So, Summer has come and gone, in the blink of an eye! Back to school and we hope we have been able to reflect just some of the support and opportunities available for children, young people and their parents/carers.

Our Locality Planning Groups have resumed meeting this morning (5th September) in Armagh and will operate at full speed throughout the rest of the year. We welcome anyone working or volunteering to improve outcomes for children & young people and we’ll be delighted to tell you more, if you are interested.  Dates for the next meetings are on the second last page, as always.

 See you later in September!

This is our second largest ever edition of ‘FYI’, so thank you so much for submitting so much great information and keep it coming! We keep submissions in ‘FY’I for one edition, unless requested, so please let us know if you want to avail of this opportunity.

We are delighted to include our Action Plan Report on Page 3 which tells you how productive our Locality Planning Groups and our Team has been over the last 3 years. During this time, we were still experiencing the impact of COVID, so our outcomes have been remarkable in such challenging times.

Plenty of information – Why don’t you come to one of our Locality Planning Groups to see what more there is to offer in the Southern Area?! Contact us at localityplanning@ci-ni.org.uk for further information.

Southern Area FYI Feedback Survey Report Card

The 2024 FYI Scorecard Report is part of the Southern Area Locality Planning Team’s ongoing monitoring and evaluation of our fortnightly e-bulletin, ‘FYI’.

It follows on from the same evaluation completed in June 2022 which can be accessed HERE.

‘FYI’ was introduced in January 2019 as an innovative new way of sharing information on the work of services and organisations aiming to improve outcomes for children, young people and families in the Southern Area.

With the aim of strengthening contacts, participation, engagements and connections in the area, Southern Area LPG member organisations, as well as the wider community, are invited to submit flyers, posters and announcements promoting relevant events, opportunities, programmes and initiatives. This information is collated and shared via a one-stop-shop style newsletter… ‘FYI’ (For Your Information).

This fortnightly e-bulletin is circulated on alternate Thursday afternoons to all LPG members and contacts on our specific ‘FYI’ list, to the community, voluntary and statutory sectors as well as those who have signed up to receive ‘FYI’ (parents and caregivers). It is also widely promoted across various CYPSP and LPG member social media channels and e-mail circulars.

To sign up to receive ‘FYI’, or to find out more about our fortnightly newsletter, e-mail localityplanning@ci-ni.org.uk.
