METHODS: A cross-sectional study. A Dutch online survey was distributed among eight different disciplines of primary and secondary HCPs. Potential barriers and facilitators were identified based on participants' responses…

Recent UK retirees’ views about the work-related factors which influenced their decision to retire
Recent retirees explained that their decision to retire was multi-factorial but work-related factors contributed importantly. Potentially, employers could: review workers' perceptions about their work; their capacity in relation to job demands; increase flexibility; and facilitate a supportive work community to encourage longer working lives
Conservatism and ‘Eurorealism’ in the European Parliament
After the 2019 European Parliament (EP) election, the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) party grouping experienced a major change in its representation and leadership, with the wholescale departure of its core British Conservative MEPs. Yet the ECR remained an important and coherent transnational party federation in Strasbourg, acting as a strong voice for conservatism in Europe as distinct from Christian Democracy and the radical right…
Older working adults in the Heaf study are more likely to report loneliness after two years of follow-up if they have negative perceptions of their work quality
Loneliness amongst middle-aged working adults is not predicted by permanent work exit but is predicted by individuals' perceptions about their work. Provision of good-quality work, matched to the capacity of the older worker, could prevent loneliness
Equity-Specific Effects of Interventions to Promote Physical Activity among Middle-Aged and Older Adults
Reducing social inequalities in physical activity (PA) has become a priority for public health. However, evidence concerning the impact of interventions on inequalities in PA is scarce. This study aims to develop and test the application of a strategy for re-analyzing equity-specific effects of existing PA intervention studies in middle-aged and older adults, as part of an international interdisciplinary collaboration. This article aims to descri…
Gaining Access to Possibly Abused or Neglected Adults in England
This paper reports on a study that examined social workers’ and service-user representatives’ perspectives on current options for accessing older people living at home when entry is being obstructed by a third party, there are concerns about possible abuse or neglect and legal approaches are not considered appropriate. In-depth interviews were conducted with social workers (n = 37) and service-user representatives (n = 11) from three English loca…
The Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Models of Organising Adult Safeguarding
Professionals express divergent views about whether adults at risk are best served by safeguarding work being incorporated into social workers’ casework or being undertaken by specialist workers within local area or centralised teams. This paper draws on findings from the final two phases of a three-phase study which aimed to identify a typology of different models of organising adult safeguarding and compare the advantages and disadvantages of t…
Models of Adult Safeguarding in England
Adult safeguarding is the subject of increasing attention in England and internationally. This article draws on research which developed a typology of ‘models of safeguarding’. ‘Models’ refer to different ways local authorities in England organise adult safeguarding (about which there is little evidence) rather than ‘model’ approaches to be emulated. The four models identified were: Dispersed-Generic (safeguarding work undertaken by operational t…
Do Personal Budgets Increase the Risk of Abuse? Evidence from English National Data
With the continued implementation of the personalisation policy, Personal Budgets (PBs) have moved to the mainstream in adult social care in England. The relationship between the policy goals of personalisation and safeguarding is contentious. Some have argued that PBs have the potential to empower recipients, while others believe PBs, especially Direct Payments, might increase the risk of abuse.This paper provides empirical evidence about levels…
Euro-Realism’ in the 2014 European Parliament Elections
The European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) emerged as the third largest 'Euro-party' after the 2014 European elections, and are now well-positioned to perform a central role alongside the European People's Party and the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the eighth session of the European Parliament (EP). Despite this, relatively little is known about the views that ECR politicians represent, especially their core party ideo…
Educators or Researchers? Barriers and Facilitators to Undertaking Research among UK Social Work Academics
There is evidence that variable access to training, support mechanisms and resources limits social work research capacity. A survey circulated to UK social work academics in 2008 was completed by 249 respondents (response rate 33 per cent). A sub-sample of twenty-nine respondents was selected for follow-up telephone interview. Both interview and survey data revealed respondents' enthusiasm for undertaking research but highlighted the practical di…
The ‘Making’ of Social Workers
Social work education, social work practice and social work skills have been long-standing policy interests in England but the views of line managers of newly qualified social workers (NQSWs) have not always informed debate. This paper reports on interviews with 23 line managers which asked about their experiences of managing NQSWs. Interviews were held across a diverse range of English local authorities in 2009–2010 and covered participants’ gen…
Framing Electoral Reform in the 2011 UK Alternative Vote Referendum Campaign
The 2011 British referendum on the electoral system offered voters a change within the majoritarian family from single-member plurality to the alternative vote. The alternative vote is not proportional, but the ‘yes’ campaign in the United Kingdom included small parties and ‘democracy sector’ organisations previously associated with advocating proportional representation. This anomalous behaviour can be explained by applying social movement theor…
Interactional perspectives on the mistreatment of older and vulnerable people in long-term care settings
This article draws on a study aimed at developing theoretical and methodological understanding of the abuse and neglect (mistreatment) of older people in long-term care settings such as care homes and hospitals. It presents an interactionist account of mistreatment of older people in such establishments. Starting with an outline of definitional issues surrounding the topic, the allied concept of dignity is also briefly explored, and one important…
Communication with Migrant Workers
There have been few studies of people’s experiences of receiving care from migrant workers. This is despite the growing move to employ migrants to provide care and support for older and disabled people in the developed world. This article reports empirical findings from a study of migrants working in social care in England conducted between 2007 and 2009. It focuses on the reported interactions between service users and carers with migrant worker…

