Dr Tracey Price-Allan is Head of Social Research at Urban Foresight, where she leads a wide-ranging portfolio of research and evaluation projects for public sector bodies, charities, and NGOs. Tracey has guided multidisciplinary teams in developing impact measurement frameworks, shaping organisational strategy, and embedding evidence-based approaches into service design, policy development, and public health oriented reform. Her academic foundation is rooted in a PhD that examined the policy and legislative levers capable of creating pathways away from criminalisation and toward health and social care interventions for people who use drugs. Building on this work, Tracey has led research and evaluation initiatives focused on harm reduction, violence prevention, and early intervention, consistently championing trauma-informed practice and inclusive approaches that amplify the voices of those with lived experience. She has contributed to national working groups and international partnerships and currently serves as Board Liaison for GLEPHA’s Special Interest Group on Law Enforcement and Harm Reduction.

Tracey is recognised for her collaborative leadership, commitment to values-driven innovation, and her ability to translate complex evidence into practical strategies that drive reform and sustainable impact. Through her governance experience and international networks, Tracey brings academic rigour, practical insight, and a commitment to fostering resilience and innovation across diverse sectors, making her a trusted voice in advancing research, policy, and practice.
