The UKRN has published its 2021 annual review and 2022 workplan. The annual review reflects how UKRN has matured as an organisation and become more influential in our collaboration. With stakeholder feedback, the review highlights key achievements across our strategic priorities. The 2022 workplan builds on our multiyear workplan, draws out member priorities and acknowledges the overlapping themes across net zero, vulnerable consumers and economic regulation.

Since Spring 2021, UKRN have facilitated a number of workshops with members on PSED. In recognition of the importance of this work, members have agreed to a set of pledges.
During July 2021, UKRN hosted a roundtable on data recording. Some members of the group decided to work on a joint policy statement and commit to working together on “encouraging the use of, and innovation in, data to improve vulnerable customer outcomes”. The statement outlines shared aims and a joint approach to data use. The next steps for this work will feature in the vulnerability network 2022 workplan.

The UKRN has today published findings from our event held on 17 June, Reflections on the impact of Covid and the way forward.

Our report captures the key points of discussion and themes, and helps us to understand what this may mean for the future.
