Barry Fong, Principal Social Policy Analyst at the Greater London Authority (GLA) will take us through the Survey of Londoners 2021-22. Conducted at the end of 2021, so just before the full effects of the cost-of-living crisis began to set in, it was commissioned to provide vital evidence on key social outcomes for Londoners, following the onset of COVID-19 and associated restrictions.
A similar survey was conducted in 2018-19, so this survey would show how things had changed in the capital since then.
Barry will go through some of the key findings from the survey before handing over to Michael Cheetham and Ellen Bloomer from the North East London Integrated Care Board, who collaborated with local authority partners to fund a sample boost for the survey within North East London. They will explain how they used the data, including the analyses, the results and how this impacted strategy and practice.

Developing Metrics for Financial Shared Services: Best Practices, Tips and T...Jeff Zwier
One of the most difficult tasks shared services managers face is measuring and demonstrating value returned to their
organizations. How can you capture your value in terms that are quantifiable, meaningful to your senior management and
useful as performance and analytical tools by your service leadership team? In this presentation, Jeff Zwier shares some of the tips, best practices and pitfalls he has
learned while developing performance and analytical metrics for shared services operating within a global financial services team, including
• Designing metrics that encourage the right responses from senior management
• Types of metrics and when to use each
• Principles of basic performance dashboard design
• Determining the right level of analysis to support performance management and demonstrate cost savings

Windshield Survey Template and Instructions
Note: Content adapted from the Work Group for Community Health and Development: Community Tool Box’s “Windshield and Walking Surveys.”
Windshield and walking surveys are useful ways to assess specific aspects of a community or neighborhood and help give you a sense of the community.
Conduct your survey at the time that works best for your schedule, but keep in mind that to truly understand the people who live within the community (or neighborhood), you may wish to do the survey more than once, and at different times of the day or different days of the week. For the purposes of this course, you are not required to do the survey more than once.
Please be mindful of your personal safety. If there is a known issue with hostility between specific groups, it may not be safe for some people to survey particular neighborhoods. Do not knowingly put yourself in harm’s way.
Preparation
· Get familiar with the survey questions and know what you will be looking for.
· Use a checklist to be sure you have covered all the questions and observed all the areas you want to.
· Be as inconspicuous as possible. Not only do people act differently when they know they are being observed, they may also become suspicious or hostile.
· Be sure you carry identification.
· Take notes along the way. You can also take photos with a camera or cell phone to help you remember what you have seen.
· Always pay attention to your safety. Be aware of the neighborhood and the situation.
Observation
Use the spaces between the questions below for your notes. You can write more complete observations once you return home.
· Housing: What is the age and condition of housing in the community or neighborhood? Are the houses and apartments kept up, or are they run-down and in need of repair? Are the yards neat or overgrown?
· Other Buildings: Are other buildings mostly or fully occupied? Are public and commercial buildings accessible by people with disabilities?
· Parks and Public Spaces: Are parks and other public spaces well maintained? Are they used by a variety of people? Are there sports facilities such as baseball fields, basketball courts, and soccer fields?
· Culture and Entertainment: Are there museums, libraries, theaters, restaurants, historic sites, and so forth? Do they reflect the culture of the community? Are they readily accessible?
· Streets: Are there trees and plants along the streets? Are there sidewalks? Are the streets and sidewalks clean? Are there trash cans sitting out in sight? Are there people on the streets? Do they interact with each other? Are the streets well-lit at night?
· Business and Industry: What kinds of businesses are there? Are there vacant storefronts? In what languages are business signs? Do the businesses provide the necessities for the community (such as groceries and medications)? Is there any kind of industry present?
· Traffic and Transportation: Is there evidence of public transportatio.

The route to success in end of life care – achieving quality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people
21 June 2012 - National End of Life Care Programme
This guide has been developed following consultation with stakeholders at a series of discussion groups held around the country. It offers guidance and advice for those working with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people, and for LGBT people themselves, whether giving or receiving end of life care.
It provides case studies, key recommendations and issues for health and social care professionals to consider, such as:
The importance of avoiding the assumption that someone is heterosexual.
The enhanced privacy rights for transgender people provided by the Gender Recognition Act (2004).
Avoiding the common misunderstanding that a next of kin needs to be a person related by blood or marriage.
Challenges faced if a person has not previously 'come out' - the need for end of life care can mean private domestic arrangements are subject to wider scrutiny.
Recognising that 'coming out' may result in LGBT people being isolated from their families of origin and therefore relying on other support networks.
The danger of not recognising the significance of a relationship, which may result in a bereaved person's grief going unrecognised.
The report calls for organisations and the people within them to have an LGBT-friendly culture and use education and training to positively address communication skills and attitudes. It urges organisations to have a clear confidentiality policy, involve LGBT people in services and promote the use of inclusive language at the end of life, with phrases that do not inadvertently make someone feel like they must reveal their sexual orientation and gender identity.

