Responses to Government

As part of our efforts to bring about research-based policy and practice change, the Foundation often compiles written responses to consultation exercises being undertaken by government and other public bodies. These responses are based on research findings, mostly arising from the Foundation's own programme. Apart from the addition of links to Findings and reports where relevant, the texts appear on the JRF web site in the form submitted to Government. The responses are not intended to form a consistent series.
