Minister Katherine Zappone announces Further 2019 Network Funding awards to organisations working to improve outcomes for children under the what works initiative

The Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Dr Katherine Zappone TD, has today announced further funding awards under the 2019 Network Support Fund, a What Works Initiative, supported through Dormant Accounts Funding.

The measure aims to support organisations promoting evidence informed approaches to prevention and early intervention services, so that those working with and for children, young people and their families are supported in doing the right things, in the right way and at the right time.

In announcing this allocation of funding, Minister Zappone said:

These grants awarded to date under the Network Funding Scheme will enable facilitation of formal and informal knowledge sharing. This knowledge sharing will explicitly focus on enhancing practice, professional dialogue and curiosity around evidence informed prevention and early intervention.
