Silence, Signals, and Split-Second Meaning
The literature on communication in team sports has also focused mostly on verbal interaction whereas the use of nonverbal cues to facilitate real-time collective sensemaking has been underdeveloped. Based on the coordination theory and the model of collective sensemaking as presented in the communication research, this observational-computational study focused on the topic of nonverbal communication in 24 professional games (12 football and 12 ba…

A Community Perspective on Boxing, Well‐being and Young People
Communities possess various resources, such as sporting organisations, that establish positive relationships with young people whom statutory services may struggle to engage. Boxing has been shown to attract individuals from diverse cultural and socio‐economic backgrounds, offering proven benefits in areas such as physical health and engagement. When taking into consideration mental and physical well‐being, there is limited knowledge regarding th…
Post Covid sequelae among Covid-19 survivors
INTRODUCTION: The effects of COVID-19 infection persist beyond the active phase. Comprehensive description and analysis of the post COVID sequelae in various population groups are critical to minimise the long-term morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19. This analysis was conducted with an objective to estimate the frequency of post COVID sequelae and subsequently, design a framework for holistic management of post COVID morbidities. ME…
Development and Evaluation of an eLearning Training Module to Improve United Kingdom Secondary School Teachers’ Knowledge and Confidence in Supporting Young People Who Self-Harm
Background Self-harm is a major public health concern with evidence suggesting that the rates are higher in the United Kingdom than anywhere else in Europe. Increasingly, policy highlights the role of school staff in supporting young people (YP) who are self-harming, yet research indicates that school staff often feel ill-equipped to provide support and address self-harm behaviors. Here, we assess the impact of a bespoke eLearning module for Unit…

Confiding in others
In the general population, confiding is typically associated with increased well-being, reduced distress and strengthened relationships. However, there is a lack of research exploring the role of confiding among young people who have been in the care system. The current study employed Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to guide the analysis of semi-structured interviews with eight young people with a range of care experiences, looking…
‘They don’t meet the stereotypes in the boxes…’
Background: Looked-after children (LAC) frequently experience greater mental health challenges than the general child population. There has been a call for greater focus on early preventative interventions and priority access to specialist mental health support for this population. Brief mental health screening tools often provide the gateway to services and yet there is a lack of suitable assessment tools available for LAC. The current study is …
Keeping secrets
This article follows on from ‘How children in foster care engage with loyalty conflict: presenting a model of processes informing loyalty’ ( Dansey, John and Shbero, 2018 ), published in the previous edition of this journal. This model highlighted the themes of stigma and secrecy for children in care, which it was felt warranted further consideration in their own right. The current article shares further quotations from the children in relation t…
How children in foster care engage with loyalty conflict
The increasing emphasis on outcomes for children in care has prompted much research and drawn attention to the importance of harnessing users’ views on the services they receive. However, this awareness is still limited in some areas, one of which is the loyalty conflict experienced by children in foster care who have to negotiate living with a new family while also retaining their birth family membership. This study assesses the extent to which …

But it is quite possible for a culture to exist without a social idea of children." These social ideas …
Educating the policy maker? European comparative research
Comparative studies of the situation within each of the member states of the European Community have often been commissioned in order to inform policy development. This paper, by means of a number of examples taken largely from the development of policies relating to disability, examines the usefulness of comparative research studies. This enquiry focuses on them as contributions to policy, to knowledge, to practice and to theory, and as part of …
