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 publically available; as well as numerous factsheets, information sheets, briefing papers and other materials that were published under an organisation's banner but 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.
