Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth Statement of Strategy - Ráiteas Straitéise 2021-2023

Attached is the Department’s Statement of Strategy, 2021-2023. The new Strategy takes account of various commitments in the Programme for Government for which our Department is responsible and priorities agreed with our Minister, Roderic O’ Gorman, T.D. It was developed on foot of input received from staff, other Government Departments and external stakeholders as part of a wide consultation process.

The Strategy is being published with two accompanying documents as follows:

• The Department’s Public Sector Duty Assessment and Action Plan, and
• A thematic analysis of submissions to the Department on what the Statement of Strategy should contain.

The Strategy will be re-visited and updated on foot of the planned transfer of disability functions from the Department of Health.
