to the three LHOs that fall within the South Dublin CYPSC area the Dublin South West recorded the highest at 10.2 and was above the State average of 6.8. This rate was the seventh highest rate in the country and higher than the other LHOs; Dublin West (8.7) and Dublin South City (7.3). In recent years (2010 to 2015), the rate of those seeking treatment for substance misuse has fluctuated however there are general trends. The rates in the Dublin West and Dublin South West have generally exceeded the State average in recent years. The Dublin City South rate has generally been in line with the State. This with the acception of a decrease between 2012 and 2013 when the rate decreased from 8.1 to 2.1. This was because the number of those seeking treatment being unusually low in 2013 (5). 81 South Dublin 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 one falls in the South Dublin CYPSC Area; CHO 7. In 2016, there were 2,041 children and young people referred to CAMHS in CHO 7. This figure represents a rate of 138.2 in CHO 7 per 1,000 population aged under 18 years. Relative to the other CHOs, CHO 7 recorded the fourth lowest rate and was lower than the State average of 155.1. Of the total referrals in 2016, 713 were not admitted in CHO 7. 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, CHO7 had the highest number of children referred that did not meet the service criteria.

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 South Dublin. The main graphic focuses on level of low educational attainment, either no formal education or primary education. In 2011, there were 3,917 children with mothers with low levels of education in South Dublin. This number equates to approximately 6.6% of all children living in South Dublin and is the sixth highest rate in the country. In contrast, Donegal has the highest rate at 9.1% and DLR the lowest at 2.1%. When all levels of education attainment are examined, it is evident that the proportion of children with mothers with third level education in South Dublin (34.7%) is below the national (36.7%) and Dublin regional average (39%). Whilst the proportion of children with mothers with a secondary education (59.6%) is higher than the 86 State average (56.1%) and Dublin regional average (52.7%).

Map 4.3: Education attainment - no formal or primary only, 2016 (Source: CSO & AIRO) According to Census 2016, the total population residing in South Dublin with ‘No Formal or Primary Only’ education was 20,772. This represented 11.9% of the total population in South Dublin that had completed their education. This proportion was lower than the State average of 12.5%, higher than the Eastern and Midlands average of 11.3% and the Dublin regional average of 10.6%. Relative to all other LAs, South Dublin had the ninth lowest proportion of people with ‘No Formal or Primary Only’ education in the State. Donegal recorded the highest rate in the State at 20.4% and DLR the lowest at 6.3%. Relative to the four Dublin LAs, South Dublin had the second highest rate. The highest rate was in Dublin City (12.8%), followed by South Dublin, Fingal (7.7%) and the lowest in DLR (6.3%). Variations are evident when examining the distribution of ‘No Formal or Primary Only’ education across the CFSNs. The CFSN of Network 2: North Clondalkin/Palmerstown had by far the highest rate at 20.6% (or 3,189). This rate was followed by Network 6: Brookfield/Springfield/Fettercairn (15.4% or 1,918), Network 5: Tallaght East/Templeogue/Terenure (14.2% or 6,706) and Network 7: Jobstown/Killinardan/Kiltipper (14% or 2,387). The lowest rates were recorded in Network 1: South Clondalkin & Environs (11.6% or 3,336), Network 3: Lucan (6.7% or 1,794) and Network 4: Rathfarnham (5.4% or 1,442). The map above details the distribution of the population with ‘No Formal or Primary Only’ education at SA level throughout South Dublin. There is a very clear spatial distribution with the lowest rates in the areas closer to the Dublin City such as Templeogue, Walkinstown and Ballyroan, whilst the highest values are evident in Ronanstown, Clondalkin and Firhouse. SAs with the highest proportions of over 35% were located Perrystown and Seskin View. 87 South Dublin CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 4.3: Education Attainment - No Formal or Primary Only, 2016

Relative to other local authorities, South Dublin had the fourth highest rate 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. 93 South Dublin CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 4.8: Post-Primary School Absenteeism, 2014/15

Figure 4.12: Progression to third level by post-primary school, 2016 (Source: Irish Times) Data published by the Irish Times on the number of pupils that sit the Leaving Certificate in post-primary schools in Ireland and the numbers of pupils that have successfully secured a place in a third level institution and is available by individual schools. 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, only three out of the 31 post-primary schools in South Dublin recorded progression rates of 100%. Six out of 9 schools that recorded progression rates of 50% or less were schools with a DEIS allocation; Deansrath Community College, St. Kevin’s Comm. College, St Aidan’s Community School, Mount Seskin Community College, Collinstown Park Comm. College and Killinarden Community School.

