Social Work and Social Policy
Our research in social work and social policy is innovative and benefits from expertise across many fields, with a strong commitment to reflecting the realities of people’s lives and providing a foundation for the development of policy and practice.
In the 2014 Research Excellence Framework we submitted 30 staff under Social Work and Social Policy; 57% of our submission was assessed as internationally excellent or world leading, with 94% internationally recognised. We were particularly commended for the wider impact of our research.
