The Minister for Children and Youth Affairs Dr Katherine Zappone TD today announced the final funding awards under the 2019 Network Support Fund, a What Works Initiative, supported through Dormant Accounts Funding.
This funding measure, which was launched in 2018, was designed to provide support to 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.
The fund was open for applications until 5 November 2019 and awards totalling €379,012 were made in 2019 to networks seeking to enhance their practice and share their learning and challenges in a more systematic and reflective manner.
The Minister said:
These grants will enable facilitation of formal and informal knowledge sharing explicitly focussed on enhancing practice and professional dialogue and curiosity around evidence informed prevention and early intervention.