Figure 5.1: Domestic violence barring orders, 2015 (Source: Court Services & AIRO) Domestic violence is the use of physical or emotional force or threat of physical force in a close adult relationship. 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. 101 South Dublin 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 South Dublin CYPSC areas, there are two Garda Divisions; DMR Western and DMR Southern. In 2015, 685 young people aged under 18 were referred to the Garda Youth Diversion scheme in the DMR Southern Area. This figure equates to a rate of 12.5 per 1,000 young people aged under 18. Relative to the other divisions this was the second highest rate in 2015. In the same time-period the DMR Western recorded a rate of 11.7 and was the fifth highest rate. 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 Southern area recorded a rate of 22.3, by 2015 this rate had dropped to 12.5.

Figure 5.4: Children in care, 2017 (Source: Tusla & AIRO) A child is placed in the care of Tusla when their parents are not able to provide appropriate care or a child has been subject to abuse. 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 ISA area, of which there are two in the South Dublin CYPSC Area; Dublin South Central and Dublin SW/Kildare/West Wicklow. As of March 2017, there were 436 children and young people in the care of Tusla in the Dublin SW/Kildare/ West Wicklow ISA. This figure equates to a rate of 4.2 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 second lowest rate in the country. Dublin SE Wicklow (3.5 or 286) recorded the lowest rate and Dublin City North recorded the highest at 8.4 (or 613). Of the 436 children and young people in the care of Tusla in the Dublin SW/Kildare/West Wicklow ISA, only 0.3% were in ‘Residential Special Care’, 6.7% (29) were in ‘General Residential Care’, 57.1% (249) were in ‘Foster Care’ and 35.3% (154) were in ‘Relative Foster Care’.

Figure 5.5: Children in care with a written care plan and allocated social worker, 2017 (Source: Tusla) Social workers provide front-line 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 ISA area, of which there are two in the South Dublin CYPSC Area; Dublin South Central and Dublin SW/Kildare/West Wicklow. Of the 436 children and young people in the care of Tusla in the Dublin SW/Kildare/West Wicklow ISA in March 2017, 376 (86%) had an allocated social worker. Relative to the other ISA areas, this was the second lowest in the country. A number of ISAs all recorded rates of 100% (Mayo, Donegal, Sligo-Leitrim-West Cavan) whilst in the Dublin South Central only 98% (386) were allocated a social worker and was the fifth highest in the country. 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, 360 (83%) children in the Dublin SW/Kildare/West Wicklow ISA in the care of Tusla had a written care plan. Relative to the other ISA areas, this was the third lowest in the country. Dublin South Central ISA (60% or 236) recorded the lowest proportion when compared with other ISAs. 105 South Dublin CYPSC Evidence Baseline Report, 2017 Indicator 5.6: Young People Preparing to Leave Care, 2017

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 ISA area, of which there are two in the South Dublin CYPSC Area; Dublin South Central and Dublin SW/Kildare/West Wicklow. In March 2017, 54 young people aged 16 and 17 in the Dublin SW/Kildare/West Wicklow ISA had a preparation for leaving care and aftercare plan. This figure equates to 59.3% of the total young people in care aged 16 and 17. Relative to all other ISAs this was the third highest rate. The ISA of Dublin South Central (12.9% or 9) recorded the third lowest rate. As of March 2017, 30 young people aged 16 and 17 in the Dublin SW/Kildare/West Wicklow ISA had an allocated aftercare social worker. Equivalent to a rate of 33%, this was the fifth lowest rate in the country. The Dublin South Central ISA (11.4% or 8) recorded the lowest rate.

