The relationship between dyslexia, autism, and academic outcomes
Dyslexia and autism are neurodevelopmental conditions known to influence educational experiences, yet their distinct impacts on academic outcomes remain underexplored in large-scale population studies. This study utilises longitudinal, population-level administrative data from Wales to examine the relationships between dyslexia and autism identification and educational attainment across all key educational stages in children born between 2002 and…
Using the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation in research
To avoid biased estimates, researchers using WIMD in studies on health, education, housing, physical environment, income, employment, community safety, and access to services should consider how these domains are related to their outcomes. We describe a methodology for researchers to quantify any bias in their own studies
Sociodemographic trends in special educational needs identification in Wales
In the context of an emerging new additional learning needs (ALN) system in Wales, this research explores who was likely to be identified with special educational needs (SEN) under the previous system. Our study reveals analysis of linked Welsh education and health data on SEN identification in learners in mainstream education settings born between 2002/3 and 2008/9. Using longitudinal multilevel modelling, we explore (i) who is likely identified…

Environmental impact assessment
Current Practice in the Strategic Environmental Assessment of Development Plans in England
In the UK, strategic environmental assessment has been applied to the full hierarchy of development plans in the form of environmental appraisal. Government guidance in England contains a forceful recommendation to local planning authorities to assess the environmental effects of proposed development plans by carrying out an environmental appraisal of their policies and proposals. This advice has grown in importance with the adoption of the Europ…

Development of the EIA process in Cyprus
It is expected that Cyprus will join the European Union (EU) during the next enlargement (anticipated 2003-2005) and will therefore need to incorporate various European legislation, regulations and standards into existing legal, administrative and operational frameworks, including environmental impact assessment (EIA) as set out in Directives 85/337/EEC and 97/11/EC. This paper evaluates the Cyprus EIA provisions and makes a number of suggestions…
Evaluating the Written Discourse of Students Using English as a Second Language
This article draws on an earlier paper (Jones, 2000) about task-based learning as a means of helping students to develop their second language use. In that paper I described the task demands and how the programme design made it possible to examine the students’ responses to them: the essays they produced, their reactions and their perfections of how they worked. Here I focus only on the essay texts. A key problem of assessing students’ essays is …

Environmental assessment (EA) is intended to ensure that environmental considerations are properly weighed in the decisions made by local planning authorities on planning applications. This paper analyses whether, to what extent, and how, EA has influenced LPA decisions. Forty case studies were analysed by examining relevant documentation and conducting interviews with participants in the EA process. EA appears to have had a gradual rather than a…
