Listening to disabled young people
What constitutes good well-being for disabled young people differs little from that of their non-disabled peers but what is different, argues Grace Kelly, is the high reliance on family/carers for facilitating opportunities for these young people to take part in activities and engage socially with their peers. Drawing on conversations with disabled adolescents, ‘Improving the Well-being of Disabled Young People’ sets out key messages to inform policy.

Community engagement project in Northern Ireland
As part of the PSE UK team's commitment to encouraging public engagement, stimulating debate and informing policy, the team sought to develop new approaches to engaging with grassroots lobbying groups, community practitioners and people directly affected by poverty and social exclusion. In collaboration with the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland a pilot project was run with eight local community groups across Northern Ireland. The final report of the project's impact, 'We are sitting with the big people now', details the empowering impact this project had on the people involved. Further details can be found under Communities in Action including the videos and other outputs of the community groups involved.Category: PSE Report -

Methods
As part of our commitment to public engagement, the PSE has sought to create a model or process to connect low income communities with PSE research, to amplify their voices by linking their local experiences to a national research project and to share their findings via digital media tools, such as the PSE website.
This working paper describes an experimental collaboration between members of the Poverty and Social Exclusion project (PSE), the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland (CFNI) and communities from some of the most deprived wards in Northern Ireland taking part in CFNI's Communities in Action programme.

PSE NI 2012: Attitudes to necessities and services questionnaire
This annotated questionnaire gives top level results on a range of items and activities people in Northern Ireland feel are necessities and those thought desirable but not necessary. Items and activities for adults and, separately those for children are covered.
A programming error resulted in higher than expected amounts of missing data which appears to consist mainly of unrecorded Don't Know responses. Rigorous testing found no additional biases and the missing data and don't knows are excluded from the analysis, as is the normal practice with these kind of analyses. See Statistical Briefing Note 2.
