The UK’s social policies are not developed in siloes. At WIG, we know engaging key stakeholders across the public, private and not-for-profit sectors is vital.

During the pandemic, challenges for crime and justice, skills and education, and health and social care provision have been brought into sharp relief. The UK’s social policies are not developed in siloes; engaging key stakeholders across the public, private and not-for-profit sectors is vital. Co-creating solutions is top of the agenda.

In this series we create a trusted arena, bringing experts together to drive constructive dialogue around core issues for UK society, namely:

  • Health and social care
  • Skills and education
  • Crime and justice
  • Political and economic outlook

Each area is comprehensively researched by the WIG team, utilising ideas and feedback gathered from across our membership.
