Summary:

This is the interim report from a nine-month project, funded by the Insight Infrastructure Team at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation,to identify and highlight statistical and data gaps relating to UK poverty. We have looked at the impact that data gaps have on poverty researchers, civil society organisations and the communities they serve, and how we can better use data to support policymaking and research on UK poverty.
