Understanding and addressing the post-pandemic learning disparities

Politics and the Right to Work
India's National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), passed in 2005, has been among the developing world's most ambitious anti-poverty initiatives. By “guaranteeing” 100 days of work annually to every rural household, NREGA sought to advance the Indian constitution's commitment to securing citizens’ “right to work”. This book is not a technical evaluation of program performance. It offers instead a detailed analysis of the politics surroundin…
Meeting the health needs of older people with intellectual disabilities
Older people with intellectual disabilities often experience high levels of health needs and multiple morbidities but they may be supported by residential care staff with little or no previous experience of identifying and meeting health needs. Little is known regarding how they undertake this health-related role and this exploratory study seeks to address this gap. A purposive sample of 14 managers of supported living accommodation in Wales were…
Peacebuilding
The emergence of The United Nations Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) in 2005 was the culmination of a long and contentious process. In this work Rob Jenkins provides a concise introduction that traces the origins and evolution of peacebuilding as a concept, the creation and functioning of the PBC as an institution, and the complicated relationship between these two processes. Jenkins discusses how continued contestation over what exactly peacebuild…

Addressing Sexual Violence in Internationally Mediated Peace Negotiations
Negotiated peace agreements rarely address the legacy of wartime sexual violence committed by state and non-state armed actors, even in cases where mass rape has been a prominent feature of the conflict. This article examines why this has been the case. It assesses the implications of UN Security Council resolution 1820 (June 2008), which calls for internationally mediated peace talks to address conflict-related sexual violence; advances reasons …
Policies Don't Protect People, It's How They Are Implemented’
Recent years have seen the development of policy guidance documents in both Wales and England relating to the protection of vulnerable adults from abuse. This policy guidance does, however, require translation into policies at the local level and that these policies are then implemented in day‐to‐day practice. This article reports some of the findings of a two‐year study that examined the development and implementation of such policies in service…
Responding to the abuse of people with learning disabilities
The abuse of people with learning disabilities is a significant problem. The response of the police to abuse that is actually a criminal offence is paramount. This paper reports on a qualitative study into the attitudes and opinions of police officers involved in abuse investigations. The aims were to understand more about the perceptions that police have about their role, the contribution made by the police to the area and to identify good pract…
Evidencing good practice in adult protection
The importance and challenges in providing a good practice evidence base for adult protection are outlined. The literature search, review and mapping exercise that formed part of the Abuse of Adults with Learning Disabilities: Policy, Practice and Educational Implications in Wales research study is detailed. The article presents examples from this evidence mapping exercise and considers the importance of adult protection research to the future de…
Protecting people with learning disabilities from abuse
Learning disability nurses are in a prime position to help protect clients from abuse. But current training programmes are not preparing nurses adequately to fulfill this role. This article argues that a shift in organisational culture is required in order to ensure new knowledge is properly integrated with nurses' experience and training needs
Politics and the development of the Hungarian non-profit sector
One of the important developments in post-Communist Hungary has been the growth of the voluntary or non-profit sector. Under the Communist regime, voluntary associations were controlled and independent organisations were largely suppressed. During the 1980s, advocacy groups and independent associations emerged to challenge the Communist monopoly on organisation. These challenges were instrumental in laying the foundation for the post-Communist no…

Two Modes of Economic Integration in Hungary
The impact of EC 1992 on terrorism and drug trafficking in Europe
Europe's well-publicized march toward a single economic market in 1992 and a borderless Europe has created concerns in the United States about the potential impact of the Single European Act on increasing terrorism and drug trafficking in the European Community (EC) as well as the movement of terrorists and drugs from Europe to the United States. The fight against terrorism and narcotics has captured the attention of the American public and Congr…
