About the Social Exclusion Task Force

The Social Exclusion Task Force was created by the then Prime Minister in June 2006. The role of the Task Force is to extend the opportunity and prosperity enjoyed by the many to those in our society characterised by poverty, deprivation, isolation and deep exclusion. The Task Force engages in analytical projects that require cross government working and address issues of disadvantage. It is currently coordinating the delivery of the Government's Public Service Agreement on Socially Excluded Adults as well as developing a number of short term projects with other government departments. The Task Force is particularly committed to ensuring that the voice of front line staff and end users is included in policy development.
