History
According to its own website:
- The Institute has a long and distinguished history. In its former guise of Political and Economic Planning (PEP), it drew up the blueprint for what became the National Health Service and the Race Relations Act. More recently, it has become respected for its agenda-setting work on young offenders, ethnic diversity, welfare and the labour market.
- PSI was formed in 1978 through the merger of Political and Economic Planning (PEP, established in 1931) and the Centre for Studies in Social Policy (CSSP, established in 1972).Source
- In 1998 it merged to become an independent subsidiary of the University of Westminster. PSI takes a politically neutral stance on issues of public policy and has no connections with any political party, commercial interest or pressure group. Source
This latter claim is rather undermined by the list of sponsors on a different page of their website - see below.
