IASIO (the Irish Association for Social Inclusion Opportunities), is a
national organisation that works with State agencies in the
development and delivery of services to marginalised groups, enabling
communities to become more socially inclusive through excellence in
practice. IASIO?s current operational scope includes three national
Services and two smaller projects: The Linkage Service, the Gate
Service, the Resettlement Service; and, The Community Support Scheme
and The Supported Employment Service. In particular, it is the only
national organisation for adult offenders in the community and
voluntary sector with a specific focus on alternatives to both
offending and re-imprisonment. This is achieved through the provision
of direct services to offenders in the community and to prisoners,
services which range from 1-to-1 guidance counselling, group work,
psychometric assessment, resettlement planning & support and placement
in the community. IASIO?s core mission is the social inclusion of
people marginalised from mainstream opportunity.? ?
