Building Bridges: Busting Poverty Myths and Highlighting Inclusive Practice in Education, Training and Employment highlights inclusive practices that truly support people in poverty to access education and employment.
The project has given those with an experience of poverty and socio- economic discrimination an outlet to express their experiences and better connect these to policy.
The key inclusive practices identified include an expansion of alternative pathways to education and employment, a focus on early intervention, a greater investment in one-on-one support and advertising and outreach.
The project has supported advocacy work in this area, including towards the recognition of socio- economic status in Irish equality legislation.
