What a view! Happy to be back in Llandudno for the launch of the @openuniversity.bsky.social @taipawb.bsky.social report into Tenants’s experience of decarbonising social housing. @policywise.bsky.social we’re looking into how the findings can be shared across UK/Ireland.

Following yesterday’s @policywise.bsky.social post on devolution I reflected on a 2024 highlight presenting to 170+ civil servants at #DevoLearningWeek. Delivering clear explanations is critical for accurate reports, & effective policy-making.

Snow over Belfast this morning, far away enough to be pretty but not cause chaos to travel (fingers crossed)

Seeing the bridge being built to link the North and South sides of Carlingford Lough - such a sign of the progress that has been made here.

Ahead of our Belfast round table I spent the night with family in Co. Louth - election fever is hotting up

Question of the day for my fellow policy travellers - is it time to break out the big coat? @policywise.bsky.social is on the road again.

PolicyWISE have only been going for around a year and yesterday I was so pleased that we were shortlisted for a research excellence award for our work to improve knowledge exchange with Professor Adams and the POST unit at HoP. Here’s the certificate to prove it!
