Policy in Practice Founder and Director, Deven Ghelani and Client Services Manager, Abigail Everett spoke at at Digital Leaders Week, the UK’s national week supporting digital transformation.
Listen back to Policy in Practice’s session to explore the transformative power of technology and data in improving lives. Deven and Abigail shared highlights from our groundbreaking report Missing Out: £19 billion of support goes unclaimed each year. It is shocking that such a huge sum of money is left on the table at a time when many families continue to struggle with the cost of living crisis.
This unclaimed benefits gap has far reaching implications for social outcomes, as high living costs and historically low benefit levels place a heavy burden on low and middle income families.
Understanding the scale of unclaimed benefits and identifying those who are missing out, and why, is crucial for designing effective policies and proactive interventions.
At Policy in Practice our mission is to empower people by working with local authorities, housing providers, charities, water companies, energy companies and firms across the financial services sector to make real change in people’s lives. We do this by using our expert policy knowledge to build informed and intuitive data driven analytics and software tools. We empower our partners to identify and support vulnerable members of their communities more effectively.
Listen back to learn about the cutting edge strategies employed by Policy in Practice to close the £19 billion unclaimed benefits gap.
