General Guidelines

  • Cite credible sources (books, websites, reports, newspapers) where possible using the 'Cite' function once you click 'Edit'
  • You can also hyperlink to websites where relevant.
  • The table of contents on the right reflects headers that you can assign while editing. For example, clicking 'Definitions and Scope' below while in Edit mode shows that it is a Heading, while 'Target Population' is a Sub-heading 1.
    • Every page should have the Headings and sub-headings (see below) by default
    • Feel free to add more Headings and sub-headings where helpful.
  • See the pages on Disability or End of Life for examples of how pages should more or less look like

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

Actionable Opportunity Areas

Knowledge Gaps

  • [to insert]

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

[This table and arrows acts as a kind of visual map that allows a sense of sequencing; of the broad preconditions necessary for longer term outcomes to be achieved. 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]

Community Integration ↘
Social Inclusion
Family & Caregiving ↗
Financial Independence
Employment ↗
Education ↗

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.
  • Insert links to these sub-pages.

Areas of Needs / Desired Outcomes

Need for (insert description)

  • A need should be defined from the perspective of the target group, and not others such as the people or services serving them.
  • Needs should not be identified in term of its specific solutions, e.g. youths need mentoring, seniors need hospice care, people with disabilities need day care. Instead, they should be defined in more ‘perennial terms’ because the solutions can change where needs remain
    • For example, I don’t need a CD player, or even an mp3 player, I need ‘portable music’ and currently the best solution seems to be Spotify.
  • Where data is available, indicate the size of this specific need & projected demand, e.g., there is 1 million children, with 1.2 million projected in ten years time. You can locate such information through research, using proxies or getting inputs from key stakeholders where data is unavailable such as the government, community agencies, legislators etc.
  • Include a synoptic statement - a summary of how existing resources (if any) have been meeting the need, and gaps that still exist
    • For example, "Even though there are 1,510 childcare centres across Singapore[1], 80% of low-income single mothers cannot afford them as they earn less than $1,500 a month.
STATISTICS
  • 7,000 children aged 6 and below have developmental difficulties as of 2015[2]
  • Between 2010 and 2014, KKH and NUS screenings show a 76% increase in children 6 and below with developmental issues such as development delays, speech and language delays, learning difficulties and autism spectrum disorders (ASD)[3]
EXISTING RESOURCES GAPS AND THEIR CAUSES POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Existing services or programmes both private or public, including relevant policies and legislation, to meet the need. (e.g., Childcare Centres) Find these out from relevant sources - newspapers, reports, surveys, interviews with key stakeholders etc. Some gaps could be due to: 1) capacity of solution to meet size & projected demand, 2) quality of solution (effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, scalability etc.), 3) accessibility (geographical, cost to client)] Based on the specific gaps and reasons for those gaps, what might be solutions that can help? Insert existing but untapped resources, or new ideas that have not been considered yet.
