It reflects on the first 100 days of the new UK Conservative government and considers the implications of decisions made in that period. In doing so it provides a timely assessment of the extent of change in social policies and the wider environment under the Coalition government in part, but by no means limited to, the impact of 'austerity.' It therefore provides a consideration of the major influences on policy under the Coalition. ER -
