The objective of the fund for the development of targeted educational responses to certain children at risk is to develop preventative and supportive programmes which are targeted at children and young people who are at risk of educational disadvantage and social exclusion. A key focus of the initiative is the empowerment of local communities to develop innovative and flexible programmes that address identified needs of intended participants.

Application forms are available on request from the social inclusion unit of the Department of Education and Science in Athlone. Operation of the fund is currently being reviewed.
