The Equality Authority had convened a committee to realise this commitment. The Committee involves the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, Irish Business and Employers Confederation, Department of Finance, Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Health Service Employers Agency, Local Government Management Services Board and the Equal Opportunities Network. The approach being adopted by the Committee involves three strands: To serve as a channel of communication about new equality initiatives and to encourage participation by enterprises in these initiatives; To develop practical supports to assist enterprises in their focus on equality; To convene clusters of enterprises to develop practical enterprise based equality initiatives. F) Family Friendly Initiatives In June 2000 "Investing in People," a study of Family Friendly work policies in small and medium size enterprises was launched.The research for the publication was funded by the European Social Fund through the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform.A working group comprising representatives of I.C.T.U., I.B.E.C., S.F.A., I.S.M.E. and the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform, the Department of Enterprise,Trade and Employment and the National College of Ireland assisted the work.The publication of this study received considerable media attention.The publication and a summary version were widely distributed by the Equality Authority, with the co-operation of the organisations which assisted the project.
