The collection and integration of data on migrants in health information systems
Addressing disparities and promoting health for migrants requires policies and practices that are grounded in comprehensive and accurate health data. Health Information Systems (HIS) play a crucial role in this process. However, data on migrants is often incomplete and of poor quality in European HIS. A recent scoping review identified a gap in research on strengthening HIS for data on the health of migrants in Ireland, a country where one in fiv…
Goal Setting within Care Environments for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Background: Effective person-oriented goal setting in care environments is challenging owing to the complexity of the environment, and the requirement of supportive person-centred care. Health and social care settings, such as the community-care sector, aim to holistically address persons’ care needs, however, much of the guidance in the literature focuses explicitly on health. Effective person-centred care should consider all goals of the person…
Person-Centered Plans from the Perspective of Persons-Supported in a Community Care Organization
Background: Person-centred plans (PCPs) are widely used in community care organizations and required for service providers in many jurisdictions, but there are very few guidelines, evidence, or formal evaluations of PCP creation and implementation practices. PHSS is a non-profit community-care organization in a large urban city in Ontario, Canada. Objective: To describe person-centred planning and implementation practices from the perspective of …
Examining Individualized Participatory Approaches to Care for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Background: Patient-centred care plans (PCPs) have been identified as a favourable upstream intervention for community-care populations to improve client outcomes, client and provider experiences, and reduce costly and preventable health service utilization; however, there is limited evidence on implemented approaches. Aim: Our study aims to address this gap by exploring individualized participatory approaches to care planning as a means to impro…
Validation of a new scale Evaluating the Personal, Interpersonal and Contextual dimensions of growth through learning – the Epic scale
Learning Together (LT) is a co-educational programme that brings prison- and university-based students together to study in ways that encourage growth via transformative learning. Interviews with participating students identified six core factors that they believed LT fosters: self-efficacy, interpersonal-efficacy, self-esteem, perspective-taking, future orientation, and social cohesion. The current study aimed to validate a new scale Evaluating …
What's so good about participation? Politics, ethics and love in Learning Together
This article tells the story of our movement towards using participatory approaches in an action research project aiming to understand the experiences and impacts of belonging to learning communities that span prison and university walls. We draw on our experiences over the past 5 years of building learning communities involving students from higher education and criminal justice organisations and describe some of our attempts to provide creative…
Parole and Beyond
In 2010 a cross-sectorial reentry framework was launched as the ‘Schedule of the Good Release’. The ambition was to implement the actions outlined in the Schedule to all prisons and municipalities in Denmark to strengthen the cross-sectorial collaboration concerning parole and to support the parolees. The primary purpose of the Schedule was to prevent crime and secure parolees’ rights to social security and support. This chapter focuses on parole…

F*ck It!’
Drawing on interview data from three countries (Australia, United States and England), this article examines setbacks and recovery in desistance from crime. We show that giving up crime is a fragile project and that the implications of fragility in desistance are rarely integrated into pre- and post-release support options. To shine a light on the ‘phenomenological foreground’ of this fragility, we use Matza’s concepts of desperation and infracti…
Trusting the Untrustworthy
This article analyses the nature of trust involved in mentoring ex-prisoners. Literature outlines understandings of well-placed trust as dependent upon the motivations of the trust parties, placed in those who are perceived to be trustworthy, or placed in those who have the potential to be trust-responsive. This article describes how faith-based volunteer mentors’ motivations to serve God rather than save man facilitated their bestowal of unearne…
Recapturing Freedom , Dot Goulding
My Brother's Keeper
Cullompton : Willan ( 2005 ) 390pp. £45.00hb ISBN 978-1-84392-061-8 If an after-dinner conversation ever needs a little catalytic spark there are two reliable subjects that will always do the trick: God and crime. Combination of the two might be considered unwise. However, this is exactly what has happened in practice over the last ten years with the proliferation of faith-based units in prisons within England and America, now spreading to Europe…
