Ghlac an tAire Gnóthaí Sóisialacha agus Teaghlaigh le dara plean straitéiseach Chomhairle, a chuimsíonn an tréimhse idir Iúil 2003 agus Meitheamh 2006, i mí Iúil 2003. Le linn 2004 dhírigh Comhairle ar phríomhthosaíochtaí na straitéise agus ar na gníomhaíochtaí a leagtar amach sa phlean forfheidhmithe a tháinig amach leis. This report from the Board of Comhairle to the Minister for Social and Family Affairs details Comhairle’s activities for the calendar year 2004. 2.1 Background Comhairle is a statutory body established under the Comhairle Act, 2000. It is responsible for supporting the provision of information, advice and advocacy services to members of the public on a wide range of social and civil services. Comhairle’s mandate, as defined by the Act, is to ensure that individuals have access to accurate, comprehensive and clear information relating to social services; to assist and support individuals, in particular those with disabilities, in identifying and understanding their needs and options; to promote greater accessibility, co-ordination and public awareness of social services; to support, promote and develop the provision of information on the effectiveness of current social policy and services; and to highlight issues which are of concern to users of those services. 2.2 Strategy 2003–2006 According to the Comhairle Act, 2000, Comhairle must prepare three-yearly strategies which detail how it intends to fulfil its mandate for the subsequent three years. Comhairle’s second strategic plan, which covers the period from July 2003 to June 2006, was approved by the Minister for Social and Family Affairs in July 2003. Comhairle’s activities during 2004 focused on the key priorities in the strategy and the activities outlined in the implementation plan that accompanied it. Strategic Plan 2003-2006 Plean Straitéiseach 2003-2006 Réamhrá Introduction 5
Comhairle’s four strategic priorities define its services to the public. These are to: 1. Produce and publish high-quality integrated information on social and civil services, by sourcing and integrating information from a wide range of providers and sources. 2. Promote and support the delivery of information, advice and advocacy on social and civil services to the public, by developing effective and accessible channels to meet the varying needs of individuals and communities. 3. Influence policy developments by highlighting the concerns of service users as to the effectiveness of social and civil services, by gathering and analysing feedback from the users of information services and presenting this information to the relevant Ministers and service providers. 4. Promote accessibility to information, advice and advocacy and heighten public awareness of social and civil services, including access for people with disabilities, by promoting services and providing information in a range of formats and delivered through co-ordinated channels. Tá na seirbhísí a chuireann Comhairle ar fáil don phobal sainmhínithe sna ceithre thosaíocht straitéiseacha atá aici. Is iad seo a leanas iad: 1. Eolas comhtháite d’ardchaighdeán ar sheirbhisí sóisialta agus sibhialta a sholáthar agus a fhoilsiú, trí eolas ó réimse leathan soláthraithe agus foinsí a fhoinsiú agus a chomhtháthú. 2. Seachadadh an eolais, comhairle agus abhcóideacht maidir le seirbhisí sóisialta agus sibhialta a chur ar aghaidh agus a sholáthar, trí mheáin éifeachtacha agus inrochtana a fhorbairt chun freastal ar riachtanais éagsula daoine agus pobal. 3. Dul i bhfeidhm ar fhorbairtí beartais trí cheisteanna úsáideoirí na seirbhísí faoi éifeachtacht na seirbhísí sóisialta agus sibhialta a thabhairt chun solais, trí aiseolas ó úsáideoirí na seirbhísí eolais a bhailiú agus a scrúdú agus an t-eolas seo a chur in iúl don Aire ábhartha agus do na soláthraithe seirbhísí. 4. Inrochtaineacht eolais, comhairle agus abhcóideachta a chur ar aghaidh agus feasacht phoiblí ar seirbhísí sóisialta agus sibhialta a ardú, lena n-áirítear inrochtaineacht do dhaoine le míchumais, trí sheirbhísí a chur chun cinn agus eolas a chur ar fáil i réimsí formáidí agus i meáin chomhordaithe.
