Carers and the missing link
The involvement of users and carers in service planning represents a central plank of reforms in social care, but clear guidance as to what this involvement should entail is absent from the legislation, leaving authorities to develop local involvement strategies. This paper is based on a project mapping the development of services for carers, carried out in the spring of 1994. We argue that the involvement of carers in planning processes at strat…
Conducting a critical interpretive synthesis of the literature on access to healthcare by vulnerable groups
BACKGROUND: Conventional systematic review techniques have limitations when the aim of a review is to construct a critical analysis of a complex body of literature. This article offers a reflexive account of an attempt to conduct an interpretive review of the literature on access to healthcare by vulnerable groups in the UK METHODS: This project involved the development and use of the method of Critical Interpretive Synthesis (CIS). This approach…
Keeping the Fidelity in Stereo Catechesis
This paper examines the opportunities and dangers that can emerge when attempting to make the Gospel relevant to the “new culture” as articulated by French scholar Pierre Babin. It argues that inherent dangers exist when attempting to adapt the Gospel to the characteristics of members of the new culture. These inherent dangers–and the need to try to reach out despite them–are clearly illustrated in the Sister Act movies. Of particular note is the…

Parenting and disabilityDisabled parents' experiences of raising children

Families under the microscope
Existing analysis and discussion about young carers—children caring for ill or disabled family members—has been limited in scope, concentrating on narrow policy and service issues. In this paper, I attempt to introduce a more historical perspective to these debates, by comparing responses to the issue of young caring in the 1990s to resistance encountered in the implementation of child labour and education reforms towards the end of the nineteent…

A response to Aldridge and Becker-'Disability rights and the denial of young carers
Young Carers
This paper critically reviews existing research on young carers. I argue that our knowledge of what young carers do and how they differ from other children, is extremely limited. Without this information, practice recommendations will be based on guesswork and prejudice. I argue that the existing literature pays lip service to the support, or lack of it, that disabled people need to empower them as parents. In this context, I also review research…
