Abstract
This proposal is for a National Research Centre (WISERD/Civil Society) to undertake a five year programme of policy relevant research addressing Civil Society in Wales. Established in 2008, WISERD provides an 'All-Wales' focus for research and has had a major impact on the quantity and quality of social science research undertaken in Wales. As part of WISERD, WISERD/Civil Society will enable this work to be deepened and sustained through a focused research programme that further develops our research expertise, intensifies our policy impact and knowledge exchange work and strengthens our research capacity and career development activities. WISERD/Civil Society will therefore aim to develop key aspects of the multidisciplinary research initiated during the first phase of WISERD's work to produce new empirical evidence to inform our understanding of the changing nature of civil society in the context of devolved government and processes of profound social and economic change.
There are many disagreements over what civil society is and how it may be changing. We do know that over the last forty years there have been unprecedented changes in the spheres of economy and industry, politics and governance, social relations and individual life courses. How individuals in local contexts are affected by and respond to dramatic institutional changes is not well understood. An important gap in our knowledge is in describing and explaining the impact of social change on local forms of civil society and civil society organisations and what this means for social cohesion and well-being. In addition how different forms of civil society are developing in the context of multi-level and devolved government is not well understood. Because of its size and devolved government, Wales offers a unique context for studying these issues. Viewing Wales as a 'laboratory for social science' the proposed centre will build on existing networks of researchers who have a wide range of expertise and skills. Large survey data sets will be exploited and analysed and new data collected on civil society in Wales, the UK and Europe. Inter-disciplinarity and multi-method approaches applied to longitudinal and comparative data will be a key feature and strength of the WISERD/Civil Society research programme. Our research will be underpinned by three principles: (i) to maximise research impact, (ii) to become a centre of excellence for comparative, longitudinal, and relational research methods and (iii) to contribute to the growth of research capacity in Wales. We will also extend our research out from Wales to undertake comparative studies at different regional, national and international levels. In this way WISERD will make substantive and novel contributions to the advancement of social theory applied to researching contemporary civil society and to methodological approaches to describing and explaining patterns of civic participation in the context of devolution and multi-level governance. Substantive research will be applied to real and timely research problems conducted under four inter-related themes:
Locality, Community and Civil Society
Individuals, Institutions and Governance
Economic Austerity, Social Enterprise and Inequality
Generation, Life Course and Social Participation
Our aim will be to produce a wide range of outputs accessible to a variety of different audiences, including: academic papers; books; working papers; seminars; web based material; video and e-learning materials; as well as disseminating our work through a diversity of activities. Public awareness will be raised through events; activities; and exhibitions, designed to foster interest and encourage discussion and debate. WISERD/Civil Society will have a strong management structure, substantial institutional support, and close links with relevant organisations, and will provide substantive career development for new and early-career researchers and PhD students.

Planned Impact
Who will benefit?
We will target four key beneficiary groups; (i) Researchers and research networks; (ii) Policy makers and national and local government; (iii) Third Sector and Civil Society Organisations and (iv) the General Public and Communities.
How will they benefit?
Findings from the multidisciplinary research programme will advance knowledge and stimulate further research and debate across wide range of academics. We will create a rich and vibrant research environment, involving networks of national and international academics, with a strategy to disseminate research and knowledge as widely as possible by means of a series of targeted events, published outputs and the use of social and digital media. We will make a rich set of new data available to the academic community. We will implement a five year career development programme aimed at newly appointed researchers and established investigators within WISERD/Civil Society participating institutions. We will establish a network to bring researchers together from the four UK nations focusing on devolution and civil society. Specific research capacity activities will include three grant-linked PhD studentships and, in collaboration with the Wales DTC & the White Rose DTC, a substantial cohort of further funded studentships. Early and mid-career researchers will be given responsibility for work packages with mentoring and support from senior researchers. Our international links will provide advanced and specialist training for staff and academics in the thematic networks. We will provide strong web-based engagement and dissemination and e-learning opportunities across a wide range of levels from secondary schools to advanced postgraduate training and specialist teaching. All new and early-career researchers will be expected to contribute to planning meetings, seminars and joint Seminars with Government departments. Where events and seminars and publications are being planned new researchers will be partnered with senior researchers to deliver outputs as part of a research management development plan. We will organise reciprocal internships and placements for programme staff in civil society organisations and the Welsh Government. Policy actors will therefore benefit from access to the research process (planning; interpretation of findings; and access to data for further research) and from access to preliminary research findings. In close collaboration with the new Public Policy Institute for Wales we will inform Welsh Government priority areas from a civil society perspective. A comprehensive impact strategy will range from programme level events and activities (conferences, seminar series, training courses) undertaken on a rolling annual basis to key impact targets for each of the individual work packages within the research themes (including research and policy output workshops, web based and social media dissemination and public engagement activities) to be delivered within defined timescales. Third sector and private organisations will benefit from a clearer understanding of how their work is related to wider aspects of civil society and forms of social capital. This will lead to an increased focus on evidence and will inform and improve plans to deliver services more effectively and efficiently and to work more closely with the social enterprise sector. We will also work with third sector organisations and groups to develop learning opportunities particularly within policy research, comparative research and analysis of Welsh data. Through our emphasis on user involvement, engagement and co-production the public and communities will benefit from an independent and challenging research programme, focused on the social outcomes of civil society processes, that produces evidence on the inter-relationships between individuals and institutions, and disseminates that evidence back to the general public in diverse and usable formats.

| Description | Overall, we have found that that the extent and nature of civil society engagement is highly uneven along a number of dimensions: i) locality and community; ii) institutions and forms of governance; iii) economic change; and, iv) across the life course. Key findings from theme 1 show how diverse localities are shaping local civil society participation both over the long term and in response to catalysts such as the refugee crisis and Brexit; the importance of social media in facilitating connections among civil society groups that are both local and global; and how civil society actors may or may not be able to influence the development of city-regions. In particular, findings from in depth comparative ethnographies indicate that attachments and relationships to place continue to provide an important basis for local voluntary activity. These place-based attachments can act as both a resource and a barrier for the nurturing of an inclusive civil society. Key findings from theme 2 reveal the key role played by inter-personal and institutional trust in 'mixed economy' modes of welfare delivery; how governance complexity is undermining transparency and citizen awareness; and issues of limited third sector capacity to deliver social care in rural areas. Comparative research within Europe, Africa and Asia has also shown there is a strong and growing demand for more diverse and effective forms of citizen and civil society engagement to increase levels of trust and engage an increasingly diverse, busy and complex urban population. We also show how schools and other institutions are key in supporting civic engagement. Key findings from theme 3 highlight the important economic role played by social enterprises during austerity, make important contributions to methods of spatial analysis of social outcomes and have provided new insights into regional variations in trade union membership and how these impact on associational life. This theme has a particular concern for inequality and research has delivered important findings on public sector pay. In relation to trade union membership, we have explored reasons underpinning the underpinning the path dependence of regional variations in trade union membership. Finally, innovative spatial analysis has been used to reveal the uneven accessibility of public services, such as childcare provision, in Wales. Key findings from theme 4 include how different intergenerational processes and life-course events promote and inhibit civic engagement and patterns of volunteering. We have found, that regular contact with grandparents is associated with what are described as pro-social behaviours. Research across three generations has shown the importance of the intergenerational transmission in determining dispositions that might be significance for civic and political engagement. Of particular importance is the participation of older people in civil society. Moreover, whether and how often an older person volunteered was found to depend on his or her concern and interest in nurturing and guiding future generations. Finally, methodological developments and data integration work are led by the WISERD data portal (http://dataportal1-wiserd.cf.ac.uk/). This plays a key role in the research infrastructure for Wales and offers unique resource facilitating knowledge exchange about civil society to civil society. |
| Exploitation Route | Findings from theme 1 have the potential to contribute to policy-making at local, Wales and UK scales. In particular there are three key contributions: a) informing strategies to encourage and support volunteering and community participation; b) informing policies and civil society actions to promote social inclusion and integration of international migrants; c) contributing to enhanced civic engagement in local and regional governance. The research on human rights under theme 2 is informing consultations with EHRC, the House of Commons, and the UN. Our development of network-based GIS modelling can be taken forward to identify regional variations in a range of public service provisions and has the capacity to indicate how to optimise the future configuration of facilities to address a wide range of performance goals. Research on pay differentials in theme 3 has influenced Welsh Government, ONS and UK Treasury thinking. Work from theme 4 offers the potential to understand the benefits and disbenefits of voluntary work throughout the life course, to see how policy can best support older people in reconciling competing demands of grandparenting and civic engagement, as well as illuminating the (unintended) consequences of school strategies to promote young people's civic engagement. |

