The 2021 Census in Northern Ireland (NI) has the potential to identify numerous underrepresented, vulnerable, and disadvantaged groups within the NI population. Whether identified using individual census indicators, such as, the ethnicity indicator (ethnic minorities), the sexual orientation indicator (sexual minorities), the parental status indicator (single parents/mothers), the carer indicator (unpaid/child carers), or the thirteen-category health indicator (e.g. groups such as those with an intellectual disability, a mental health problem, wheelchair users etc.), this unique population data resource has the potential to make visible, and accessible, many of society's most vulnerable, in a way and at level, that few other data resources can. While census data has obvious advantages for academic researchers interested in studying vulnerable populations, few are better placed to leverage the data's full explanatory power than those who advocate, support, and actively care for these populations. Voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector organisations in NI are extremely well placed to know what to ask of this data and, more importantly, to realise the full potential of whatever the data reveals.Aim: In preparation for the release of the NI Census '21 data, researchers from Ulster University, Queen's University Belfast and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency, and representatives from NI's VCSE sector, aim to develop a suite of research engagement, awareness, and training workshops and resources, based exclusively on the NI Census '21, in order to stimulate meaningful collaboration between NI researchers and VCSE organisations nationwide.Objectives: Five work-packages (WPs) will deliver this aim. In WP1, the academic team will partner with selected VCSE organisations to demonstrate how census data can be used to (i) identify their target populations, (ii) profile their socio-demographic characteristics, (iii) understand their educational/employment needs/challenges, (iv) profile their (multi)morbidity, (v) describe their households, and (vi) geographically locate them. Via two 'flagship' projects, the team will develop training resources specifically designed to showcase and facilitate wider census-based research and academic-VCSE engagement and collaboration nationwide. In WP2, the team will invite other VCSE organisations to a series of Census '21 research awareness and engagement building workshops informed by the flagship studies and associated findings delivered in WP1. In WP3, using the methods and analyses developed from WP1, the team will host a series of data/analysis training workshops for academics across disciplines at UU and QUB to demonstrate how census and other administrative data in NI can be accessed and used to produce impactful, population-based research. In WP4 the team will host a "Census Hackathon", bringing together VCSE representatives from workshops in WP2 with 'census-ready' researchers from WP3. Finally, in WP5, the team will evaluate the entire programme, refresh training materials, and launch the first NI Census '21 academic-VCSE partnered project applications.We believe that this project will ensure that NI's most vulnerable can be seen and heard in the way they deserve to be, and that NI's VCSE sector can become more autonomous and self-sufficient in generating the evidence they need to continue the important work that they do for us all.

2021 年北爱尔兰 (NI) 人口普查有可能发现北爱尔兰人口中众多代表性不足、脆弱和弱势群体。是否使用个人人口普查指标来确定，例如种族指标（少数族裔）、性取向指标（性少数）、育儿状况指标（单亲父母/母亲）、照顾者指标（无薪/儿童照顾者）或十三类健康指标（例如智力障碍、心理健康问题、轮椅使用者等群体），这种独特的人口数据资源有可能使许多在某种程度上和水平上，很少有其他数据资源能够做到这一点。虽然人口普查数据对于有兴趣研究弱势群体的学术研究人员来说具有明显的优势，但很少有人比那些倡导、支持和积极关心这些群体的人更能充分利用数据的全部解释力。 NI 的志愿、社区和社会企业 (VCSE) 部门组织非常了解对这些数据的要求，更重要的是，了解数据所揭示的全部潜力。目标：为发布NI Census '21 数据、阿尔斯特大学、贝尔法斯特女王大学和北爱尔兰统计与研究机构的研究人员以及 NI VCSE 部门的代表旨在开发一套研究参与、意识和培训研讨会，完全基于 NI Census '21 的资源，以促进全国范围内的 NI 研究人员和 VCSE 组织之间有意义的合作。 目标：五个工作包 (WP) 将实现这一目标。在 WP1 中，学术团队将与选定的 VCSE 组织合作，展示如何使用人口普查数据来 (i) 确定其目标人群，(ii) 描述他们的社会人口特征，(iii) 了解他们的教育/就业需求/挑战，(iv) 描述他们的（多种）发病情况，(v) 描述他们的家庭，以及 (vi) 他们的地理位置。通过两个“旗舰”项目，该团队将开发专门设计的培训资源，以展示和促进全国范围内更广泛的基于人口普查的研究以及学术-VCSE 参与和合作。在 WP2 中，该团队将邀请其他 VCSE 组织参加一系列 21 年人口普查研究意识和参与建设研讨会，这些研讨会以 WP1 中提供的旗舰研究和相关发现为基础。在 WP3 中，团队将使用 WP1 开发的方法和分析，为 UU 和 QUB 的跨学科学者举办一系列数据/分析培训研讨会，以展示如何获取和使用 NI 的人口普查和其他行政数据来产生有影响力的结果。 ，基于人群的研究。在 WP4 中，该团队将举办一场“人口普查黑客马拉松”，将来自 WP2 研讨会的 VCSE 代表与来自 WP3 的“人口普查准备就绪”研究人员聚集在一起。最后，在 WP5 中，团队将评估整个计划、更新培训材料，并启动首个 NI Census '21 学术-VCSE 合作项目申请。我们相信，该项目将确保 NI 最脆弱的群体能够在社会中被看到和听到。 NI 的 VCSE 部门可以变得更加自主和自给自足，生成他们所需的证据，以继续为我们所有人所做的重要工作。
