16 May 2013: Positions and recommendations on the Social Investment Package now online

Eurodiaconia contributed to the responses to the Social Investment Package, (Eurodiaconia briefings here), from the Social Platform and Social Services Europe both of which are now online. Both documents welcome the general approach of the package of documents and propose recommendations on its implementation, including offering civil society organisations as partners. The Social Platform position outlines the network’s understanding of social investment, the positive elements of the package and points of concern. The Social Services Europe response presents recommendations including in the areas of EU Funds, the European Semester process, employment in the social service sector and social innovation.
