Core values

- **Addressing Poverty**: The JRF's "Talking about Poverty" project aims to change public attitudes and policy discussions around poverty, which is a critical societal issue. It has been effective in creating a more coordinated movement and influencing public discourse and policy[2].
- **Real-time Data and Policy Impact**: The R.A.P.I.D. dashboard provides real-time data on poverty rates, helping to identify vulnerable groups and inform tailored programs. This data-driven approach can lead to more effective policy interventions[4].
- **Public Attitudes and Policy Change**: JRF's work on understanding public attitudes helps shape policy development and public engagement strategies, which can lead to sustained action by governments and other bodies to address social issues[5].
