We also develop Working Group reports as one of our most important functions. They draw on the expertise and advanced thinking of our membership with an in-depth look at specific topics; reflect best practice and make recommendations for reform in policy and practice
Insights and reports are available on our web site and circulated directly to all of our members.
Although some insights and reports go back some time we have included them where we believe the findings still have relevance today.
