The warmest possible welcome to our new SSAC members, who will bring their rich experience, varied life skills and vital technical expertise to our scrutiny of Department for Work and Pensions legislation, policy and practices. Croeso cynnes i bawb!

NAWRA Daphne Hall SSAC Really delighted that SSAC will have such amazing expertise from Daphne Hall to inform work that has a real life impact on claimants.

Very excited to be joining SSAC and looking forward to bringing my experience from the advice sector to support the Committee’s work

Really looking forward to working with the new SSAC members & learning from their expertise. Especially nice to be working with an old pal Les allamby to strengthen the insights into social security in Northern Ireland, & to have the brilliant Bruce Caldwell reappointed 👏👏

So excited to have 6 fantastic new members joining SSAC bringing a brilliant breadth and depth of experience to our work

Great to have SSAC colleagues on my home turf! This was a great way to understand how #SocialSecurity can play out differently in N.Ireland, despite parity of provision. We got a great insight into the challenges faced in delivering benefits and supporting claimants.

Many thanks to Łukasz Hardt, Chair of the Supervisory Board of the Social Insurance Institution ZUS, for an interesting & informative discussion with SSAC's Dr Stephen Brien & Carl Emmerson on areas of mutual interest relating to the social security systems in Poland & the UK

I have been lucky to work with Seyi on SSAC for 9 years and will miss his calm, clear and insightful contributions to discussions. Agree with his blog that this is important work - and so much of it has benefited from his input.
