At HudCRES, we want all of our research to achieve ‘impact’ – for our findings to inform and result in improvements in social and educational policy and practice at local, national and international levels. 

Each of our Policy Briefing documents offers a very short summary of the focus, methods and key findings of our research in a specific area, with links to full research reports and articles and details of the researchers involved. In particular, they highlight evidence-based recommendations relevant to policy and practice.
