SOLAS have informed my Department that they have fully accepted the recommendations of the Equality Officer and are implementing all of the recommendations made, including through the introduction of a comprehensive HR policy framework. SOLAS will also be working with Education and Training Boards and other partners in the Further Education and Training (FET) sector to ensure that FET programmes can support people at all stages of their adult lives.
