One on the likely impact of proposals on children in Northern Ireland.

  • Making Children Visible: Assessing the Impact on Children by Goretti Horgan and Marina Monteith

The second on the implications of ‘parity’ in relation to how much the NI Executive could vary from what was being implemented in England, Scotland and Wales.Welfare Reform report cover ( parity question) April 12.jpg

  • Making Children Visible: The Parity Question by Barry Fitzpatrick and Noreen Burrows.

The reason for commissioning these two reports was to bring visibility to children in the debates on the reforms.
