This is a special issue with the theme of social justice and public policy,
with several of the contributions arising from an ESRC seminar series on
the subject. Both the seminar series and the articles in this issue seek to
facilitate engagement between academics, policy makers and practitioners.
Back by popular demand, the issue also includes an update of the 'Benefits'
calendar - an invaluable resource for keeping track of the latest reforms.
