Information about the family
We looked at a variety of sources for information and opinion about the family when writing The family and the left, some of which I list here.
The
Relationships Foundation has published research and opinion on the role of the family. We also looked at what the
Centre for Social Justice has been saying on the subject. We paid particular attention too, to the perspectives and information presented by
Gingerbread and also
Families Need Fathers. We looked at what the Labour Party and Conservative Party are saying about the family and the policies they have to address the issue. We took inspiration from
The Audacity of Hope by President Barack Obama and
Seven ways to change the world – reviving faith and politics by Jim Wallis of
Sojourners. We found the perspectives on politics and the language of the family of George Lakoff in
Thinking Points made us reconsider how we thought and spoke about this issue.
