Notes

All figures are three-year averages, produced by aggregating the number of deaths and mid-year population estimates across each three-year period to provide large enough numbers to ensure that the figures presented are sufficiently robust. As such, 2011 data represents the average for 2011-2013. Life expectancy figures are based on deaths registered in each calendar year and mid-year population estimates as the denominator. Mid 2002–10 population estimates have been revised in light of the 2011 Census. Data for this period are therefore based on these revised estimates. back to Contents list of indicators

Notes

Some registers recorded under QOF have been excluded from the data provided here as these do not actually measure disease prevalence, such as the conditions assessed for smoking register, which does not allow prevalence of smoking to be derived but rather whether of the smoking status of patients with certain conditions has been recorded. In 2014/15, the hypothyroidism, chronic kidney disease and conditions assessed for smoking registers were removed, and there was a change to the definition of the cardiovascular disease – primary prevention register. In 2015/16, the epilepsy, obesity, learning disabilities and peripheral arterial disease registers were removed from the framework. List sizes are recorded as at January of the relevant year, prevalence is recorded as at 31 March (From 2009, National Prevalence Day was changed from 14 February to 31 March to bring it in line with National QOF Achievement Day). The figures presented are as submitted to PCAS. There is no adjustment for known factors that might influence disease prevalence such as the age structure of practice populations. back to Contents list of indicators

Redundancy Statistics: While the figures provided are likely to be an underestimate of total job losses, it is not possible to quantify the extent of the shortfall. Subject to the criteria mentioned above, employers must notify the Department of (a) redundancies proposed and (b) redundancies confirmed. Since all proposed redundancies do not actually take place, the confirmed total provides a better indication of real job losses. Proposed redundancies are notified to the Department using the Advance Notification - HR1 Form. Redundancies do not necessarily equate to job losses, for example, employees who do not qualify for a redundancy package, those on temporary contracts, will not be incorporated into the redundancy figures. The Northern Ireland Redundancy data by Northern Ireland sub- region and job sector are available. [ 18-03-2009 ] Employment Rights (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 (Amended 8 October 2006)

Advance notification of redundancies: The Department for Employment and Learning announced changes in the way collective redundancy notifications must be made. From 8 October 2006, businesses proposing to make collective redundancies (i.e. where 20 or more employees are to be made redundant) must notify the relevant public authority before redundancy notices are issued to staff. The new Regulations address a European Court of Justice decision in the case of Junk-v-Kuhnel , which clarifies that notification of redundancies to public authorities must take place before redundancy notices are issued. What you are required to do: - As an employer, you are required by law to notify the Department of a proposal to make redundant 20 or more employees a) before giving notice to terminate an employee's contract of employment in respect of these dismissals and b) within a 90 day period as follows: • If 20 to 99 redundancies may occur at one establishment, you must notify us at least 30 days before the first dismissal. • If 100 or more redundancies may occur at one establishment, you must notify us at least 90 days before the first dismissal. We will treat the date on which we receive your completed form as the date of notification. back to Contents list of indicators

Notes: Sub-Northern Ireland analysis from the BRES is primarily based on the location of the jobs, not on the home address of the employees. However, in a small number of instances where employers were not able to provide figures by actual location employees are assigned to the head office. The BRES counts the number of jobs rather than the number of persons with jobs. Therefore a person holding both a full-time and a part-time job, or someone with two part-time jobs, will be counted twice. The analysis is based on 2014 Ward boundaries, which have been aggregated to form District Council Areas.

Enrolments on Regulated courses at Northern Ireland Further Education (FE) Institutions. From 2013/14 the information is data derived from the Consolidated Data Return (CDR), a computerised return consisting of an individual record for each enrolment on a course in Northern Ireland Further Education Institutions. Prior to 2013/14 the information is data derived from the Further Education Statistical Record, a computerised return consisting of an individual record for each enrolment on a course in Northern Ireland Further Education Institutions. The dataset is gathered annually and is a full year count of the academic year. The academic year covers the period 1 August 2015 - 31 July 2016. Colleges collect the information on Enrolment forms. This information is entered onto the Colleges Management Information System. The Department extracts and validates this information from the colleges. The data is then merged with the CPD and checked. The dataset was created using the Central Postcode Directory. Approximately 3% of all enrolments are not unassigned to a geography due to invalid geo-referencing or non Northern Ireland domicile students. back to Contents list of indicators

