The Roadmap for Social Inclusion 2020-2025: Ambition, Goals, Commitments is the national strategy for poverty reduction and improved social inclusion. It aims to “reduce consistent poverty to 2% or less and to make Ireland one of the most socially inclusive countries in the EU”. The Roadmap translates this ambition into seven goals underpinned by 66 unique commitments to be taken to help deliver these goals.
The Roadmap commits that “an independent mid-term review of the Roadmap will be undertaken in 2022.” The Department of Social Protection has contracted Ipsos to undertake the public consultation aspect of this review.
The purpose of the review is to evaluate progress in implementation, assess the Roadmap ambition, goals and commitments in the current environment, and examine the existing Roadmap indicators.
As part of this review we would like to hear your views on what progress you think has been made in reducing poverty and social exclusion. We would ask that you reflect on your experience, or the people you represent, of poverty and social exclusion, and the ways in which this situation could be improved during the remaining period of the Roadmap to the end of 2025.
The Department of Social Protection has contracted Ipsos, an independent research and survey company, to collect data to inform the Mid-Term Review of the Roadmap for Social Inclusion 2022-2025. To learn more about Ipsos visit their website.
The public consultation will take place from 6 September 2022 to 14 October 2022.
