My recent research has been used in several impact and engagement activities, and I am working towards a follow-on impact case study for the REF 2021. Recent impact activities (see <here>) include invited talks at the Departments of Health, and for Work and Pensions, the House of Lords and a Joseph Rowntree Foundation report, commissioned for their anti-poverty strategy. Other impact activities include invited talks at the Chinese Ministry of Finance and the Italian Social Security Institute (INPS) on policy reforms of disability benefits and social care; and a report I am co-authoring with the SCOPE charity on the costs of disability among working-age population.