Injury Road Traffic Collisions and casualties by severity of injury. The dataset is compiled from Collision Report Forms (CRFs) forms that are submitted by police officers and entered onto a database. These forms are completed by the officer when any collision involving death or personal injury occurring on a road or other public place is reported to them. Datasets are produced on a calendar year basis. For 2013 and 2014 data, the mid-year population estimates for 2013 and 2014 respectively have been used for the number of collisions/casualties per 10,000 people; for 2015, the data has now been updated using the mid-year population estimates for 2015. Note: The data set excludes the following a) collisions resulting in damage only b) collisions in car parks and picnic areas c) collisions reported to the police 30 days or more after their occurrence d) collisions on a road closed to the public by order of the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, during the holding of motor car, motor cycle, pedal cycle races etc. The data covers only those injury road traffic collisions reported to police, any unreported collisions will not be included in this dataset. In some circumstances LGD statistics will differ slightly to published statistics by PSNI Policing Area. This is due to a discrepancy between the Policing Area recorded on the CRF and the geocode given to the collision. back to Contents list of indicators

Notes

Recorded Crime (Notifiable Offences Recorded) data are compiled from offence information that is submitted by police officers and entered onto a PSNI crime recording system. The data are presented on a financial year basis (e.g. 2001 data refers to the 2001/02 financial year). On 6th August 2015 PSNI published a bulletin providing a comprehensive series of police recorded crime data for each financial year from 1998/99 to 2014/15, allowing the user to monitor long term crime trends. The Home Office introduced a new classification in April 2015 (Modern Slavery) which can be found within Violence without injury; these offences were previously classified to Sexual offences and Miscellaneous crimes against society. For this reason these classifications will differ slightly from the figures published in the annual trends bulletin.

Offences recorded by category of crime: Recorded crime - Offences, Violence with injury (including homicide), Violence without injury, Sexual offences, Robbery, Domestic burglary, Non-domestic burglary, Vehicle offences, Theft from the person, Bicycle theft, Shoplifting, All other theft offences, Criminal damage Trafficking of drugs, Possession of drugs, Possession of weapons offences, Public order offences, Miscellaneous crimes against society, Other fraud, Recorded Crime where the victim is age 60+ (violence against the person, burglary, non vehicle theft, criminal damage and other offences) back to Contents list of indicators

Notes

Anti-social behaviour incident data (i.e. those calls for service which do not result in a crime being recorded) are output from a command and control system which is used to respond to calls for service from members of the public by prioritising the call and tasking the appropriate police response. Each incident is closed off using codes and definitions set out in the National Standard for Incident Recording, designed to provide a common approach to be followed by police forces in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in classifying the broad range of calls for service received. These figures should be interpreted as 'calls for service' rather than as figures which reflect the true level of victimisation. As these figures only relate to those anti-social behaviour incidents reported to the police (and may exclude those incidents reported to other agencies, such as local councils), they only provide an indication of the true extent of reported anti-social behaviour. Data on anti-social behaviour incidents reported to the police have been compiled since the NSIR was introduced in April 2006.

Between April 2006 and March 2011, ASB incidents were split into fourteen different incident types, and these categories were used as the basis on which ASB incident levels were reported. Following Home Office national guidance introduced on 1st April 2011 on how police forces record ASB incidents, the existing approach was changed to focus more on the needs of the caller or risk to the caller rather than the previous approach which centred on categorising the type of ASB incident. As a result the number of ASB incident types was reduced from fourteen to three. The focus is now on how the ASB incident being reported impacts on the caller, with emphasis placed on identifying the vulnerable individuals, communities and environments most at risk. While the national guidance and incident types for recording anti-social behaviour changed from 1st April 2011, the overall levels before and after this change appear to be sufficiently comparable for a time series of figures recorded under both the previous and the current guidance to be produced. However it should be noted that the figures prior to 1st April 2011 exclude the incident type ‘Hoax Calls to Emergency Services’, which was one of the fourteen incident types in use between 2006/07 and 2010/11. Incidents of this nature were removed from the Anti-Social Behaviour category and placed in the Public Safety and Welfare category from the start of April 2011. This incident type was removed from figures prior to 1st April 2011 to maintain data comparability.

