Quote card: My report highlights the central lesson from the past four decades - that civil justice reform has been fragmented, reactive, and unable to deliver lasting change. If access to justice is to meaningfully improve, it must be seen as a long-term public responsibility, with a broader scope beyond the courts, grounded in evidence, properly funded and tested, and supported by institutional capacity to make it work.

Quote graphic from Nuffield Foundation featuring a person in a suit and light blue shirt. The quote reads: ‘The Skills Imperative 2035 is our most significant investment ever in education research. With accelerating labour market changes impacting both future jobs and the skills and qualifications needed to do them, its findings could not be more relevant or better timed.’ – Josh Hillman, Director, Education. Nuffield Foundation logo appears in the top right.
Image of Gavin Kelly and the quote which says 'the emphasis placed by the Mayfield review on an avidence-led approach is to be applauded - this is an area where a lack of data and rigour has contributed to one of the key social challenges of our times.
Quote on a red block that reads: “It seems to me, then, that this is one of the key contributions of academic philosophy in relation to public life: drawing out, reconstructing and scrutinising existing moral arguments that are already informing significant political work. This requires academic philosophers to relinquish any remaining notion that moral and political philosophy exists solely in the work we produce, and, until very recently, have almost exclusively studied.”
Illustration of a large blue scribbled cloud with raindrops and handwritten phrases such as “Why didn’t you like my post?”, “Could you check this for me?”, “Emails”, “Texts”, and “Add me on LinkedIn!”. Below the cloud is a smaller image of a serene outdoor scene with a tree and sunlight, overlaid with words like “Leave me alone” and “Quick Zoom”. Bottom text reads: “Deep dive report – Digital lives” with a button labelled “Read now”.
Illustrated flow of a person’s day linked by red arrows and demonstrating how embedded technology is in our everyday life. Starting at the top: a bed with “7:00am” noted, then a person checking a phone with a calendar and to-do list. Next, a laptop screen showing “Today’s tasks”, followed by a computer with a yoga class on the screen, and then a desk with a computer, plant, and stationery. Below, icons for social media and messaging apps connected to a smartphone. At the bottom, the same person appears again, lying in bed thinking about going on their phone. Caption reads: “Illustrations drawn from participants’ words by Lydia Hopkins design”.
White background with Nuffield Foundation logo and “Grown up?” at the top. Two large teal quotation marks introduce workshop participant quotes. The first says a car club wouldn’t exist without social media and mentions opportunities to travel to to Isle of Wight. The second explains posting online to be recognised or stay connected, especially in social situations at school.
Split image with two sections. On the left, a colourful collage of magazine clippings featuring words like “Slow down you’re doing fine”, “Fake news”, “Routine”, and “Celebrate community”. On the right, a hand-drawn illustration of a person in a top hat, with one side showing a normal face and the other a masked face, captioned “Not everyone is who they seem online”. Bottom text reads: “How digital technology is shaping young people’s lives”.
Liz Gilfillan stands against a white background, and a text box is overlaid with the quote, "The Foundation’s sponsorship of the Society of Black Academics conference is part of our aim to collaborate with a broader and more diverse range of partners and take action that contributes to a more inclusive future for the UK’s research sector."
