The PSE website
This website is part of a major research project, Poverty and Social Exclusion in the UK (PSE: UK), funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. It is a major collaboration between the University of Bristol, Heriot-Watt University, The Open University, Queen's University Belfast, University of Glasgow and the University of York working with the National Centre for Social Research and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency.
The PSE site provides a comprehensive research tool including a searchable digest of recent news stories and reports on poverty and social exclusion in the UK.
More results from the PSE: UK research will be coming soon.
