The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on UK medical education. A nationwide student survey
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the delivery of medical education across the UK, with the majority of face-to-face teaching cancelled during the first wave, and medical schools consequently making varied adaptations to education delivery. To identify and share effective adaptations, we conducted a cross-sectional, online survey (COVID Med-Ed) between 20th May and 31st August 2020 which divided undergraduate teaching by GMC “Outc…
Constructing Practitioner Research
The authors draw on a case study evaluation of two networked cohorts of practitioner-researchers in a children's services national social work agency in one of the home countries of the United Kingdom. The aim of the present study was to understand the meaning of practitioner research for social work professionals through an exploration of how language, ascriptions of meaning, and interpretation provide a social environment through which the natu…

Innovation and the Practice of Social Work Research
Each day he made attempts ... but produced nothing but quotations, thinly or well disguised, of his own work. Nothing sprang free of its own idiom, its own authority, to offer the element of surprise that would be the guarantee of originality (McEwan, 1998, p. 61). In the past several years, the sound of the call for ‘innovations’ in social work research has amplified. This call has been accompanied by demands for more rigorous and meaningful soc…
An Exemplary Scheme? An Evaluation of the Integrated Children's System
We outline selected central results from a formative evaluation of four pilot sites in England and Wales of the Integrated Children's System (ICS) – one part of the UK's e-Government strategy. We concentrate on the aspiration of the ICS towards ‘integration’ and ‘systematization’ of services within children's services, at local and national levels. We look in turn at, the use of the ICS as a foundation for aggregate statistical profiles; the expe…
Kinds and Quality of Social Work Research
This paper, drawing on a study of social work research in UK universities, asks—and suggests provisional answers to—two questions. First, is it possible to identify ways to categorize the kinds of research in social work in a form that recognizes and respects the aims and values of social work? Second, assuming we ought to do so, in what ways should the quality of social work research be assessed? In response to examination of output from the 200…
Practitioner Research
In this paper, I revisit some of the origins and more recent directions in practitioner research in social work, seeing it as a phenomenon that—rather than being special or narrowly associated with social work—manifests a pervasive cluster of concerns about good professional practice in contemporary society. Drawing on some general conclusions of a recent study of practitioner inquiry, I indicate ways in which the wider systems of which it is a p…
Do OFSTED Inspections of Secondary Schools Make a Difference to GCSE Results
The Office for Standards in Education (OFSTED) aims to improve school performance through inspection. A government indicator of a secondary school's performance in England and Wales is the students' success in examinations. The examination results of over 3000 OFSTED inspected secondary schools offering students for General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) examination during the 1992 to 1997 inspection cycle were modelled statistically. …
Understanding Young People and Prostitution
The practice and research literature on young people and prostitution reflects a number of methodological challenges. This paper offers a focused review of the literature in the context of those challenges and attempts to draw conclusions that are strong enough to provide a reflective and strategic approach to service planning and implementation. Definitional issues are discussed, particularly in relation to estimates of prevalence. The robustnes…
