The RAISE programme is a new initiative which aims to raise achievement to reduce educational disadvantage in Northern Ireland from the Department of Education.

The programme is a whole community, place-based approach in localities across Northern Ireland to support the Department of Education’s vision that “every child is happy, learning and succeeding”. It helps to deliver on the mission, set by the report ‘A Fair Start’, to ensure all children and young people regardless of background are given the best start in life.

Biild extended their core platform to facilitate the programme and support stakeholder collaboration, action planning, and reporting tailored to the taxonomy and methodology of the Programme. This platform enables communities to work together effectively, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to succeed.
