Life on a low income: How can you use Resolve Poverty's Poverty Monitor to support anti-poverty efforts in your area?

Join Resolve Poverty for a free webinar session, exploring how to use poverty data effectively to inform local anti-poverty action.

About the webinar

In this webinar, we'll explore how to use data effectively to inform local anti-poverty action. Using the latest edition of the Resolve Poverty Poverty Monitor , we'll explore key poverty indicators across the North West and demonstrate how data can be used to support evidence-based decision-making, policy development and service design.

The webinar will also explore the value of combining lived experience with quantitative data to develop an understanding of how to tackle poverty.

During the webinar, there will also be opportunity to ask questions.

Meet the speakers

The webinar will be led by Tom Pottrill, Policy Officer, from Resolve Poverty, who will share practical ways of using data to inform local anti-poverty action.

They will be joined by guest speakers Eve Little from the UK Data Service, and Prof. Chris Lloyd from Queens University Belfast who will bring their specialist expertise on poverty and deprivation data. 

Eve Little will provide expert insight into national poverty datasets, including the Households Below Average Income (HBAI) dataset, and demonstrate how these can be used to strengthen local anti-poverty work.

Prof. Chris Lloyd will introduce the Ethnic Group Deprivation Index (EGDI), exploring how deprivation varies between ethnic groups across small-area geographies in England and Wales and how this can strengthen understanding of inequalities within communities.
