(AQW 31463/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness (The First Minister and deputy First Minister): The Strategy Planning and Review Group (SPRG) was set up in 2008 with a remit ■ to review the 2008-11 Action Plan under the Children and Young People’s Strategy and to make recommendations taking into account feedback from the Children’s Champions Group; Parents’ Advisory Group; Research and Information Group; and Practitioners; ■ to link the regional and area Children’s Services Plans to the Strategy Action Plan; ■ to monitor progress on delivery of the strategy action plan; and ■ to submit review reports to the Ministerial sub-committee on children and young people. Membership of the SPRG included senior representatives of statutory, community and voluntary sector organisations and government departments including the Northern Ireland Office and Northern Ireland Courts Service. The Departmental representatives were drawn from the Children and Young People’s Inter-departmental Group (IDG) which was set up to oversee the development of the Strategy. The SPRG met on four occasions during the lifetime of the 2008-11 Action Plan, on 10 September 2008, 11 November 2008, 24 March 2009 and 30 November 2010. Junior Ministers attended and chaired all of these meetings. OFMDFM continued to monitor progress on the actions in the Plan up until the end of the Plan in April 2011. Since then, delivery on the Children and Young People’s Strategy has been taken forward under the auspices of the Delivering Social Change (DSC) framework. Progress on the framework is monitored and overseen by DSC Programme Board which reports to the Ministerial Sub-Committee on Children and Young People and the Executive Sub-Committee on Poverty and Social Inclusion Victims and Survivors Service: Scheme 6 Fund Mr Allister asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister why the Scheme 6 fund, under the Victims and Survivors Service, was closed to applications on 30 June 2013; and why those, who hitherto had been receiving financial assistance from the NI Memorial Fund and who transferred to Scheme 6, were included in the stoppage on applications. (AQW 32057/11-15) WA 245 Friday 18 April 2014 Written Answers Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: The application process for Financial Assistance Scheme 6 was closed on 30 June 2013 due to budgetary pressures. It is not unusual to have time limited application periods. All those successful applicants continued to receive financial support. Owing to significant demand, we sought additional resources and were able to extend the Scheme to all remaining applicants. Ethnic Minorities Mr Lyttle asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister what work they have undertaken to assess the extent of ethnic minority poverty further to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation Report on Poverty and Ethnicity finding in February 2013 that ‘the precise household circumstances and relative extent of poverty among minority ethnic groups in Northern Ireland are unknown. (AQW 32105/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: We acknowledge the significant gaps in the knowledge base that have been highlighted by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation report. We are, of course, not unique in this. Joseph Rowntree Foundation’s publication Poverty and ethnicity: A review of evidence (May 2011) refers to “weaknesses in the evidence relating to Scotland,

  • Extended Schools Programme Annual Report 2012/13
    Extended Schools Programme Annual Report 2012/13 1 CONTENTS PAGE Page number Extended Schools’ background 3 1 Purpose and context 4 2 Methodology 6 3 Summary of main findings from 2012-13 8 4 Partnership working 12 5 Indicators of effective practice in Extended Schools 15 6 Evaluation and key recommendations 22 Appendices (i) Evidence of positive outcomes of the Extended 28 Schools Programme – Case Study Examples (ii) ELB Clusters 47 (iii) Extended Schools External Providers 62 2 EXTENDED SCHOOLS’ BACKGROUND The Extended Schools’ Programme in Northern Ireland has been an integral component of the Department of Education’s vision to ensure that every learner fulfils his or her full potential since 2006. The programme enables schools to target school improvement strategies which influence the families and communities that surround them so that a more holistic approach can be taken to improved achievement and attainment for children and young people at every stage of their development. The origins of the Extended Schools’ programme can be traced to the ‘Every Child Matters’ (ECM) agenda, which in Northern Ireland became the ‘Our Children, Our Young People, Our Pledge’ strategy which was co-ordinated by the Office of the First Minister and the Deputy First Minister, (OFMDFM). The aim of the strategy as launched by the Secretary of State in March 2006 was: To reduce underachievement and improve the life chances of children and young people by enhancing their educational development and fostering health, well-being and social inclusion through the integrated delivery of the support and services necessary to ensure every child has the best start in life.

  • Local Growth Plan to Be Reviewed in 2023
    Sperrin Local Growth Plan To be reviewed in 2023 SEPTEMBER 2019 Sperrin Local Growth Plan Introduction & Welcome Community Planning is a process led by Derry City & Strabane District Council in conjunction with partners and communities to develop and implement a shared, long-term vision to improve the social, economic and environmental well-being of the Derry City & Strabane District area. It will also guide how our public services will work together locally to plan and deliver better services. Derry City & Strabane District Council adopted a significant co-design process to develop the Strategic Growth Plan for the Derry & Strabane District. This included engaging with statutory organisations, business, community and voluntary organisations and interested citizens to agree the way in which the plan should be developed. There are 3 Pillars: • Social Well-being – to improve the quality of life of all our people now and in the future • Economic Well-being – to grow and sustain our economy to create more and better employment opportunities for everyone • Environmental Well-being – to live in a low carbon, sustainably designed and connected region 8 Local Growth Plans have been developed for Strabane Town and the 7 District Electoral Areas (Ballyarnett, Derg, Faughan, Foyleside, Sperrin, The Moor and Waterside). Extensive consultation has been carried out in each of the local community planning areas with 48 workshops held over the 2016 – 2017 period. The local community growth plans will feed into the overarching Strategic Growth Plan and their key purpose will be to develop local actions to address local needs. ‘Cluster Village Plans’ have also been developed across the Council area, to cover all 49 rural settlements, as part of the NI Rural Development Programme 2014-2020.
