What our clients say

“The Bevan Foundation commissioned external experts, Policy in Practice, to assess how to implement a common approach to Welsh benefits focusing on data requirements. The findings are essential reading. They demonstrate that establishing a Welsh Benefits System is feasible in terms of data and could see millions of pounds worth of unclaimed benefits find their way to the pockets of people on low incomes.”
The Children's Society commissioned Policy in Practice to examine the barriers and solutions to the sharing of data on new born children in local authority areas. Their report delivered practical guidance, based on real-world practice on the ground. Policy in Practice were a pleasure to work with, they were effective, diligent and timely and we would definitely work with them in the future.
The advice and intelligence that we’ve had has been first rate. The commitment, the detail and the effort that has gone into the council tax support scheme modelling has been absolutely second to none. People have gone the extra mile and beyond to accommodate us. It’s been a very positive experience.
