What Danny Alexander should have said at the “What Works” launch
Four more "what works" centres have been announced.
Evidence-based policy making took a significant step forward on 4 March with the announcement of four more “what works” centres to join NICE and the Education Endowment Foundation. At the launch, fronted by Danny Alexander and Oliver Letwin, the right points were made about the need to base policy on good evidence. But the announcement was weak on measures to address the gap our work identified on demand.
