Inclusion Cornwall

Inclusion Cornwall will look forward, challenge barriers and poor practices. Increase understanding, participation and improve the quality of life within Cornwall.

Social exclusion issues are often multiple in nature, inevitably linked and have spiralling consequences for vulnerable people in Cornwall. Economic, social and environmental issues such as worklessness, barriers to education, barriers to employment, vulnerable migrant workers, poverty and poor health are not the responsibility of only one organisation and must be addressed through a coordinated approach.

Inclusion Cornwall has been established to provide a dedicated voice for inclusion in Cornwall and the team is committed to working both on a strategic level and within the community to challenge and reduce the impact of social exclusion.

Inclusion Cornwall is also the delivery partnership for three Cornwall Local Area Agreement outcomes (Worklessness, Poverty and Migrant Workers).

The aims of Inclusion Cornwall are;

• To provide a strategic voice for Cornwall addressing social, economic and environmental inclusion.

• To actively encourage and facilitate problem solving around inclusion issues.

• To raise and challenge inclusion issues across public, private, voluntary and community sectors throughout Cornwall.

• To raise understanding of and call for action on breaking the cycle of deprivation within Cornwall.

• To lobby inclusion issues across and on behalf of partners and partnerships.

• To work across sectors to raise understanding of linked issues and act as a catalyst for multi-agency approaches to delivery, linking partners and facilitating changes in culture, practice and processes.

• To break down cultural and institutional barriers that prevent equality of opportunity for all.

• To develop a communication strategy to ensure all organisations and partnerships benefit from inclusion updates
