The Department of Social Protection is committed to the development of all its staff in order to deliver the best possible service delivery to our customers. Staff from my Department attended a number of Common Purpose Ireland programmes between 2015 and 2018, as part of my Department's focus on leadership development. As there were a number of different programmes attended by various levels of staff over these years, this did not require a formal tender process.

Common Purpose offered a unique peer-to-peer experiential learning approach through their programmes which aimed to broaden leadership perspectives with participants from across the public, private and NGO sector.
