  1. Revision, June 2012 The Irish Deprivation MeasuresApplications and Outlook

  2. Key Areas of Application

  3. Local Community Development Programme • Originally designation of most disadvantaged areas under the PESP • 2008 cohesion (amalgamation of LDSIP with LEADER) and alignment with LA boundaries • Now emphasis on delivering actions to most disadvantaged communities within each LA http://maps.pobal.ie/#/map

  4. RAPID • Originally designated on basis of ED-level deprivation scores • Then combination of EDs and EAs • Now designation using new SAs

  5. RAPID • Designation at below 1 STD (deprivation score below -10 = disadvantaged)

  6. Childcare Initiatives • Mapping out of almost 4,400 childcare initiatives across the country • Targeting of childcare supports towards most disadvantaged communities

  7. Family Resource Centres • 107 Family Resource Centres (FRCs) throughout Ireland • Supported through Family Support Agency • Aimed at supporting disadvantaged communities

  8. County Development Plans • Only 10 years ago, most county development plans where exclusively dealing with the built environment • Now designated chapters on population in most county development plans • Generally making explicit reference to Irish deprivation measures

  9. Local Area Initiatives in Comparison, 1991-2006

  16. Educational Disadvantage The Department for Education (UK) calculates the level of school deprivation from the numbers of children living in families in each Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) who receive tax credits. However, as below figures show, not taking into account the selective nature of school intakes may lead to misleading specification. http://www.significancemagazine.org/details/webexclusive/1311633/School-funding-and-deprivation.html

  17. Growing-up in Ireland Significant Influences on Child and Parental Well-being Pratschke, Haase and McKeown, 2011 http://trutzhaase.eu/wp/wp-content/uploads/R-2011-Well-being-and-the-Family-System.ppt

  18. Environmental Impact Assessment Is particulate air pollution associated with health and health inequalities in New Zealand? Richardsona, Pearcea and Kinghamb, 2011 “We found a clear socioeconomic gradient in respiratory disease mortality (Fig. 2). At each level of PM10 exposure, risk of respiratory disease mortality increased with increasing socioeconomic deprivation, after control for relevant individual- and area-level covariates. We found significant inequality, with the most deprived CAUs having over 1.7 times the risk of respiratory disease mortality than the most affluent areas.”

  21. Resource Allocation Models The 2009 Resource Allocation Model introduced a new formula to take account of the extension of the programme which, after the conclusion of the cohesion process, now covers all 32 Local Authority Areas. Given the new unified structures and additional constraints arising from the tighter budgetary situation since the coming to an end of the economic boom, it is now felt that the allocations made under the LCDP should take into account other allocations made to the same areas, specifically those under the LEADER and Local Employment Services (LES) programmes. Haase, T. Technical Note on the 2011 RAM for the LCDP, Pobal, 2011 “A central problem in the health service generally and children’s services in particular is the lack of a Resource Allocation Model (RAM). Having a RAM is important, for it determines what human and financial resources should be allocated and where according to objective criteria designed to meet measured need.” Harvey, B. A Way Forward for Delivering Children’s Services, Barnardos, March 2011 “The question posed by the study was: „Given the national spend on the health services, and existing allocation between services, how should the budget for each service be divided between PCCC areas in order to support access to services in rough proportion to the need for these services in each area?' The current system does not allocate resources in a way that addresses this question. Staines, A. et al.
