Our search facility includes several hundred pdf files from our archive, going back twenty years or more. This includes the ‘What we’ve said‘ archive of consultation responses going back to 2011, plus Insights and Newsforum archives back to 2004. Search includes all 463 articles, topic tags and events.
Our search results are configured to return the most recent matches by default, but the results page provides the toggle buttons shown for ‘best match’ too, because in the fast-changing world of government policy-making, older results rapidly become less relevant, but the best, most relevant information remains important for research.