Characteristics like race, ethnicity, gender, and disability status can have a significant impact on how we experience the world, and how the world experiences us. In UX research, diversity is the first thing to vanish from the recruit when the going gets tough; Megan will talk about what we miss when that happens, and what researchers can do about it in their own practice. This presentation will demonstrate why a diverse recruit is imperative for a strong user research study, provide examples of what we miss when the recruit is homogeneous, and offering tactics for addressing the issue.

How can humanities research contribute to policy 2Noel Hatch
There is always a danger that the humanities are overlooked in favour of the social sciences or ‘hard’ sciences in research-policy engagement, when the former have an important role to play.
The session will provide case studies and a facilitated discussion to better understand the potential implications and challenges for policymakers of engaging with humanities researchers.
The London Strategy and Policy Network and the London Research and Policy Partnership invite you to join a session to explore the contributions that humanities research can make to policy by bringing together humanities researchers and policymakers from across the capital and beyond.
Welcome and introduction (1:00 – 1:10pm)

ABOUT LRaPP:
London Research and Policy Partnership (LRaPP) is a new partnership aimed at promoting greater synergy between London government and the academic research community.
The Partnership is evolving among movements bringing universities and local communities, cities and regions closer together - the ‘civic universities agenda’. It encourages universities to use their expertise and organisational resources to address pressing public policy challenges.
There are many examples of London's academics and public sector working together. Yet, most of these relationships develop in an ad hoc way. LRaPP takes a systematic approach through proactive and sustained engagement between the university and government sectors.
London Strategy and Policy Network
This network brings together people working in policy & strategy working in local government across London to learn new insights on cross-cutting issues and new methods in how to develop insight, policy, strategy & change.
This helps them support their organisations make sense of how to tackle issues which cut across various services and that require a whole system approach across local places to tackle.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Survey of Londoners - 1
1. Use of GLA survey of
Londoners results in NHS
NEL
23 March 2023 LPSN Introduction to the Survey of Londoners
NEL Insights Team
2. • Integrated care systems (ICSs) are partnerships of organisations that come together to plan
and deliver joined up health and care services, and to improve the lives of people who live
and work in their area. NEL includes NHS organizations, the local authorities in the area as
well as place based partnerships and provider collaboratives.
• The ICSs bring partner organisations together to:
• improve outcomes in population health and healthcare
• tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience and access
• enhance productivity and value for money
• help the NHS support broader social and economic development.
• The GLA survey of London allows a detailed window into a number of areas not commonly
seen by the constituent organizations of NEL, and allows us to think about population
health as it stretches across wider determinants of health.
• NEL funded a “boost” sample to increase the resolution of the survey within NEL and allow
borough level analysis. 4,265 of the 8,630 responses came from NEL.
GLA Survey of Londoners in NEL
3. GLA Survey of Londoners | Insight project
Aim
To explore the experience and circumstances of people living in
NEL captured in the GLA survey, NEL and local authority public
health leads formed a steering and project group to:
• Identify key questions and conduct analysis
• Present key findings and conclusions
• Suggest future analysis and reflect on the benefit of the survey
Steering group
• Ellen Bloomer (NEL)
• Mike Brannan (Barking & Dagenham)
• Benhildah Dube (Barking & Dagenham)
• Diana Divajeva (Hackney)
• Lynne Kitson (Newham)
• Anthony Wakhisi (Havering)
• Michael Cheetham (NEL Insights)
• Natasha Hobbs (NEL Insights)
Analysts from the Insights Team
• Catherine Fell
• Julie Braithwaite
• Taran Jassi
Analytical rounds
1. Analysis of single questions - how do individuals within NEL
respond to the questions asked in the survey
2. Analysis of vulnerability in different domains – are individuals
in NEL particularly vulnerable to particular stressors and what
are the characteristics of those groups
3. Analysis of demographics of selected questions – what is the
demographic break down of the response to key questions
4. Statistical modelling of variables affecting financial
vulnerability and identification of risk factors for financial
vulnerability.
5. Topic modelling of free text responses – what are people
telling us in their own words.
Analysis is at NEL level – although individual questions in the
survey can be disaggregated to supply useful insight at local
authority level we have been advised by GLA not to combine
questions at the borough level meaning that rounds 2,3 and 4 had
to be done at NEL level. In addition we carried out the topic
modelling at NEL level due to only about half of responses
containing a free text comment.
5. Keyanalyticalfindings& conclusions| Demographicsof selectedquestions
• Large numbers (hundreds of thousands of individuals depending on the metric) struggle with financial and food security,
winter heating, housing, or loneliness within NEL, and may struggle with multiple issues. Examples include:
• 20% of NEL residents have not had enough money to buy food when needed in the last year. This is more often true for
those from ethnic minorities (e.g. 29% for black people against 12% for White British people), young people (31% for
those in the 16-24 age group), or long lasting health conditions (29%) as well as those who don’t speak English well or
were born outside the UK.
• 15% of residents have been unable to adequately heat their home. Notable differences from this include those with a
long lasting health condition (25%), those who don’t speak English well (37%) and those with a caring responsibility.
• 14% of residents consider their housing to be poor or very poor quality. This is a more common view among those who
are in the Asian, mixed or other ethnic groups (between 18-25%) or those with a long lasting health condition (21%).
• 20% of NEL residents with loans struggle to keep up with debt repayments. This is more noticeable in those of Black,
Asian or mixed ethnic groups (22-27%), or for those with a long lasting health condition (27%), those who don’t speak
English well (38%) and those who are young (35% for those 16-24).
• 28% of residents feel lonely some or often/all the time. This is especially so for the young (39% of those 16-24), those
with a long lasting health condition (39%).
6. Our analysis indicated that there were certain population groups who were
significantly more vulnerable to having difficulties in the financial domain,
namely:
• Non-white ethnic populations especially those within the black
ethnicity cohort who are Non-natal Londoners
• Single and young parents, especially where these factors are combined.
• Those with a life-limiting illness
• Unpaid Carers
• Younger people (under 24yrs of age)
Whilst descriptively we see a slight variation due to gender, our analysis
indicates that this is due to the higher prevalence of financial vulnerability
risk factors within the female population due social norms and other
influences rather than gender itself being a significant risk factor for
vulnerability.

