Summary of the impact

This has been achieved through public talks to a wide variety of audiences, including professional and managerial bodies, charities and the civil service, as well through a podcast and appearances on BBC Radio 4. Following her involvement in the 2011-12 Leveson Inquiry her ideas have also had an impact on the policy recommendations produced by the Inquiry. The importance of her contribution was acknowledged and endorsed at a number of different points in the final report.
