Collaborating across academia and local government
In the UK, increasing attention is being given to strengthening the use of academically produced evidence within local government. Recent investment from the National Institute for Health and Care Research has supported various initiatives designed to foster closer collaboration between universities and local authorities. This includes the Health Determinants Research Collaborations (HDRCs) and a separate researcher-in-residence programme focused…
Managing DNACPR Recommendations in Residential Care
The use of ‘Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation’ (DNACPR) recommendations has come under scrutiny during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has issued a call for new standards, guidance and training. One group for whom new training is required is ‘capacity professionals’ working in and with residential care facilities. These professionals (including Independent Mental Capacity Advocates and Best Interests Assess…
Criminal records and public sector professional education
Over 11 million people in England and Wales have criminal records, with men, people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds and people from poorer communities being over-represented.

Human rights and Covid-19 triage
In their discussion paper of November 2020, Cook et al present a draft protocol for navigating circumstances in which emergency services are overwhelmed. Their paper suggests that COVID-related triage decisions should be based on clinical assessment, patient and family consultation, and a range of ethical considerations. In this response, we note that the protocol exhibits an ambiguity that is likely to result in irresolvable dilemmas when put in…
Everyone has an agenda’
It is frequently asserted that pressures to assess and manage risk have eroded the therapeutic, rights-based foundation of the human services profession. Some argue that human service workers operate in a culture of fear in which self-protection and blame avoidance, rather than clients' needs, primarily drive decision-making. In the field of Adult Guardianship, it has been suggested that organisational risk avoidance may be motivating application…
