I have worked with Ecorys UK as a Digital Advisor for their management of Department for Work and Pensions’ Reducing Parental Conflict Fund. As part of the ‘Digital Support for Families’ strand, £1.6 million was made available to provide grant funding to projects to test digitally engaging and supporting disadvantaged families – with a particular focus on innovative content delivered on social media channels.

I worked as an advisor at the application stage, reviewing applications and providing digital insights on feasibility, budget and if projects were correctly meeting the Department for Work and Pensions brief. I have continued to work on the fund as the projects launched and progress, providing quarterly reports on digital learnings and assisting Ecorys UK in presenting findings back to DWP.
