Raising poverty's profile
The
Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) has long made good use of research to get media coverage and keep the issue of poverty in the public's attention.
Examples of recent major reports include:
The CPAG website is chock full of impressive statistics, and plenty of evidence of the numerous speeches, papers and submissions in which its members make use of their research - much of it based on publicly available material.
CPAG itself does not have many resources, but it effectively draws on a loose but extensive network of volunteer researchers, academics, practitioners and other professionals, who share their commitment to work for more informed social policy to address child poverty.
