We’re launching a new site to help people investigating issues relating to the welfare system.
Help Me Investigate Welfare is published by Chie Elliott, who is investigating the end of the Travel to Interview scheme.
Chie will not just be blogging about her progress but also broader information about the welfare system itself, including useful data and information; profiles of key individuals; the laws and regulations that affect welfare; and updates on welfare-related stories and investigations both in the mainstream media and blogs.
The site is part of the new Help Me Investigate: Networks project.
Working with Chie are Teo Beleaga, Kristina Khoo and Charlotte Hawkins. They are looking for contributors so if you want to know more about the welfare system – or have experiences you’d like to share – let them know.
