North East Law Review (NELR) is a student run Law Review from Newcastle University, est in January 2013.
This student led podcast has invited a variety of special guests, from academics to legal professionals, to speak on a wide range of topics all to do with the law.
What happens when the welfare system changes — and the people who rely on it are left uncertain about their future?
In our latest episode, we speak with Hannah Cooper from Citizens Advice about the real challenges advisers are seeing on the front line. From the UK Government’s Pathways to Work disability Green Paper proposals to concerns about cuts to health-related benefits like Personal Independence Payment and Universal Credit, the debate has sparked major controversy across the country.
Hannah explains what these reforms could mean for disabled people, why charities warned they could push thousands further into poverty, and how advice services are helping people understand and challenge decisions.
We’ll also hear how Citizens Advice Newcastle works to support local residents.
Dr Neha Vyas from Newcastle Law School volunteers with the service and brings legal insight into the fight for fairer access to disability and health-related benefits.
🎧 Listen now to hear the story behind the headlines — and the people working to protect the social safety net.

Bid rigging is a grave competition law infringement that significantly compromises public procurement by causing artificially inflated prices and preventing public authorities from securing the most advantageous terms for public funds. In this lecture series, join Dr Pinelopi Giosa as she takes us through a discussion based on her recently published monograph “Competition Law and Collusion in Public Procurement” (Routledge 2025). It utilises auction theory as a benchmark to assess how the design of the EU's public procurement system under Directive 2014/24/EU creates vulnerabilities to collusive practices.
