Gosh, this job is so hard!’
The Mental Capacity Act (MCA) is the legislative framework which allows professionals in England and Wales to act on behalf of people assessed as lacking mental capacity to make a specific decision. The validity of the assessment process under the act is predicated on the ability of the assessor to accurately empathize in order to understand the way in which the assessed person makes decisions. The human rights implications of the implementation …
How Do, and How Should, Risk Considerations Influence Approved Mental Health Professionals’ Assessments of Mental Capacity? A Literature Review
The role of the Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) involves assessing people’s mental capacity to make decisions about their care and treatment. This article has relevance for AMHPS and other mental health staff. It asks questions about the way in which risk considerations inform assessment. Findings are that while identified risk factors may be relevant to the decision to assess and may also form part of the relevant information about op…

Concordance between Sars-CoV-2 index individuals and their household contacts on index individual Covid-19 transmission cofactors
Our results suggest a need to survey index individuals directly in order to accurately capture their transmission cofactors, rather than relying on their household contacts to report on their behavior. The lag in enrolling participants into CoVPN 3502-01 also highlights the importance of timely enrollment to minimize recall bias
Towards a ‘Social Model’ of Mental Capacity for Social Work
The statutory social work role in England and Wales regularly involves assessment and ‘best interests’ decision making under the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) 2005. Legal frameworks that permit substitute decision making have, however, been challenged as a contravention of the human rights of people with disabilities. This article aims to answer the question: ‘Can mental capacity be theorised for social work assessment in England and Wales in a way t…
Communities Setting the Direction for Their Right to Nutritious, Affordable Food
Despite long histories of traditional food security, Indigenous peoples globally are disproportionately exposed to food insecurity. Addressing this imbalance must be a partnership led by Indigenous peoples in accordance with the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. We report the co-design process and resulting design of a food security research project in remote Australia and examine how the co-design process considered Indigenous …
How Can the Literature on Phenomenology Inform the Teaching of Accurate Empathy in Social Work Practice
The ability to demonstrate empathy is identified as a key social work attribute by the professional regulator and other professional bodies as well as in government guidance and the relevant QAA Subject Benchmark Statement. Empathy is strongly linked to the ability to learn from experience and, as such, has relevance beyond social work to higher education in general. This paper will focus on how a phenomenological approach to theorising empathy m…
Healthy Choice Rewards
Poor diet including inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption is a major contributor to the global burden of disease. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians experience a disproportionate level of preventable chronic disease and successful strategies to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in remote areas to consume more fruit and vegetables can help address health disadvantage. Healthy Choice Rewards was a mixed…
Free market for the environment
The tragedy of the commons is responsible for many, if not all, of the environmental problems concerning natural resource preservation that we face in modern society. The tragedy of the commons describes a situation in which resources held “in common”, namely, public resources, are depleted or mistreated by collective action. Basically it means lack of private ownership and almost inevitably leads to a misallocation of resources. And yet, the pre…
Belonging in the Land
To choose a missionary life is to become a stranger at home and abroad, whilst at the same time attempting to construct new networks of belonging. Missionaries have at times identified profoundly with the “foreign,” through economic and political solidarity, or linguistic and cultural immersion, but mission conversely necessitates the attempt to draw the foreign Other into the sphere of Christian fraternal belonging. This paper employs primary te…
The Use of ICTs in Conflict and Peacebuilding
The past five years have seen a rapid increase in international attention on and donor funding for the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) – including Internet platforms, social media, and mobile phone apps – in responding to conflict. With the notable exception of the role of women on social media during the Arab Spring, very little has been written about the use of and focus on these technologies from a feminist perspective…
