Reflections on the visionary impact of Dr Yerxa’s scholarship of teaching and research in occupational therapy and occupational science
The Impact of the 2005 Mental Capacity Act on Social Workers' Decision Making and Approaches to the Assessment of Risk
The 2005 Mental Capacity Act in England and Wales has introduced a statutory regime for assessment and best interests substituted decision making for people lacking the capacity to make autonomous decisions. This includes decision making by older people with dementia. Based on empirical research into the early impact of the Act on social work practice, three distinct types of approach to risk emerged: legalistic, actuarial and rights-based. Under…

Barriers to Retaining and Using Professional Knowledge in Local Authority Social Work Practice with Adults in the UK
The development of community care policy and practice in the UK has taken place in the context of the growth of neo-liberal ideologies and managerialism. This has had an impact on service provision and professional practice which has been pronounced in statutory agencies. Research evidence indicates that the workforce in adult social care is demoralized and de-motivated and that there is dissonance between working practices and social work educat…
The Impact of the UK Human Rights Act 1998 on Decision Making in Adult Social Care in England and Wales
This paper explores the impact of the Human Rights Act 1998 on decision making in adult social care in England and Wales. It focuses on a review of the Act by the government in June 2006 and subsequent new guidance on implementation addressed to policy makers, managers and practitioners. The meaning of “rights” in contemporary legal and social theory is considered and the potential of human rights law to improve the experiences of service users i…
The Human Rights Act and social work practice
The Human Rights Act 1998, by incorporating the European Convention on Human Rights into domestic law, has led to the creation of new duties upon public authorities to respect human rights. The effect of the Act is considered here and its implications in respect of social work practice are discussed. Reference is made to emerging case law in the field of mental health and child care. The relationship between human rights and anti-oppressive pract…
Assessing mental capacity -a checklist for social workers
Social workers, whether working with people with learning difficulties or with older people, are often required to make judgements regarding an individual's capacity to make decisions. This article explores the legal basis upon which such judgements should be based and the implications for the individual and for the worker of finding of capacity or otherwise. The material is presented in the form of a checklist, supported by discussion of the iss…
Challenging Community Care assessments
Local authority decision-making is increasingly constrained by resource limitations and policies which seek to target or ration services. At the same time, more opportunities are being created for potential users of such services to challenge decisions which they see as contrary to their interests or based upon inadequate information and assessment. Professionals working within the system may also query whether the guidance that they are given by…
Female Professors/Male Professors Career Development
With the growing number of women in professional careers, whether by choice or by necessity, it has become increasingly critical to investigate any inequalities in treatment due to sex. The purpose of this particular study was to survey female and male professors to compare and contrast 34 female professors' attitudes and beliefs concerning their career development and the interrelation with their personal lives with those of the males ( n = 88).…