| Description | The ESRC WISERD Civil Society programme has built on the strong foundations of WISERD's earlier ESRC investments to develop and consolidate impact-related activities designed to benefit various public, professional and policy communities at local, national and international levels. In the following section we draw out the impact 'highlights' of our research. Theme 1 The findings are significant for outside agencies engaged in delivering support and public services. Research teams in theme 1 have engaged with various stakeholders to support the dissemination and use of findings in a number of ways. Following their research on civic participation in two communities in north Wales, researchers have been asked by charity Local Trust to bring their experience of ethnographic, place-based research to explore patterns of local participation in Big Local project areas. Each Big Local area has been allocated £1m of Lottery funding to support people to make sustainable change in their community. Theme 1 researchers have also been consulted by the National Lottery Community Fund Wales (previously the Big Lottery Fund Wales) on the development of their Rural Programme. Research findings on civil society work with refugees and asylum seekers has been discussed with government and civil society stakeholders in Wales, with interest from the Home Office on drawing lessons for the Community Sponsorship Scheme. Research on European migrants' engagement with civil society has been shared with policy-makers and civil society groups and has been incorporated into a report on 'Rural Policy in Wales After Brexit' as part of a UK-wide series launched at the House of Lords. Research on the role of civil society in the UK's city region building agenda has contributed to government policy making through contribution to a Select Committee and a submission to the RSA's Inclusive Growth Commission. Theme 2 The research on human rights under Theme Two is shaping policy and practice through engagement with bodies like the Equality and Human Rights Commission, House of Commons, and United Nations policy consultations/ calls for evidence and has led to successful GCRF funding for a new research network exploring civil society human rights advocacy in India and Bangladesh. Work has been cited in wide range of policy reviews and consultations. We have placed strong emphasis on engagement with stakeholders with workshops and presentations to national and local voluntary organisations in Wales and beyond. An event for young people, practitioners and Welsh Assembly members led to the creation of a memorandum of understanding which was later presented to the Minister for Lifelong Learning. Our work on trust and transparency within the context of multi-level governance in Europe has led to debates about how to rebuild citizens' confidence in democracy. Internationally, our work on civil society and equality in emerging economies has opened up debates about the disparity between policy and practice and what can be done to address these inequalities. Findings from this aspect of our Programme have been disseminated to leading politicians and policy-makers - notably, at the colloquium on 'Les paradoxes confiance-transparence/Trust- Transparency Paradoxes' held at Sciences Po Lyon, 04.05.2018 Theme 3 Since its inception WISERD has undertaken path breaking work on labour markets and under the WISERD Civil Society Centre our research is making an important contribution to debates and policies addressing the growing labour market inequalities associated with globalisation and austerity. On the policy front, research on public sector pay has produced a range of key findings and is cited in a number of government reports. Strategies to protect the rights of workers with disabilities have also been developed as a result of our recent research and are being currently being fed into government policy and employer practice through the provision of evidence to the Work and Pensions Select Committee and All Party Parliamentary Group on Disability. In terms of civil society organisations, we are working closely with trade unions in order to improve industrial relations and workers' rights at global and local levels. This research should help focus trade unions both in terms of enhancing their capacity to exert influence over political-economic institutions and in terms of supporting their own membership more effectively. Our research has also informed a revision of official statistics related to trade union membership - this followed our raising questions about the way the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) produces statistics regarding the membership of trade unions within the UK and has led subsequent revisions of estimates of trade union presence. The GIS modelling of childcare provision has informed the choice of pilot areas that are now being used to trial a roll-out of the Welsh Governments 'flagship policy' regarding the free childcare offer. Theme 4 WISERD Civil Society research has enabled us to examine how different life-course events promote and inhibit civic engagement. These insights have been fed into a range of activities with policy makers and third sector organisations with the aim of addressing barriers to participation. In terms of civil society organisations, research on 'serious leisure and the 'grey economy' involves working with voluntary sector organisations, such as the Botanic Garden of Wales and the Royal British Legion in order to help them develop strategies to support volunteering for older citizens. Our work on young people's civic engagement and the counterproductive implications of 'compulsory' volunteering have been fed back to the Welsh Government. In addition, our analysis of the significance of intergenerational transmission for passing on 'civic virtues' will be used to advocate for schools to better utilise the capacity and contribution grandparents make on children in their own activities. Methods and Data Integration Pathbreaking GIS research on mapping accessibility to services has had considerable impact in policy terms and on methodological developments. A Research project looking at developing innovative methods of measuring accessibility to sports facilities in Wales using network-based GIS approaches has been undertaken with Sports Wales helping them with sports management and planning. We have leveraged in additional research funded by the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW) in relation to the Welsh Government's free childcare offer to provide a better understanding of the current availability of childcare services across Wales. Detailed spatial analysis of variations in childcare provision in Wales has highlighted those areas where there appears to be considerable under-provision of service and is helping the government deliver its manifesto commitment to develop free childcare placements for working parents. The Chief Social Research Officer (Welsh Government), has drawn on WISERD research examining implications of using alternative approaches to measuring accessibility within indices of deprivation. The WISERD DataPortal continues to have impact both by providing a unique data service to civil society organisations and through a secondment to the National Assembly that has developed a constituency mapper tool. Data are mapped for Wales' geographic areas, such as constituencies and regions. This interface offers staff within the Assembly, including those responsible for scrutinising Welsh Government policy, such as Assembly Members, Assembly Member Support Staff and the Research Service, a unique opportunity to see the spatial variation of a number of key indicators across Wales, providing a better understanding of areas where policy decisions may have the greatest impact. The WISERD data portal also has strong links with the new ESRC Housing Research Centre and through the CaCHE Data Navigator - a web-based software application which will enhance a researcher's ability to discover housing and housing-related data, - will facilitate the re-use and re-purposing of existing data. WISERD is building on the work undertaken under this funding to extend and deepen the impact it has already achieved and to create new forms of impact through its current programme of research which can be followed in the reporting for research project WISERD Civil Society: Changing perspectives on Civic Stratification and Civil Repair (project reference ES/S012435/1). |

As well as offering a more effective way of providing information to migrants especially at a critical time (ie during Brexit negotiations), this also led to Home Office being more aware of the wide and diverse range of organisations that existed in Wales. |

| Policy Influence Type | Influenced training of practitioners or researchers |
| Impact | Research funded by Sport Wales (under the Illuminate scheme) to create a bespoke Add-In tools for ESRI's ArcGISTM Desktop software that enables the Welsh Government to gain evidence of the most appropriate places to allocate funding to sporting infrastructure. This has demonstrated the benefits of such techniques in assessing patterns of sporting provision as part of wider investigations concerned with examining the impacts of geography on levels of sport participation. The software developed during the course of the research is to be used by up to 40 separate affiliated sport governing bodies, providing them with greater insight into demand for their facilities. As an example, Welsh gymnastics have used these tools to review spatial equity of gymnastics facilities and coaching levels based at Welsh centres to inform their policies going forward. Sport Wales uses the tool to advise the Welsh Government about where public sector funding should be invested in order to deliver the greatest benefit. Once these tools become more widely available they will enable the potential for further collaboration between those organisations charged with promoting sports participation and health. |

| Impact | The workshop was delivered by WISERD (Dr Wil Chivers) in collaboration with the Social Data Science Lab (Dr Matthew Williams, Dr Luke Sloan, Cardiff University) 18 people attended a one-day workshop and the audience consisted of academic researchers from local universities, researchers from the Welsh Government and third sector organisations. The day consisted of two parts: in the morning a general overview of using social media in social research, an outline of current research that has used social media, the ethical implications of using social media and in the afternoon, a practical session demonstrating and allowing attendees to practice with two pieces of software for conducting social media data collection and analysis (COSMOS and NodeXL). Feedback was received following the event and was very positive; the content of the sessions was found to helpful and informative and the chance to experiment with the software was very much enjoyed. There appears to be an appetite for a similar event in 2017, which may take the form of a repeat event at another location or a follow-up session looking at some of the software/tools in more detail. The event has also resulted in establishing new contacts in the Welsh Government who I will be meeting in November to discuss their intended use of social media research methods. |

| Impact | Amy Sanders (PhD Student, Work Package 2.2, Chaney et al) has been on internship with Wales Council for Voluntary Service (WCVA) since 2nd January 2018. Her role is to support WCVA in its review and development of the Third Sector Partnership Council (TSPC), which is the primary mechanism by which the Welsh Government engages with the Third Sector, as described in the Third Sector Scheme as part of the Welsh Government's obligations to the third sector though the Government of Wales Acts 1998 and 2006. She has been doing this in three ways; (1) She has designed and co-facilitated an event with the TSPC members, consulting them about their views of the engagement mechanisms over the last 20 years of the partnership and its future trajectory, which she has developed into a report that consolidates the views expressed by the members. (2) She has had one to one meetings with the key WCVA staff who enable the TSPC and associated cabinet secretary & ministerial meetings to produce a second internal report for WCVA capturing their staff's expertise on the future trajectory of the engagement mechanisms. (3) She has been developing a literature review for WCVA policy development that highlights the key academic theories associated with the themes drawn from the other two reports. |

| Impact | The event (and subsequent briefing report) focused on the evaluation of impact of linguistically-orientated youth work. This event, convened by Elin Royles, Rhys Jones and Fiona O'Hanlon (with support from WISERD), was held in Urdd Gobaith Cymru's centre in Cardiff. Representatives of the linguistically-orientated youth work sector from Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and the Basque Country attended the event. A bilingual briefing report was produced on the basis of the main findings of the two-day event, entitled Evaluation, Impact and Outcomes in Working with Children and Young People in Regional and Minority Language Revitalisation Efforts. We have some feedback that many of the organisations attending the event have begun to adopt the good practice that was shared as part of the event. For instance, Urdd Gobaith Cymru have incorporated the Most Significant Change method and the Theory of Change as tools to enhance the evaluation of their work. |

| Geographic Reach | Local/Municipal/Regional |
| Policy Influence Type | Influenced training of practitioners or researchers |
| Impact | Elin Royles and Rhys Jones organised and ran, in conjunction with the Council for Wales of Voluntary Youth Services (CWVYS), two training sessions for youth work practitioners. The training was designed to help youth workers to reflect on how they measured and evaluated the impact and outcome of their work; and to use this training in order to develop better mechanisms for measuring impact. The training session was run twice, in Cardiff and Llandudno, to ensure a good geographic coverage. Feedback on the session was very positive from the attendees and from CWVYS, the body responsible for coordinating youth work in Wales. There is already evidence of how the training session has led to a positive change in how youth organisations measure the effectiveness of their work. For instance, Urdd Gobaith Cymru (a youth organisation with approximately 50,000 members in Wales) is using the most significant change method, which was described and discussed in the training session, as a way of measuring the impact of their work on young people. A policy briefing document was produced on the basis of the two training sessions and this has been distributed to practitioners and other stakeholders in the youth work sector in Wales. |

| Description | Rhys Davies (WP3.3) - Enquiry on the quality of official statistics related to Trade Union membership in the UK |
| Geographic Reach | Multiple continents/international |
| Policy Influence Type | Implementation circular/rapid advice/letter to e.g. Ministry of Health |
| Impact | The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy is responsible for the production of statistics regarding the membership of trade unions within the UK. Trade Union Membership (TUM) was first published in its current form in 2004 and has been published each year since. The majority of the statistics are compiled from data provided from the Labour Force Survey (LFS), run by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Trade union membership statistics are presented by occupation, industry, and descriptors such as age, sex, ethnicity and geography. Statistics are given on trends in membership numbers, trade union presence within a workplace, and collective agreement coverage. The statistics are used by policy colleagues for drafting advice about trade union membership to Ministers, and in communication with the International Labour Organization (ILO). The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) uses the statistics for research, policy development and briefing members about the state of union membership in GB. The Trades Union Congress (TUC) uses the statistics to identify areas of low membership, for example, in particular regions and industries. The data are also re-presented by OECD on its labour statistics pages, which provide comparable statistics across the member countries. Analysis of LFS data conducted during my research raised concern regarding the quality of official statistics related to trade union presence. Those respondents to the LFS who do not provide a valid response to the question on trade union presence are still included in the population of employees upon which estimates are based. They are therefore treated as if they would have reported in the LFS that no other employees at their workplace were members of trade unions or staff associations. If these groups were excluded from calculations of union presence (as is normal practice with the treatment of missing data), estimates of trade union presence derived from the LFS would increase by approximately 7-8 percentage points and would be consistent with estimates derived from other sources. Following an assessment of my evidence, submitted via the UK Statistics Authority, colleagues at DBEIS issued the following responses. On Trade Union Presence, we have investigated the calculation that has been used in the publication to derive this statistic, and have concluded that, as you say, the statistic does include in the population individuals who do not provide an answer to the question on whether there are people in the respondent's place of work that are members of a trade union (TUPRES). Having assessed these data, on balance we agree that this should be revised to exclude those who do provide an answer of 'no' to the question on trade union membership (UNION), but don't provide an answer to TUPRES. We will make this change and present a revised series in the next publication of TUMS, due towards the end of May. [On Trade Union Coverage] we acknowledge that we could be clearer in the statistical bulletin about what is actually being measured by this statistic, and will revise our presentation of it to make clearer that we are talking specifically about agreements between the employer and the trade union/staff association directly affecting pay and conditions. Revised trade union membership statistics were published in May 2018. The following statement was included witihn the Tecnhnical Annex (p51). "Prompted by correspondence with Rhys Davies of the Wales Institute for Social and Economic Research at Cardiff University, BEIS reconsidered the calculations used to estimate union presence in the workplace from the Labour Force Survey data..After examining the data, on balance BEIS decided that it would be more appropriate to exclude those who did not provide a valid response to the TUPRES question from the population used to estimate union presence. The new method excludes this group from the estimates of union presence". The effect of the change has been to increase the rate of union presence by 8 percentage points, roughly equivalent to 2 million employees, a result which has stimulated debate within the trade union community. |

