Pupil voice in physical education and the desire for (in)visibility
The importance of children is a universally accepted concept in schools.However, do we actually listen to what children have to say? Rudduck and Fielding [2002.The transformative potential of student voice: Confronting the power issues.Paper presented at BERA Annual Conference, University of Exeter, p. 2] argue that the voices of pupils are 'silent' or 'silenced'.The aim of this study was to listen to the voice of pupils, concerning their experie…

‘Children not trophies’
The welfare of the child in the context of private family law proceedings is of significant international interest. This paper presents findings from an ethnographic study of private law proceedings in England, which explored legal professionals’ experiences of and practice within space and place. Data are derived from interviews with professionals, and observations from the waiting areas, canteens, interview rooms and offices of lawyers who repr…
Care in crisis—Is there a solution? Reflections on the Care Crisis Review 2018
In 2017, the number of applications for care orders in England and Wales was the highest ever recorded at 14,207. This is a significant factor, contributing to the rise in the number of children who are looked after, which is at the highest level since 1985. The authors reflect on the recently published Care Crisis Review 2018 , a sector‐led review, which examines the reasons for the rise in care proceedings and the number of children in care. Th…
Limits to partnership working
Located within a context of widespread change social work professionals are required to navigate tensions between organisational imperatives and developing effective relationships with families. Achieving effective partnership working is premised on the development of relational ways of working where trust is formed through co-creation. The recent emergence of 'Fast-track' approaches in education and training reflects a shift away from developing…
When adoption without parental consent breaches human rights
The Court of Appeal in Re B-S (Children) [2013] EWCA Civ 1146 delivered a judgment on 17 September 2013 that has led to confusion and uncertainty in adoption cases specifically, but public law cases more generally. In his judgment, the President of the Family Division, Sir James Munby, highlighted the need for a greater degree of analysis and a weighing up of all the options for the child, including adoption. Significantly, the President stated t…
Why parents matter
In a climate of austerity, timescales and targets, this paper probes whether parents matter sufficiently within the current child protection system in E ngland. Evidence suggests that achieving partnership working in the context of child protection has become increasingly illusive, particularly when parents are notified that the local authority is considering compulsory intervention to remove their children under the C hildren A ct 1989. Recent c…
Administrative Decision Making in Child-Care Work
The Public Law Outline (PLO) introduced in England and Wales in April 2008 appeared to hold out the promise of a fairer process for parents within pre-proceedings decision-making processes that determine whether or not the local authority will make an application to court. Whilst the rhetoric of the PLO to provide consensual solutions within administrative rather than judicial decision-making processes may be laudable, there are tensions and dile…
Access to Justice for families? Legal advocacy for parents where children are on the ‘edge of care’
This paper examines the issue of professional advocacy for parents in England following the local authority issuing the Letter Before Proceedings when the concerns about the welfare of a child are so serious the local authority are considering applying for a care order. We explore the tensions of providing a legal advocacy service for parents – drawing on a study of 57 cases, scrutinised as part of the Coventry and Warwickshire Cafcass Pre-Procee…
Domestic Violence and Health Care
In this article we take a critical stance toward the rational progressive narrative surrounding the integration of domestic violence within health care. While changes in recent UK policy and practice have resulted in several tangible benefits, it is argued that there may be hidden dilemmas and challenges. We suggest that the medical model of care and its discursive practices position women as individually accountable for domestic violence-related…
Coercive treatment for drug misuse
This article adopts a ‘dialogical’ relational perspective to explore the recently introduced initiative of coercive treatment for drug misuse in the UK. Conversational interviews were undertaken with 11 people who had been sentenced to the Drug Treatment and Testing Order. Receiving treatment for drug misuse is often storied within a motivational account that is expectant of a ‘readiness to change’; such assumptions seem theoretically problematic…

A Look at the Violence Against Women Act and Gender-Related Political Asylum
This article explores two developments in immigration law that have provided avenues for women seeking lawful immigration status to independently assert their rights. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was signed into law on September 13, 1994 and contains the Battered Immigrant Women Provisions that allow battered women to obtain lawful permanent resident status through self-petitioning or suspension of deportation. VAWA applicants should obt…
The Archaic Temple of Apollo at Bassai
Guidelines for Women's Asylum Claims
These Guidelines provide a framework for analyzing and interpreting the claims of women asylum seekers as well as guidance for interviewing women applicants and assessing the evidence they present. Two broad categories of gender-related claims are identified: those where the persecution constitutes a type of harm that is particular to the applicant's gender, such as rape or genital mutilation; and those where the persecution may be imposed becaus…
The Working Cowboy on Film
Results and Impacts of the Resource-Based Relative Value Scale
On January 1, 1992, the Health Care Financing Administration implemented the 1989 legislation reforming the Medicare payment system for physicians' services. The cornerstone of the new payment reform is the Medicare Fee Schedule (MFS), which is based on the Resource-Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS). In this article, the major findings of the RBRVS study and its impacts on physician payment are summarized. The authors report the impacts of a RBR…
