We are pleased to announce the next Irish Social Policy Association seminar, on the Growing Up in Ireland Survey and its Influence on Social Policy

ISPA is holding an in-person evening seminar on how the Growing Up in Ireland survey has informed social policy since its launch in 1998.

• Dr Katie O’Farrell, Head of Growing Up in Ireland (GUI) at the CSO, will present on GUI’s findings, giving an overview of what we have learned over time.
• Dr Helen Russell, ESRI, will respond, based on her analysis of the GUI micro-data.
• Dr Ciara Pidgeon, Head of Research and Evaluation, Department of Children, Equality and Disability, will present on links between GUI, policy and advisory groups.
• Mr Stephen Moffatt, Barnardos, will speak from a children’s rights and equality perspective.

Dr O’Farrell will speak for up to 30 minutes and three respondents will deliver a short response or reaction to those findings. We will then have a question-and-answer session with the audience.

The seminar is taking place on Tuesday 13th May, 6.30-8pm, Carmelite Centre, 56 Aungier Street, Dublin 2. All welcome.

The seminar is free for members of the ISPA and €5 for non-members. Membership can be purchased on the night.