As anti-social behaviour incidents are extracted from an operational system whose primary function is to prioritise and respond to calls for service from members of the public, the data will always be subject to change and may not match previously published figures. Incidents of anti-social behaviour are not individually checked for compliance with the National Standard for Incident Recording by the PSNI’s Statistics Branch. However, Statistics Branch conduct audits of anti-social behaviour incidents and common types of errors in the application of incident closure codes identified through the audit process are fed back to relevant staff. back to Contents list of indicators

Notes Working age = 16-64 Labour market structure by District Council - Labour Force Survey Local Area Database. The annual database is created by taking waves one and five from each of the Labour Force Survey’s four consecutive quarters to give an annually representative sample. The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is the largest regular household survey carried out in Northern Ireland, with responses obtained from approximately 2,000 households and 5,700 individuals each quarter. While these quarterly datasets permit quite detailed analysis of the labour market at Northern Ireland level, sub- Northern Ireland analysis is often hindered by the relatively small sample numbers. In order to enhance the utility of the survey data collected, a series of LFS annual databases have been developed which contain 60% more records than are found in each quarterly database. These permit more extensive sub-regional analysis and a series of tables are published in the Local Area Database (LADB). back to Contents list of indicators

Source: Inter-department Business Register Notes The Inter Departmental Business Register (IDBR) is a UK register and contains information on businesses which are registered for VAT or operating a PAYE scheme. The data is at March of each year. The IDBR covers most of the economy including the Agriculture, Production and Service sectors in Northern Ireland. It does not however include very small businesses which are not VAT registered unless they operate a PAYE scheme. This means that many self-employed workers will not be included in these counts. The Northern Ireland figures include all VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses operating in Northern Ireland (even if the business' main or registered UK address is elsewhere in the UK). Businesses are assigned to geographies within Northern Ireland based on the address of the site which reports Northern Ireland activity. This is usually the main operating site or ‘head office’ within Northern Ireland. In a small number of cases the site which reports Northern Ireland activity is outside Northern Ireland (for example in the Republic of Ireland) but the registered UK address (or Enterprise address) is in Northern Ireland; in this case the Enterprise address is used to assign the business to a geographical location. This has only been possible for 2012 and 2013 as the Enterprise address was not included on earlier extracts. If both addresses are outside Northern Ireland (for example in England, Scotland or Wales) the geographical location of the business within Northern Ireland is unknown. The former dataset "VAT and or PAYE registered businesses" included only those businesses with their registered (or main) UK address in Northern Ireland, wheras this datset includes all businesses operating in Northern Ireland. back to Contents list of indicators

Notes

The Northern Ireland Annual Business Inquiry (NIABI) collects both financial and employment information from businesses and other establishments and covers about two thirds of the economy. This includes the Production, Construction, Distribution and Service industries in Northern Ireland but excludes public sector activity for the most part. Published estimates include the total value of sales and work completed by businesses (turnover), the value of the purchase of goods, materials and services, approximate Gross Value Added at basic prices and employment. These estimates are disaggregated at both industry and geographic level, providing users with an insight into the size and evolution of the Northern Ireland business economy as well as a measure of the contribution made by different industry sectors and geographic areas. back to Contents list of indicators

Notes Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE): Weekly gross pay by full-time / part-time and gender by Local Government District 2014, Local Government District, Assembly Area and Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics 3 (NUTS3). Gross Weekly Pay of employees on adult rates whose pay for the survey pay-period was not affected by absence. All numbers that are too small to provide a reliable estimate have been replaced with *. The survey information is related to the pay-week (or other pay-period if the employee was paid less frequently) which was in April, and to employees on adult rates whose pay for the survey pay-period was not affected by absence. The results are therefore not necessarily representative of pay over a longer period. They do not take account of subsequent changes in rates of pay, which have become effective since April or changes that have been introduced with retrospective effect since the survey returns were completed. The Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) is a UK wide survey that provides a wide range of information on earnings and hours worked. The mean measures the average amount earned by individuals but in a skew distribution such as earnings this measure is susceptible to small numbers of very high earners. The median measures the amount earned by the average individual i.e. the level of earnings above which half the population fall. ASHE is a sample survey and uses Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) PAYE system as the main sampling frame. The sample has also been widened to include employees who start or change jobs within the survey reference period. In 2006, ONS introduced a small number of methodological changes (to the sample design) to improve the quality of the results. The ASHE results since 2006 are therefore discontinuous with earlier results. From 2011, ASHE has changed from using SOC2000 to SOC2010 occupation codes. Since the SOC forms part of the methodology by which ASHE data are weighted to produce estimates for NI, this has caused a further discontinuity in the ASHE time series. Therefore, results since 2011 are not directly comparable to earlier results. back to Contents list of indicators

