Protecting and empowering adults with capacity-affecting conditions to take part in health and health-related research
Health research is essential if people are to enjoy the highest attainable standard of health and healthcare. Yet, persons with capacity-affecting conditions are routinely excluded from research, as they are often judged to lack the capacity to give consent. Focusing on the Mental Capacity Act England and Wales 2005 (MCA), which regulates research involving adults judged to lack capacity, we outline the provision of the MCA and then describe the …
Putting the Family First: Identities, decisions, citizenship
First published in 1994, Putting the Family First is a study of better-off couples that clarifies the relationship between individualism and family values. Partners’ cultural practices focus on "making something of themselves", being "supportive" of each other, and spending "quality time" with children. But their economic strategies are directed towards competition for positional goods, especially higher education and good jobs for their offsprin…
A Qualitative Study of Understanding Reasons for Self-Harm in Adolescent Girls
Objective: Self-harm is an important public health issue in the UK. Young people who self-harm frequently feel misunderstood, and unable to access help. Improving understanding is key to informing the development and delivery of effective treatments and services. Methods: In this qualitative study, we interviewed nine adolescent girls (13-17 years old) with recurrent self-harm, recruited from NHS specialist child and adolescent mental health serv…
Making adult safeguarding personal
Purpose To ascertain what efforts Adult Safeguarding Leads (ASLs), generic advocates, and Independent Mental Capacity Advocates (IMCAs) are making to involve service users in decisions about protective measures, and to investigate whether the Adult Safeguarding Service is delivering outcomes, which are valued by its users. Design/methodology/approach semi-structured interviews with a sample of key stakeholders. Findings Findings: ASLs are making …
Healthcare for men and women with learning disabilities: Understanding inequalities in access
Healthcare for men and women with learning disabilities (known internationally as intellectual disabilities) has risen up the political agenda in the United Kingdom, propelled by a report from the charity Mencap. This report has resulted in renewed efforts, set out in Valuing People Now, to ensure that people with learning disabilities receive the healthcare they are entitled to. This paper, drawing upon experience in England, describes the chall…
Introducing the Mental Capacity Advocate (Imca) Service and the Reform of Adult Safeguarding Procedures
Contemporary welfare is closely linked to policies designed to foster individual responsibility and self-development. This agenda, however, encounters problems when adults lack the capacity to make decisions about their lives, and/or are unable to protect themselves from the malign actions of their fellow citizens. These problems are addressed by the 2005 Mental Capacity Act (England and Wales) and adult safeguarding procedures. Specifically, the…

The clinical assessment of patients admitted to hospital following an episode of self-harm: A Qualitative Study
Based upon qualitative interviews with clinicians responsible for assessing patients admitted to hospital following an episode of self-harm by overdose, this paper documents interactional factors that shape both how clinicians conduct these assessments and their understanding of what 'causes' someone to harm themselves. The analysis first documents how the patients' overdoses are framed as essentially impulsive acts committed in response to adver…
Understanding the social exclusion and stalled welfare of citizens with learning disabilities
Despite the UK's recent history of promoting the social inclusion and equality of men and women with learning disabilities they remain a significantly disadvantaged group. Compared with their non‐disabled peers they are more likely to be unemployed, less likely to own their own homes and are at a significantly greater risk of physical and mental ill health. The first part of this paper discusses the welfare rights of citizens with learning disabi…
Citizens with learning disabilities and the right to vote
This paper asks, in the context of recent legislative changes, what can be done to support more citizens in England and Wales with learning disabilities to vote in national elections? This issue is addressed through (i) a review of recent disability access campaigns that have reported discrimination against, and the under‐representation of, adults with disabilities in UK elections; (ii) a review of recent research undertaken in the USA into the a…
Learning disability and the limits of liberal citizenship: Interactional Impediments to Political Empowerment
Recent policy initiatives have moved decisively toward empowering learning disabled citizens, recognising ability over disability, and promoting people's political empowerment and voice in the design of public services. While laudable and encouraging, these initiatives raise an important question: to what extent can a group of service users, whose very entitlement to state-sponsored assistance is justified by putative intellectual impairment, be …
Towards a new perspective on deliberate self-harm in an area of multiple deprivation
Based on 50 qualitative interviews with people who have repeatedly taken overdoses, this paper presents a new perspective for understanding deliberate self-harm. The perspective is new in the sense that it (1) avoids over-reliance on risk factors and (2) places agency at the centre of the analysis to document how the respondents' artfully constructed accounts of their lives minimise agency and constitute life in a perpetual present
Polarisation, Underclass and the Welfare State
Both the British government and the Labour leadership (through the Commission on Social Justice) have instigated radical reviews of the welfare state. This article criticises the British social scientific research available to these enquiries. It draws on Bill Jordan's recent (as yet unpublished) ESRC review and synthesis of research on poverty and social exclusion, and his and Marcus Redley's ESRC-funded comparative study of decision-making and …
