Get involved: A data led investigation into the causes and consequences of poverty in London

Policy and Practice are looking for London Boroughs to get involved in a Trust for London-funded project that is working with local councils’ anonymised household-level data to track income, employment and poverty for half a million low-income households on a monthly basis over two years ...

The project proves what can be revealed when local authorities collaborate with their data. Tracking households over time tells policymakers what support is effective. The evidence base we’ve developed is now a powerful tool, capable of influencing central government.

Get in touch if you’re from one of the London Boroughs who are not yet signed up: Bromley; Havering; Kingston; Lewisham; Merton; Newham; Richmond; Wandsworth