No single summary measure is favoured over another, as there is no single best way of describing or comparing LGDs or AAs. Population estimates used in the NIMDM 2010 are the 2008 small area population estimates. LGD 2014 summary measures are aggregated from 2001 SOA Northern Ireland Multiple Deprivation Measure 2010 results. All 2001 SOAs have been assigned to the new LGD 2014 based on January 2013 Pointer and the new LGD 2014 boundaries provided by Land & Property Services. Where SOAs cross two or more LGDs 2014, the LGD 2014 where the greatest share of the SOA Pointer properties nest, is assigned as the main LGD 2014. back to Contents list of indicators

Notes

Youth Justice Agency workload data are compiled from information entered onto the Youth Justice Agency's recording system. The data are presented on a financial year basis (e.g. 2008 data refers to the 2008/09 financial year). The data are extracted and merged with the Central Postcode Directory (CPD) and aggregated information forwarded to NINIS. Statistics are produced using two methods. The first method looks at the workload of the Youth Justice Agency. Workload statistics for Custodial Services measure the number of transactions (admissions and status changes) within Woodlands Juvenile Justice Centre (JJC), whilst workload statistics for Youth Justice Services (YJS) measure the number of referrals received. A second method has been developed to look specifically at the number of individual young people involved with the Youth Justice Agency on an annual basis. A young person is counted on their first involvement with each individual business area, YJS and JJC, within the given year. Therefore each young person will only be counted once within each of the two business areas, in any given financial year. For example, a young person who has been in contact with both Custodial Services and Youth Justice Services in 2013/14 will be counted once in the Custodial Services statistics and once in the YJS statistics for 2013/14. back to Contents list of indicators

Notes

Data from the Labour Force Survey from January-December of 2013. The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is the largest regular household survey carried out in Northern Ireland, with responses obtained from approximately 2,000 households and 5,700 individuals each quarter. While these quarterly datasets permit quite detailed analysis of the labour market at Northern Ireland level, sub-Northern Ireland analysis is often hindered by the relatively small sample numbers. In order to enhance the utility of the survey data collected, a series of LFS annual databases have been developed which contain 60% more records than are found in each quarterly database. These permit more extensive sub-regional analysis and a series of tables are published in the Local Area Database. back to Contents list of indicators

Notes

Repossession is where a court order has been granted ordering a debtor to hand back a property to a creditor where the property was either used as collateral [for a mortgage or loan or an unsecured debt or loan which has been secured by an order charging land] or rented or leased in a previous contract between the creditor and the debtor. The court order can be made by the High Court (for mortgage repossessions), the County Court (for ejectment cases where a property has been rented) or the Magistrates Court (involving squatter cases). If the debtor fails to obey the terms of the court order, the creditor may apply to the Enforcement of Judgments Office (EJO) to enforce it. Physical repossession occurs when the EJO remove all persons in occupation of the property and their goods. In some occasions, repossession also occurs when there are no persons in occupation of the property and there are no goods removed. Repossession is recorded as completed when all persons in occupation of the property have been removed and their goods removed and the property is handed over to the creditor. Repossession is also recorded as completed if there are no persons and or goods to remove and the property is handed over to the creditor. For the majority of cases, repossession will relate to a single property, but a court order can sometimes refer to more than one property. Property that can be repossessed include private dwellings or business premises that are either leased, rented or owner occupied. It can also relate to a piece of land that contains no dwellings such as agricultural land or wasteland.

Property tenures that can be repossessed are those that are rented from a social housing authority or landlord (such as the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, or a Housing Association), those that are rented or leased from a private landlord, owner occupied properties that have a mortgage or secured loan registered against their property or properties that have a debt secured by way of an order charging land. Rented properties are repossessed by way of an ejectment order obtained at the County Court, with mortgaged properties repossessed by way of a mortgage possession order obtained at the High Court. On occasions, an order may be sought from the Magistrates' Court to repossess a property inhabited by a squatter. The postcode recorded for each repossession refers to the correspondence address of the person to whom enforcement has been sought. This is not always the address of the property to be repossessed as the property may not have a postal address [if it is a piece of land] or it may relate to the correspondence address of a landlord or a second home. A slight change to the methodology used to generate these data occurred during the period of this series. From 2007 to March 2014, the EJO have used the same methodology for recording repossessions [based on the recorded ‘return date’ repossession case held by enforcement officers who manage a repossession case]. Since April 2014, a different methodology has been used [based upon the date the repossession was completed which is marked against a case file]. The change was made to make the methodology a more accurate reflection of the date the repossession was completed. back to Contents list of indicators

