Oral evidence submissions

Following written evidence submissions we have supported NTU researchers who have been invited to provide oral evidence to Parliamentary Select Committees. We work with our colleagues to support them during this process and can help to ensure research and recommendations are presented in the best manner.

Professor Ian Clark

Professor Clark was questioned about research undertaken on hand car washes across the East Midlands. His in-depth research provided crucial evidence to the inquiry and his evidence was extensively quoted in the report from the Environmental Audit Committee.  Alongside Social Science colleagues Ian's work has developed a wider impact and is helping to inform additional civil service strategy on the informal economy. The research on hand car washes continues to develop and will hopefully be submitted as an impact case study for REF 2021.

Associate Professor Lucy Betts

Dr Betts was asked to share her expertise with the Science and Technology Committee when they explored the impact of social media and screen use on young people's health. Lucy represented a wide body of research from across NTU during this session. Lucy has gone on to provide a range of research informed insights on cyber bullying to different stakeholders.

Associate Professor Loretta Trickett

Nottingham Civic Exchange has supported Dr Trickett to share her expertise with numerous inquiries relating to her research areas. Most recently she shared her expertise with the Hate Crime and Its Violent Consequences Inquiry from the Home Affairs Select Committee and the Antisemitism Inquiry which was run by the Women and Equalities Committee.

Professor Andromachi Tseloni

Professor Tseloni has extensive experience in providing evidence to parliamentary committees. Nottingham Civic Exchange supported her oral submission to the Policing for the Future Inquiry by the Home Affairs Committee. Professor Tseloni is currently working with the Home Office and her research was recognised by the ONS for its powerful use of research in 2019.
