An edited collection is very much a work of collaboration. We would like to thank our contributors for their excellent chapters, their engagement with the book as a whole, and their speedy responses to our comments and queries. Several of the authors in this third edition have been part of the book since the first edition in 2003, some have joined for this round all have been stimulating and thoughtful partners. On that note, we would also like to thank those authors who contributed to previous editions. Their contributions made the book such a valuable collection, and we refer readers to previous editions, where they will find much material to help them understand how UK social security got to where we find it today.

The team at Policy Press Catherine Gray, Shannon Kneis, Rebecca Megson, Dawn Rushen and Phylicia Ulibarri-Eglite have been, as ever, supportive and efficient, guiding the development and production with clarity and purpose.

Finally, we do not forget the origins of the book in the Department of Social Security and then Department for Work and Pensions Summer Schools from the late 1980s to the early 2000s. These provided a forum for communication and enhanced understanding between academic researchers, those responsible for designing policy, and those responsible for delivery on the ground. The origin of the book in the Summer School gave a particular flavour to the approach taken and to the selection of topics in the first and second editions. Sadly, the Summer School in that format no longer exists, but the focus on both policy and practice, on key policy goals and the measures intended to achieve those goals, has remained central to the contents of this volume.
