What role does #Parliament play in shaping #SocialPolicy?

I explored that with #Professor Barn and #students at @royalholloway.bsky.social during a lecture and Question & Answer session.

Excellent discussion and questions, and I hope some of them will be inspired to go into public service.

New paper alert!
Karlis Laksevics and myself focus on the structural conditions of worktime reduction in different European welfarestate & time-regimes.

Community needs change, and services need to be able to adapt.

Supporting organizations to learn, adjust and develop new approaches helps communities respond to change while preserving the local knowledge that makes services effective.
