Decision makers and their advisers need fresh perspectives, analysis, and policy ideas to address the issues they’re responsible for. To reach them, we publish the Policy Brief Quarterly journal, alongside Special Editions focused on single policy topics.
Both are delivered by post to named recipients across politics, government, industry and media — bringing some of the most informed, readable policy analysis available today straight to the desks of the people who need it most.




At Policy Brief we bring insight and commentary from leading experts to policy makers and opinion formers. We challenge existing views and inform public debate and policy makers with the aim of contributing to improved policy and investment decisions that benefit the whole of society.
We are focused geographically on public policy in the UK, including a particular focus on its northern regions, and the EU. At the global level, we are concerned with promoting conflict resolution, stability, and development.
At a time of extraordinary challenge, independent and expert policy analysis and evidence-based solutions have never been more needed. Policy Brief is designed to help meet that challenge.
Thank you for reading.
Editor, Policy Brief
From 1992-2012 Roderick Crawford directed Parliamentary Brief with great style and effect. Policy Brief has the capacity to illuminate the issues in British politics in a decisive way

Policy Brief offers reliable and carefully researched policy analysis in a marketplace dominated by narrow Westminster interests. In Roderick Crawford clients work with the former editor of Parliamentary Brief and benefit from his expertise on economic policy, social policy, the North, and UK-EU relations.

When I was trying to draw attention to the potential ill-effects of children’s changing lifestyles on their physical and mental health, it was difficult to interest either press or politicians. Roderick Crawford saw the merit in my work and not only gave me a platform but published a series of articles on childhood issues.
