Rosalind Phillips joined the Wales Centre for Public Policy (WCPP) in 2023 as a Research Apprentice. Prior to joining WCPP, Rosalind completed a postgraduate degree in Public Policy at the University of Bristol, which enhanced her understanding of the policy process and implementation of policy at a national and international level. As part of her master’s degree, Rosalind selected the modules ‘Migration, Asylum and Human Rights’, ‘Gender and Violence’ and ‘The International Analysis of Poverty and Social Exclusion’ reflecting her subject interests and enabling her to improve her knowledge of these areas of social policy.
Rosalind gained an understanding of Welsh policy and the impact of devolution on policymaking during her undergraduate degree in Social Policy at Swansea University. During this time she undertook a Research Internship, investigating participatory budgeting after the ‘Our Voice, Our Choice, Our Port’ project in Newport, leading her to join the Newport Fairness Commission in 2022.
