Values Based Briefing
Any competent policy professional can produce a briefing for decision-makers or your members. However, you may find that not all such briefings are in tune with your organisation's values. With over 35 years experience of working on poverty and inequalities (including racism, sexism, equal pay, ablism and health inequalities) you can be assured that any briefing you commission through myself will be drafted in line with your values and wishes.
Influencing
I am a very experienced influencer who has led, or worked in partnership, in several highly successful lobbying campaigns. These campaigns delivered significant, positive, changes for disabled people and others living in poverty. For example, on welfare reform legislation; the Bedroom Tax; the Social Care (Self Directed Support) Act; the Social Security (Scotland) Act; the Child Poverty (Scotland) Act and the Scottish Child Payment. I am also known personally to many policy and decision makers who recognise me as an expert in my field.
Training
Regularly requested to make keynote addresses to national conferences and events I am a very experienced public speaker and trainer. Feedback from participants complements my ability to make often complex issues and information accessible to varied audiences of professionals, activists and the wider public.
