My Department leads on the co-ordination of the Government's national disability policy. This includes both national disability strategies, the National Disability Inclusion Strategy and the Comprehensive Employment Strategy for People with Disabilities, and the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. My Department does not currently have a role in the delivery of services or operation of schemes other than those that are related to children such as the Early Childhood Care and Education Scheme (ECCE) or the Access and Inclusion Model (AIM).
