For universalism and against the means test
Fighting poverty, inequality and injustice
For universalism and against the means test
A step in the right direction
It is more than a decade since the government announced that Regional Health Authorities (RHAs) should close their long-stay mental handicap hospitals. The North West Regional Health Authority's (NWRHA) commitment to the resettlement of people with learning difficulties into ordinary housing in the community pre-dated the government's cost-driven initiative. In 1982 the Region published A Model District Service, a strategy document supported by b…
Normalisation and 'Normal' Ageing
This paper discusses the new phenomenon of the survival into old age of the increasing numbers of people with learning difficulties. This raises both theoretical and practical policy issues. In the UK health and social services for older people and for people with learning difficulties have followed quite different paths. One has been based on a limited, age discriminatory view of 'normal' ageing; the other has focused on a potentially liberating…
Older People with Learning Difficulties Leaving Institutional Care—A Case of Double Jeopardy
People with learning difficulties are now surviving into old age and more and more of them are being resettled from long-stay hospitals. The main purpose of this article is to examine some of the key barriers facing, and dilemmas involved in, the provision of community-based services to this newly emerging user group. The findings of some recent field research on older people with learning difficulties who have been resettled into the community a…
Generation and Verification of Inferences by Experts and Trained Nonexperts
This experiment explored how expert credit administrators and trained, but not yet expert, credit administrators (i.e., trained nonexperts, TNEs) differ in their ability to generate and verify inferences. Subjects read a case study describing a bank that appeared to be growing rapidly but, because of quality control problems, was heading for major difficulty. Subsequently, they performed a retelling task, a recognition task, and a problem identif…
Reforming Supplementary Benefit
The Government bill to reform social security will become an Act in 1986, and is planned for implementation in April 1987. One of the most significant areas for change will be the supplementary benefit scheme, which now has some four million claimants, and supports over seven million people. It will be replaced by the income support scheme, which will differ in important respects from the current provision. The review of the SB scheme, set up by …
Social Assistance
The major changes to the supplementary benefits scheme introduced by the Conservative Government under the provisions of the Social Security Act 1980 emanated from a review of the scheme set up by the previous Labour Administration. The article examines how the structure and approach adopted for the SB review allowed the policy making process to survive a change of Government. In particular, the article examines why it was decided to carry out th…
Comprehension of stories and expository text
Temporal Organization in Prose
Sixty high school students studied two, five-paragraph text passages in which the content was organized around either a semantic, temporal, or random theme. Half of the learners in each group were instructed to try to organize the material in some fashion which would aid them in remembering it on a later test. All students received free recall, semantically cued and temporally cued tests following reading. In free recall, both the semantic and te…
Fingerprints and criminal conviction
An Elementary and Practical Grammar of the Galla or Oromo Language
there is every reason why this desire to study the native language should be encouraged at our Universities and Oriental School. The necessary material is there in the notes which form a leading feature of vol. I, and is very fully dealt with. But its acquisition without adequate map or index is, to say the least, laborious and unsatisfying. Secondly, the time is fully ripe for a periodical in which African philology and its bearings on ethnology…
