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.

北方爱尔兰（NI）的2021年人口普查有可能确定NI人口中许多代表性不足，弱势和弱势群体。是否使用个别人口普查指标确定，如种族指标（少数民族）、性取向指标（性少数）、父母地位指标（单亲/母亲）、照料者指标（无报酬/儿童照料者）或十三类健康指标（如智力残疾、精神健康问题、轮椅使用者等群体），这种独特的人口数据资源有可能使社会上许多最脆弱的人变得可见和可访问，其方式和程度是其他数据资源所不能做到的。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人群的人更能充分利用数据的解释力。北爱尔兰的志愿者、社区和社会企业（VCSE）部门组织处于非常有利的地位，知道应该对这些数据提出什么要求，更重要的是，能够充分发挥数据所揭示的一切潜力。为了准备发布北爱尔兰人口普查的21项数据，来自阿尔斯特大学、贝尔法斯特女王大学和北方爱尔兰统计和研究机构的研究人员，和代表从NI的VCSE部门，旨在开发一套研究参与，意识和培训研讨会和资源，完全基于NI普查'21，为了刺激有意义的合作之间的NI研究人员和VCSE组织nationwide.Objectives：五个工作包（WP）将实现这一目标.在WP 1中，学术团队将与选定的VCSE组织合作，展示人口普查数据如何用于（i）确定目标人群，（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）发病率，（v）描述他们的家庭，以及（vi）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，以展示和促进更广泛的基于普查的研究和全国范围内的学术VCSE参与和合作。在WP 2中，该团队将邀请其他VCSE组织参加一系列Census的21个研究意识和参与建设研讨会，这些研讨会由WP 1中提供的旗舰研究和相关研究结果提供信息。在WP 3中，使用WP 1开发的方法和分析，该团队将为UU和QUB的跨学科学者举办一系列数据/分析培训研讨会，以展示如何访问NI的人口普查和其他行政数据，并用于产生有影响力的人口研究。在WP 4中，该团队将举办一次“普查黑客会议”，将来自WP 2研讨会的VCSE代表与来自WP 3的“普查就绪”研究人员聚集在一起。最后，在WP 5中，该团队将评估整个计划，更新培训材料，并推出第一个NI Census的21个学术-VCSE合作项目应用程序。我们相信，这个项目将确保NI最脆弱的人能够以他们应得的方式被看到和听到，NI的VCSE部门可以更加自主和自给自足地生成他们继续为我们所有人所做的重要工作所需的证据。