| Title | Dr Jean Jenkins - Digital survey for capture of fieldworker case notes |
| Description | A detailed digital survey has been developed in collaboration with our Indian research partners. The survey has been designed to enable fieldworkers to record and maintain case note information through a combination of tick box, text box and voice to text options. |
| Type Of Material | Improvements to research infrastructure |
| Year Produced | 2019 |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | This survey enables a level of data capture that would be impossible secure through the use of a handwritten paper surveys and it provides an efficient, cost effective method for secure and systematic record keeping. |
| Title | Dr Jean Jenkins - Digital survey tool for the capture of fieldworker case notes |
| Description | In collaboration with our Indian research partners, over the past four months we have been developing technology and tools to facilitate the capture of fieldworkers' case notes. This is a developmental process which is undergoing change in real time. While this is perhaps not strictly an output of the project at this point, it should be noted that it has been discussed in meetings with other civil society actors in Bangalore. Key actors have expressed interest in the technology and it will be actively shared with them in the course of our research. |
| Type Of Material | Improvements to research infrastructure |
| Year Produced | 2019 |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | The method and associated use of technology will help ensure that case note data is collected efficiently and that its security and integrity are maintained. There have been learnings about developing bilingual virtual surveys and voice to text software. The use of both the technology and the systematic collection and organisation of the data that this survey method allows are enabling ourselves and our project partners and fieldworkers to develop the skills and knowledge to use this type of methodology. UK academics and third sector practitioners have also expressed an interested in understanding and using these methods in the future. |
| Title | All eyes on TGI Fridays: Sustained collective action and its representation, twitter data 2018 |
| Description | We collected all tweets containing the hashtags relating to the strike action (#AllEyesonTGIs, #TGIStrikeDays and #TGIFairPay) over a period of four months. The All Eyes on TGIs project was developed as a response to a forthcoming series of strikes by TGI Friday's employees in the UK, organised by Unite the Union. An initial strike took place in London and Milton Keynes on the 18th May 2018, combined with a public meeting at the offices of Unite in London, and supported by other service sector employees including those from McDonald's who had also been on strike on two occasions prior. Following this, a series of strikes on consecutive Fridays was planned for the coming months. The project aimed to contribute to our existing work on online collective action around the 'McStrike' by exploring the ways in which subsequent campaigns were launched with their own online repertoires of action. Tweets were collected from the Twitter Streaming API using the COSMOS software. The data set includes all tweets containing hashtags relating to the strike action (#AllEyesonTGIs, #TGIStrikeDays and #TGIFairPay) over a period of four months from the start of the strike on 18th May 2018 until 16th September 2018. As a result, a sample of 17,711 tweets was collected. The majority of tweets in this Twitter dataset (17,373, 98.1%) are English language. COSMOS identified 78 tweets in 10 other languages and 260 tweets were categorised as 'Undecided'. |

| Impact | The CaCHE meta-database is still in development and will not have notable impact until later in the project |
| Title | Contesting the Trade Union Bill, twitter data 2016 |
| Description | The project explores conversations occurring on Twitter concerned with the passage through Parliament of the Trade Union Bill in 2015/16. The bill was the subject of a good deal of scrutiny from trade unions, their members and a variety of other individuals and groups. Collecting and analysing tweets containing the hashtag '#TUBill' over a period of two months formulated new insights into the patterns of connectivity between key actors in the Twitter network as well as the content of these online conversations. Tweets were collected from the Twitter Streaming API using the COSMOS software. All tweets containing the hashtag '#TUBill' were collected over a period of two months (12th February 2016 - 12th April 2016). As a result, a sample of 13,053 tweets was collected. The majority of tweets in this Twitter dataset (12,758, 97.7%) are English language. COSMOS identified 63 tweets in 11 other languages and 232 tweets were categorised as 'Undecided'. |

| Title | Fast food shutdown: Collaborative collective action in the service sector, twitter data 2018 |
| Description | The Fast Food Shutdown project was developed as a response to a forthcoming day of action organised by the Independent Workers of the World union on the 10th October 2018. We collected all tweets containing hashtags relating to the various groups of employees taking part in the action: McDonald's (#McStrike), UberEats (#UberEatsStrike), Wetherspoons (#Spoonstrike) and TGI Fridays (#AllEyesonTGIs), as well as the hashtag for the event #FFS410, which was designed to reflect the core demand for £10 per hour minimum wages as well as the date of the action. Tweets were collected over a period of 15 days before, during and after the event. Tweets were collected from the Twitter Streaming API using the COSMOS software. All tweets containing hashtags relating to the various groups of employees taking part in the action: McDonald's (#McStrike), UberEats (#UberEatsStrike), Wetherspoons (#Spoonstrike) and TGI Fridays (#AllEyesonTGIs), as well as the hashtag for the event #FFS410, which was designed to reflect the core demand for £10 per hour minimum wages as well as the date of the action. Tweets were collected over a period of 15 days before, during and after the event (26th September 2018 - 10th October 2018). As a result, a sample of 59,321 tweets was collected. The majority of tweets in this Twitter dataset (57,349, 96.7%) are English language. COSMOS identified 805 tweets in 26 other languages and 1,167 tweets were categorised as 'Undecided'. |

| Title | Investigating platform cooperativism: Resistance in the digital economy 2018-2019 |
| Description | This project explored the extent of platform cooperativism in the UK. The research specifically sought to investigate platform cooperatives working to provide alternatives to existing 'gig economy' platforms or in the area of cooperative technology, digital design and data ownership, as well as the wider network of organisations supporting them. A series of interviews was conducted to understand the types of organisations working in this area, why they are doing so, how they have gone about carrying out their work, and the challenges they have faced. This collection contains five semi-structured qualitative interviews. The sample consists of two individuals working within existing platform cooperatives in the UK and four individuals working for organisations supporting the development of the (platform) cooperative movement. Interviews were carried out either in person or via Skype and Zoom. Participants were given a short introduction to the study and consent was obtained prior to the interview being recorded. Each interview lasted approximately one hour. |

| Title | McStrike: Trade unions, collective action and social media, twitter data 2017 |
| Description | The 'McStrike' project was developed as a response to a forthcoming strike by McDonald's employees in the UK on the 4th September 2017, organised by the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU). All tweets containing the hashtag '#McStrike' over a period of 21 days before, during and after the strike were collected. Applying qualitative content analysis and social network analysis techniques, the project contributed new insights into the processes and practices of online collective action. Tweets were collected from the Twitter Streaming API using the COSMOS software. All tweets containing the hashtag '#McStrike' over a period of 21 days before, during and after the strike were collected (24th August 217 - 13th September 2017). As a result, a sample of 94,706 tweets was collected. The majority of tweets in this Twitter dataset (90,266, 95.3%) are English language. COSMOS identified 1,675 tweets in 30 other languages and 2,765 tweets were categorised as 'Undecided'. |

| Title | The producers and users of research: Academic and civil society perceptions of research impact in a devolved Welsh context 2015-2018 |
| Description | This collection contains 11 qualitative interviews. The aim of the project was to examine different discourses surrounding impact as a phenomenon in civil society through academic, third sector and political actor perceptions of the way in which research impacts upon policy and society. The project considered the potential users of research, focusing on a case study of development workers and civil servants working on the Welsh Social Policy 'Communities First' over 18 years. Face to face interviews were carried out with each participant, mostly individual but in one case three people together. A researcher went to meet participants in a convenient location for them. The interviews were recorded once consent was given. Interviews lasted between approximately 40 and 120 minutes. The sampling design was based on a previous piece of research interviewing development workers and civil servants working on the Welsh Social Policy 'Communities First' over 18 years. Participants were selected from valleys, rural and city geographical case study areas in Wales. |

| Impact | The Welsh Government, Westminster Government and UK Research Councils are all encouraging social science researchers to use existing sources of data where-ever possible. This includes large scale survey data collected by Government (eg Census; Labour Force Survey; National Survey for Wales); bespoke surveys undertaken by local authorities and other organisations (eg housing needs surveys; Active Adults Survey); administrative data routinely collected by various organisations such as civil society and third sector groups as part of their daily functions (e.g. volunteering data; homelessness figures; data on disadvantaged groups); and data collected by University researchers on funded projects. One real issue with using these data is a lack of knowledge of what data are available, whether it is fit for the purpose of the proposed research, and how to access the data. The WISERD DataPortal, specifically the meta-database, has been designed to make answering some of these questions easier. Researchers can use the web-application to access rich standards compliant meta-data on a wide variety of data sources. This encourages the re-use and re-purposing of existing data. |

| Title | WP1.1 Researching civil participation in Wales, in place and over time 2014-2017 |
| Description | This work package undertook 20 life history/narrative interviews, capturing experiences and biographies of key individuals who run local associations and who work to involve others. A questionnaire survey was also conducted at each site. We payed particular attention to trust in social organisations, and how social identities and inequalities shape local civic relations. This project aimed to connect the biographical elements of participation with the organisation and long-term implications of volunteering. It examined experiences of participation at the local level and what they tell us about the changing patterns of mobilisation in particular places in Wales. Fieldwork took place in North and South Wales. This collection contains 20 face-to-face qualitative interviews undertaken using the autobiographical narrative interview technique. The interviews start by asking about the life story in general then, in the second half of the interview, we clarified the issues and asked more specific questions. The sample was obtained using purposive and snow-ball sampling of civil society organisations. The questionnaire survey was collected as a street survey, conducted by an interviewer at each of the locations. Surveys were also distributed within the civil society organisations and via the Bangor University online survey system. The sample was obtained using purposive sampling and the sample size is 132. |

| Title | WP1.2 Redefining local civil society in an age of global interconnectivity 2017-2018 |
| Description | A series of interviews were conducted with participants in local organizations and stakeholders in three localities that are engaged with global issues. Issues include refugees and asylum seekers; the environment, including climate change and anti-plastic campaigning; and food, including food banks and food waste. The three localities are Aberystwyth, Mumbles (Swansea) and Splott (Cardiff). The resource also includes transcripts of interviews with stakeholders in these places. This project explored how imaginaries and practices of local civil society have been stretched and reconfigured by global interconnectivities, including both the reorientation of local civil society activities around global issues and concerns, and participation in local civil society by individuals outside the locality, for instance through social media. This collection contains 20 semi-structured qualitative interviews. Interviewees were identified through contact with key organisations, information from the media and the web, and snowballing recommendations from other participants. Face-to-face interviews held with individuals at agreed locations (including offices, private homes and public spaces). Questions followed indicative schedule of topics asked by interviewer. |

| Title | WP1.3 Migrants, minorities and engagement in local civil society 2016-2017 |
| Description | This quantitative analysis was built upon by conducting a series of semi-structured qualitative interviews with A8 migrants about their roles in civil society. These were individuals based in the case study areas. This research examined the nature of involvement with various groups, and how these may lead to ties with particular localities and communities. The study focused on three localities across Wales; one urban, one rural and one semi-rural. A mixed methods approach was employed. Initial statistical analysis used data from the UK Census, going back to the 1950s, to examine the impact of in-migration on the demographic profiles of the case study areas. The Citizenship Survey was then used to attempt to discern the different rates of participation of A8 migrants, other migrant groups and UK born residents in local communities. This collection contains 20 semi-structured qualitative interviews. Interviewees were identified by first identifying groups which were visibly targeted towards including migrants in Wales. The full sample was then obtained via snowballing techniques. Interviews were conducted face-to-face or via Skype. In a small number of cases, where this was not possible, interview responses were obtained by email. |

| Description | Interviews took places across four city regions, two within Wales and two within England. Interviews focused on the role of civil society within discourses of economic development and devolution. This project examined how different city regions are implementing policies related to a localism agenda. It was particularly interested in what this means for economic development and civil society. Stakeholders were interviewed in relation to the development of city-regions in Wales and England. This collection contains 62 semi-structured qualitative interviews. Face-to-face interviews were undertaken with either individual respondents or pairs of respondents. The sample was created using the snowballing method. |

