Research & policy

In late 2008, TACT expanded its range of work and opened a new external affairs department. As well as providing fostering and adoption services, we now also seek to raise awareness and understanding of issues facing those in care and their carers. TACT’s External Affairs department undertakes research and develops policy in order to influence politicians and other policy makers. Much of this work also feeds into the TACT's press and campaigning work, which can be located here.

TACT is Big Lottery funded! TACT and the University of East Anglia (UEA), welcome new Big Lottery Fund Research Programme grant for a study of looked after children and offending. The grant will support an 18-month research project ‘Looked after children and offending: identifying risk and protective factors’. Read the full press release (PDF, 2 pages, 72KB).
