The Centre for Public Impact, with support from the Minderoo Foundation, is designing a learning programme to help policymakers integrate the voices of children and carers into policymaking. After interviewing more than 30 leading-edge practitioners and academics and learning alongside nine teams across two cohorts, we invite you to join us as we share what we have learnt and discover what you can do to better tackle this challenge.
In this session, we will discuss what you can do when:
- What counts as evidence is too narrow to accommodate diverse perspectives, which are often communicated through storytelling and practitioner experience.
- Diverse voices are easy to overlook when traditional research approaches—such as surveys, impact assessments, or other externally defined metrics—fail to represent them.
- Systems, cultures, and structures undermine good policy by prioritising efficiency over effectiveness and transactional relationships over trust-building.
- Trust, relationships, and networks are critical: no policymaker can keep up with all the latest research, but a broad understanding of diverse research is vital to developing evidence-informed policy.
