🤝 Polling suggests that people in Wales expect to see improved partnership working between the governments of the UK. A @_policywise guest article considers the future of intergovernmental relations in the UK 👇 tinyurl.com/bddvafc7
As the dust begins to settle on the election results, join us for an online discussion on Tuesday reflecting on what happened & what’s next. In partnership with @_policywise Director @chrisdeerin will be joined by @ailsa_henderson, Jane Runeckles, @anwen_elias and @eliz_lloyd .
Elections are coming next month, but the UK still struggles to learn from its own policy successes. In a new piece for Civil Service World, Catherine argue this isn’t about evidence, but incentives, systems, and political will.
"Policy differences are still treated as a problem to manage, rather than a practical tool for improving policymaking" civilserviceworld.com/news/article/w…
Join us on 20 April at 1.30pm for an online discussion looking at school education in Wales & Scotland ahead of the election. This is a joint discussion with @_policywise. Full details and to sign up: enlighten.scot/event/online-e…
Our latest guest blog from Dewi Knight, Director @_policywise explores new polling undertaken by PolicyWISE and what it shows about the attitudes held by those living in Scotland in relation to how @GOVUK and @scotgov work together. ow.ly/MsFk50YrO6t
Our Director has been sharing his thoughts with @HEPI_news about what the next @WelshGovernment (whatever it may look like) needs to set up to support students in Wales.
New Post: Welsh Week: a little less conversation please… buff.ly/uqxXuBj
Governments in Scotland, Wales and Westminster are failing to deliver on the public’s priorities because they don't work together, according to new polling. Just 26% of Scots and 20% of people in Wales believe devolved and UK Government cooperate. policywise.org.uk/news/public-co…
Public confidence in intergovernmental working across the UK is worryingly low. walesonline.co.uk/news/politics/…

🎉 Highly commended! Delighted that PolicyWISE was runner-up in the ‘One to Watch’ category at the first @SmartThinktanks awards - just 2 years since launching our site, newsletter & WISE in 5s. What an adventure improving understanding of devolution! More to follow...
Following our recent report by @WLDGH, which argued for a change to the school calendar, Dewi Knight from @_policywise outlines the attempt by the Welsh Government to make similar changes. Read the full article here: enlighten.scot/reform-of-the-…
"When digital spaces become unsafe, people can lose anchors that supports their wellbeing. The impact does not stop when the screen turns off." Dr Zhraa Alhaboby, @ZAlhaboby, from @OUBelfast, is this week's guest writer on Pivotal Platform. pivotalpolicy.org/our-work/pivot…
During #HateCrimeAwarenessWeek, we spotlight new @OpenUniversity research by Dr Zhraa Alhaboby on cyber-victimisation of disabled people in Northern Ireland. 1 in 3 disabled adults face online abuse – most without support. It’s not just a digital safety issue. It’s a public health crisis. Read the blog published by @pivotalpolicy: ow.ly/z2vU50Xcma0 @ZAlhaboby @VictimSupportNI @HCASNI @_policywise

Devolution is in focus ahead of elections in Wales, Scotland & mayoralties increasing in England. We worked with @BennettInst to explore why the Council of the Nations and Regions matters, its purpose, the English dimension & lessons from abroad.
Drawing on in-depth research, Alex Walker & @michaelkenny_ set out why the Council of the Nations and Regions matters for devolution in times of political fragmentation. In a new blog, they discuss what’s needed to make it work. bennettinstitute.cam.ac.uk/blog/why-the-c…
