Beyond a trauma-informed approach and towards shame-sensitive practice
In this article, we outline and define for the first time the concept of shame-sensitivity and principles for shame-sensitive practice. We argue that shame-sensitive practice is essential for the trauma-informed approach. Experiences of trauma are widespread, and there exists a wealth of evidence directly correlating trauma to a range of poor social and health outcomes which incur substantial costs to individuals and to society. As such, trauma h…
The shame and shaming of parents in the child protection process: Findings from a case study of an English child protection service
Given that research identifies parental experiences of shame and humiliation in the child protection process, this article reports on a qualitative study that investigated how and why parents experienced such emotions within the English system. This is the first study to investigate such experiences by using participant observation, which enabled the collection of data of real-time emotional experiences and practices. These experiences are analys…
A pragmatic investigation into the emotions of pride, shame, guilt, humiliation, and embarrassment: Lived experience and the challenge to established theory
This article investigates what it means to experience the 'self-conscious emotions' of pride, shame, guilt, humiliation, and embarrassment and assesses the findings against established theories. Study 1 collected qualitative data on real-world experiences of the emotions as experienced by social workers in England ( N = 21) and identifies and defines the components that constituted the experiences. Study 2 used vignettes to quantitatively test th…
Less than human: A qualitative study into the experience of parents involved in the child protection system
This paper reports on the findings from a qualitative study into the experiences of parents who were involved in the English child protection system in 2013. Seventeen in‐depth interviews were conducted involving 19 parents and/or partners, and a framework approach was used to analyse the data. There were positive experiences of individual social workers and some positive experiences of the child protection system. However, the overwhelming theme…
Social worker or social administrator? Findings from a qualitative case study of a child protection social work team
This paper reports on data from a qualitative case study of child protection social work in one local authority. Ethnographic methods were used and constructionist grounded theory employed to collect and analyse 329 pages of historical documents about the local authority child protection service, 246.5 hours of observations of social work practice and 19 interviews of social workers and their team managers. By interpreting the experiences of the …
Shame and guilt in child protection social work: New interpretations and opportunities for practice
Shame is an underexplored and misunderstood emotion. It can be described as an acute awareness of one's flawed and unworthy self. It is the primary social emotion and one of our most intimate feelings developed within the context of our family of origin, which can have a devastating effect on an individual and their relationships. Social workers are routinely faced with issues of shame as an intrinsic consequence of the matters with which social …
Narrative Practice and Social Work Education: Using a Narrative Approach in Social Work Practice Education to Develop Struggling Social Work Students
Placement learning opportunities (PLO) are a crucial component of social work education yet little seems to be known of how practice educators use their knowledge and skills to develop students specifically. This leaves practice educators with a gap in knowledge of how to provide the right learning opportunities to the students they support, which is even more heightened when the student is struggling in their PLO. This paper seeks to fill this g…

Retail turnover in the East Midlands: A regional application of a gravity model
Gibson M. and Pullen M. (1972) Retail turnover in the East Midlands: A regional application of a gravity model, Reg. Studies 6, 183–196. A gravity model of the type developed by Black is constructed on a regional scale covering the East Midlands Economic Planning Region. The model is calibrated on the 1961 Census of Distribution, and is used to forecast shopping turnover in local authority areas for 1981. A strong pattern emerges of rapid growth …
