Social Inclusion
Social inclusion is a key factor of sustainable economic development. It:
- ensures that all human resources are used efficiently in the economy
- generates considerable savings for the public purse by reducing unemployment benefits as well as the need to tackle the wider detrimental outcomes linked to poverty and exclusion such as crime, health or homelessness.
Roger Tym & Partners provides advice on social inclusion with a focus on worklessness: employment remains the main route out of poverty and the key link between social inclusion and economic development.
Through our work we have looked at the incidence and reasons for social inclusion amongst the most vulnerable groups such as the long-term unemployed, BAME groups, NEETs or people with complex needs and at the delivery processes in place at national, regional and sub-regional level to address them.
Our studies have included evidence bases of needs and gaps in provision in order to inform policy decisions; appraisals of interventions applying for regional funding and the evaluations of sub-regional programmes and individual projects. We conduct consultation exercises with beneficiaries, delivery organisations, stakeholders and partners through a range of techniques from workshops to surveys.
