THE CONTENTS OF THIS INFORMATION PACK RELATE TO THE RECRUITMENT OF

ABOUT CDI:
CDI is funded under the Government’s Area Based Childhood Programme
(ABC), which builds on the learning from the Prevention and Early
Intervention Programme (PEIP). The initiative aims to break the cycle
of child poverty in areas where it is most deeply entrenched and to
improve the outcomes for children and young people where these are
currently significantly poorer than they are for children and young
people living elsewhere in the Irish State.
Based in Tallaght and delivering nationally, CDI designs, delivers and
evaluates a suite of programmes across a spectrum of local needs
including language, literacy, health, early years, conflict management
and community safety. All CDI programmes are evidence-informed and
manualised and are delivered through existing structures and services.
CDI’s overall objective is that every child in Ireland is thriving,
healthy, happy, and free from poverty. CDI works in partnership,
taking a strengths-based, family- and child-centred approach; using
evidence, innovation, and prevention and early intervention approaches
to underpin our work. In addition to the direct work to improve
outcomes for children and families, CDI supports parents to enhance
their confidence and skills to enable children to achieve their
milestones, and delivers a range of capacity building measures for
professionals.
