Location
Room 1.50, Edinburgh Futures InstituteStudies of UK social policies that fail to understand the multi-level competencies and policy differences of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland may contribute to creating a ‘scalar fallacy’ of a single and unified UK welfare state.
This workshop brings together researchers from across the UK whose work provides insights into the scale and nature of UK welfare rescaling by examining sub-national, devolved and local employment and social security policies. The event seeks to share research findings, stimulate discussion, and consider social policy futures.
