Political mapping consultancy with Telescope
Well Adapt did some political mapping work with Telescope. We went through Labour’s manifesto to map out their promises vs what they actually did once they got into power.
Who Is Telescope?
Telescope is an organisation that connects people with different perspectives (such as key workers, policymakers, charity workers, and service users) to government decision makers.
What Was The Purpose Of The Research?
We completed this political desk research because when the new Labour government came into power, Telescope didn’t know what the priorities of that government were going to be. They wanted to prepare for Labour’s policies to continue their work on engaging with key workers.
What Did Well Adapt Do?
Well Adapt went through the entirety of Labour’s manifesto to identify the key things that Telescope were interested in and then we mapped out what Labour had said in their manifesto about that area, what they’d actually done so far, and whether it looked like they were actually going to keep that promise. We also mapped out who we thought was in charge of each area at multiple levels (e.g. MPs and heads of department, policy officers in the civil service), who we thought would be good contacts and noted any contact information for them.
This consultancy project was based around health and social care, which aligns with Well Adapt’s work in this area.
