ENGAGING WITH THE PUBLIC
The School of Sociology, Social Policy and Social Work is very committed to ensuring the use-value of our research. We actively engage with government and policy makers, NGOs and other user groups at local, national and international levels. Our significant public service roles at each of these levels mean that our research has considerable impact outside of the academy as well as within.
