AnnotationWhat real voice do people with direct experience of poverty have in research and inquiry into poverty? These findings outline research by Fran Bennett and Moraene Roberts published as 'From input to influence: participatory approaches to research and inquiry into poverty' by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF). "Participatory" approaches respect the expertise of people with direct experience of poverty, and give them more control over the research process and more influence over how findings are used. The researchers examine the issues when principles turn into practice. Their study looked at four examples of participatory practice: 'Poverty first hand' by the Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG); the World Bank's 'Voices of the Poor'; the work of the Commission on Poverty, Participation and Power; and ADT Fourth World's Pooling Knowledge on Poverty. (RH).
