Nottingham Civic Exchange Events

NTUs Policy Engagement Group heard about Edward Peck's experiences of policy making during his time at NTU.

This event explored policy engagement at the inaugural event.

Experiences from a Shadow Minister and former City Councillor. We heard from MPs on engaging with policy.

NTU, in partnership with the MoJ, hosted a free one-day event to focus on suicide prevention for those on probation supervision

The event drew together national and local stakeholders including policy, academic, public and third sector expertise to consider ways to prevent deaths in those under community probation supervision, with a particular focus on suicide prevention.

The event was to explore how to enhance partnership working across sectors, to collaboratively support a reduction in suicide through considering the specific risks and needs within this high-risk population, including during transition out of prison.

We heard from a range of expert speakers covering both justice and health sectors, scrutiny bodies, academics and lived experience – setting the scene on current landscape, priorities, challenges and suggestions for change, followed by attendees reflecting on actions they could make which may move forward the prevention of suicide in this group.

This event explored the question - What role for working conditions, economic security and professional status in national guidance and regulation of the Private Hire and Taxi?

NTU researchers shared their idea for a Local Area Homelessness Classification tool.

Our event on Black Friday explored the challenges and opportunities of researching the future of work in warehousing and logistics centres.

NTU students, staff and partners watched the UK Government’s budget live.

We held a student hackathon with the RSA and city partners to help tackle economic insecurity.

Many in society say the prognosis isn’t great:

• you will earn less than your parents;
• you are facing an ongoing housing crisis;
• your work futures are under threat due to casualisation and automation;
• and there is that little thing called Brexit.

We aren’t the many.

We are looking forward to creating a brighter more enriching society. We invited 100 students to work with us to design solutions that will help improve people’s lives. Along with our partners, the RSA, we have shown that people are experiencing greater (economic) insecurity.

This event was run in partnership with the Politics and International Relations Department and the RSA.

We began the conversation about how to make Nottingham a good work city and for the debut screening of our film ‘An Ordinary Working Family?’

Our session deciphered the numbers and explored the employment trends across Nottinghamshire.