Information collected relates to gender, free school meals entitlement and pupils with special educational needs. The data refers to the residence of the pupils. The dataset is gathered annually at a specified date in early October. The dataset is collected from schools via the C2k administration system. The data goes through thorough validation checks before it is released. It is then merged with the CPD and aggregated information is checked and forwarded to NINIS. Statemented pupils are those pupils with a statement of special educational needs, i.e. pupils at stage 5 on the Special Educational Needs (SEN) Code of practice. Pupils at SEN stage 1 – 4 are those children assessed as being at stages 1 – 4 of the Special Educational Needs Code of Practice. The Education and Library Boards (ELBs) were dissolved on 31 March 2015. The Education Authority was established on 01 April 2015 and is now responsible for all of the operational functions previously carried out by the five ELBs in accordance with the Education Orders. back to Contents list of indicators

Notes

The figures presented have been generated as part of a research project that combined 3 recent years of DCAL modules in the Continuous Household Surveys (CHS) (2011/12, 2012/13 & 2013/14). DCAL places questions related to engagement in culture, arts and leisure (CAL) activities annually in the CHS. The CHS is a Northern Ireland wide annual household survey administered by Central Survey Unit, Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency. The methodologies of the three surveys were consistent, with each based on a random sample of 4,500 domestic addresses each year, drawn from the Land and Property Services list of addresses. Interviews were sought with all adults aged 16 and over in these households. These three years’ data from the CAL modules of the CHS were combined (pooled) together.

The Census collected information on the resident population of Northern Ireland on Census Day (27 March 2011). Questionnaires were delivered to every household and communal establishment and residents asked to complete and return with information as correct on Census Day. Special arrangements were made to enumerate special groups such as the Armed Forces. The Census Coverage Survey (an independent doorstep survey) followed between 9 May and 3 June 2011 and was used to adjust the Census counts for under-enumeration.

Notes

The Quality and Outcomes Framework is a system to remunerate general practices for providing good quality care to patients. It is a fundamental part of the General Medical Services contract introduced on 1st April 2004. The QOF measures achievement against a range of evidence-based indicators, with points and payments awarded according to the level of achievement. There are four main domains (clinical, public health, quality and productivity and patient experience). Disease prevalence data is used within the QOF to calculate points and payments within the clinical and public health domain areas. The aim of the prevalence adjustments is to deliver a more equitable distribution of payments in the light of different workloads that practices face in achieving the same number of quality points. A full set of QOF data tables and explanation of the QOF is available, along with definitions detailing which patients are included on each of the registers. The QOF data has been obtained from the Payment Calculation and Analysis System (PCAS). PCAS is a Northern Ireland IT system, which supports the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) payment process. Of the 14 QOF registers included in the disease prevalence data on NINIS, 6 clinical areas have maintained consistent definition since April 2004: asthma, cancer, CHD, COPD, hypertension and stroke & TIA. The definition of the diabetes, epilepsy and mental health registers changed slightly for 2006/07, and new registers were introduced: atrial fibrillation, chronic kidney disease, dementia, heart failure 1, heart failure 3, learning disabilities and obesity. In terms of diabetes, a small change was made with regard to the diagnosis codes which make patients eligible for the register. The definition of epilepsy was changed from patients aged 16+ to patients aged 18+ years. As of April 2006, the mental health register was redefined from ‘those with severe long-term mental health problems who require and have agreed to regular follow-up’ to ‘people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other psychoses’. From 2013/14, the mental health register has been expanded to include other patients on lithium therapy, the hypothyroid register now excludes patients not currently treated with levothyroxine, and the heart failure 3 register now only includes patients with heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Two new registers were introduced in 2012/13, osteoporosis and peripheral arterial disease, and a new rheumatoid arthritis register was introduced in 2013/14. Some registers recorded under QOF have been excluded from the data provided here as these do not actually measure disease prevalence, such as the conditions assessed for smoking register, which does not allow prevalence of smoking to be derived but rather whether of the smoking status of patients with certain conditions has been recorded. In 2014/15, the hypothyroidism, chronic kidney disease and conditions assessed for smoking registers were removed, and there was a change to the definition of the cardiovascular disease – primary prevention register. In 2015/16, the epilepsy, obesity, learning disabilities and peripheral arterial disease registers were removed from the framework. List sizes are recorded as at January of the relevant year, prevalence is recorded as at 31 March (From 2009, National Prevalence Day was changed from 14 February to 31 March to bring it in line with National QOF Achievement Day). The figures presented are as submitted to PCAS. There is no adjustment for known factors that might influence disease prevalence such as the age structure of practice populations. back to Contents list of indicators

