As part of the review, the research team thoroughly Unauthorised reproduction infringes Crown copyright and examined the Northern Ireland Multiple Deprivation Measure 2001 (NI MDM 2001) and addressed many of may lead to prosecution or civil proceedings. the issues raised in the document and those arising from its publication. A consultation document was produced proposing the design of the new NI Multiple Deprivation Measure 2005 (NI MDM 2005). This document was released for consultation in July 2004 and the consultation period closed at the end of October 2004. As part of the consultation process a series of public meetings took place across Northern Ireland, to which almost 300 participants attended. In addition, over 5,500 consultation documents were sent out or downloaded from the NISRA website. The consultation process is detailed in Appendix 1. The verbal and written responses to the consultation fed into the final proposals for the NI MDM 2005 produced as a blueprint by the research team in January 2005. This report presents the domains and indicators for the new Multiple Deprivation Measure and discusses a number of the issues raised in consultation. It sets out the methodology for combining the indicators into domain measures of deprivation, and for combining the domains into an overall Multiple Deprivation Measure. The report describes the results and presents thematic maps of the various measures that make up the NI MDM 2005. In the process of the research it became apparent that there are a number of areas where there is either a paucity of useful data which needs to be addressed, or areas where important further research should be undertaken. These are highlighted throughout the report. 4 Chapter 1: Measuring Multiple based measures. However, limitations of data availability inevitably cause some of the sophistication of his original Deprivation at the Small Area concept to be lost in practice. Level: a Conceptual Framework At an area level it is very difficult to measure the percentage of the population experiencing deprivation on one, two or The Northern Ireland Multiple Deprivation Measure 2005 more domains. It is possible to look at single forms of (NI MDM 2005) is a measure of multiple deprivation at the deprivation at an area level and state that a certain 1 small area level . The model of multiple deprivation which proportion of the population experiences that deprivation or a proportion experiences some other forms of underpins the NI MDM 2005 is based on the idea of distinct deprivation and describe at an area level the combination domains of deprivation which can be recognised and of single deprivations as area level multiple deprivation. measured separately. These are experienced by individuals living in an area.
