Do Your Duty for Equality
Poverty2Solutions are an award-winning collaboration that merges lived and learned expertise of poverty and socio-economic disadvantage to revolutionise policymaking.
We are determined to break through outdated approaches by using participatory methods that prioritise people at the core.
Put lived experiences at the heart of policy making!
1. The Problem
Government policy is made without any meaningful involvement of the people who are most impacted. Without this insight and expertise, policies often do not achieve their stated outcomes and further exacerbate the issues people living in poverty have to face.
2. The solution
The possibilities that can emerge by working directly with people with direct experiences of poverty and social security is genuinely transformative. By harnessing the expertise that comes with experience more targeted and effective policy responses can be developed.
3. The Action needed
In practise, we want to see:
Enactment of the socioeconomic duty under section 1 of the Equality Act.
Safeguarding the intention of the duty by ensuring guidance on best practice implementation and monitoring is developed.