Notes

The PSNI has adopted the definition of domestic abuse as outlined in the Northern Ireland Government Strategy ‘Stopping Domestic and Sexual Violence and Abuse in Northern Ireland’ as: ‘threatening, controlling, coercive behaviour, violence or abuse (psychological, virtual, physical, verbal, sexual, financial or emotional) inflicted on anyone (irrespective of age, ethnicity, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or any form of disability) by a current of former partner or family member’. The following will assist in the application of this definition: (a) ‘Incident’ means an incident anywhere and not confined to the home of one of the partners/family members; (b) ‘Family members’ include mother, father, son, daughter, brother, sister, grandparents, whether directly or indirectly related, in-laws or stepfamily. (c) ‘Intimate partners’ means there must have been a relationship with a degree of continuity and stability. The relationship must also have had (or reasonably supposed to have had) a sexual aspect, such as in the relationship between husband and wife or between others generally recognised as a couple including same sex couples. A crime will be recorded as domestic abuse where it meets the definition provided above. Not all domestic abuse incidents will result in the recording of a crime, as what has occurred in the incident may not be of the level of severity that would result in a notifiable offence being recorded. Where crimes with a domestic abuse motivation are recorded they are classified according to the Home Office Counting Rules and form a subset of the overall police recorded crime statistics. Further details of the background and recording practice in relation to police recorded crime statistics are available in the User Guide to Police Recorded Crime Statistics. An explanation of what constitutes an incident and a crime is provided in Section 2.1 of this guide, while reference to domestic abuse motivated incidents and crimes is available in Section 5. These recording practices, methods of counting outcomes and allocation of crime types apply equally to crimes with a domestic abuse motivation. Incidents and crimes are based on the date of report to police with the location being where the offence occurred (in other words the location of the offender at the time they committed the offence or, if this is unknown, the location of the victim). From 1st April 2015 Action Fraud has taken responsibility for the central recording of fraud offences previously recorded by PSNI; Action Fraud became responsible for all such reports in England & Wales by 1st April 2014. Action Fraud is the UK’s National Reporting Centre for fraud and internet crime reported directly to them from the public and other organisations. While this means that these fraud offences are no longer recorded by PSNI, Action Fraud figures relating to victims residing in Northern Ireland are provided to PSNI on a monthly basis. The Action Fraud figures do not separately identify those offences with a domestic abuse motivation and therefore all domestic abuse motivated crime figures in the data series provided exclude fraud. The number of domestic abuse crimes recorded in each financial year 2004/05 to 2014/15 and classified to fraud were as follows: 2004/05 - 9, 2005/06 - 9, 2006/07 - 16, 2007/08 - 8, 2008/09 - 14, 2009/10 - 24, 2010/11 - 23, 2011/12 - 31, 2012/13 - 52, 2013/14 - 64, 2014/15 - 70. back to Contents list of indicators

