Government strategy on ‘Social Justice Outcomes’

On 13 March 2012 the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) published ‘Social Justice: transforming lives’. It explains the Government’s plans for giving individuals and families facing multiple disadvantages the support and tools they need to turn their lives around.

The Government’s ‘Social Justice Outcomes Framework’ was published in October 2012. It explains what the government wants to achieve and how it will measure success.

On 24 April 2013 the Government published ‘Social justice: transforming lives – one year on’. This progress report looks at how social justice principles influence service delivery at national and local level, in government and across the private and voluntary sectors.

The strategy includes action to:

• help troubled families turn their lives around
• improve mental health
• reduce child poverty and make sure that children are properly supported so that they complete their education
• make work pay, and help people to find and stay in work
• help people recover and become independent if things have gone wrong
• work with the voluntary, public and private sectors to deal more effectively with complex problems
