School of Law PhD graduate shortlisted for ESRC Impact Prize

The school is delighted to announce that Dr Chloe Holloway has been shortlisted for the ESRC Outstanding Early Career Impact Prize. Dr Holloway used the findings of her PhD study into the experiences of autistic individuals in police custody to deliver training to police officers across Nottinghamshire. Funded by a Nottingham Impact Accelerator Award she also worked with autistic individuals and police officers to develop a training package for custody staff. Dr Holloway's PhD was supervised by Professor John Jackson and Dr Nell Munro from the School of Law and Dr Dani Ropar from the School of Psychology.

Dr Holloway's supervisors commented that, "It is fantastic news that the impact of Chloe's research is being recognised. Her project has been a great example of the importance of working with autistic people and partners to get results".