User and Carer Experiences of International Social Care Workers in England
This paper develops a typology of people using social care services’ preferences for care workers and satisfaction with social care services from a large multimethod study that explored international recruitment to the English social care sector (home and health care, including residential homes). We developed this typology with two questions in mind: (a) what led to satisfaction of care and (b) what led to preference and satisfaction with worker…
Implementing Consumer Choice in Long‐term Care
In common with many advanced welfare states, England has increasingly relied on consumerist principles to deliver both greater quality and improved efficiency in the long‐term care system. The Individual Budget (IB) pilots marked the next step in this process, through a new system of funding whereby greater control of resources is given to service users, in lieu of direct in‐kind care provision. IBs have the potential to transform the market for …
International social workers in England
Recent years have seen considerable increases in the number of internationally-qualified social workers in England. This article presents trends in the international labour mobility of social workers migrating to work in England alongside information on the supply of UK-trained social workers. It concludes that demographic changes and policy imperatives have accentuated structural issues making it difficult to ensure an adequate supply in the num…
Experiences of racism and discrimination among migrant care workers in England
n Abstract \nThis article reports part of the findings of research undertaken in 2007-09 that aimed to investigate the contribution made by migrant workers to the care workforce in England. The study involved analysis of national statistics on social care and social workers and semi-structured interviews with a wide range of stakeholders, including 96 migrant care workers. The interviews elicited some accounts relating experiences of racism and d…
Assessing the Role of Increasing Choice in English Social Care Services
This article aims to explore the concept of choice in public service policy in England, illustrated through findings of the Individual Budgets (IB) evaluation. The evaluation tested the impact of IBs as a mechanism to increase choice of access to and commissioning of social care services around the individual through a randomised trial and explored the experiences and perspectives of key groups through a large set of interviews. The article prese…
Support workers in social care in England
This paper reports the findings of a scoping study designed to describe the evidence base with regard to support workers in social care in the United Kingdom and to identify gaps in knowledge. Multiple bibliographic databases were searched for studies published since 2003. The results revealed that the support worker role, though not well-defined, could be characterised as one aimed at fostering independence among service users, undertaking tasks…
Social care as first work experience in England
Migrant workers are increasingly important to the care sector in England as well as in other developed countries. The profile of migrants is likely to continue changing due to reforms in immigration policy and legislation limiting the range of jobs open to migrants from non-EU countries while facilitating migration from the new European Union accession countries. This article reports on detailed secondary analysis of newly available data on the c…
Accusations of misconduct among staff working with vulnerable adults in England and Wales

This article reports on part of a larger research study investigating the Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) List. It focuses on different kinds of mitigation used by staff to counter allegations of harmin…

Workload Management in Social Work Services
This article offers an overview of workload management in social work within an overall context of fast changes to professional activities. Three factors are identified as creating a current need to manage workload effectively and transparently. First, high levels of workload have been connected with negative impacts on practice and outcomes (although the precise impact is not clear). Second, high workload levels have been associated with increas…

The Derivation of 'Ain't
IF STUDIES of usage or the rules in the school grammars are any guide at all, we must admit that the contraction ain't is still one of the most disapprovedof idioms in our language. A thorough investigation of the etymology of the contraction will undoubtedly reveal that historically it is no less reputable than any other verbal contraction. It is a fact that very little work has been done to determine the origin of ain't. Journals of philology a…

The Theater of Devotion
The Intertextuality of Late Medieval Art and Drama
a subject of wide interest and divergent views throughout the history of modern scholarship. It is perhaps fair to say that at least one major issue has now been put to rest, namely, the proposition that the religious drama generated various iconographic motifs in medieval Christian art. Foremost among the proponents of this theory was Emile Male, though others in more recent times, including W. L. Hildburgh, M. D. Anderson, and Otto Paecht, have…

Secessionist Politics and Religious Conservatism
The Scottish National party's 2007 devolved election campaign was endorsed by two prominent ‘conservative’ Christians – Brian Souter, one of Scotland's richest men, and Cardinal Keith O'Brien, the leader of the Scottish Catholic Church. The article offers two explanations for this, both linked to the improved opportunity structure created by devolution: first, the Scottish Labour party lost the trust of these faith-based interests over the ‘Secti…
