THE PROJECT
The Northcote Child and Youth Development Project is a collaborative project to support children and young people in the Northcote community.  The project’s aim is to improve social, economic, environmental and cultural outcomes for children and young people by improving services and support with a focus on:

• Learning what works best at community level
• Looking at the needs of children at different stages of development
• Using research and best practice to inform future decisions
• Increasing the participation of children and young people in decisions that affect them.

North Shore City Council, the Ministry of Social Development and HNZC Community Renewal Project are working together in partnership with the Northcote community, children, young people and their families and a wide range of government and community agencies on this project.

The Northcote Child and Youth Development Project is part of the Auckland Sustainable Cities Programme.

Statistical Profile

The Statistical Profile provides a snapshot of what is happening to children, young people and their families in Northcote and the environment in which children and young people in Northcote are being raised.  It was used as a starting point for project development and discussions.

The Profile contains a collection of statistics and commentary from key informants to provide local context. The Profile can be used as a tool for planning and delivering future services in the Northcote community to support children and young people within the context of their families.

Methodology and Learning Report

This report outlines the methodology for producing the Statistical Profile of Northcote and the Northcote Database of organisations and agencies providing services to children, young people and their families in the Northcote area. 

The report clarifies the process to enable better planning and implementation of similar profiling projects in other communities.

The report is divided into two main sections and covers the Northcote Statistical Profile and the Northcote database. Within each section, the methodology is described, successes and pitfalls are identified and recommendations are made to assist those undertaking future projects.
