Understanding the community results table
The aim of the community results table is to provide an overview of all the AEDC results that have been geographically mapped for Local Communities located within the AEDC community
(this is usually a Local Government Area). The table displays proportions of children who are developmentally vulnerable on each of the AEDC domains in each Local Community, as well as children
who are developmentally vulnerable on one or more and two or more AEDC domains. These results are provided in the same colour shadings as the maps~, and this gives the reader an
opportunity to scan across the AEDC results for the Local Community, or look down the column to see AEDC results for the whole AEDC Community for each domain. Relevant data from the 2011
Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA)^, developed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has also been included.
Whilst the table reports on the proportion of children developmentally vulnerable on each of the five AEDC domains and those vulnerable on more than one domain, it is also important to
look at the areas in which your community is displaying relative strength in their AEDC results. For example key questions the reader may ask themselves are:
1 On which domain(s) are children more likely to be developmentally vulnerable? Are there domains where children are less likely to be developmentally vulnerable?
2 How do the Local Community results compare to the national and state AEDC results displayed in the AEDC National Report or other communities that have similar characteristics
to this Local Community? Are the Local Communities faring better or worse than the comparison groups?
3 How many children are developmentally vulnerable? Depending on how many children were surveyed for the AEDC in the Local Community (column titled Number of Children),
a higher proportion does not necessarily mean a large number of children. Similarly, a low proportion in a large community may still equate to a large number of children.
ⱡ Results for children with chronic special needs are not included in the results. If there are a certain number of questions not answered by teachers, these children do not
contribute to the domain analysis.
~ The maps are coloured in five shades of blue, representing the range of developmental vulnerability. The blue shading shows how a community is doing relative to the rest
of Australia. Areas shaded in lighter blues have lower proportions of developmentally vulnerable children and areas shaded in darker blues have higher proportions of
developmentally vulnerable children. There are also maps of selected socio-demographic information from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). This information can be
used along with the AEDC results to help provide the community's local context.
^ It is useful to use the SEIFA Index for Relative Socio-Economic Disadvantage, as it is Census information that reflects disadvantage such as low income, low educational
attainment, high unemployment, and jobs in relatively unskilled occupations. Every geographical area in Australia is given a SEIFA score that ranks the ‘disadvantage’ of an area,
compared with other areas in Australia.
