Nurturing inclusive and critical spaces for gender inquiry
It is a great pleasure to introduce you to this new section, within Cogent Social Sciences, on Gender Studies. In this editorial, we advocate for an inclusive, visible and critical space that promo
Putting lived experiences at the heart of research
It is a great pleasure to introduce you to this special issue of Educational Action Research (EARJ), offered as a tribute to the work of Professor Carol Munn-Giddings. Carol was an editor of EARJ for nearly 20 years. Throughout that time, she consistently championed two specific issues she recognised as under-represented in the general literature and in the journal itself. The first was the paucity of accounts of creative forms of action research…
Navigating the labyrinth
This article presents findings regarding the experiences of Roma families interacting with child protection services. Using a mixed-methods approach grounded in critical realism, the research team explored the complex dynamics that shape these interactions. The study adopts a critical stance on child welfare, moving beyond dominant individualistic and risk-averse narratives to emphasise the need for contextualising child protection within a broad…
Delivering trauma-informed outreach to women involved in street-based prostitution
The social work profession recognises the value of trauma-informed care for women with multiple disadvantage. For women involved in street-based prostitution this is mostly descriptive in nature with limited practice-based investigation. Guided by the principles of qualitative feminist research, this article explores the enablers and barriers in delivering trauma-informed outreach to women involved in street-based prostitution. Semi-structured in…
Afghan Women Refugees Enduring Domestic Violence Despite Finding Sanctuary in the UK
This article examines the settlement experiences of Afghan women refugees following their migration into the UK. The findings highlight how violence and oppression depicted many of the women's experiences prior to seeking asylum. This was found to persist when the women gained asylum in the UK, as many continued to face severe and enduring violence within their family, from both men and other women, as traditional patriarchal values involving phy…
The impact of the arts in healthcare on patients and service users
This review provides an updated evaluation of the emerging body of literature on the value of the arts in healthcare settings. Internationally, there is growing interest in the use of the arts in the healthcare context supported by the number of research studies reported in the nursing and medical literature. There is evidence that arts interventions have positive effects on psychological and physiological outcomes on patients in a hospital envir…
The contribution of self-help/mutual aid groups to mental well-being
This article explores the contribution of self-help/mutual aid groups to mental well-being. Self-help/mutual aid groups are self-organising groups where people come together to address a shared a health or social issue through mutual support. They are associated with a range of health and social benefits, but remain poorly understood. This article draws on data from stage one of ESTEEM, a project which runs from 2010 to 2013. Stage one ran from 2…
Employment advice in primary care
Every organisation in the UK is affected by mental distress and ill-health in the workforce. The first point of contact for most people with common mental health problems, such as mild to moderate anxiety or depression, is their general practitioner. The location of specialist employment advisers in GP surgeries is therefore a logical attempt to address the issue of people falling out of the workplace, through the provision of early intervention …
Sesami study of employment support for people with severe mental health problems
In the context of UK policy to promote employment for people with disability as a means to greater social inclusion, this study investigated how people with severe mental health problems fare in existing supported employment agencies. The aim of the study was to identify factors associated with successful placement in work and to test the impact of working on psychological well-being in this group. One hundred and fifty-five users of six English …
Mental health service users’ experiences of returning to paid employment
Research into mental health and employment has focused largely on people who are unemployed. This paper reports the experiences of 20 clients of employment support agencies who had succeeded in returning to work. A number of barriers to getting back to work were identified, but receiving employment support could enable people to overcome them. There was consistency with previous studies of factors associated with high and low levels of job satisf…
