Handbag sized policy

This months social policy newsletter from the Mothers’ Union is available here – policy_watch_july_2009 – and includes news of our new handbag sized guide to ‘doing’ social policy and making a difference for your community.

The Social Policy Toolkit gives clear explanations as to why and how Mothers’ Union members want to make a difference through forms of government in the UK, Europe and the UN.

Other information in this months ‘Policy Watch’ includes news of what is needed for government to achieve the aims of its Child Poverty Bill, and what Mothers’ Union members think about how pregnant workers can be supported.

There is also information about how you can respond to government requests for people’s views on family related issues, via our social policy briefing papers.
