Process So Far….

• July 2014 → c. 130 people attended a workshop on the introduction to

Community Planning.

• September 2014 → c. 130 attended a workshop on how we might go

about preparing a Community Plan.

• November 2014 → Community Plan Task and Finish Group
• Advise on evidence gathering methodology
• Consider an overall framework for a community plan and the process for

developing it

• Co-design the 3rd workshop for all stakeholders – February 2015
• November 2014 → Commence statistical baseline: Establishing the

evidence base

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’.
