Delegates to our international conference next year can get a bargain by booking early. The early bird rate will now be available until Wednesday 7 February, giving plenty of time to send in abstracts for papers first. The conference runs from 26 to 28 June 2018 and delegates attending the full three days can save more than £30 with an early bird booking.

The conference will feature plenary sessions from two top academics. Associate Professor Rik van Berkel from the Utrecht School of Governance, Netherlands, will discuss ‘From policy to practice: a street-level perspective of welfare-to-work,’ while Professor of Social Policy at the University of Bath Jane Millar will speak on ‘Women, work and welfare: how does conditionality change choice?’ Papers are invited on all aspects of welfare conditionality and associated debates, with a deadline for abstracts of 31 January.

Full details of fees, bookings and the call for papers are on our conference page.
