Since 2023, the Wales Centre for Public Policy (WCPP), as part of the International Public Policy Observatory (IPPO), has been working to explore how public services in Wales and beyond can use evidence and expertise to prevent and tackle poverty stigma more effectively.
We’re now seeking to establish a Poverty Stigma Insight Network, to continue to bring together people from across Wales and elsewhere in the UK with interests and expertise in drawing on evidence and insight to tackle poverty stigma.
To help us design and establish the network, we are holding an initial set-up session on Thursday 6 June, 10am-12noon on Zoom. The session is for people who are interested in helping to shape what the network could look like, how it could work and what it could and should seek to achieve.
We’re keen to hear from anyone with interests and expertise in tackling poverty stigma, whether as a practitioner, an academic or lived experience expert, or a local or national decision-maker.
During this initial session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and our collective interests and expertise in tackling poverty stigma, before discussing and sharing ideas about how the network could be run and structured, its aims and ways of working, and what it will work on.
Anyone is welcome to join us just for the initial session and there is no obligation to join the network once established. If you’re unable to join the initial session but would like to be kept in the loop, just let us know.
This session is now fully booked. If you’d like to be added to the waiting list, please email info@wcpp.org.uk
