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 are not publicly available; as well as numerous factsheets, information sheets, briefing papers and other materials published under that organisation's banner but with no named author. Unpublished, commissioned, examples include the two interim reports (2018, and 2020) co-written with Imogen Blood and Mark Robinson as part of our ongoing evaluation of the 2017-2021 Arts Council/ Baring Foundation funded programme of 32 arts projects with older people.
Between 2015-2016, I was an occasional blog contributor to a site about the Care Act 2014, Schwehr on Care.
I'm a member of the Society of Authors.
