Based on the outcomes of the women’s leadership event in March 2018, these events will develop the leadership capacity of female school leaders in controlled schools.
The importance of meeting the needs of children and young people within controlled schools is critical, forming part of a whole school ethos.
The launch of the findings of an organisational review of the implementation of Trauma Informed Approaches in Northern Ireland took place recently on 22 February and contains crucial research commissioned by the Safeguarding Board for Northern Ireland and carried out by Queen’s University Belfast.
The following Excel Templates are the ‘powerhouse’ of CPT functionality. There are six templates, one for each county. Download the template for the county within which your school is located. Then, copy and paste data for LGD, DEA, SDZ and DZ geographies using CPT instructions. Northern Ireland and County level data have already been added to the Excel spreadsheet for your convenience. Percentage values will be calculated, and charts automatically generated for each of 12 variables, ready to copy and paste into MS Word or PowerPoint for sharing.
There are three main Community Profile prototypes: Community Profile, Sustainable Schools profile, and Community Reflection.
A Community Profile can be generated by following CPT instructions. It graphically shows data across six geographies (NI, County, LGD, DEA, SDZ, DZ) for each of 12 selected variables. A full worked example is demonstrated in the PowerPoint download.
A Sustainable Schools profile provides insight on Religion and School Age Population. This profile can be built with an ability to (i) identify Data Zones, (ii) refine local community by identifying and combining DZs within the school’s (current or potential) catchment area using school’s intelligence (ID Data Zones), and (iii) gather data (NISRA FTB). Creation of this profile uses the same instructions or skillset used to generate a community profile, but with an emphasis on refining the school’s local community by current or potential catchment area for a more tailored profile. Examples of the type of content that can be generated using this approach are shown for a Primary School, and Post-primary School with both urban and rural communities within the school’s catchment area.
Community Reflection uses school census data from Schools Plus on religion and compares with the ‘local community’ in a series of pie charts to determine the extent to which the school reflects its community. The comparator identifies ‘local community’ both in terms of the Data Zone within which the school is located, and catchment area, which is a combination of Data Zones (ID Data Zones). An example is shown in the Community Reflection download.
The CPT enables the generation of data and visuals for a range of education-specific applications. Take a look at the Applications Infographic for some ideas. If you would like to share with us how you have used the CPT, click here – we would love to hear about your experiences!
The testimonial section aims to provide a dynamic platform to share your experiences of the CPT, both as a resource and in its application. Just have a look at what some of your peers are saying about the CPT and profiles! Sharing your experiences can be a source of encouragement for others and a trigger for networking opportunities among peers. It also provides us with an opportunity to hear your views on how we could improve the CPT to best suit your needs. Just click here to have your say!
Additional reading on evidence and policy can be found here and will be updated with any new relevant research and policy as it becomes available.
These appendices have been included to support community profiling activity. Available geographies are described at a quantitative level in Appendix 1. Appendix 2 is designed to support navigation around NISRA’s flexible table builder in building the community profile, by defining the variables for selection. Appendix 3 embeds instructional videos on NISRA’s Flexible Table Builder (FTB) as a generic overview.
