The project is supported by a Research Advisory Group. The group consists of representatives from a range of policy areas leading on key system-change policies on child poverty across Scottish Government.
The role of the Research Advisory Group is to offer insights, advice, feedback and contacts that ensure high quality and robust search is completed. Specifically, group members are expected to:
- Bring their knowledge and expertise to inform the work
- Share with RAG members any developments or research exercises that could inform or supplement the evaluation
- Identify any risks and issues which impact on the evaluation and to propose actions for mitigating and resolving these
- Provide constructive challenge and advice
