Policy Work

The Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre supports students to actively engage in policy and law reform work, through projects including the Bail Observation Project and the Social Justice Policy Clinic, and building on our experience in supporting our local community on a range of legal issues.

Recent examples of our policy work include:

  • written evidence to the Justice Committee’s Access to Justice Inquiry;
  • written evidence to the Environmental Audit Committee’s ‘Environment in Focus’ Inquiry regarding the impact of ‘legacy’ toxic landfill sites;
  • a Freedom of Information exercise across every local authority in England, relating to the immigration status of children in local authority care, in collaboration with two children’s charities;
  • a scoping task/literature review regarding existing tools and resources on citizenship;
  • preparation of a research briefing relating to intimate image abuse;
  • hosting a pop-up consultation workshop for students to respond to the national consultation ‘Growing Up in the Online World’ on children’s use of social media.

Students also presented their online poster ‘Preliminary Findings: Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre’s Bail Observation Project’ at the Socio-legal Studies Association’s annual conference in March 2026.
