The PEC's Statement of Research and Policy Priorities 2025-27 covers research and policy work that we plan to do during that period as well as work that is already under way.
These priorities were developed following extensive consultation with our key policy partners and other key stakeholders, assessing the rapidly changing UK policy landscape (adhering to our principles for policy impact of relevance, timeliness, trustworthiness and accessibility) and building on findings from our portfolio of research. They were also co-produced with lived experience experts from our Lived Experience Engagement Team and the PEC's Lived Experience Advisory Panel, who played a critical role in the consultation process, including leading sessions with policymakers.
These priorities also reflect the way in which the PEC works in its current phase, producing more research in-house from within our collaborative research partnership (the Universities of Oxford, Liverpool and Hull, together with one independent research organisation, the Bingham Centre), allowing for greater agility in responding to a rapidly changing policy environment. We will keep our priorities under constant review to ensure that we are able to respond to any significant changes in the policy environment.
