Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 March 2026
618. Deputy Maurice Quinlivan asked the Minister for Social Protection to ensure that cultural awareness and anti-racism training is made mandatory for all staff working in employment activation and support; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16958/26]
View answerAnti–Racism and cultural awareness training has been provided to all staff working in the Employment Services operations division of my Department.
On foot of a recommendation from the Department's Traveller and Roma Employment Services Consultative Forum, Pavee Point delivered Anti-racism and Intercultural Awareness Training to Intreo Employment Services staff which commenced in September 2024.
This training is designed to strengthen staff awareness of cultural diversity and to support inclusive and culturally competent service delivery.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
