Child-friendly pre-trial gaming systems
The EU and UK are calling for child-friendly justice. Yet existing adult-oriented practices disrupt justice and increase children’s trauma. We developed a psychoeducational template of a child-friendly gaming system designed for children’s court preparation. We reviewed: (a) guidelines for psychometrics tests, (b) international, Cypriot, English and Scottish law, (c) psychoeducational programmes in the US, and, (d) the Gestalt Play Therapy, Child…
Making a “home” into a home
The move into residential aged care is a difficult transition for many people. The place may be called an aged-care or nursing "home", but for many residents it does not feel like a home at all. This paper explores issues experienced by older people who are trying to make themselves at home in aged care. The authors present two studies examining residents' perceptions of the aged-care environment. The findings suggest that residents experience si…
Storylistening
Stories have cognitive value—listened to carefully and expertly, they provide knowledge. That knowledge is captured and presented in narrative evidence—the product of the expert act of critical engagement with stories, and with others' engagement with stories. Storylistening is the theory and practice of gathering narrative evidence to inform decision‐making, especially in relation to public reasoning, as part of a pluralistic evidence base. Stor…
Exploring the value and role of creative practices in research co-production
Over the past two years, COVID has illustrated how research benefit can be accelerated when need, resources and opportunity coincide. It has also demonstrated the challenges of implementing even relatively simple evidence-based interventions, such as mask wearing and vaccines. The global pandemic response has repeatedly shown that evidence use is a complex social process determined by multiple financial, political, ethical, technological, ecologi…
Storylistening
Storylistening makes the case for the urgent need to take stories seriously in order to improve public reasoning. Dillon and Craig provide a theory and practice for gathering narrative evidence that will complement and strengthen, not distort, other forms of evidence, including that from science. Focusing on the cognitive and the collective, Dillon and Craig show how stories offer alternative points of view, create and cohere collective identitie…
Design research to support ongoingness
This article details the development of a live design research project working with people who are bereaved, people who are living with dementia and people who are approaching end of life. The project aims to support people to continue bonds with others in anticipation of and following death. It centres on the idea of ongoingness and using art, design and digital technologies in gentle, personally meaningful ways
Contributing to social transformation through occupation
Occupational therapy is underpinned by the premise that engagement in occupation is fundamental to health and well-being. Through occupations, people are able to orchestrate their lives in ways that enable them not only to survive, but also to experience human flourishing. Through occupation, people can develop and maintain their families, neighbourhoods and communities as sources of belonging, opportunities and common action. Occupation, therefo…
Risk management in a policy environment
Sustainability-focused impact assessment
This article considers whether strategic environmental assessment (SEA) of local-level spatial plans in England is leading to a high level of protection of the environment. It is based on an analysis of the sustainability appraisals (SA/SEA) of 45 core strategies, interviews with 14 planners, and 14 questionnaire responses. The findings suggest that the plans will have beneficial social and economic effects, but between mildly positive and mildly…
