The School of Social Policy is one of the leading centres for applied social policy in the UK. It is committed to spanning the divide between academia and practice and to applying its research through teaching, publications, consultancy and policy advice.
IASS's research and teaching interests range widely across the fields of social policy, social care and health and professional practice. It maintains close links with the other main disciplines in the Social Sciences and has well established links with social care and health agencies in the Midlands and with community, user and voluntary organisations regionally, nationally and internationally.
HSMC is one of the leading centres specialising in policy, development, education and research in health and social care services in the UK. Its prime purpose is to strengthen the management and leadership of these services and to promote improved health and wellbeing.
