Though always an independent institute, it was founded in 1980 as a charity Social Affairs Unit , Charity Commission , charity number 281530 with active encouragement from the Institute Of Economic Affairs . Founder Chairman was Professor Julius Gould , founder Director Dr Digby Anderson . 'In its early years the Unit was concerned with the critical evaluation of the welfare state. Many of its authors' ideas then very controversial especially on Schools and higher education - local Autonomy , parental accountability, curricular rigour - have now found their way into the policy mainstream, so too has early work on Adoption and Social Security .' 'In the mid-eighties the Unit added a concern with values and started a series about Virtue and social policy, including books on Manners , and sanctions for Deviant behaviour.' TRUSTEES
