Publications
This page holds a record of many of my publications - in addition to which, between 200I and 2004, I was the Editor of the journal Working with Older People.
Over the years 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.
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.
