CSJ Alliance charities have often been the first to raise the alarm about a particular issue, which then helps to shape CSJ research – bringing charities’ real-life experience into national policy-making. Here are just some examples of the policies brought to life by CSJ Alliance voices:

Universal Support: Inspired by charities like the Oldham-based Focused Care, and with the backing of many others, our policy of Universal Support will help thousands of vulnerable people into work.

Attendance Mentors: We recommended the introduction of Attendance Mentors to help families and schools to get children back into education. Originally inspired by School Home Support, the Government adopted this recommendation and committed £15m to reach 10,000 more children.

Day Release: Work with Alliance charities including The Recruitment Junction, Tempus Novo and Clean Slate Solutions, the Ministry of Justice has now expanded the use of day release for prisoner work placements as recommended in our report, ‘Unlocking Aspiration’.
