Publication Of The Wresinski Approach

EDM number 719 in 1990-91, proposed by John Battle on 17/04/1991.

That this House welcomes the launch by ATD Fourth World of the report 'The Wresinski Approach: the poorest - partners in democracy', written with the collaboration of very disadvantaged individuals and families from throughout Britain; welcomes the attention drawn by this report to the wishes of very poor people to be considered partners rather than recipients in anti-poverty programmes and recognises the effectiveness of drawing on the understanding and efforts of the very poor themselves in determining and evaluating measures to combat poverty; recognises the effectiveness of building bridges between Government departments in providing the essential basic securities that everyone needs to live decently and contribute to the life of the community; believes this Report to be crucial reading for Ministers responsible for education, employment and training, housing, health care and social security and the support of families; and invites the Government, as a matter of urgency, to study the proposals and recommendations of this report in order to reinforce present efforts to understand and overcome poverty in Britain and Europe.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