Notes

Hate crime is defined as any criminal offence which is perceived, by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by hostility or prejudice towards someone based on a personal characteristic. PSNI also use the principles of this definition to record non-crime hate incidents. A crime will be recorded as having a hate motivation where it meets the relevant definition. Not all hate motivated incidents will result in the recording of a crime, as what has occurred in the incident may not be of the level of severity that would result in a notifiable offence being recorded. Where crimes with a hate motivation are recorded they are classified according to the Home Office Counting Rules and form a subset of the overall police recorded crime statistics. Further details of the background and recording practice in relation to police recorded crime statistics are available in the User Guide to Police Recorded Crime Statistics. An explanation of what constitutes an incident and a crime is provided in Section 2.1 of this guide, while reference to hate motivated incidents and crimes is available in Section 6. These recording practices, methods of counting outcomes and allocation of crime types apply equally to crimes with a hate motivation. The following strands of hate motivation that available on NINIS; Race, Homophobia (sexual orientation) and Sectarianism. Race: A racial group can be defined as a group of persons defined by reference to race, colour, nationality or ethnic or national origins (this includes UK National origins i.e. Scottish, English, Welsh and Irish) and references to a person’s racial group refer to any racial group into which he/she falls. Racial group includes the Irish Traveller community. Homophobia (sexual orientation): Homophobia can be defined as a fear or dislike directed towards lesbian, gay or bisexual people, or a fear or dislike directed towards their perceived lifestyle, culture or characteristics. Sexual orientation can be defined as an individual’s preference for a particular sex (be it the opposite or the same), or an individual’s view of their own sexuality. Sectarianism: The term ‘sectarian’, whilst not clearly defined, is a term almost exclusively used in Northern Ireland to describe incidents of bigoted dislike or hatred of members of a different religious or political group. It is broadly accepted that within the Northern Ireland context an individual or group must be perceived to be Catholic or Protestant, Nationalist or Unionist, or Loyalist or Republican. However sectarianism can also relate to other religious denominations, for example, Sunni and Shi’ite in Islam. The Perception Test: Evidence is not the test when reporting a hate incident; when an incident or crime has been reported to police by the victim or by any other person and they perceive it as being motivated by prejudice or hate, it will be recorded and investigated as a hate incident or crime. The perception of the victim, or any other person is the defining factor in determining whether an incident is a hate incident, or in recognising the hostility element of a hate crime. Perception-based recording refers to the perception of the victim, or any other person. It would not be appropriate to record a crime or incident as a hate crime or hate incident if it was based on the perception of a person or group who had no knowledge of the victim, crime or the area, and who may be responding to media or internet stories or who are reporting for a political or similar motive. The other person could, however, be one of a number of people, including: police officers or staff; witnesses; family members; civil society organisations who know details of the victim, the crime or hate crimes in the locality, such as a third-party reporting charity; a carer or other professional who supports the victim; someone who has knowledge of hate crime in the area – this could include many professionals and experts such as the manager of an education centre used by people with learning disabilities who regularly receives reports of abuse from students; a person from within the group targeted with the hostility, eg, a Traveller who witnessed racist damage in a local park. Incidents and crimes are based on the date of report to police with the location being where the offence occurred (in other words the location of the offender at the time they committed the offence or, if this is unknown, the location of the victim). From 1st April 2015 Action Fraud has taken responsibility for the central recording of fraud offences previously recorded by PSNI; Action Fraud became responsible for all such reports in England & Wales by 1st April 2014.

The number of participants is as at 31st October 2016. The data was extracted from the Department’s Client Management System on 27th January 2017. A participant is defined for statistical purposes as an individual on Training for Success. An individual can participate on Training for Success more than once. Option not assigned includes those participants for whom Option has not been recorded by the Supplier. This is most likely due to the fact that the participant has not been on programme long enough to complete the initial 12 week assessment period and establish which Option they should be on.

Average primary school class size (year 1-7). The information is collected through the annual school census exercise. Returns are provided from each school. The data refers to the location of the school. The dataset is gathered annually at a specified date in early October. The dataset is collected from schools via the C2k administration system. The data goes through thorough validation checks before it is released. It is then merged with the CPD and aggregated information is checked and forwarded to NINIS. Data excludes learning support centre classes. Any composite classes including reception pupils have been included, but the class size excludes reception pupils. The Education and Library Boards (ELBs) were dissolved on 31 March 2015. The Education Authority was established on 01 April 2015 and is now responsible for all of the operational functions previously carried out by the five ELBs in accordance with the Education Orders. back to Contents list of indicators

Notes

The Northern Ireland Business Register and Employment Survey (BRES) and Census of Employment are alternating biennial surveys, conducted every two years, of employers in Northern Ireland. Results are available according to sex, full or part-time working, industrial activity based on the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC2007) and location, subject to confidentiality constraints. Results of the BRES are comparable with the Census of Employment results. The Census of Employment covers employee jobs only. It excludes agriculture (but includes animal husbandry service activities and hunting, trapping and game propagation), self employed, HM Armed Forces, private domestic servants, homeworkers, Jobskills trainees without a contract of employment (non-employed status). Figures for the number of employees in Agriculture are available separately from the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) Farm Census. Persons working 30 hours or less per week are regarded as being in part-time employment. The surveys count the number of jobs rather than the number of persons with jobs. Therefore a person holding both a full- time and a part-time job, or someone with two part-time jobs, will be counted twice. The methodology was changed in 2009, and for 2009 only the survey was ran on both the old and new basis, and data at LGD level for 2009 is listed at both the old and new basis. For data in 2011 and onwards the new methodology is used and is referred to as new basis. back to Contents list of indicators