| Title | WP2.1 Higher education and civil society 2016-2017 |
| Description | Interviews were conducted with two groups of graduates: graduates from the 'elite' system who graduated in the 1980s; and graduates from the 'mass' system, who graduated in the 2000s. This project explored the relationships between participation in higher education and engagement in civil society, especially at the local level. More specifically, it examined the extent to which a shift from an 'elite' higher education system (when a minority of the population participated in higher education) to a 'mass' higher education system (when roughly half of the population participated in higher education) has effected the roles that graduates play in the formation of local civil society. As part of this analysis a series of in-depth, semi-structured interviews were undertaken to find out how graduates engage in local civil society (clubs, organisations, institutions outside the family or work). This collection contains 46 semi-structured qualitative interviews.15 of these interviews were conducted with graduates aged 50-60 from the 'elite' system of higher education. 31 were conducted with graduates aged 30-40 from the 'mass' system of higher education. The sample was a purposive sample and participants were recruited to the research through a snowballing recruitment method. Face-to-face interviews were conducted either in the home or workplace of the participants or the workplace of the researcher. A small number of interviews were conducted via Skype. |

| Title | WP2.2 Territoriality and third sector engagement in policy-making and welfare provision 2017-2018 |
| Description | In-depth semi-structured interviews focused on understanding the experiences and perspectives of third sector representatives, regional development staff, local authority officers and representatives of national third sector organizations and policy actors. These interviews were conducted across four case study regions in Wales based on the following Regional Partnership Board (RPB) areas: North Wales; Mid and West; Cwm Taf; and Gwent. Actors from a number of national agencies were also interviewed.This project investigates how the territorial administration of the third sector in Wales has changed over the post-war period in response to shifting patterns and processes of governance. Additionally, it explores how this has affected the way third sector organizations shape and deliver welfare. More specifically, our research investigates the distinctive Welsh policy context and how state and third sector actors were responding to the Social Services and Well-Being (Wales) (SWBA) Act 2014, which ascribed a specific role to the third sector. This collection contains 51 semi-structured qualitative interviews. 36 of these interviews were conducted as part of the regional case studies, and 15 with national agencies. Purposeful sampling was used to identify key individuals from the four case study areas, and interviewees from organisations with similar characteristics were deliberately selected in each area. Key policy agents at a national level were also selected using a purposeful sampling technique. Face-to-face interviews took place in a workplace setting. Most interviews were undertaken with individuals but in some cases multiple participants were interviewed at the same time. |

| Title | WP2.3 Education, language and identity 2015-2018 |
| Description | A mixed methods approach was adopted, with the project undertaking qualitative interviews and a questionnaire survey. The interviews were conducted with policy-makers, teachers and young people in both Wales and Scotland. These focused on the link between education, minority languages and identity in both countries. Key themes include the use of minority languages in different settings (Welsh and Scots Gaelic), as well as the institutional support provided for the use of these languages by the schools. The interviews also address the link between minority language use and identity, as well as broader connections with other practices, including volunteering. This project investigated the types of civic participation and conceptions of language and identity promoted within the statutory education system, and within civil society organisations working with young people. The research took place in both Wales and Scotland. The questionnaire survey was conducted across a series of schools in Wales, focusing on the link between education, minority languages and identity. Key themes include the use of minority languages in different settings, the link between minority language use and identity, as well as broader connections with other practices, including volunteering. This collection contains qualitative interviews and a questionnaire survey. These data were collected in 14 schools, seven in Wales and seven in Scotland. Schools were chosen on the basis of their geographical location (e.g. rural/urban, island/metropolitan, within/outside of the Welsh-speaking 'heartland'), their linguistic characteristics (e.g. differing levels of support for the Welsh language in Wales) and their social characteristics (e.g. affluent areas, deprived post-industrial areas). Face-to-face interviews were conducted in school with students and teachers. A researcher attended each school and gave a short introduction to the study. They then arranged a follow-up interview. Once the schools had been identified, students within these schools were recruited for interview at random. In total, 90 semi-structured qualitative interviews were undertaken. 69 of these interviews were conducted in Wales, with 32 conducted in English and 37 in Welsh. Three of these were with teachers and 66 with pupils. In Scotland, 21 interviews were conducted in English. The questionnaire survey was conducted in the sampled schools in Wales. Teachers helped to identify suitable classes within each school. Three schools encouraged pupils to complete the questionnaires in their own time and response rates were lower here. The sample contains 147 pupils. |

| Title | WP2.4 Building trust? Institutions and interactions of multi-level governance in the UK 2017-2018 |
| Description | A series of semi-structured qualitative interviews were undertaken with civil society stakeholders as part of this project. This project explored the role of trust and transparency within the context of multi-level governance. The research examined the interplay of trust and transparency within the UK. The project focused on one strong identity and one 'instrumental' region to explore the impact of factors such as varying identities, institutional configurations and resource profiles on trust and transparency. Interviews were conducted across two areas: Wales and the North West of England. This collection contains 39 semi-structured qualitative interviews conducted with third sector stakeholders. 21 of these interviews were conducted in Wales and 18 were conducted in the North West of England. The sampling was a purposive sample of civil society organisations across a range of policy sectors. A researcher visited Wales and the North West of England to undertake face-to-face interviews. These were conducted at either Cardiff University or the interviewee's place of work and lasted between 30 and 90 minutes. |

| Title | WP3.2 Implications of spatial and temporal variation in service provision for inequalities in social outcomes 2014-2019 |
| Description | The study carried out analysis of existing secondary sources of quantitative data in order to investigate levels of social capital within communities in relation to changing levels of provision of key public services. The study built on WISERD's previous research on the use of enhanced two step floating catchment area (E2SFCA) techniques to examine small area variations in accessibility. Part of this work involved the computation of geographical accessibility scores for all lower super output areas (LSOA) in Wales. These scores were computed for nine services: public libraries; leisure centres; post offices; primary and secondary schools; petrol stations; general practice surgeries; pharmacies; and food shops. For the purposes of comparison, access scores have been generated using three alternative approaches to measuring geographical accessibility; (1) minimum distance to nearest provider, (2) local cumulative opportunity, and (3) enhanced two-step floating catchment area (E2SFCA) accessibility. More information about each of these metrics is available in the technical documentation accompanying this collection. The geographical accessibility scores were derived from locational data and population data obtained from various sources, including: the Office for National Statistics; Ordnance Survey; the National Health Service, Welsh Government; and Sport Wales. Population data are the total usual residential population obtained from the 2011 UK Census for Output Area (OA) population weighted centroids. All computations are based on a transport model that assumes travel is exclusively by private car passing through a road network model constructed with Ordnance Survey's Open Roads product. Travel times along each road network link is based on national speed limits being applied according to the road's classification. More detailed information on the data sources used to calculate these scores is available in the technical documentation accompanying this collection. |

Originally developed in the context of incorporating public transport timetables into calculations of accessibility, this research has been extended to include a wider range of services and those that are included in the calculation of the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD). Subsequently our research has been incorporated into the consultation documents describing proposed indicators for the updated version of the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (2019) the official measure of deprivation used to allocate programme funding and aid Government policy in Wales. A parallel exercise utilising the same data sets used to calculate the new index (published in November 2019) will be conducted in Spring 2020 with the aim of impacting on the processes involved in planning future implementations of the WIMD. |

| Title | WP3.3 Trade union membership, associational life and well-being 2016-2017 |
| Description | Interviews were undertaken with trade union officials in to ascertain whether there are links between someone joining a trade union and their family history, or the history of the place where they live. Interviews focused on the participant's experiences of trade unionism, their reasons for joining a trade union and what trade unionism meant to them. This project explored geographical variations in trade union membership in Wales. Previous WISERD research in South Wales suggested that collective understandings, rooted in an earlier period of unionisation, are spilling over into the contemporary period. This project specifically investigated the concept of 'spillover' and whether geographical variations in membership levels can be attributed to differences in the nature and activities of trade unions and the attitudes of employers and workers. We also considered how mechanisms of intra-generational and inter-generational transmission and geographical mobility relate to variations of trade union membership. The project also examined how trade unions (and their form) contribute to other dimensions of social capital and whether there is geographical variation in this. The project adopted a mixed-methods approach, combining secondary quantitative data analysis with qualitative interviews. This collection of qualitative interviews was produced as a result. This collection contains 41 semi-structured qualitative interviews. Purposive sampling was undertaken for the identification and selection of information-rich cases related to the geographical variations in the trade union membership phenomenon. This involved identifying a selected sample of trade union officials living in South Wales. The sample was designed to include a range of communities and trade unions. Face-to-face interviews were conducted at a time and location of the participant's choosing. A brief introduction to the study was provided before completing the interview. |

| Title | WP3.4 Equality, diversity and third sector welfare provision |
| Description | The Equality, Diversity and Third Sector Provision project was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council to explore the relationship between the welfare provisions of faith organisation and what that means for civil society. The qualitative interviews, observation and group interview were conducted with representatives of faith organisations, and explored their view of civil society and the impact this has on equality and diversity. Nine interviews were carried out face-to-face and recorded. Notes and recordings were taken during the observation. Researchers met with individuals who represented faith groups and carried out semi-structured interviews. We carried out a series of workshops in 2015/16 giving research training to third sector organisation which led to us gaining a network to draw on. We also contacted a number of organisations via the Charity Commission and then used a snowball techniques associated with grounded theory. |

| Title | WP4.2 The intergenerational transmission of civic virtues: The role of the family in civil society engagement 2016-2017 |
| Description | As part of this project survey data was collected from children age 13-14, their parents, and their grandparents. Questions explored family relationships, and values and practices linked to civil society (including volunteering, political views and engagement, and environmental beliefs). The data from three generations can be linked together to explore the transmission from one generation to the next of those skills, dispositions and values that foster civil society engagement. Within the social science literature, the relationship between the family and civil society is complex and contradictory. While some theories place the family as the cornerstone of civil society, others put the family firmly outside civil society. Indeed, it is often argued that strong family ties weaken, rather than strengthen, the development of a strong civil society. This project sought to address these arguments through some badly-needed empirical evidence of how and whether 'civic virtues' are passed down (or otherwise) from one generation to the next. The data on children were collected using a paper based questionnaire completed by school pupils in a classroom. A researcher attended each school and gave a short introduction to the study before giving pupils up to one hour to complete the questionnaire. Letters were sent to the parents and grandparents of children who had completed this questionnaire. They were invited to complete paper based surveys, returning them in prepaid envelopes, or to use a QR code to access a digital version of the survey. The survey could be completed at their leisure. We incentivised participation with a prize draw of vouchers. We opted not to contact parents and grandparents of a minority of children (n=3) who indicated they were not living with any family members. The sample size of each of the three surveys is as follows: Children (975); Parents (109); Grandparents (53). |

| Title | WP4.3 Ageing, serious leisure and the contribution of the grey economy 2016-2018 |
| Description | Interviews were conducted with 'older' (60+) volunteers working at a range of community organizations across mid Wales. Community organisations included a village community hub, the National Botanic Garden of Wales, Newtown Textile Museam and the Royal British Legion. This project investigated the benefits of 'serious leisure' in retirement, both for the individual and for the wider communities of which they are part. These interviews explore the participants involvement in serious leisure, the purpose of their engagements and value attached to their activities. This collection contains 22 semi-structured qualitative interviews. Participants were identified and approached on a case-by-case basis. These interviews were conducted at the fieldwork locations. Participants were interviewed individually or in groups of two. |

