Jackson was an "educational and childcare activist". He was a major proponent of comprehensive schools and of the establishment of the Open University. A pioneer of the University Clearing House system, he became director of the Advisory Centre for Education in 1962 "and built it into a formidable vehicle for educational discussion and governmental lobbying." Jackson founded the National Children’s Centre in 1975. He also pioneered the Childcare Switchboard phone-in on local radio, during the '70s.
