The objectives of the research are: - to produce a quantitative assessment of pitch requirements capable of disaggregation to local authority level up to 2015 - to assess the current need for different types of accommodation across the subregion - to assess the mobility patterns of Gypsies and Travellers within West Yorkshire and the drivers of mobility - to develop an understanding of the demographic profile of the Gypsy and Traveller population; and - to devise a tailored methodology for carrying out future GTAAs for the West Yorkshire authorities

Social Welfare Movements and Collective Action: Lessons from Two UK Housing Cases
Housing Studies, Sep 1, 2002

While much has been written on so-called 'new social movements' in Europe and North America, connections remain underdeveloped between social movement theories and collective action in specific UK policy fields. At the same time, British housing scholars do not often link their detailed empirical material with any of the key strands of contemporary theoretical debates on social movements. This paper suggests that the notion of social welfare movements is potentially applicable in the housing field in Britain, and that particular housing histories may be helpful for further development of propositions or theories about movements.

These were: Oxford, Southwark, Shropshire, Torfaen, Wakefield and Edinburgh, which joined the programme in May 2012. Under the present system, HB for social rented tenants is usually paid directly to the landlord. However, from October 2013, the process of rolling out direct payments to all HB recipients will begin as part of the new Universal Credit (UC). DWP commissioned a research consortium comprising the Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research at Sheffield Hallam University, the Institute of Social Policy at the University of Oxford, and Ipsos MORI, to conduct an evaluation of the DPDPs. The emphasis of the evaluation is on continued learning and feedback into UC design. The DPDPs are not being implemented under the same conditions that UC will be delivered and so learning is not directly transferable. However, by tracking progress, processes, experiences and outcomes, it is hoped that important lessons can be learned about the implementation of the housing component of UC.

The research was commissioned by Analysis, Research and Knowledge Management (ARK) to fulfil the European Commission's funding requirements. Context VARRP offers asylum seekers the opportunity to return voluntarily to their country of return and provides an alternative to enforced removal. It is part funded by the UK's allocation from the European Commission's (EC's) Return Fund and is delivered by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) on behalf of the UK Border Agency.
