To ask the Minister of Education how he will ensure that the RAISE Programme will work in partnership with other funders to maximise outcomes.

During the design process for RAISE, DE officials worked with a range of stakeholders to consider the potential for the programme to complement and support, where appropriate, other programmes to maximise impact and improve outcomes for children and young people.

Those considerations have included opportunities for joint working across Departments on locality-based interventions. These opportunities will be further explored in coming months.
