Policy Relevance and Impact It is part of SASPRI’s objectives to conduct research which is of direct relevance to policy. Indeed, it is hoped that our research will form part of the evidence base for evidence informed policy-making. To this end we aim to keep a record of how our research has been used by government, civil society and academia. The following list gives some examples. We would be grateful to hear of any other ways our research has been useful to researchers, policymakers, academics or civil society.

uk women's budget group: local data project

The Women’s Budget Group is a is independent and not-for-profit membership network consisting of women’s voluntary organisations, academics and policy expert whose aims are to promote a gender equal economy. We do this through conducting in depth analysis of the impact of policy on women. Our analysis has been used to influence policy debates on a national and local level. We run several projects that work to build the capacity of women’s organisations as well as national and international campaigning organisations and other equality groups. Find out more about the capacity building work we are doing through our Local Data Project Nationally, we have recently published our final report from our Feminist Green New Deal project. The report provides a clear roadmap to a sustainable and equal UK economy. Internationally, our Global Partnerships & Learning Programme has been working together with civil society organisations on how they can effectively be in open dialogue with their governments to develop policies and allocate resources in ways that improve the lives of women, with an emphasis on the most marginalised women. We strongly believe that we can all work together to design and demand a new economy: an economy which has the wellbeing of individuals, communities and the planet at its centre; an economy which values care, both paid and unpaid. Watch this short clip to understand why we urgently need alternative policies that can help create a caring economy now.

safer:now

Sean set up Safer:Now after many years in the fields of youth work, safeguarding and service development, after being a participant in many ‘training sessions.’ Sean’s challenge to much of the training that is out there, however high quality, is that it is often more ‘awareness’ and less “how to actually apply it.” Awareness-raising, safeguarding policy training and understanding-the-theory offers do not regularly lend themselves to a practitioner’s needs - ”what happens when I am in this scenario with a young person?” “How do I support them sufficiently with all the nuance, skills and tools needed?” “How do I best support the communities we serve?”
