Robust Evidence Base Establishing Baseline Position: 1. Collation of official statistics 2. Citizen Survey 2015 Questionnaire – 1400 households Focus Groups (including Section 75 groups)
Collation and interpretation of official data sources • A lot of these data are available for our local areas. • We want to compile them and see how the situation has changed in preceding years and set down a marker to help direct and assess the effectiveness of the Community Plan going forward. • Work with stakeholders to fully understand what the data are telling us in the light of local knowledge. This collation of data is only one part of the process. •
Citi-scope Survey and Citizen Survey Citi-scope survey 2009 and 2012 Underlying Principles: • Inclusivity Openness • • Transparency • Strong stakeholder involvement • Best Practice Apply these principals to 2015 Citizen survey across the new Derry City • and Strabane District Council area
2015 Citizen Survey • Citizen Survey in early 2015. • 1,400 households, randomly selected across the new Council area. Recruitment of enumerators – community based approach – training and • capacity building – long term positive impact. • Survey will ask questions not necessarily collected by official sources. • An attempt to ‘fill in the gaps’.
