It’s that gut feeling isn’t it”: General practitioner experiences of safeguarding in care homes for older people
Purpose General practitioners (GPs) play an important role in adult safeguarding. However, their experiences of this role have received scant attention in the UK and internationally. This study aimed to explore their experiences of safeguarding within care homes (CHs) for older adults where, as they are among the practitioner groups most frequently visiting, they are well-positioned to contribute to bringing abuse and neglect to light. Design/met…
Caring from a distance: Carers’ experiences of keeping in touch with care home residents during Covid-19 closures
In response to COVID-19, many care homes closed to visitors and new ways for carers and residents to stay in touch were tried. This UK study employed an online survey to explore carer experiences of staying in touch from a distance. The research highlighted: the importance of ongoing connections (through visits and remotely); diverse approaches to maintaining contact; and concerns about safeguarding and well-being. Findings underscore the importa…
Signs of Safety and the Paradox of Simplicity: Insights from Research with Social Work Students
Signs of Safety (SOS) is a widely adopted approach in child protection internationally. However, very little is known about the effectiveness of students’ learning and engagement with this approach. To our knowledge, this is the first study to explore social work students’ perceptions and experiences of SOS based on training and use of the approach during final practice placements. Interviews, focus groups, and surveys were undertaken at two time…
The interface between primary care and care homes: General Practitioner experiences of working in care homes for older people
Supporting residents in care homes for older people is an important, though little studied, aspect of the General Practitioner (GP) role. This study explored GPs' experiences of working to support older people living in care homes, and the challenges and facilitators to providing effective care in this unique practice environment. A qualitative online survey was shared with GPs in England via Twitter and through Named Doctor for Safeguarding netw…
More than signposting: Findings from an evaluation of a social prescribing service
This paper presents findings from an evaluation of a social prescribing service, undertaken between January 2019 and December 2020. Data was collected through interviews and focus groups with a range of groups including social prescribing managers, link workers (LWs), referrers (GPs and social work practitioners), clients, Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) agencies and groups. Thematic analysis of data was undertaken, and findings were present…

Background A safe and efficacious vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), if deployed with high coverage, could contribute to the control of the COVID-19 pandemic. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine in a pooled interim analysis of four trials. Methods This analysis includes data from four ongoing blinded, randomised, controlled trials done across the UK, Brazil, and South Afri…
The views of carers, people living with dementia and healthcare practitioners about the value of online information and peer support
This article reports on research into the development of a website (Caregiverspro-MMD) intended for carers and people living with dementia. Carers, people living with dementia and healthcare practitioners were invited to explore a prototype of the website. Information was sought about: whether they thought the website would be useful; the functions and resources they would require; and their views about using an online resource. Interviews and fo…
A fifty mile round trip to change a lightbulb’: An exploratory study of carers’ experiences of providing help, care and support to families and friends from a distance
While the role of carers has been widely investigated, the experiences of those who care from a distance have been little explored, especially in the United Kingdom. However, contemporary patterns of family life suggest that this may be a significant experience for many. This exploratory study employed an anonymous online survey, conducted April-November 2017, to collect data about specific issues (experiences, challenges and satisfactions) faced…
An uncertain practice: Social work support for disabled people and carers moving across local authority boundaries in England
This article reports on a study of social work practice with care recipients choosing to relocate between English local administrative units. Data were collected from interviews with 20 social work practitioners from three areas, seeking their views through the use of vignettes. Participants reported that supporting relocation: requires time and planning; is conceptualised as a key transition for those moving; and exposes practitioners (and care …
Abuse in care? A research project to identify early indicators of concern in residential and nursing homes for older people
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the prevention of the abuse of older people in residential and nursing homes, through the identification of “early indicators of concern”. Such indicators support practitioners in identifying services in which older people are at risk of abuse, neglect and ill treatment. Design/methodology/approach – Semi-structured interviews were conducted with health and social care practitioners in two l…
Get me out of here’: Bail hearings of people indefinitely detained for immigration purposes (Respond to this article at http://www.therai.org.uk/at/debate)
This article is based on observation of 66 applications for bail brought by men detained indefinitely for immigration purposes. It argues that although the research is incomplete – the full stories of the applicants could not be known, neither the Home Office Presenting Officers nor the Immigration Judges could be ‘shadowed’ or even interviewed, court records are not public – there is value in doing ‘observation’ without ‘participation’ of instit…
Abuse in care? The identification of early indicators of the abuse of people with learning disabilities in residential settings
Although No Secrets suggests that adult protection practices should seek to prevent abuse, it can be argued that such practice predominately focuses on pursuing effective responses to abuse that has already happened, rather than preventing the onset of abuse. This research sought to contribute to the prevention of abuse, through the identification of ‘early indicators’. Early indicators were identified, and this knowledge has been applied to equi…

Response of hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and home health agencies in Oregon to Aids: Reports of nursing executives
To describe experience and readiness to provide care for persons with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), responses to a mailed survey from 86 percent of chief nursing executives of the 207 hospitals, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and home health agencies (HHAs) in Oregon were summarized. As of January 1989, 44 percent reported having provided care; even in low incidence counties, 64 percent of hospitals had provided care. Adequate res…
Why Do Workers Bother: Paradoxes of Resistance in two English Factories
This paper is an attempt to deal with questions which arose in the course of research using participant-observation in some factories in the south of England. Sabotage and class warfare were not immediately obvious to the observer, indeed, activities which superficially appeared as workers' colluding in their own exploitation were more common. What I shall argue here is that resistance to the demands of capital may take different forms, only one …

Matrimonial Cases in the Local Courts of Zambia
This paper examines what topics are dealt with in matrimonial cases before the local courts in Zambia and, to some extent, what topics in customary law relating to marriage are not dealt with in such cases. It does not explore the conceptual limits of a definition of customary law, nor does it imply that the adjudications of local courts are the only source from which to establish customary law relating to marriage. The scope of matrimonial cases…
The Changing Scope of Urban Native Courts in Northern Rhodesia
Courts administering African customary law in addition, as a rule, to statute law within specified limits, have been characteristic of territories in Africa with a background of British colonial administration. Such courts operate or operated in both urban and rural areas and have been known at various times in different territories as native courts, local courts or customary courts. A general account of these courts and the nature of the dualism…
