Research and Campaigns

Our award winning Research and Campaigns team is a vital element of Citizens Advice work.

We examine the policies and issues which have a negative effect on people’s lives and lobby central and local government, public agencies and business for change.

Working across the county, the Research and Campaigns Team provides data and evidence to highlight underlying problems and feeds-in to national data collections and campaigns. In 2022/23 we published major reports on the Effects of Hidden Homelessness in Cornwall and on the freezing of Local Housing Allowance by central government.

We also published a hard-hitting report on police handling of domestic abuse and stalking victims, which won the Campaign of the Year Award from national Citizens Advice.
