Abstract

The National Economic and Social Forum (NESF) is a social partnership organisation which advises the Government on policies to achieve greater equality and social inclusion. In the renewed mandate given to it recently by the Government, the NESF has been asked to focus on examining ways to improve the implementation of policies on the ground. This leaflet summarises the findings and recommendations of the NESF Project Team’s Report on Child Literacy and Social Inclusion: Implementation Issues, which seeks to identify best practice in literacy and social inclusion policy and to pin-point barriers and supports to effective implementation in and outside of schools, including in the home and the local community. The Project Team comprised representatives from the Oireachtas, the social partners, educationalists and was chaired by Professor Áine Hyland.