Financial vulnerability | Key findings
7. Gender
We excluded gender from our analysis. While we found slight
variation between male and females looking at the data
descriptively when we isolated the effect of gender on
financial vulnerability there was no significant difference
between men and women.
Looking at the data descriptively however, we see that several
risks for financial vulnerability are associated with a higher
proportion of women e.g. unpaid carers and single parents.

8. Ethnicity
We found that patterns of financial vulnerability varied
across ethnic groupings between Natal Londoners (those
who have always lived here) and Non-natal Londoners (those
who have moved here to live) with ethnicity having a
significantly smaller effect for Natal Londoners.
Our analysis indicated that White Non-Natal Londoners are
over 25% less likely to be financially vulnerable than their
Natal peers while Black Non-natal Londoners were 50% more
likely to have difficulties in this domain when compared to
their Natal peers.
Note: the 50% line on this and the following charts indicates
that an individual in particular group is more likely than not
to be financially vulnerable.

9. Keyanalyticalfindings& conclusions| Freetextanalysis
• A topic modelling approach was used to extract common topics from the short free text question at the
end of the survey, asking respondents for anything else they wished to add.
• Respondents appear to show positive sentiment towards London as a whole but negativity towards their
local areas.
• Multiple topics found in free text responses are not covered in the survey. For example there are no/not
many questions on traffic and road use, issues with the surrounding area and policing and crime. These are
topics we found to exist within the responses.
• Older age bands are more negative towards public services compared to younger age bands.
• Sentiment towards the topic of housing varies with age, older age bands are more positive compared to
younger age bands.
• All demographics show negative sentiment towards the topic regarding local councils.

11. The GLA survey provided insight not available from other sources
• The GLA survey of Londoners is a rich source of data and shows the importance of this kind of snapshot
for understanding the NEL population. It has been used as evidence in our response to the cost of living
crisis, and forms an important resource for understanding our population as we develop our population
health management approaches.
• Linked individual level responses provide insight that needs careful analysis to extract the right message –
e.g. gender is not a significant variable in determining financial vulnerability but variables commonly
linked to gender are.
• The free text field can be useful for identifying topics of interest to residents. It can also be used to help
identify topic areas that should be covered in future structured surveys and gives a place for the voice of
our residents to come through in their own words.
Editor's Notes
NEL collects data on health… we’ve got good data from primary care, acute care, MH, community etc. We’re starting to build quite good pictures of certain demographic characteristics – but we don’t have access to certain things relevant to all determinants of health – very health data focused view of population health. Survey of London adds data on community, work, food, finance, and so on.

Demographics
Did this as a system piece - partly to make sure that we could get useful output for the whole system from this work, partly to work as a system.
At the time we were doing this analysis – summer 22, cost of living was becoming an issue, steering group identified this as an area for exploration
A logistic regression model was used to identify variables associated with financial vulnerability defined by a combination of questions covering fuel poverty, food insecurity, debt burden and savings.
A number of population groups are particularly financially vulnerable according to our analysis: this includes:
Non-white ethnic populations especially those within the black ethnicity cohort not born in London.
Single and young parents, especially where these factors are combined.
Those with a life-limiting illness
Unpaid Carers
Younger people under 24yrs of age. This last conclusion should be treated with a degree of caution as we cannot easily unpick those young people living independently from those living with parents or guardians for whom some of the metrics determining financial vulnerability are less relevant.
Gender does not appear to be in itself a significant factor in financial vulnerability: however many of the factors identified are associated with roles more often undertaken by women (e.g. unpaid carers, single parents).
Household income was excluded from the definition of financial vulnerability as we could not identify disposable income.
With appropriate information governance the output of this survey might be (anonymously) linked to the primary and acute data held by NEL and open up a range of other analyses. However this needs to be balanced against the willingness of individuals to participate.
