Missing out: £23 billion of support is unclaimed
Our analysis shows that over eight million households are missing out on an average of £2,700 a year in support
I'm so proud of the relationship between JRF and Policy in Practice that has come about through RAPID. JRF as a builder of insight infrastructure is something fairly new for us and it is a slightly different way of working. It's working in the open, how we develop things and doing it iteratively. I personally have learnt loads working on this project and I can't wait to see where we go next with it.

“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.”
We helped the Welsh government to model a new benefits system
Focus outreach effort where most needed
“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.”
Ask us to answer your policy research questions
We use extensive administrative datasets to explore today’s biggest social policy challenges
“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.”
