We’re moving to gov.ie

The website of the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection is moving to new single Government Site

From Monday, 2 December 2019, the website of the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection (www.welfare.ie) will be moving to a new single Government of Ireland website called gov.ie. The move follows a Government Decision in late 2017.

gov.ie will be a single, easy-to-use and trusted source for people seeking information on Government supports, services and policies. The gov.ie site allows customers to find information on all Government services on a single website, with information in plain English and content designed to best meet our customers' needs.

Further details are available at this link: Website is moving to GOV.IE

Due to this change the Social Inclusion Division will also be moving and all our new publications and any other policy information will also be available on gov.ie.

Further details are available at the following link: Social Inclusion Division on gov.ie

Report of Social Inclusion Forum 2018

The Social Inclusion Forum (SIF) was established as part of the structures to monitor and evaluate the National Action Plan for Social Inclusion (NAPinclusion) 2007- 2017 and its successor which is currently being finalised. The Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection convenes this Forum, which is a key element of the government's commitment to consult with all relevant stakeholders, including people experiencing poverty and the groups that represent them in the fight against poverty and social exclusion.

The event provides an opportunity for engagement between officials from government departments, community and voluntary organisations and people experiencing poverty. The 2018 Forum was organised with the assistance of the European Anti-Poverty Network (EAPN) Ireland and Community Work Ireland (CWI).

This document provides a summary of the proceedings of the 14th meeting of the Forum which took place on Thursday 10th May 2018 at the Aviva Stadium Conference Centre, Lansdown Road, Dublin 4. The theme of the 2018 Forum was ‘Social Inclusion in a Changing Environment’.

The document includes inputs by guest speakers, which provided a framework for the discussions in the five parallel workshops. The document highlights the common themes which cut across all of the workshops. In addition, a number of overarching recommendations are highlighted for the attention of policy makers.
