UK National report on strategies for Social Protection and Social Inclusion 2006-2008
From 2006 all European Union (EU) countries, including the UK, will produce an annual ‘National report on strategies for Social Protection and Social Inclusion’. The first report is due to be delivered to the European Commission by 15 September 2006. This report outlines the most important social policy issues for the UK from 2006-2008.
Chapter 1 gives an overview of the economic, social and demographic context, the key challenges arising, and our overall strategy for addressing them.
Chapter 2 is the social inclusion pillar of the report, showing our priorities in combating poverty and exclusion and the main policies to allow us to achieve this. This is the third UK National Action Plan for social inclusion.
Chapter 3 reports on the major developments with UK pension policy since our second National Strategy Report on Pensions in 2005.
Chapter 4 adds Health and Long Term Care to this EU reporting process for the first time, outlining the current UK strategies and systems, and identifying issues for future exchange of information and learning between Member States.
