Our research has provided evidence that has informed policies for tackling disadvantaged communities. Our research in DECE covers a wide range of issues that are relevant to overcoming disadvantage. Innovative research methods and approaches have helped us in understanding the underlying reasons for the patterns of attainment by poverty.
