Social justice
Social Justice is about every one of us having the chances and opportunities to make the most of our lives and use our talents to the full.
'One Wales' gives a joint commitment to the principles of social justice, sustainability and inclusivity. The Welsh Assembly Government is committed to a fair and just society and we are working to deliver long term solutions to deep-rooted problems. There are no quick fixes to the problems that exist.
With a firm commitment to social justice at the heart of policy-making, all our policies and programmes, across areas of health, education, economic development, transport, housing and the environment, are focused on making Wales a more prosperous, healthier and better-educated country.
From here you can find out more about how social justice is being built into our strategies, policies and programmes. The key areas of our focus are:
- helping more people into jobs
- improving health
- developing strong and safe communities
- creating better jobs and skills.
