Rt Hon Iain Duncan Smith MP, CSJ Chairman, Philippa Stroud, CSJ Executive Director, and Dr Stephen Brien, (pictured) Chairman CSJ Economic Dependency Working Group presented the findings of the report to an audience of 60, including Shadow Ministers, MPs, civil servants, researchers and other think tanks.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling MP is hosting an event at the Conservative Party Conference this year and would like to invite you to participate. The Conference Extra event at the Great Hall, Manchester Town Hall, is on 'The Human Cost of Crime', and will discuss the aftermath of a crime, how it affects its victims and how to help them rebuild their lives.
The CSJ co-hosted three events at the Labour Party Conference this week. Pictured is former CSJ Advisor Tim Montgomerie with Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Yvette Cooper discussing how best to beat poverty after the credit crunch along with representatives from Child Poverty Action Group, the Fabian Society and CentreForum.
