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.

Welcome to Issue 129 of our fortnightly newsletter, ‘FYI’ (For Your Information).
(Note: Newsletter will download directly to your device. Look out for the pop-up box and click on open file when it appears)
We start this edition with a request to any of our Locality Planning Group members to complete a short survey to confirm your continued interest in receiving relevant correspondence. By members, we mean anyone who has attended one of our meetings. The survey on Page 3 is also open to anyone who would like to receive notifications about our meetings and relevant papers & info.
This is one of 2 editions of ‘FYI’ which will circulate throughout the Summer. Our next edition is on Thursday 8th August, so please bear this in mind when sharing any of your flyers and information.
We hope you enjoy your summer and get a chance to have a well-earned break!
