| dc.description | A core overall aim of Government is to systematically reduce poverty, with the aim of eliminating consistent poverty by 2016. Related aims are to reduce social exclusion and promote greater social inclusion and social cohesion. Among its functions the Department of Social and Family Affairs is tasked with formulating appropriate social protection and social inclusion policies and with working with other Departments and agencies in the delivery of Government polices and objectives. The role of the Division, positioned within the Department, is to support and facilitate the strategic process at national and international levels in working to achieve these aims. The Division was formed from the integration of the Combat Poverty Agency and the Office for Social Inclusion within the Department with effect from July 2009 and this new strengthened Division will make the best use of the considerable experience and expertise of the staff of both bodies. This is the first strategic plan of the new Division | en |

Adult mental health social work and housing: a position paperThis position paper offers a viewpoint on the current housing crisis in Ireland from the perspective of adult mental health social workers. A key part of the social work role is to assist individuals and families with accessing housing and accommodation, so that they might have an opportunity to build their recovery upon a secure base. The paper begins with a brief review of literature related to the role of the social worker in this area. The methodology is outlined and followed by the study findings. The paper concludes with discussion and key recommendations for social workers, government, housing departments, council services, educators and others involved in this important field.
