How schools and workplaces use evidence to navigate health and wellbeing investment decisions – a scoping review
Purpose Despite increased calls for greater health and wellbeing promotion in workplaces and schools, little is known about how these organisations make use of evidence to support health and wellbeing investment decisions. Design/methodology/approach A scoping review was conducted to explore how workplaces and schools use evidence in their health and wellbeing investments decisions and to synthesise findings across a range of OECD countries.

Mental health and wellbeing priority setting: A study of evidence use in schools in England
Educational settings represent an important site for mental health and wellbeing (MHWB) investment, with an upsurge in research evidence to support such investments. However, the way in which schools use evidence to support priority setting has not been widely documented. This article focuses on how, in practice, English schools use evidence in investing in MHWB initiatives. We conducted exploratory interviews and document analysis with decision-…
Care as capital: Developing theory about school investment in mental health and wellbeing
Recent years have seen an emphasis on delivering mental health and wellbeing support in school settings. However, the process by which schools meet this resource allocation challenge is largely undocumented. Our study used theory-building process tracing to develop a mechanistic understanding of the process of mental health investment in schools. We conducted in-depth case study work with four school sites in England, comprising 29 interviews and…
How Care Inequalities are Reproduced in 'Carer-Friendly' Jobs: The Case of Employer-Led Carer's Leave
This article investigates how working carers - workers with care responsibilities for a long-term ill, ageing or disabled relative - negotiate their care responsibilities when employed in a 'carer-friendly' job with access to paid carer's leave. Based on narrative interviews with 17 working carers in the UK, the article explores how the availability of carer's leave influences carers' perception and legitimisation of their roles as 'carers' withi…
The impact of autonomy at work on dementia family carers' ability to manage care-related emergencies, and use technology to that end: Semi-structured interviews in Scotland
Most people with dementia (PwD) are cared for by unpaid family carers, many of whom must balance caring with paid work. This regularly entails dealing with care-related emergencies (CRE). This study aims to explore the impact of carers' autonomy at work regarding breaks, schedule, and place on their ability to manage CRE, and use technology to that end. We conducted interviews with 16 working carers of PwD in Scotland. Data were analysed thematic…
Speaking up as a working carer: Working carers’ use of voice and struggles for representation in the workplace
Many studies have discussed the challenges of reconciling work and care, but few address the role of carers’ voice in advocating for, and facilitating access to, workplace support. Drawing on qualitative case studies of three large UK organisations, we examine the role of working carers’ voice in the development of a carer’s leave policy at work. Findings indicate that working carers’ voice is shaped by various factors, including available voice …
Guilt, care, and the ideal worker: Comparing guilt among working carers and care workers
This article explores care workers and working carers' experiences of work. It focuses on how both groups of workers experience pressures to adhere to an ideal, which this article argues, is centered on an emotional reaction of guilt. Through this ideal of a guilty worker, a “care ethic” is reconfigured to become a “work ethic.” Drawing on 120 semistructured interviews with care workers, working carers, trade union officers, and care company mana…

Challenges of combining work and unpaid care, and solutions: A scoping review
The number of people who combine work and unpaid care is increasing rapidly as more people need care, public and private care systems are progressively under pressure and more people are required to work for longer. Without adequate support, these working carers may experience detrimental effects on their well-being. To adequately support working carers, it is important to first understand the challenges they face. A scoping review was carried ou…
