General Election - STEP launches Manifesto

February 04 2010

STEP’s UK election year manifesto, “Helping Families Secure Their Future -an agenda for policymakers" 

The next few months in the UK are clearly going to be closely fought politically. Whatever the political claim and counterclaim, the reality is that the financial crisis means that whoever wins the approaching election will need both to repair the public finances and ensure that families are well placed to support themselves as much as possible through what could remain difficult times in the broader economy.

Helping families from every walk of life secure their financial future, in both good times and bad, is what STEP members do.

We have therefore drawn together our memberships’ practical knowledge of the real problems confronting many families, often at times of great personal difficulty, emotional challenge and complexity, to draw up an agenda for policymakers – of whatever political persuasion - over the lifetime of the next Parliament.
