Ms Anne Murray:

I will give the Deputy a little more information on Forbairt, which is the annual statement of priorities for the Department. The Department has undertaken action planning of goals and actions since 2016 and Forbairt is our latest go at setting out the priorities for the Department. It contains 46 actions covering the breadth of activities of the Department. It is published on the Department's website. Quarterly reviews are undertaken which are also published on the website. The most recent quarterly review was for Q2 and was published last month. We are currently undertaking the review of Q3 which will be published in due course. The review of Q4 will take place as we get to the end of the year. We are currently planning for 2024 as to what the Department's statement of priorities will be for the year. That will also be published in due course.

As I said, Forbairt contains 46 actions spanning the breadth of the activities of the Department. The Deputy mentioned well-being and there is an action on well-being in Forbairt, which is to implement the Department's well-being policy, to foster the well-being of all children and young people and to ensure that well-being is at the core of the culture and climate of all schools and centres for education. Each unit with responsibility for the different priority actions will report on progress towards those actions and that is published regularly.
