The aim of this network is to bring together academics, practitioners and policy makers to develop and share research on concerns relating to the question, 'How can the Church play a more mainstream and significant role in public debate on population and responsible parenthood?'

Over the coming months, we intend to develop this site as a resource for all Catholics seeking to make an informed contribution to the Church's policies and practices around issues of human well-being, the family, population and development. Please go to the links above to find out more about specific issues.

Our first project is to develop a resource relating to the October 2015 Synod on the Family, including guidance for those wanting to respond to the questionnaire being circulated in preparation for the Synod.
