Evidence, Campaigning and the General Election – Sharing Our Plans
The upcoming General Election offers organisations that promote the greater use of research, evidence and data to inform social policy the opportunity to garner political support for their position.
This lunchtime roundtable was a practical and informal forum to share plans for the 2015 Election - encouraging 'joined-up-ness', avoiding duplication, exploring potential partnerships and ways to increase impact by working in unison.
Our aim was to facilitate dialogue around the Election rather than coordinate future work.
