Ms Amy Carey:

I will jump in there. As for which area this applies to, the Department in question is called the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. It covers many areas. We focus on inequality in communities that are disadvantaged and areas that are marginalised where integration is needed. We look at youth-work models and take a child-centred approach. Like the Deputy, we want children’s rights to be brought back to the centre. The NCS, as a labour activation model, is all about the parents. There are good parts to it and it serves some families well but it is not serving the families in our community. We want to bring it back to a child-centred approach. The funding should fit within the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth.