| Title | Young people and Brexit 2017 |
| Description | Data collection consists of nationwide surveys and interviews and discussions with young people. Young People and Brexit is an interdisciplinary study of how young people in the UK feel about and are responding to the most significant policy issue of this Parliament: the UK's exit from the European Union. Drawing on expertise from WISERD and a range of organisations with expertise and interest in youth political engagement (including Youth Cymru, the National Assembly for Wales and Members of the UK Parliament) the study considered a range of issues such as the impact of Brexit on young people's broader engagement with politics and civil society; the ways they are responding to and trying to influence Brexit through their political behaviour; the consequences of the EU Referendum for young people's interest in and feelings about UK and devolved politics; the ways Brexit have forced young people to reconsider their understandings of citizenship and identity; and the impact of the EU Referendum and Brexit itself on inter-generational conflict in domestic politics. A cross-sectional survey of political attitudes, engagement and participation was conducted at around the time of the 2017 general election. These data were collected using an online questionnaire. This was circulated to the panel of the survey company YouGov, where data were collected through personal computers or mobile phones of panelists. The data were collected on behalf of WISERD by YouGov PLC. They have not made information on their sampling method or weighting procedure available. The sample size is 5,095. This collection also contains 18 qualitative interviews. Face to face interviews were carried out with each participant individually, or in groups. Interviews were also filmed. A researcher went to several venues to interview young people, for example, at schools or community centres. Participants were recruited using snowball sampling and the interviews were recorded once consent was given. |

| Description | Collaboration with Brexit Civil Society Forum, Wales - a partnership between the Wales Governance Centre (WGC, Cardiff University and the Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA). |
| Organisation | Wales Civil Society Forum |
| Sector | Learned Society |
| PI Contribution | I was PI on a grant from The Legal Education Foundation (TLEF) to support the Civil Society Forum on Brexit - Wales ('the Forum') and I am CI on a follow-up grant that extended the project. This forum is a collaboration between the Cardiff University's Wales Governance Centre and the Wales Council for Voluntary Action - the peak membership organisation for the voluntary sector in Wales. The Forum has also engaged in further collaboration with sibling projects elsewhere in the UK. Its purpose is to inform and support debate among civil society organisation in Wales in relation to Brexit and to support preparation for Brexit related changes that will impact on the sector in Wales (where is it much more heavily exposed to potential loss of EU funding than anywhere else in the UK). The project has developed the following portfolio of activities -described in the impact section below. A follow-up grant (for which I was also PI) was been awarded by TLEF to the initial award for a collaborative event bringing together projects and partners working on the implications of Brexit for the third sector across various parts of the UK. Its main activity wasan event in Belfast May 2019. £21,000 secured from TLEF - Grant Aware dates: 18/12/18 to 30/06/2019. The project's Co-I is Prof Jo Hunt and its researcher/coordinator Charles Whitmore. My involvement in this project has supported and enriched my work on my Governance and Brexit Research Fellowship. The portfolio of ESRC research has not focused much on the implications of Brexit for Civil Society - while TLEF has offered support to a suite of projects in this area. The Fellowship funds 50% of my time - in my view it is critically important that I am able to devote the other 50% of my working time to active engagement in research and research related impact that is relevant to Brexit. My credibility as a research leader depends on it. If I am also able to bring in relevant areas that are not, for whatever reason, significantly covered off by ESRC/UKRI funded projects, that is an addition benefit. The project also builds on relationships developed with colleagues at WCVA in the context of my role as a CI in the WISERD-Civil Society ESRC Centre. |
| Collaborator Contribution | WCVA is a partner in this project. It has provided support for the project researcher and facilitated connections with civil society organisations across Wales. Anna Nicholl - Director of Strategy is the key contact point with WCVA. WCVA Chief Executive Ruth Marks and Director of Operations Phil Fiander have also participated through the Forum. |

| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | Research funded by the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW) in relation to the Welsh Governments free childcare offer to provide a better understanding of the current availability of childcare services across Wales. The types of network-based GIS models developed have been used to map detailed patterns of provision that account for supply-side factors (such as total hours of opening of centres) and demand (using the distribution of working families with children in the appropriate age groups) moderated by the impact of distance. This is the first study that has investigated variations in childcare places in Wales at detailed spatial scales in relation to the Welsh Government pledge to introduce 30 hours of free childcare to all working families. The research has identified those areas in Wales where there appears to be a considerable under-provision of service. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The offer is to be rolled out in full by 2020 and would be guided in detail by the lessons learnt from pilots in seven local authorities that began in September 2017 that encompass a range of urban and rural settings and different levels of private and public sector delivery. These pilots are being conducted in specific parts of the local authorities and in order to begin to understand patterns in the availability and accessibility of existing childcare capacity in Wales, the researchers (Langford, Higgs) were commissioned to map detailed patterns of access that could inform the choice of these pilot areas that are now being used to trial a roll-out of the policy using data collated by the CSSIW. |

| PI Contribution | Tenovus have supported a Knowledge Economy Skills Scholarships (KESS II) PhD studentship (commenced October 2016) that is developing open source tools and support materials to measure geographical accessibility to screening and cancer support services using QGIS/PostGIS. Such tools are currently being used to show how GIS techniques can be used to optimise the locations of mobile cancer units run by organisations such as Tenovus. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Partners provided research support including access to data sets and expertise in the planning and provision of cancer support services. This research has the potential to contribute to debates surrounding the future provision of cancer services within Wales, the UK and internationally and will generate interest from both public and policy audiences. In particular, the tools developed will enable researchers in Tenovus to investigate the impact of spatial configurations of cancer services in a range of application areas. This will account for both supply-side characteristics (to include for example types of screening and support available and the facilities at individual sites) with potential service demand (for example in relation to spatial trends in cancer incidence) in order to provide a potentially more sophisticated measure of variations in provision across Wales. |

| PI Contribution | Research funded by Sport Wales (under the Illuminate scheme) to create a bespoke Add-In tools for ESRI's ArcGIS Desktop software that enables the Welsh Government to gain evidence of the most appropriate places to allocate funding to sporting infrastructure. This has been followed up with Knowledge Economy Skills Scholarships (KESS II) PhD studentship concerned with enhancing our understanding of access to sporting facilities in Wales through geospatial analyses. This has demonstrated the benefits of such techniques in assessing patterns of sporting provision as part of wider investigations concerned with examining the impacts of geography on levels of sport participation. Follow up research with the Administrative Data Research Centre (Wales), part of the ESRC-funded ADRN initiative, will incorporate this analysis in a wider consideration of the factors impacting on levels of sports participation and potential linkages to spatial variations in public health outcomes. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Sport Wales uses the tool to advise the Welsh Government about where public sector funding should be invested in order to deliver the greatest benefit. Once these tools become more widely available they will enable the potential for further collaboration between those organisations charged with promoting sports participation and health. Follow-up funded research commissioned by the Welsh Government in November 2017 will enable these findings to be updated with a new database of sport facilities collected on behalf of Sport Wales since the completion of our research and will enable a temporal analysis of spatial patterns in provision. Sport Wales have provided the database used to measure variations in provision. |

Professors Chaney and Sahoo said, "In the year of the seventieth anniversary of the United Nations' Universal Convention on Human Rights, and with religious freedom and gender equality being key to realising the UN Sustainable Development Goals, our project focuses on the key challenges facing civil society in an era of ongoing, deep-set patterns and processes of gender oppression and religious conflict around the world". They continued, "our attention will centre on civil society organisations' views of the key issues, areas of progress and ongoing challenges in relation to human rights advocacy and service delivery for women, girls and different religious communities our aim is to learn from practitioners and advocates - the people who really have lived experience of these issues - we will share our project findings in order to further academic and practical knowledge and - promote peace, tolerance and dignity '. The workshop discussions identified a series of challenges faced by NGOs working on these issues. Yet, it also pin-pointed several aspects that were positive - suggesting the way towards inclusive citizenship rights and sustainable development - not only in India and Bangladesh - but further afield. This project will also generate an academic research network to further understanding of international citizenship rights and disseminate project findings in the form of non-technical policy briefings and blogs. Amongst the project's forthcoming publications is a paper in the leading International Journal of Human Rights (Routledge, T & F). In a constructive, yet critical way, the paper explores the notion of citizenship rights in India today. In conceptual terms, its wider international significance lies in providing new empirical analysis of the challenges of seeking to apply UN rights agreements in a manner that respects religious particularism and the traditions of different social groups. |

It was held as part of the project 'Exploring Effective Practice in Civil Society Organisations: Promotion of Human Rights, Good Governance and Social Justice, a' project funded by the Academy of Medical Sciences and the Global Challenges Research Fund. The research is led by Professor Paul Chaney (WISERD), Dr Seuty Sabur (BRAC) and Professor Sarbeswar Sahoo (Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi). Professor Chaney argued that, in the light of recent developments, there was a need to complement human rights indicators and case law with civil society accounts of the challenges of holding states to account in relation to their international rights obligations. The workshop was hosted by the Department of Economics and Social Sciences (ESS). It heard detailed accounts of the challenges facing those concerned with promoting and upholding human rights in Bangladesh. Khushi Kabir, coordinator of Nijera Kori, noted that whilst in the past civil society primarily existed as a buffer to rights violations its role is becoming increasingly important due to the fact that the mass media, with their overarching economic and political affiliations, are no longer reporting key social issues and throwing a critical spotlight on rights observance. Leading barrister Sara Hossain also lamented the collective silence on critical social issues. She said social media, the last remaining space for citizens to voice their concerns, was being targeted by mobs replicating their violent practice on the streets.

Our external partner is Sheila Wild from the equal pay consultancy www.equalpayportal.co.uk . Sheila has worked with The Law Society, the EHRC, the NUT, TUC, the CIPR, WAVE Wales, Eversheds and BITC. Sheila is widely acknowledged as one of the UK's leading experts on equal pay issues, having first headed up the EOC / EHRC's strategy in respect of equal pay claims. |

| Title | Understanding Welsh Places |
| Description | Understanding Welsh Places is a web application designed to be the first point of call for statistical information about towns and communities in Wales. Carnegie UK Trust and the Institute of Welsh Affairs worked with representatives from the public, private and third sectors to develop a plan for the website. The development of the site itself was undertaken by WISERD in conjunction with the Carnegie, the Welsh Government and the Centre for Local Economic Strategies. The web application provides useful data and geographical information about towns in Wales through a series of graphics and maps. These are intended to help stakeholders, policymakers, civil society groups and the general public identify opportunities to make a difference in their local area. The site includes a series of demographic and socio-economic indicators about a sample of over 300 towns in Wales (towns with a population of over 1,000 people). Users can compare and contrast these places, using the tool to identify and share best practice between areas with similar characteristics. |
| Type Of Technology | Webtool/Application |
| Year Produced | 2019 |
| Impact | Understanding Welsh Places was launched in October 2019 and the event was attended by over 100 people from a range of sectors and disciplines. Since then, the site has received follow-on funding from Welsh Government and Carnegie for further development. |

| Title | UnionMaps |
| Description | UnionMaps presents estimates of trade union membership for detailed geographical areas. The figures are derived from the Labour Force Survey, the main source of data used in the production of official statistics for union membership within the UK . Based upon 18 years of LFS data covering the period from 2000 to 2017, estimates of trade union membership are provided for the Unitary Authority and Local Authority Districts of Great Britain: there are over 400 such areas. Estimates are presented for each of the three main measures of union membership Union density: The percentage of employees who are a trade union member. Union presence: The percentage of employees who are a trade union member or who are employed at a workplace where others are members. Union coverage: The percentage of employees who report that pay and conditions are agreed in negotiations between their employer and a trade union. Simply click on the map or use the search tool to produce area reports of union membership for a particular location. Alternatively, use 'Map the data' to see how the different measures of union membership vary across Great Britain. For access to the full data, please refer to the Research Note Geographical Variations in Union Membership. |

