Overview

This overview provides a synopsis of the current knowledge base. Having considered all the information, we make sense of it by taking a stab at the following: 1) What are the priority issues that deserve attention, 2) What are opportunity areas that community or voluntary organisations can already take action on, and 3) What knowledge gaps deserve further investigation?

Priority Issues

Knowledge Gaps

Definitions

Definition of [insert your target group / issue]

  • Identify and define your target group or social issue, and state who is included or excluded to provide a sense of the scope of the issue. (For example, will the page on Animal Welfare include livestock? Or just focused on pets, community animals and wildlife?)
  • It is usually easier to start with national guidelines, laws or reports from apex organisations.
  • Include a comparison with how other countries define the issue if possible (e.g. Local definition of Disability does not include mental health conditions)

Key Statistics & Figures

  • Size of target population / prevalence rate: Ideally, it would be the total number of people in your target group, identified by national censuses, surveys or research. When data isn't available, try using the best available proxy, e.g., number of people receiving key services.
  • If the issue you are interested has many sub-segments and sub-pages, then only include the key figures that affect all or most stakeholders in the sector here and leave the other relevant figures at the specific segment or page. This reduces cognitive load for the reader & contributor.

Map of Key Needs & Issues

Hyperlink the categories below to the specific page or sub-header in the page for easy navigation, so that you can click on 'Employment' below for example, and get straight to that page / segment]

Sub-pages

  • If there are population segments that have substantial enough information or interest, then create sub-pages for them. e.g. 'Autism' can be a stand alone pages linked to the Disability pages if the autism community is keen to populate more autism specific information. Or, artists with disability can populate a 'Arts & Disability' page.
