What makes FaithAction different as a network:  FaithAction has adopted a Solution Focused approach to all work.

FaithAction recognises that not all policies that the Government put out or suggest are right for everyone or the answer to every organisations problems.  However, FaithAction works to an ethos of being a solution focused network.  FaithAction will play a critical friend role to Government when it is needed, however with every suggestion, FaithAction aims to have a solution.
