- Policy Connect is an independent, cross-party not-for-profit organization with two decades in policy work, overseeing the research and delivery of more than 50 key publications. The think tank has a history of running forums, commissions and All-Party Parliamentary Groups and is based in London. The think tank works to influence the formation of public policy in the UK through its programme of policy research and collaborative events and seminars. Founded in 1995 by Labour MP Barry Sheerman, it conducts research across a range of policy areas, most notably: sustainability, education and skills, design and manufacturing, health, and energy safety. Sheerman is the current Chair of the Board of Policy Connect, and Chris White was formerly the Vice-Chair. Both have been also Co-Chairs of the All-Party Parliamentary Manufacturing Group. It works closely with leading politicians, civil servants, academics and heads of industry, many of whom chair specific Policy Connect groups or research inquiries. Its head office is located in Southwark, near the Tate Modern. (en)