| Title | WISERD Data Portal |
| Description | The WISERD Dataportal is a web-based software application which will enhance a researcher's ability to discover socio-economic research data, with the aim of encouraging re-use and re-purposing of existing data. The Wales Government, Westminster Government and UK Research Councils are all encouraging social science researchers to use existing sources of data, such as large scale survey data, bespoke survey data, administrative data and data collected by university researchers. One issue with using these data is a lack of knowledge of what data are available, whether it is fit for the purpose of the proposed research, and how to access the data. The WISERD Dataportal has been designed to make answering some of these questions easier by proving access to meta-data on a wide variety of data sets. As well as providing access to meta-data, where possible the WISERD Data Portal also provides access to existing data through various APIs, such as the NOMIS API. Thus far the software has been developed with a focus on data relating to Wales. Further developments are expected over the course of the project. |
| Type Of Technology | Webtool/Application |
| Year Produced | 2015 |
| Impact | The WISERD Data Portal is still in its development stages but has received encouraging feedback when showcased to potential user groups, such as various third sector and government organisations. |

| Results and Impact | I was invited to provide a Keynote at the Family Health over Lifespan Conference in Groningen on data I used for my PhD research. I addressed two main questions in my Keynote: First, can a trend towards family relationships which are characterized by more frequent exchanges of care or support be observed, and how is the exchange of support or care related or embedded in the relationship? Second, does the view's of a family member regarding the responsibility of care affects the likelihood that one actually provides care or support to a family member? The majority of the other research that was presented at the conference was based on samples of families that are confronted with a major care need for one of its members, and consequently often deal with formal caregivers, either at home or in an institutional setting. Instead of focusing on this very specific group of families, I shed light on patterns of care giving in extended families in the Netherlands, thus also examining families in which no, or hardly any care or support is exchanged among its members. Most questions asked during the Q&A were aimed at the methods and data I used. |

This blog was originally published in The Conversation, https://theconversation.com/university-education-makes-you-a-better-citizen-83373 and also in WISERD News, Dec 2017. We often think about what young people can expect to gain from university, or what universities contribute to society. But it's not often that we talk about how higher education can change society beyond the shaping of individuals. As tuition fees rise, and universities are cast in increasingly intense competition for students and staff, their cultural and civic role has become ever more important. Now, universities need to prove that they do more than just teach students to pass their degree courses. We already know that individuals' active participation in the organisations, clubs and societies which make up civil society help foster trust and well-being - all of which are also essential for the formation of a democratic and harmonious society. But what is it that UK universities do for society in this regard? We've been examining national surveys and speaking to graduates to find out |

| Geographic Reach | International |
| Primary Audience | Professional Practitioners |
| Results and Impact | The conference session this paper appeared in was organised by Beel, Jones and Jones entitled: 'Governance, shadow states and the positioning of civil society in processes of devolution': Within the UK and as well as further afield, the concepts of localism and spatial delineation of the 'city-region' (CR) have seen a renaissance as the de-facto spatial political units of governance for economic development (Clarke & Cochrane, 2013). In the UK, this has been led by the UK Government, as they have sought to reshape the ways in which economic development takes place. Although this shift in governmental delivery began under New Labour, it has been much vaunted by the UK Coalition Government (Deas, 2013), and subsequently by the continuing Conservative administration (Conservative Party, 2015). Post-the-Brexit vote and a new Conservative Administration, this strategy is somewhat in question and has uncertain future. Despite this, existing city and devolution deals seem to be holding. This policy landscape frames developments taking shape in both England and Wales. In Wales, two city-regions have been identified (Cardiff and Swansea). Both have sought city-deals with the UK and Welsh governments. To date, only Cardiff Capital Region, has a city-deal in place. Swansea Bay CR has yet to negotiate such a deal and may not get such an opportunity to do so. In England, Greater Manchester CR and Sheffield CR both have well developed devolution deals in place. This paper therefore follows the development of city-regionalism in England and Wales through these different discourses and (the potentially) unfolding city-deals, thus allowing the authors to ask: within a language of localism and devolution where does this position civil society with its focus upon social development? |

| Form Of Engagement Activity | A talk or presentation |
| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Geographic Reach | International |
| Primary Audience | Other audiences |
| Results and Impact | In this presentation, I showed how we employed data from the life history interview and subsequent waves of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) to test to what extent the experience of negative events earlier in the life course, as well as the timing of 'normal' events (e.g., leaving the parental home, marriage, [first] child birth) affect the frequency of, and reasons for volunteering in late life (age 50 and over). Ordered logistic regressions revealed that the frequency of volunteering was positively affected by the experience of negative events in the life course, especially when they were first experienced at a young age. When 'normal' events, such as marriage and parenthood, were experienced at ages outside normative social timetables (i.e., too early or too late), the frequency of volunteering in late life was found to be lower. Examining the reasons for volunteering, individuals who had experienced negative events in their life course, or who experienced 'normal' events off-time, were found to report socially related motivations for volunteering more often and motivations related to personal development less often. At the end of the presentation, and the following discussion, I realized the work can best be split over two separate papers; one in which I examine the frequency of volunteering, and one in which I examine the motivations to volunteer and the typology I created. Another suggestion that I will explore in the future is how the "Big Five" personality traits might mediate the impact of negative life experiences in childhood on volunteering in late life. |

| Geographic Reach | Local |
| Primary Audience | Other audiences |
| Results and Impact | During the talk, I presented the planned outline for WP4.4, and some preliminary results of research I had done examining the links between victimization, fear of crime, and age. I showed that the Age Paradox (which states that despite being less likely to become victimized, older persons are more fearful to become a victim of crime) is also apparent in the data from the European Social Survey, and tested to what extent three explanations suggested in the literature (media exposure to reported crime, a lack of contact between generations, and physical vulnerability) are able to explain this Age Paradox. Adding a measure for physical health to the model did reduce the positive effect of age on fear of crime, but adding measures for media consumption or intergenerational contact did not. There were some issues/limitations to the data, and this was highlighted in the discussion I had with the audience after the presentation. I had some valuable suggestions for improving (and expanding) the analyses from the audience. |

There was a presentation by Victim Support, who mentioned some aspects of point of relevance to the work and gave an overview of the work of Victim Support and the current context. The group was split into two to encourage discussion on the points that the research should consider, drawing the conversation together and thinking about some of the general points. A timetable for thinking about developing the research project was identified. |

The practitioners represented a range of organisations focussed on particular protected characteristics and beyond operating on an all-Wales remit, as well as those focussed more recently (such as mid-and-west Wales). The research identified a number of themes for research to be developed, and the stakeholders agreed to be involved in the formulation of the research project. We anticipate submitting a standard grant bid to the ESRC in the early summer of 2020, with the intention to develop a pilot study in the interim. |

| Results and Impact | 25 people from a range of audiences attended this workshop, held as part of the ESRC's 'Festival of Social Science'. The event began with three short presentations reporting some headline findings from the research. The first presentation introduced the work package, its aims, methods, and contexts (both academic and broader). The second and third presentations presented empirical data in more detail: the second presentation explored variation in participation rates drawn from longitudinal studies, while the third gave an overview of the qualitative data examining EU citizens' participation in civil society in Wales, including their motivations, and the challenges they faced. Questions were then taken from the floor. Many members of the audience had been involved as participants in the study. The second part of the event involved a panel discussion from three practitioners working in different organisations and in different capacities, and looked at the broader challenges around participation in civil society and uncertainties and hostility around Brexit. The panel generated extensive discussions, and highlighted a number of avenues to follow-up, particularly around the EU settlement scheme and hate crimes, but also around the nature of funding community groups. A number of common experiences and ideas of best practice were discussed. Many attendees then networked with each other following the close of discussions. |

| Results and Impact | This was a WISERD Aberystwyth, multidisciplinary Symposium that successfully brought together practitioners, academics and politicians to discuss recent Brexit-led changes and developments in the museum field. The event was hosted by the Ceredigion Museum in Aberystwyth. Twenty people attended the event, and actively participated bringing examples from their experience and background. The Symposium consisted of two talks - one by Bella Dicks research director at National Museum Wales and one by Helen Graham director of the Centre for Critical Studies in Museums, Galleries and Heritage - followed by discussions with the participants from different areas including the Welsh government, the National Library of Wales, the Welsh Federation of Museums and Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales. Participants reported increased understanding and awareness in relation to setting up exhibitions with very limited budgets, how to tackle exclusion and ensure community participation, how cultural institutions manage or do not manage to represent multiple members in their community. Broadly, the engagement activity produced the following three outcomes · stimulated interest and debate on the "Future Generations Act" and the meaning of wellbeing in relation to museums and participation · outlined the challenges faced by local governments because of increasing competition and shrinking budgets · produced a number of practical guidelines and recommendations at the museum-level, civil society-level, and government-level A number of resources have been employed to widen participation: social media promotion through WISERD and Aberystwyth University, targeting of relevant institutions, personal contacts. |

The paper drew on data collected for Work Package 1.3, and explored the experiences European migrants had of the EU membership referendum and its aftermath, and noted how contribution to civil society often drew on ideas of wishing to provide a positive image of an immigrant (in contrast to many media discourses) and to help people who had been in similar positions to themselves with the benefit of their experiences and skills. We were invited to contribute the paper to a special issue of 'Population, Space & Place', and submitted the initial draft to the guest editors on the 8th January. |

| Results and Impact | From the reconfiguration of historic maps to the visualisation of new data, digital mapping has been adopted in exciting and innovative ways, as the projects showcased in this workshop demonstrate. The speakers outlined the decisions they made about how and what to 'map', the methodologies used and the challenges they faced. By exploring these projects and ideas, the workshop locates digital mapping as a dynamic and collaborative space that radically changes the meanings of what is, and can be, mapped. This workshop was supported by Cardiff University's Data Innovation Research Institute. A presentation, entitled 'Mapping and the social sciences: WISERD', was delivered by Ian Harvey. |

In this meeting Samuel Jones was able to offer advice on using the WISERD DataPortal to disemminate meta-data relating to questionnaire surveys, allowing users to ascertain whether the data collected by a survey is useful to their research. Plans were made to look into the possibility of incorporating surveys undertaken by Cardiff Council in the WISERD DataPortal meta-data database in the future. |

A Q&A session at the end of the workshop allowed participants to provide feedback and suggestions for further improvement. Attendees showed good interest and gave positive feedback, some feeling that the event needed to be longer to give them a more of an opportunity to use the application. |