Notes

The Inter Departmental Business Register (IDBR) is a UK register and contains information on businesses which are registered for VAT or operating a PAYE scheme. The data is at March of each year. The IDBR covers most of the economy including the Agriculture, Production and Service sectors in Northern Ireland. It does not however include very small businesses which are not VAT registered unless they operate a PAYE scheme. This means that many self-employed workers will not be included in these counts. The Northern Ireland figures include all VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses operating in Northern Ireland (even if the business' main or registered UK address is elsewhere in the UK). Businesses are assigned to geographies within Northern Ireland based on the address of the site which reports Northern Ireland activity. This is usually the main operating site or ‘head office’ within Northern Ireland. In a small number of cases the site which reports Northern Ireland activity is outside Northern Ireland (for example in the Republic of Ireland) but the registered UK address (or Enterprise address) is in Northern Ireland; in this case the Enterprise address is used to assign the business to a geographical location. This has only been possible for 2012 and 2013 as the Enterprise address was not included on earlier extracts. If both addresses are outside Northern Ireland (for example in England, Scotland or Wales) the geographical location of the business within Northern Ireland is unknown. The former dataset "VAT and or PAYE registered businesses" included only those businesses with their registered (or main) UK address in Northern Ireland, wheras this datset includes all businesses operating in Northern Ireland. back to Contents list of indicators

Notes

The information is aggregated data sourced from Invest NI administrative datasets. It represents the total amount of assistance offered to companies by Invest NI over the time period and the total planned investment related to these projects. The assistance/investment datasets are updated by letter of offer reports. Total offer locations exceed total number of offers, as some projects are located in more than one area. Data are shown by financial year i.e. 2012 represents the financial year 2012/13. Parliamentary Constituency Areas and District Council Areas have been revised in line with the updated boundaries. Invest NI revises performance data on a regular basis to ensure that it reflects implemented projects; therefore, the data may differ to previously published information. Planned Investment includes Assistance Offered. Jobs Promoted represent the number of jobs expected to be created by the project. Jobs Safeguarded represent the number of jobs that would have been lost if the project was not supported. These figures include both projects that are specifically aimed at job creation and projects that are not; therefore, job numbers do not directly correlate with the assistance and investment figures included in this table. back to Contents list of indicators

Notes

Figures are derived from the Northern Ireland Passenger Survey (NIPS) conducted by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA), the Survey of Overseas Travellers (SOT) conducted on behalf of Fáilte Ireland, the Household Travel Survey (HTS) conducted by Central Statistics Office (CSO) and the Northern Ireland Continuous Household Survey (CHS) conducted by NISRA. All surveys are based on sample surveys and therefore have an associated degree of sampling error. Information on confidence intervals where these are available and sample sizes are provided in the background notes. NISRA uses the Survey of Overseas Travellers run by Fáilte Ireland to gain information on the overnight trips to Northern Ireland who exit through Republic of Ireland ports. Limited information on Northern Ireland overnight trips is also now collected through a separate survey carried out by Central Statistics Office Ireland. NISRA is undertaking research to assess how the two sources could be used together in the future. NISRA uses the Northern Ireland Passenger Survey to apportion the Survey of Overseas Travellers by Local Government District. Similarly, it uses the Continuous Household Survey to apportion the Household Travel Survey results (the HTS is carried out by Central Statistics Office to gather information on Republic of Ireland residents who overnight in Northern Ireland). Due to the nature of household surveys in Northern Ireland, users should be aware that statistics on overnight trips in Northern Ireland of Northern Ireland residents aged under 16 are excluded. Please note: The 2014 Northern Ireland tourism statistics showed there were 4.5 million overnight trips, this figure is lower than the ‘all LGD’ total (4.6 million). The LGD figure is higher as someone may spend time in various locations during the one overnight trip to NI. For example, if someone stayed two nights in Belfast followed by three nights in the Causeway Coast and Glens, this would be counted as one trip to Northern Ireland in the annual estimates and one trip to Belfast and one to Causeway Coast and Glens (two trips) in the LGD breakdown.
