Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract

At the Lisbon summit in 2000, the European Council agreed to adopt an 'open method of coordination' in order to make a decisive impact on the eradication of poverty and social exclusion by 2010. Member states adopted common objectives at the Nice European Council and all member states drew up National Action Plans against poverty and social exclusion (NAPs/inclusion). Early in 2003, the European Commission established a group of non-government experts responsible for providing an independent critical review of member states' NAPs/inclusion. This is the first semester 2007 report from the UK experts in response to common guidelines with a focus on 'Tackling child poverty and promoting the social inclusion of children'.
