An important element of the government’s Social Inclusion agenda is the development of a performance reporting framework - to identify the number and characteristics of people and families suffering severe and multiple forms of disadvantage and to monitor the impact of government policies to address social inclusion. Indicators of social inclusion need to cover the wide range of economic, social and personal factors that affect people’s ability to participate fully in the community. The paper outlines the framework being developed and discusses the importance of developing a unified framework that provides a better understanding of the multiple factors that can enable or impede the social inclusion of individuals, families and communities, and that enables better evaluation of the effectiveness of government policies.
