Manchester, United Kingdom, May 16, 2012 --(PR.com)-- POLICYfinder, powered by Idox Information Solutions, is a specialist and innovative web portal providing the ultimate one-stop-shop of policy information from European down to UK local level, offering a concise overview of the current policy world. Now housing in excess of 4,000 policy documents, it enables users to search across policy information published by the European Commission, UK Government and other major funders in the public, private and voluntary and community sectors, covering a variety of subjects ranging from Housing to the Environment.

What’s more, with a separate consultations section, stakeholders are able to understand, inform and influence the development of local, regional, national and international policy.
