Community Work Programme - background materials

These background materials on the Community Work Programme were prepared as part of induction training for non-profit agencies appointed to implement the CWP, and as an introduction for other stakeholders. The materials were originally developed for the Department of Co-operative Governance by TIPS in 2013. They have been partly updated as background reading to provide insights into the programme. In relation to many of the themes covered, DGOG policy guidelines now exist - these should be reffered to for clarity on interpretation of any of the issues covered, to take into account how the programme has evolved.
