Integrative educational leadership: Foundations, core concepts and principles for practice
This article explores the notion of integrative educational leadership, explains the ideas that underpin it and sets out the key principles for practice. Integrative educational leadership seeks out, understands, engages with and holds together the full range of individual and organisational characteristics, capabilities and motivations so that the institution can bring its full authority to the institutional primary task.

Applying Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to Understand the Experience of Digital Health: A Methodological Reflection
Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) is uniquely positioned to enable health researchers and practitioners to gain a rich understanding of the psychosocial experiences of people living with health conditions and their family caregivers. The majority of research in this field pertains to the acceptability, usability and effectiveness of supportive technology in managing or treating health conditions. Acknowledging the ever-growing develo…
Developing and proposing rational and valid principles for effective school governance in England
The rationale for the principles of effective school governance in England, as set out in government regulations, has never been made explicit. This article addresses that issue and develops and proposes such principles. We argue that effective school governance secures the legitimacy of schools as institutions. Such institutional legitimacy is achieved through the institutionalization processes in which the institutional primary task is central.…
Providing Spiritual Care to In-Hospital Patients During Covid-19: A Preliminary European Fact-Finding Study
Historically, there has be a close relationship between the nursing services and spiritual care provision to patients, arising due to the evolvement of many hospitals and nursing programmes from faith-based institutions and religious order nursing. With increasing secularism, these relationships are less entwined. Nonetheless, as nurses typically encounter patients at critical life events, such as receiving bad news or dying, nurses frequently un…

Objective justification, less discriminatory alternatives, and the ‘Great Repeal Bill’
On the 13 July of this year, the UK Government published the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill, 1 more commonly called the ‘Great Repeal Bill’. Aside from the repeal of the European Communities Act 1972 (and with it the proposed ousting of the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice), the Bill’s purpose is to ‘convert the acquis’ of EU law and preserve any UK law implementing EU law. 2 This will include ‘workers’ rights’ and with it their employment …
Employee-referral schemes and discrimination law
Employee-referral schemes (‘introduce a friend’) are in common usage in recruitment. They carry a potential to discriminate by perpetuating an already unbalanced workforce (say, by gender and ethnicity). With this, or course, comes the risk of litigation and bad publicity as well as any inherent inefficiencies associated with discrimination. This article is threefold. First, it examines the present state of the law. Second, it is based on a surve…

Achieving social mobility: The role of equality law
Since it came into office in 2010, the British Coalition Government has shown concern over the nation’s declining social mobility, highlighted in Opening Doors, Breaking Barriers: A Strategy for Social Mobility, which identifies the private/state education divide at the root of the problem. However, despite this educational inequality and segregation, successive governments have not seen equality law as a tool of redress. This may because by trad…
An Exemplary Whig: Edward Kent and the Whig Disposition in American Politics and Law
Seventy men have held the office of Maine governor since statehood in 1820. In An Exemplary Whig David M. Gold outlines in rich detail the life and work of Edward Kent, who served as governor in the years 1838–1839 and 1841–1842. Following the lead of Michael F. Holt in The Rise and Fall of the American Whig Party (1999), Gold asserts that the political decisions that had the greatest impact on nineteenth-century Americans happened at the state l…

The chilling effect and the most ancient form of vengeance: Discrimination and victimising third parties
The recent Equality Act 2010 includes a revised definition of ‘victimisation’, which (in the Act’s most litigated field of employment) prohibits employers from victimising workers who use the legislation. The underlying mischief should be the deterrent effect upon litigants, or potential litigants (the ‘chilling’ effect). One particularly pernicious deterrent is the victimisation, not of the complainant, but of a third party, such as the complain…
Tearing Down the Burning House”: James Buchanan's use of Edmund Burke
The 1854 Ostend Manifesto has long been scorned as an expansionist treatise, a leading indicator of "Young America's" hold on the antebellum Democratic Party, and a signal of Franklin Pierce's failed presidency. Unnoticed is the genesis of the document's most famous metaphor, of Cuba representing a neighbor's "burning house" that could cause American intervention. The primary author of the Manifesto was minister to Great Britain and future presid…
The Multiple Definitions of Harassment and Direct Discrimination: A ‘Pandora's Attic’
It has been received wisdom for some time that some statutory definitions of harassment and discrimination embrace treatment on the ground of a third party's race, or sex, etc, and ‘perceived’ discrimination, that is where the discriminator has acted on a mistaken belief that the victim belonged to a protected group. What was less certain is whether the definitions could embrace a scenario where the treatment was not grounded in anyone's particul…

Equal Treatment, Fault-Based Liability, and Disability-Related-Discrimination: Lewisham London Borough Council v. Malcolm [2008] 3 WLR 194
This case concerns the meaning disability-related-discrimination. It centred on the housing or ‘premises’ provisions of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA 1995), but this House of Lords’ judgment, overruling the long-established Clark v. Novacold, is of great significance to the Act's coverage of employment and the provision of goods, facilities and services. Under the DDA 1995, the functional equivalent of indirect discrimination is dis…
Improving Uk Public Services: A Review of the Evidence
Over a number of years in the UK, public service improvement has been at the centre of both Conservative and Labour policy. Keen to make improvements in public services, the current Labour government is pursuing this issue more strongly than any other. This paper examines the concept of improvement and reviews the academic literature which has empirically assessed improvements in a range of public services. Drawn from over 50 studies of improveme…
Discriminatory Motive and the But for Test: The Proper Approach to Direct Discrimination in Britain and the United States
In recent years, senior judges in Britain have signalled a departure from the longestablished but for test used for direct discrimination cases. They appear to favour instead that the defendant held a discriminatory motive, or even hostility, for liability. In the United States, courts have settled upon a requirement for discriminatory motive, but afforded it such a broad interpretation that is scarcely distinguishable from the but for model, and…

A practice framework is defined as a conceptual map that brings together, in an accessible design, an agency’s approach to social work practice with children and families. Designed as a tool for practitioners, the New Zealand practice framework integrates three perspectives: child-centred; family-led and culturally responsive; and strengths and evidence…
Discrimination Law and the Quota Fear in Britain and the United States
On 19th July 2003, following the (EU) Race Directive, 1 a new definition of indirect racial discrimination carne into force in the United Kingdom. 2 Its principal effect was to annul the Court of Appeal's restrictive interpretation of the previous definition. 3 However, the new definition may have potential to cover a class of case beyond any contemplated by the draftsman, where there is a racially imbalanced workforce, but with no identifiable c…

The authors argue that the Unionist protest has failed in the face of legal reprimands, additional powers …

THE CONFLICT IN NORTHERN IRELAND HAS LASTED FOR OVER sixteen years, defying all attempts by British and Irish governments to reach a solution.