Figure 5.7: Young people availing of aftercare in full-time education, 2017 (Source: Tusla) As part of 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 ISA area, of which there are two in the South Dublin CYPSC Area; Dublin South Central and Dublin SW/Kildare/West Wicklow. As of March 2017, there were 55 young adults aged 18 to 20 years in the Tusla aftercare service in the Dublin SW/Kildare/West Wicklow ISA availing of full-time education and is equivalent to 48.7% in aftercare services. Relative to the other ISAs this was the fourth lowest proportion and below the State average of 59.3%. The Dublin South Central ISA (56.1% or 74) recorded the ninth highest rate. As of March 2017, there were 67 young adults aged 18 to 22 years in the Tusla aftercare service in the Dublin SW/Kildare/West Wicklow ISA availing of full-time education. This is the equivalent to 45.9% of the total young adults in aftercare services. Relative to the other ISAs, this was the forth lowest rate and was below the State average of 59.7%. The Dublin South Central ISA (50.6% or 79) recorded the seventh lowest rate.

Figure 5.8: Children and Young People in Reception Centres, 2016 (Source: Reception and Integration Agency & AIRO) After an asylum seeker makes an application for asylum, they are offered accommodation in a reception centre. This accommodation is provided on a full board basis and includes a bed and three meals per day. In total, there are 31 direct provision centres and 2 self-catering accommodation centres in the State. Data on the number, gender and age-group of the people resident in these centres is published by the Reception and Integration Agency by centre. For the purpose of this report the data has been amalgamated to South Dublin. As of 2016, there were 93 children and young people aged 24 years and under resident in direct provision centres in the South Dublin area. This figure represented a rate of 9.5 per 10,000 children and young people in the South Dublin area and was above the State average of 9.1. Of the 69 children and young people residing within the direct provision centres, 40.9% (38) were aged 0 to 4 years, 39.8% (37) were aged 5 to 12 years, 3.2% (3) were aged 13 to 17 years and 16.1% (15) were aged 18 to 24 years. 108 6.

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 South Dublin.

For the purpose of this report, it was released by SWO level to allow for aggregation to local authority level. 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 3,424 OPF payments being made to parents in South Dublin. This is equivalent to a rate of 220.1 per 1,000 lone parent families residing in South Dublin. Relative to all other local authorities this was the seventh highest 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 South Dublin with rates decreasing from 437.8 in 2011 to 220.1 in 2016. There has also been a noticeable decrease in rates at the State level with a significant drop evident in 2014. 127 South Dublin 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 three in South Dublin; Dublin South West, Dublin West and Dublin South City. The figures are as of December 2015 and were recorded after the introduction of the GP Visit Card for Children Under 6 Scheme whereby all children registered for the scheme aged under 6 are provided with free GP services regardless of the families income. As of December 2016, there were 22,667 children and young people aged under 24 qualifying for a GMS medical card in the Dublin South West LHO. This figure is equivalent to 43% of the total population aged under 24 and relative to the other LHO’s was the sixth highest proportion in the State. The Dublin West LHO had the fifth highest proportion with 43% (22,644) of the population aged under 24 qualifying for the GMS Medical Card. In contrast, both the Dublin South City LHO only recorded 23.7% (10,119) and was the fourth lowest in the State. 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 Dublin West LHO is the 12 to 15 age groups with 55.1% of the age group qualifying for the 128 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 July 2017, there were 1,799 young people (under 25 years) on the Live Register in South Dublin. This figure represents approximately 14% of the total live register recipients in the area. The majority of these young people are recipients at the Tallaght (1,153) SWO with a lower number at the Clondalkin (646) SWO. At 14.9%, Tallaght had a higher percentage of those signing on aged under the age of 25 years when compared to the Clondalkin SWO (12.6%). The bottom graphic provides time series illustration of Under 25 Live Register levels from 2006 to 2017. Following a peak in M7 2010 (5,048) 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 2008.
