Publications
This page lists various of my publications - in addition to which, between 200I and 2004, I was the Editor of the journal Working with Older People.
I've also written a large number of commissioned reports that have been used internally by those organisations and so not published, as well as factsheets, information sheets, briefing papers and other materials that were published with no named author.
In 2015, I joined the blogging team on Belinda Schwehr's site about implementation of the Care Act 2014, Schwehr on Care; and I'm a member of the Society of Authors.
