Supporting women in relation to menopause knowledge and awareness
Background: International evidence suggests that women experience a range of health and wellbeing challenges during menopause, and perimenopause. The current literature highlights the need for women to be educated about menopause, yet limited evidence exists in England about community-based menopause programmes that focus on educating women on this issue. Study’s objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate a gender-specific (women-onl…
Implementing Schwartz Rounds in children's social care
Children's social care services can be a challenging place to work, with staff regularly reporting higher stress levels relative to the general population and other public sector settings. Thus, it is important to provide staff with good support. Previously, we completed a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of Schwartz Rounds (SRs) and reported a series of non-statistically significant differences between intervention and comparison groups. We als…

Can Party Elites Shape the Rank and File? Evidence from a Recruitment Campaign in India
Recruiting a large number of ground workers is crucial for running effective modern election campaigns. It is unclear if party leaders can influence the quality and quantity of the unpaid rank-and-file workforce as they can with prized nominations for candidates. We analyze a field experiment conducted by an Indian party that randomized recruitment messages reaching 1% of a 13-million-person electorate to join its rank and file. Contrary to conce…
Social workers in schools
This study evaluated the feasibility of ‘Social Workers in Schools’, an intervention that involved social workers being based within schools across three local authorities in England (SWIS). Schools make a large number of referrals to Children's Social Care and play an important role in recognizing risks to children and protecting them from harm, but it is unusual for social workers to be based in schools in the U.K. and to do statutory work. We …
Neoliberal values and the UK university undergraduate prospectus
This paper examines the extent to which Neoliberalism features in undergraduate prospectuses of UK universities, using Michel Foucault’s lectures at the Collège de France, and subsequent writers on Neoliberalism, as an analytical lens. Prospectuses convey an impression of the outcomes students might gain; the specific research question is, ‘To what extent do the prospectuses of UK universities espouse neoliberal values for their prospective stude…
How Did Levels of Psychological Distress and Perceptions of Workplace Support amongst Children’s Social Work Staff Change during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Covid-19 brought about drastic changes in day-to-day life and working practices, and had a profound impact on the mental health and well-being of the general population. Certain professional groups have also been particularly affected. This study sought to explore how levels of psychological distress and perceptions of workplace support amongst social work staff changed during the pandemic. We present the results from a series of surveys conducte…
Devolved Budgets in Children’s Social Care
A lack of basic resources and financial difficulties affect many families and increase risks to children. Social workers’ ability to help is limited by scarce resources, and managers usually control the financial and material help that is available, making it difficult to access directly. This article reports on a mixed methods evaluation of ‘devolved budgets’ (DBs), an intervention where social workers could use up to £10,000 to help families di…

Sustainability of Rooftop Technologies in Cold Climates
Sustainable building rooftop technologies, such as white roofs, green roofs, and photovoltaic(s) (PV) panels, are becoming increasingly implemented as a result of their associated environmental benefits. Studies of these rooftop technologies are often located in hot climates and do not assess their full environmental consequences. Further, current studies tend to focus on one technology and often do not evaluate the full range of technology optio…
The Impact of Asynchronous Pubertal Development on Depressive Symptoms in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood Among Females
Recycling Ruins
In 1768, William Aislabie purchased an estate neighbouring his own that included the ruins of Fountains Abbey, and proceeded to clear and reorganise the ruins to emphasise them as the subject of a Picturesque view. His intervention resulted in significant critical objection, but the basis of this objection shifted substantially over the ensuing decades. In the 1770s, William Gilpin's objections were founded in ideas of the ‘authentic’ Gothic ruin…
