Social Exclusion

Social Exclusion Task Force

The Social Exclusion Task Force focuses on the most socially excluded in society who face multiple and inter-generational problems. These problems require joined-up solutions across several government departments. Our work follows five principles:

• Early intervention
• Identifying ‘what works’
• Multi-agency working
• Personalisation, rights and responsibilities
• Supporting achievement and managing under-performance

Socially excluded adults are prioritised in the 2007 Comprehensive Spending Review. A new Public Service Agreement (PSA) is aimed at reducing social exclusion amongst the most vulnerable adults.
