| Abstract | Since the late 1990s the rhetoric about evidence-based or research-informed policy making has become much more widespread. The New Labour Government in England, in particular, is keen to state that its policies are based on sound evidence, collected through appropriate research. However, there is much debate about whether research should be designed to support the policy making process directly or whether a wider research focus is justified. Where it is decided that a research aim is to inform policy making, then the routes towards ensuring the findings are listened to, and used appropriately, are complex. There are few guarantees that research will have the intended impact, and in some cases it may even have negative or unintended consequences. |
