What this episode covers
This week, Brodie Gillan is joined by Emma Congreve, Hannah Randolph, and Christy McFadyen to reflect on their recent trip to the Social Policy Association Conference 2025, held in York. The team discusses key themes from the conference, including big-picture issues around employment, child poverty, and the links between housing and health—drawing on research they presented during the event. The episode also touches on broader policy discussions, such as Labour’s first year in government and the ongoing debate around tax reform and a potential wealth tax.
