Answer

My department continues to engage fully with the Together: Building a United Community (T:BUC) Strategy through our membership of the Good Relations Project Board, which was established to support delivery of the strategy across departments.

In recent years, T:BUC funding has supported vulnerable children and families known to Health and Social Care Trusts to, among other things: strengthen team working and leadership skills; build resilience; develop a better understanding of cultural differences; and encourage them to play an active role in their communities.
