Summary/Abstract: Caritas Europa regularly calls on its member organisations to reflect developments in social policy at the national and European levels and subsequently applies the valuable insight provided by such grassroots organisations. In 2015 the result of the latest such assessment consisted of the completion of a report called Caritas Cares. In its conclusions, it appeals for specific changes which it considers would bring about an improvement in terms of the current social situation in the areas of poverty and social exclusion. A similar report published by Caritas Europa as early as in 2014 was more focused on the socalled "European Semester" and its Strategy for 2020. The results from all the various European states are available in the Caritas Cares Report 2015 which was issued in March 2016.
