Possibilities
This DP is a partnership of organisations which have an interest in promoting equality of opportunity for lone parents in respect of employment.
The DP objectives will be:
- To identify the obstacles which inhibit lone parent entry into the labour market and lead to economic inactivity;
- To review current interventions aimed at improving lone parents access to employment and enhancing employability;
- To identify gaps in provision and make recommendations for the development of appropriate responses;
- To demonstrate ways in which existing interventions can become more effective through additionality, mainstreaming and interagency work;
- To highlight existing models of good practice and pilot an innovative model of community based intervention which can be replicated; and
- To disseminate and recommend the replication and mainstreaming of effective policy and practice domestically, transnationally and on a cross border basis.
