UK national report on strategies for Social Protection and Social Inclusion

From 2006 all European Union (EU) countries, including the UK, have produced a ‘National report on strategies for Social Protection and Social Inclusion’. The first report was published in 2006. The report for 2008-2010 was delivered to the European Commission on 15 September 2008. This latest report outlines the most important social policy issues for the UK from 2008 to 2010.
