Campion Criteria • The aim of the award is to recognise outstanding innovations or developments that improve the service to users. Nominations will demonstrate one or more of the following criteria: • An excellent demonstration of gathering information on the requirements of a range of users, and using this information to develop new statistics, shape outputs or influence policy; • Excellent or innovative communication of results in a way or ways that are clear, helpful and accessible to a wide array of users; • Innovative statistical development including but not restricted to the use of existing administrative data (either public or private) to respond to unmet needs, to replace more expensive processes, or to improve statistical accuracy; • Examples of innovative use of data in support of public policy.
Background • Spatial deprivation measures have been used in Northern Ireland since the 1970s • Most recent suite released in 2017 – update of 2010 measures • Play a pivotal role in both informing the targeting of resources to the most deprived areas in Northern Ireland and the monitoring of the spatial impact of policy interventions.
Deprivation measures in the UK and Ireland Same methodology in England, Wales & Scotland: Results from 4 countries are not comparable Indicators from administrative sources Domains Index of Multiple Deprivation (ranking) Pobal HP index (Ireland): From disadvantaged to affluent Indicators from Census • 3 dimensions • Relative Index Score
Combination into Multiple Deprivation Measure NI MULTIPLE DEPRIVATION MEASURE 2017 Income Deprivation (25%) Health Deprivation & Disability (15%) Education, Skills & Training (15%) Living Environment (5%) Employment Deprivation (25%) Access to Services (10%) Crime & Disorder (5%)
Commissioning - 2015 Mr Irwin concluded: “We did find issues around how rural deprivation is currently measured. It is important to note that unlike urban areas which are usually socially segregated, rural deprivation is spatial, with the relatively affluent often living alongside the most deprived. We are therefore calling on DARD to work with the Department for Finance and Personnel (DFP) to commission the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) to review how we measure and identify rural deprivation.”
User Issues – Engagement Strategy Users often focused solely on the 10% most deprived super output areas according to the Multiple Deprivation Measure Domain Domain Not understood Multiple Deprivation Measure Income Deprivation Crime & Disorder Living Environment Employment Deprivation Domain Domain Misused/ under-utilised Not accepted Access to Services Deprivation Health Deprivation & Disability Education, Skills & Training Deprivation Domain Domain Domain
