This event will look at what’s going wrong with policy making and explore panellist’s thoughts on how to fix it. Half of the people coming to us for help with debt have a negative budget. We’re also supporting more and more people who haven’t come to us before, like mortgage holders and those in full time employment.
We’re continuing to help record numbers of people access food banks. Policy changes and government support have helped bring these numbers down slightly, but they’re still alarmingly high. So what’s the answer? How do we fix broken policy making?
A recording of this event will be available afterwards for anyone who was unable to attend or would like to watch it back. You can find out more about our cost-of-living data dashboard on our blog Our Data – We are Citizens Advice and if you haven’t already, do also register for our November event here.