The workshop lasted for 1.5 hours, and it was planned that this would consist of a formal presentation, live demonstration and a practical session. However, the audience's interest and participation in the presentation and live demonstration elements meant that there was no time for the practical session. Questions were asked about the content of the meta-data, the prospect of adding new meta-data, the source, reliability, availability and security of the data mapping functions and other questions regarding the functionality. A number of individuals from the public and third sector showed interest in finding out more information and, subsequently, meetings were arranged to discuss this. |

| Results and Impact | Purpose: to engage members of the public with a range of WISERD research Outcomes: questions and enquiries about the research from the general public at the event and since Abstract: The result of the 2016 EU referendum revealed striking divisions between generations - with a majority of 18-24 year olds voting to remain and a majority of over 65s voting to leave. But what does this tell us about how people of different ages think about politics? Does our family background shape how we think about politics and social issues? Or do friends, social media and school make a bigger impression? How can people with different viewpoints come together and talk about politics? These are just some of the questions we'll explore using short films sharing young people's views, presentations, audience voting and discussion. |

| Results and Impact | Following the publication of three blogs relating to strikes by McDonald's and TGI Friday's employees, I pitched an idea for an article to The Conversation, a public-facing website for the reporting of academic research and commentary on current issues. The article took as it focus the fact that those involved in the strikes were predominantly younger workers for whom the issue of low pay and precarious work is particularly pertinent. The article placed the strikes in a broader international context as well as considering the role of social media in an emergent movement such as this. The original article online has to date been read 3,857 times and received several comments to which the authors responded. It was tweeted from several accounts including my own, my co-author, WISERD News and The Conversation and gathered over 100 retweets and 100 likes. It was also republished by the Bevan Foundation in their magazine Exchange and a later invitation was received to present our research at their conference on Fair Work (see separate entries respectively). |

| Results and Impact | Earlier in 2018 we submitted a proposal for an ESRC Festival of Social Science event and were successful in securing funding for this. The event was a two-hour workshop designed for trade union activists and organisers and took place at the Unite offices in Cardiff (with support from the Wales TUC with whom we collaborated in designing the specifics of the event). It was attended by approximately 15 people from a number of different trade unions as well as the Wales TUC. During the event we outlined the potential of social media for trade union organising, reported on research findings from two projects investigating social media use by trade unions and allowed for question and answer interaction from the audience. We also included two practical sessions for attendees to think critically about effective social media use by trade unions and strategic planning of Twitter activity. After the event we were contacted by the PCS trade union who were interested in a similar event for their staff in 2019; we are still pursuing this avenue for further engagement. |

| Results and Impact | WISERD Civil Society reseacher, as part of WP 2.3, Education, language and identity, has been travelling around the country to interview under-18s and talk about Brexit and its implications. Of the 35 young people interviewed, around half showed no interest in politics or Brexit whatsoever, or declined to express a particular opinion. A few of these turned to soundbites or clichés such as "they should just get on with it", without detailing how, or what "it" was. |

| Results and Impact | Purpose: to engage members of the public with outcomes of our ongoing research project. Outcomes: questions and inquiries about the project at the event and afterwards. Abstract: In much of the literature, the family is positioned firmly outside - even antithetical to - civil society. For while civil society is often presented as the site of voluntary association and democratic engagement, the family is portrayed as the site of oppression and/or the cradle of private self-interest. We argue, though that these representations are overly simple and significantly underestimate the importance of the family for engendering civil society engagement. Drawing on survey data collected from nearly 1,000 respondents in South Wales, we show the significance of intergenerational relations - between grandparents, parents and their children - for young people's social participation. |

Key third sector organisations from Scotland and from Wales will be invited for an in-depth workshop session in Cardiff in November to further discuss the research project and related areas of interest. Gaelic research network Soillse also requested a copy of the PPT slides for their website - which widens the reach of the impact of the presentation. |

| Results and Impact | Approximately 40 trade union activists and officials attended a fringe event for the Wales Trades Union Congress, 2018. The research team, Rhys Davies, Helen Blakely and Steve Davies presented findings relating to the increased propensity for people in Wales to join trade unions, which prompted a lively debate amongst those present for the implications for organising and mobilising workers in Wales and around the world. The General Secretary of the Wales TUC also expressed an interest in research relating to the potential role for social media within the labour movement (this has led to further dissemination activity relating to the work package). |

| Results and Impact | WISERD's Fringe event at the 2019 TUC Congress "The report of my death has been greatly exaggerated": The resilience and renewal of trade unions, explored the importance of two key themes to have emerged from WISERD's trade union research as contributors to the continuing resilience of trade unions: place and family. The team will also report back on findings from WISERD's analysis of social media content and networks relating to the union movement, including the case study of #McStrike, and what practical help this can offer for the possibilities of renewal and the further growth of workplace organisation. The event will also represent the official launch of WISERD's new interactive service, UnionMaps, which allows users to access data on union membership for over 400 unitary authority and local authority districts of Great Britain. Ronnie Draper, general secretary of the Bakers and Allied Food Workers Union (BFAWU) will join the team of WISERD researchers as they present the latest data, and discuss why (to the disappointment of their enemies) unions refuse to die. |

| Results and Impact | Invitation to a 2.5 hour session comprising formal Q&A, discussion groups, and informal Q&A with researchers, affiliates, union activists, and other members of civil society organizations concerning three topics: (1) current economic and political conjuncture in Europe; (2) scope for regional autonomy and civil society engagement in the European Union; and (3) the scope for new forms of governance based on networks and solidarity rather than market exchange and hierarchical command. The Iratzar Foundation is the research arm of a left Basque nationalist party and social movement. The organizers reported increased interest in the tension, which their members experienced, between civil society as a mode of self-responsibilization and self-emancipation. |

| Results and Impact | WiSERD organised a seminar at Cardiff Business School where visiting Prof Alex Bryson, UCL presented his research on "Human resource management in the public sector: Does it work?". There is a substantial literature which proposes that private sector firms and their employees can benefit from various HR practices and intensive HRM. Concerns to promote productivity in the public sector have led to government initiatives to promote similar practices in the public sector. Drawing on two recent papers and a current project Alex will show that some of these practices can be beneficial for public sector employers while others are not. In contrast to the private sector, these practices tend not to be associated with positive outcomes for public sector employees. Alex will also consider the implications of these findings for public policy. |

The IPPR Commission on Economic Justice Project "Devolving Economic power to the nations of the UK and the regions of England" was gathering evidence from Wales. Issues discussed included "What the rest of the UK can learn from Wales' experience of devolution so far?" "How could the further devolution of economic powers and resources help Wales to tackle the difficult challenges that remain?" |

| Primary Audience | Professional Practitioners |
| Results and Impact | Seminar discussed the debate on making public sector wages more responsive to those in the private sector. The way in which the public/private sector wage differential is calculated dramatically alters conclusions, and far from there being substantial regional disparity in wages offered to public sector workers, any differences are predominantly concentrated in London and the South East where public sector workers are significantly disadvantaged relative to private sector workers. This has implication for staff recruitment and retention. Such findings question the need for regional market-facing pay, but highlight the necessity to revisit the London-weighting offered to public sector workers. |

The team presented the fieldwork undertaken at their research site, the village of Rhosllanerchrugog ("Rhos") within the local authority of Wrexham Borough Council. The village provides an interesting site for exploring continuity and change in local civil society with its rich history of associations linked to religion, the Welsh Language and employment in heavy industry. The presentation focused on one key emerging finding to do with the way some community groups and institutions have evolved over time in quite significant ways. In some cases the personnel involved in community groups has remained constant; in other groups they have been succeeded by new personnel. A good case study illustration of this is the village bowling club. |

| Results and Impact | The presentation related to the first stage of the research in Wales and discussed the literature regarding how the education sector and youth-related voluntary organisations are perceived to influence the identities of young people. These were compared and contrasted with the findings of their first-stage project interviews with elites working in these areas in Wales. Key themes that emerged from the discussion were the diverse ways in which both sectors influence and deepen the identities of young people, juxtaposed by the lack of explicit attention to the role of these sectors in promoting Welsh identity. Despite the extent of developments since 1999, amongst the policy relevant findings were questions regarding whether the process of implementing the Donaldson recommendations would achieve the Welsh Government's aims of exposing young people to a more distinctive Welsh identity and the implications of evaluation indicators on how the non-statutory organisations' engage with young people.

| Results and Impact | Prof Paul Chaney (20.10.16) Chaired the Public Civil Society Seminar WISERD Civil Society Seminar: & Civil Society and Democratization in India" The seminar was presented by Visiting International Fellow Professor Sahoo Sarbeswar of the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. The seminar examines how Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), as part of civil society, contribute towards democratization in India and what conditions facilitate or inhibit their contribution. On the basis of in-depth empirical analysis and comparative case studies of three developmental NGOs that work among the tribal communities in the socio-historical context of south Rajasthan, this seminar assesses three different kinds of politics within civil society - liberal pluralist, neo-Marxist, and communitarian - which have had different implications in relation to democratization. Based on these three cases, the discussion demonstrates that civil society is not necessarily a democratizing force; it can have contradictory consequences in relation to democratization. The democratizing effect of civil society is not a result of the "stock of social capital" in the community, but is contingent upon the kinds of ideologies and interests that are present or ascendant not just within the institutions of civil society but also within the state. The analysis thus, presents a nuanced understanding of civil society's capacity to influence democratization in the developing world. |

| Results and Impact | The principal purpose of this activity was to provide an open audience, but primarily practitioners from the third sector, with tools to use to enhance their use of focus group interviews. Many of the attendees had used focus groups before, but we were able to provide them with a range of techniques to extend the types of data they can obtain from FGs in the future. The session was highly interactive and each participant was given the opportunity to run the group using a different method each time. The whole session was filmed and is now a podcast on the WISERD website for wider application and use. The workshop was run by Dr Nick Johns,Cardiff University and Dr Alison Green, Open University |

| Primary Audience | Other audiences |
| Results and Impact | This seminar was presented by Martijn Hogerbrugge and Martin Hyde. As populations age there is increasing pressure for older people to provide voluntary work and care. Many studies have looked at the socio-demographic factors that are associated with these activities. However, relatively few have looked at the potential impact of generativity, the development stage in middle and late age that primarily challenges one's ability to establish and guide the next generation. Using data from a pilot study of the Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey of Health (SLOSH), we analysed to what extent an individual's level of generativity is related to the hours spent volunteering and providing care. Moreover, we examined to what extent the associations are moderated by an individual's mode of reflexivity, that is the internal conversation an individual has before he or she performs certain acts or not. |

| Results and Impact | In recent years there has been an increase in the use of experimental method in UK social research, particularly in the evaluation of health and education interventions. Dr Adam Fletcher, Deputy Director of DECIPHer, is an exponent of experimental method, but will argue that experiments can be compatible with a realist approach. Professor David Byrne, of Durham University, has conducted both quantitative and qualitative policy related research for 40 years. He too favours a realist approach, but will argue that experimental method is compatible with realism under only very limited circumstances. |

Peer Researcher, Mr Alex Osmond, shared his own experiences of homelessness services, as well as his findings on those of other service users. Guest plenary speaker Professor Kenneth Gibb, University of Glasgow, provided an insight into housing policy in a devolved Scotland and raised the question of whether they are experiencing constrained autonomy or opportunity. Mr Steffan Evans, PHD student, Cardiff University, shared his findings on how social housing regulation differs between Wales and England. Dr Jennifer Hoolachan, Cardiff University talked about 'The Private Housing (Tenancies) (Scotland) Act 2016' and its implications for private renters.

