Young people’s right to appeal to the English First-tier Tribunal (Special Educational Needs and Disability)
In England, young people past compulsory school age (the end of the academic year in which they turned 16) were given new rights under the Children and Families Act, 2014. This article focuses on their rights in relation to education, health and care (EHC) plans, particularly the right to request an assessment of their special educational needs (SEN) and to challenge decisions relating to their EHC plan by making an appeal to the First-tier Tribu…
Educational parenting programmes – examining the critique of a global, regional and national policy choice
Educational parenting programmes are an integral part of parenting policy. The use of parenting programmes in England as an element of UK government parenting policy since the late 1990s has attracted the critical attention of academics in education, social policy and other related fields. This paper puts parenting ‘support’ and, specifically, the use of educational parenting programmes in England, in the wider global and regional context. It exa…
The CANparent trial—the delivery of universal parenting education in England
Universal Parenting Programme Provision in England; Barriers to Parent Engagement in the CAN parent Trial, 2012–2014
The CAN parent trial, 2012–2014, was a government initiative in four English areas designed to develop a market in universal parenting support. Fourteen parenting class providers offered classes to all parents of children aged 0–5 in the areas. In three areas, all eligible parents received £100 vouchers exchangeable for a parenting class. Pre‐trial planning was that take‐up would amount to 20 000 parents. However, only 14 per cent of these parent…
I'm just there to ease the burden’
In 2005, the Department for Education and Skills announced a £40 million investment in a new school support worker role, the parent support adviser (PSA), for 20 English local authorities. A pilot project ran from 2006–2008 and resulted in the establishment of 717 PSAs in 1167 schools. The national evaluation of the project forms the evidential basis of this paper, with interviews conducted with 69 PSAs, 85 PSA line managers and 105 parents and a…
The Parenting Early Intervention Programme in England, 2006–2011; a classed experience
Family policy was a key component of the ‘New’ Labour government's family, social and education policy, and a wide range of family focused initiatives and interventions designed to ‘support’ families and improve individual, family and social outcomes were introduced. The post‐May 2010 coalition government's family policy exhibits key elements of policy continuity. There have been strong, class‐based critiques of this approach to social policy, wh…
Fay Taylour
Frances Helen ‘Fay’ Taylour was the most successful woman motor cycle and car racing competitor ever. She excelled in a variety of motor cycle sports—hill climbing, scrambling and, most notably, in speedway, or ‘dirt’ racing. Her successes led her to be repeatedly banned from racing against men. In her political life too, she was banned, being interned without trial for three years during the Second World War as a danger to British national secur…
The Land of My Dreams’
Recent developments in the cultural history of the Great War have begun to change perceptions of the response of British servicemen to their experiences. The view that the war represented a crisis of masculinity, which led to a retreat into the world of men and combatant experience, along with a heightened sense of misogyny, is increasingly under question. This article seeks to utilize a range of middle-brow, war-themed books by British ex-combat…
Supporting fathers to engage with their children's learning and education
The Parent Support Adviser (PSA) role, piloted in 2006–2008 in 20 local authorities (LAs) in England, offered preventative and early intervention support to families where there were concerns about children's school attendance or behaviour. Overall, this was a highly successful initiative in terms of supporting parental engagement with their children's schools. However, this article presents evidence drawn from 162 interviews (with PSAs, their li…
The Fasces and the Saltire
The history of Britain's main manifestation of inter-war fascism, Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists [BUF], continues to be a hotly contested field of study. A new biography of Mosley, work on gender and the BUF, and the incorporation of new models of generic fascism have made important contributions to the historiography of the BUF. However, until recently, almost no historical consideration of the BUF's career in Scotland had been attemp…
Political Violence
The British Union of Fascists (BUF) has been regarded as something of an aberration in British political history, an inappropriate mode of politics. Although almost uniformally unsuccessful in electoral terms, the existence of such an active fascist movement in the industrialized world's most stable liberal democracy gave the BUF an importance out of all proportion to its size and prospects. Renzo de Felice has linked the emergence of Oswald Mosl…
The Development of the Ideas and Policy of the British Union of Fascists, 1932-40
Until the appearance of Neill Nugent's article on the ideas of the British Union of Fascists (BUF) in 1977,' this aspect of British fascism had been largely ignored. Previous work on the BUF concentrated mainly upon questions related to the character of Sir Oswald Mosley, the movement's leader and prime mover, and the novel features of the BUF's organization and campaigns, together with such aspects as anti-semitism and violence. Indeed, recent w…
