Question:
To ask the Minister of Education for an update on discussions between his Department, the Greater Shankill Project and Queen's University Belfast in relation to Key Area 5 of A Fair Start Final Report and Action Plan.

Answer:

Since the report “A Fair Start” report was published in June 2021, there has been on-going engagement with the Chief Executive of the Greater Shankill Project (GSP) on a ‘Greater Shankill Children & Young People Zone’ for the area and on "A Fair Start" more generally.

My department has also been engaging with the QUB School of Social Sciences, Education and Social Work to support the development of the RAISE programme.