| Geographic Reach | Regional |
| Primary Audience | Other audiences |
| Results and Impact | This event was part of the WISERD Cardiff lunchtime seminar series which focused on research currently being undertaken by WISERD researchers. This seminar was presented by WISERD academic Dr Jennifer Hampton on research conducted with Prof Chris Taylor. This presentation outlines work-in-progress on the nature of grandparent-grandchild contact across childhood. Particularly pertinent, is the role that grandparents play in providing childcare for working families. Whilst applauded in the way this can enable parents to (re)enter the workforce, this type of childcare has received some negative attention in terms of child-level outcomes. The existing literature also tends to focus on semi-formalized childcare practices in the early years, without considering the influence that grandparents may have outside of these activities. Using data from the Millennium Cohort Study, the pattern of interaction between the two generations, throughout childhood and into adolescence, is mapped. We then turn to consider how this interaction affects children's future prosocial (helping) behaviours. |

| Results and Impact | WISERD Civil Society seminars engage interested stakeholder with WISERD's researchers and their work. This seminar was presented by Prof Chris Taylor, Prof Sally Powers, Dr Kate Moles and Dr Esther Muddiman. In much of the literature, the family is positioned firmly outside - even antithetical to - civil society. For while civil society is often presented as the site of voluntary association and democratic engagement, the family is portrayed as the site of oppression and/or the cradle of private self-interest. We argue, though that these representations are overly simple and significantly underestimate the importance of the family for engendering civil society engagement. Drawing on survey data collected from nearly 1,000 respondents in South Wales, we show the significance of intergenerational relations - between grandparents, parents and their children - for young people's social participation. |

| Results and Impact | Part of the WISERD Lunchtime Seminar Series this even was held at Cardiff University on 12.11.18 and was presented by visiting academic Professor Christina Beatty from the Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research at Sheffield Hallam University. Welfare reform has been a defining feature of contemporary UK Government policy and is central to the deficit reduction plan. The intention is to create a welfare system which is fit for the 21st century: 'fairer', simpler and providing a transitional support system in times of need. The stated aim is to incentivise work whilst protecting the most vulnerable. In reality, since 2010 welfare reform has become synonymous with welfare cuts. Taken as a whole, reduced entitlement and restricted eligibility across a range of working age benefits means these reforms are set to deliver the largest reduction in the income of the UK's poorest families in modern times. Policy documents have paid scant attention to the cumulative impact of the reforms as a whole or the spatial distribution of the financial losses incurred. Britain's economic geography is, however, key to understanding the uneven impact of welfare reform. Evidence will be presented on the impact of welfare reform across the country, by household types and tenure. The extent to which areas facing the brunt of welfare reform are the same places that have experienced the destruction of industrial jobs since the 1980s will also be examined. The legacy of the past, therefore, continues to impact on communities in older industrial Britain today. |

| Results and Impact | The UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence (CaCHE) is a joint collaboration between ten universities and three non-higher education organisations. The centre aims to produce evidence that will shape UK policy and tackle chronic housing problems. The Centre brings some of the UK's leading experts together to focus on seven key areas. These include: the impact of housing on the economy; understanding housing markets; housing choice; housing poverty; neighbourhood design; the impact on housing as a result of multi-level governance; and homelessness. The Centre consists of five regional hubs in Glasgow, Sheffield, London/Reading, Cardiff and Belfast. The Cardiff HUB, including Dr Scott Orford, Dr Pete Mackie and Dr Robert Smith are based at the Wales Housing Research Network in WISERD On Wednesday 13th December representatives from the Centre's Executive team will be launching the Welsh hub and discussing opportunities for engagement with the centre. This will also be the first opportunity to begin to discuss key housing evidence needs in Wales. The event will be of interest to anyone with an interest in housing evidence and policy. |

| Results and Impact | This seminar is part of the WISERD Civil Society Seminar Series and focuses on the findings of original research on the food bank phenomenon in Wales. It will contextualise the rise of food banks in a society where relative poverty has proved difficult to tackle and voluntary welfare provision has been increasingly institutionalised replacing more traditional state approaches. This has implications for our future vision of a welfare state post-Brexit in an era of increasing populism. The seminar was chaired by WISERD academic Professor Paul Chaney and was presented by Mr David Beck and Dr Hefin Gwilym, School of Social Sciences, Bangor University. |

| Results and Impact | The lecture was part of the Annual Julian Tudor Hart Lecture series, now in its eleventh year, organised by Public Health Wales, Cardiff University School of Social Science and WISERD. Professor Ian Rees Jones - gave the response to the lecture. This year's Public Lecture, titled 'The health gap: the challenge of an unequal world', was given by Professor Sir Michael Marmot. The discussion was about taking action to reduce health inequalities is a matter of social justice. In developing strategies for tackling health inequalities we need to confront the social gradient in health not just the difference between the worst off and everybody else. There is clear evidence when we look across countries that national policies make a difference and that much can be done in cities, towns and local areas. But policies and interventions must not be confined to the health care system; they need to address the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. The evidence shows that economic circumstances are important but are not the only drivers of health inequalities. Tackling the health gap will take action, based on sound evidence, across the whole of society. |

The presenter was WISERD's international visitor, Professor Abby Peterson, University of Gothenburg, Sweden. The seminar explored the role of ordinary people in border practises on the basis of media sources, relevant websites and secondary sources collected in Sweden in autumn 2015 during what has been called the "refugee crisis". We most often talk about state bordering practices: those activities engaged in by states that constitute, sustain or modify borders between states. While the role of states is central in the study of migration processes this, however, underestimates the roles that non-state actors play in borderwork. State bordering practices are to a large degree performed in interaction with other types of non-state actors, processes and organizations. |

| Results and Impact | Austerity, further devolution of powers, issues such as an ageing population and climate change, and of course Brexit are all important conditions and events leading to uncertainty, instability and an unprecedented situation in Welsh policy and politics. These issues affect how and why policy is made and services are delivered. This is also an opportune time requiring reflection and analysis, where multiple stakeholders - ministers, civil servants, politicians, professionals, academics and citizens - are reviewing and redefining the purpose and outcomes of policy and politics in Wales. This event organised in partnership between WISERD and the Wales Centre for Public Policy, was to bring together academics at all stages of their career as well as representatives from Welsh Government and civil society to discuss these questions, current and future practices, and opportunities for Welsh policy and politics. 45 delegates attended the event. The day was organised into three panel sessions with paper presentations (10-15 minutes for each presentation) followed by 10-15 minutes of discussion by a discussant, with questions and answers from the room. The panels will be focused around the following themes: Knowledge and evidence in Wales and its role in policy-making Theories and methods in policy change: A Welsh and devolved perspective The future of policy and politics in Wales There was a lunchtime 'in conversation' session with Professor Jo Hunt and Dr Hugh Rawlings discussing Brexit, the devolution of new powers to Wales, and the role that various Welsh policy stakeholders - government, the legislative powers, civil society and universities - can play. |

| Results and Impact | Co-director Professor Paul Chaney presents findings from WISERD Civil Society Research Programme at National Assembly for Wales Exchanging Ideas seminar On 27 June 2017 Wiserd Co-director Professor Paul Chaney presented findings from the Civil Society Research Programme (Work-package 2.2 'Territoriality and Third Sector Engagement in Policy-Making and Welfare Provision' [LINK http://www.wiserd.ac.uk/research/civil-society/individuals-institutions-and-governance/ ]) at National Assembly for Wales Exchanging Ideas seminar. Speaking to a mixed audience of Assembly Members, policy-makers, practitioners and public at the Pierhead Building in Cardiff Bay - he discussed the third sector's relationship with the state. He argued that issues of voluntary sector independence have been a consistent challenge since the emergence of Welsh institutional structures back in 1946. In making his case he pointed to historical examples of the language used by the third sector representative body over the decades. For example, from 1948, "The new Council of Social Service for Wales and Monmouthshire is an independent body [with a] desire to understand Wales with its special and traditional problems' (CSSWM, 1948, p. 7); 'It cannot be over emphasised that the Council is an independent body Whilst gratefully accepting the help and encouragement from statutory sources, the Council must be always be free to express its opinion objectively on any matter of public interest' (CSSW, 1969, p.9); and "The WCVA [Wales Council for Voluntary Action [LINK http://www.wcva.org.uk/ ] "is not a Quango, It is an independent institution which resists any monopolistic tendencies in statutory agencies to take over, control or manipulate the voluntary sector' (WCVA, 1984, p.8). In his presentation he went on to argue that the sector's independence links to "welfare pluralism" - or the delivery of social services by a mix of providers from the state, civil society, and the private sector. His Wiserd research shows how the welfare role of civil society in Wales pre-dates that of government. However, he outlined how, over the post war decades, the state has placed increasing emphasis on the third sector as a key partner in service delivery. He argued that whilst this presents opportunities it also presents challenges to the independence of the sector: "the current Welsh Government Third Sector Scheme notes that 'We recognise that quality of life cannot be delivered by the state alone, and we need to capitalise and build on community action and volunteering' - but the Wiserd research underlines how it is important for government to listen to the views of third sector organisations (TSOs) and to refrain from imposing its agenda". He continued, 'it needs to be a two-way relationship where the third sector is encouraged and provided with adequate resources and institutional arrangements in order to deliver services that reflect the values and priorities of TSOs. In this regard, devolution has seen some positive progress - but the current era of austerity has increased the threats posed to the independence sector - not least, funding cuts have limited the sector's capacity to monitor policy and engage in the work of government". |

| Results and Impact | n Friday 21 September 2018, WISERD Co-Director Professor Paul Chaney gave a keynote address at H.M. Treasury, Government Economic Service and Government Social Research Annual Conference in Aldersgate, London. The conference theme was 'Better Analysis through Diversity of Thought, Place and People'. Professor Chaney presented the findings from WISERD research into international progress in relation to the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. He argued that exploring civil society's views is a valuable complement to jurisprudence and Human Rights Indicators. Evidence from Asia (including India and Nepal), Africa (including Liberia, Malawi, Namibia, and Rwanda) and, post-conflict states (including Afghanistan, Bosnia, Croatia, Ethiopia, and Georgia) - revealed a series of issues and challenges arresting international progress in relation to the UN treaties. Overall, conference-goers heard that, compared to civil society organisations, governments often exhibit different understandings of gender equality issues, and assigns markedly different priorities to them. Notably, civil society organisations were highly critical of what they saw as a consistent state failure to address gender-based violence, and issues like female foeticide and bride trafficking.A further failing identified by NGOs was governments' failure to address poverty and economic inequalities - which, as the civil society discourse detailed, underpins much of the discrimination and oppression facing women and girls today. A further issue was institutional-related obstacles and resistance to the adoption of equality policies and legislation. Amongst the remaining challenges were: inadequate communication, coordination and capacity impeding the mainstreaming of gender across the government sector and; enduring patriarchal and discriminatory sociocultural norms. The analysis also pointed to growing political constraints on civil society, particularly in Asia - and how this is hampering NGOs mobilisation and advocacy of gender equality and human rights. |

Specifically, Professor Chaney presented a paper exploring the challenges in maintaining and supporting the democratic participation of civil society organisations (CSOs) in order to uphold human rights for children and young people in six North African countries. This geographical focus was selected because states across the region languish in the bottom third of global human rights rankings. In the face of continuing abuses, the need to engage non-state actors in human rights implementation has never been more important. The study highlighted the contingent nature of civil society engagement, agency and activism and how, in turn, these are shaped by issues of democracy, civil conflict and political stability. In presenting its findings the paper challenges accepted thinking associated with 'transitology' and reveals key pathologies affecting the contemporary implementation of children's rights across the region. http://www.ncvo.org.uk/training-and-events/research-conference |

| Results and Impact | The Provincial goverment of Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, organizes an annual summer school for officials, mature students, and professional practitioners on current political topics. The ruling party uses my ideas on metagovernance and metagovernance failure in its policy planning and I was invited to give a public lecture and take part in a round table on metagovernance. The talk stimulated much discussion, led to an interview translated into Basque and Spanish, an invitation to the Mondragon cooperative university to discuss solidarity with key practitioners, and, two years later, to a return visit to Danostia/San Sebastian to discuss civil society as a mode of governance. |

The presentation drew on literature which problematised the Welsh self-perception of being a 'tolerant nation', and outlined the context of European migration to Wales before proceeding to introduce empirical data drawn from interviews about EU migrants' experiences of the 2016 referendum and its aftermath. The paper concluded with some questions about the challenges facing cohesion in the near future. |
