Enhancing Equity for Women’s Leadership in International Schools Through Transformative Action
Despite increased recognition of its importance, most activities promoting the inclusion of women in leadership in the international schooling sector occur within discrete pockets or subgroups of women advocating for and supporting other women. Actions being taken by these women for women are not reaching a broader audience and have yet to sufficiently address the challenge of meeting gender equity in leadership in international schools. This art…
Precarious Capital
Research investigating the experiences of women experiencing homelessness often highlights the prevalence of (sexual/domestic) violence and abuse in their trajectories. Drawing on observations across a sample of English statutory and voluntary sector homelessness services and 60 semi-structured interviews with practitioners and with women with homelessness experiences, this study explores these experiences of gender-based violence and the relatio…
Unveiling the Economic Implications of Gaps in Responses to Self‐Neglect
This paper explores the economic implications of different support scenarios for individuals who self‐neglect whilst experiencing multiple exclusion homelessness (MEH) or hoarding behaviour (HB). It draws on analysis of six Safeguarding Adults Reviews (SARs) of self‐neglect‐related deaths from across English localities. Focused on the last one or 2 years of an individual’s life, the SARs provide a detailed examination of resource utilisation acro…
Crossing the threshold
This article presents the results of a study considering the extent of teaching on ‘multiple exclusion homelessness’ in social work curricula in England. A national ‘Call for Evidence’ was sent to all universities in England providing a social work qualifying program and yielded 45 responses from 39 universities. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 key informants (social work academics, students, and placement providers) in order to…
Fresh evidence on the relationship between years of experience and teaching quality
It is commonly assumed that experienced teachers are more proficient than beginners. However, evidence supporting this premise is complicated by diverging research traditions and mixed results. We explore the fundamental relationship between years of experience and teaching quality using a comprehensive pedagogical model. Our analysis of 990 lessons, taught by 512 primary teachers in New South Wales during 2014–15 and 2019–21, found no significan…
School Educators’ Use of Research
Increasingly, there are expectations internationally that schools will use research to inform their improvement initiatives. Within this context, this paper brings together findings from two large-scale Australian studies – the Monash Q Project and the University of Newcastle’s Quality Teaching Rounds Project – to explore educators’ patterns of engagement with research. The combination of these studies provides data from a larger and more diverse…
Social work practice with self-neglect and homelessness
This article reports social workers’ attitudes and approaches to working with people experiencing multiple exclusion homelessness (MEH) who self-neglect, and whether these people receive services, including safeguarding, differently from other populations. It draws on telephone interviews in 2020 with twenty-two social workers working with adults in a range of statutory local authority and National Health Service hospital roles in England. Interv…
Locating the place of ‘design’ across the Australian Curriculum
Scaling up effective professional development
Delivering effective professional development (PD) at scale necessitates a careful balance between program integrity and local adaptation. Drawing on qualitative case study data, this paper explores tensions in the implementation of a successful PD program, Quality Teaching Rounds, within two contrasting school communities in New South Wales, Australia. Using the theoretical distinction between ostensive and performative aspects of implementation…
Social Work Practice with Adults under the Rising Second Wave of Covid-19 in England
The impacts on adult social work in England of the Covid-19 pandemic were sudden and are proving long-standing. In England, many social workers moved to home working and virtual contact with colleagues, managers, staff from other agencies and service users. A first national lockdown was followed by a lessening of restrictions, but a second wave started at the end of Summer 2020 and restrictions were re-introduced. This study draws on telephone in…
Methodological insights from ethnomethodology and conversation analysis
Rejection or Confirmation of Racial Identity
The problems of underachievement or poor achievement among Black students has received much attention in the scholarly and professional literature. Many theories and explanations have been proposed to explain the achievement problems of Black students in general, and high-achieving Black students in particular. In this article we present an overview of that literature, giving special attention to research on peer pressure and its impact on achiev…
‘We’re effectively becoming immigration officers’
In the UK care sector, as much as other fields of work, managers need to check and monitor the immigration status of their staff. In this article, we examine accounts from care home and home care managers of making decisions about recruitment and employment practices placing these in the context of risk work. We use data from a secondary analysis of interviews with 121 social care managers that took place in four contrasting English local authori…
Workforce diversity and conflicts in care work
The care workforce in England is ethnically diverse yet little is known of how managers manage this aspect of human resources work. This article reports findings from a longitudinal study of the care workforce to offer insights into managers’ views of staff demographics, relationships and management challenges and strategies. Three themes emerged from the analysis: sources of conflict; reactive approaches to limiting conflict; and proactive appro…
Combining analytical tools to inform practice in school-based professional experience
Doing, Being and Becoming a Valued Care Worker
This paper presents and discusses data from a study of the views of people using social care services and of family carers about their care workers, what they do that is valued, what are valued characteristics, and how people become or are made ‘good’ care workers. It is set within the context of policy interest in England in values based recruitment as a means to address some of the problems in social care services arising from high levels of tu…
Frailty and Social Care
Definitions of frailty are much debated. The focus of this article is on the representation of frailty; who employs the terms ‘frail’ or ‘frailty’ in social care, about whom and with what meanings? We report secondary analysis of interview data from two waves of a longitudinal study starting in 2008. Study participants were 240 social care managers/practitioners working in four English localities. Social care managers and practitioners did not ta…

Design/methodology/approach This paper reports on an analysis of media reactions to recent exposé of abuse in social care in England and data from an interview-based stu…
Disclosing disability in the context of professional regulation
In the UK, the ‘fitness to practice’ criteria that allow regulatory bodies to use health standards to restrict entry to the human professions have resulted in some disabled people being excluded from this workforce. Disclosure of disability is therefore a risky process for those aiming to practice or train in nursing, social work and teaching. This research, commissioned to inform the Disability Rights Commission's Formal Investigation into fitne…
Making Decisions about Who Should Be Barred from Working with Adults in Vulnerable Situations
This article reports on an element of recently completed research that aimed to explore factors leading to placement on the Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) List—a barring list unique to England and Wales. A multiple methods approach was adopted, involving in-depth quantitative analysis of POVA referral records and a set of discussion groups and interviews investigating how decisions were being made. This article focuses on this latter elem…

This article reports the findings of interviews with 15 adult safeguarding co‐ordinators in the London area about the operation of the Act and its impact upon adult safeguarding work, particularly in relation to people with dementia. The interviews covered participants' own training and understanding of the Act, their confidence in practice and capacity to be local sources…
Banned from working in social care
Since July 2004, employers of social care staff working with vulnerable adults in England and Wales have been legally required to refer workers or volunteers dismissed for misconduct because they have harmed vulnerable adults or placed them at risk of harm to the Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) list. The POVA list is unique to England and Wales, and is a powerful tool of quality assurance for the care sector and for the safeguarding of vul…
Accusations of misconduct among staff working with vulnerable adults in England and Wales

Safeguarding and System Change
Cash for care or consumer-directed services are increasing in scope and size in Europe and North America. The English Department of Health initiated a pilot form of personalised support for adults (Individual Budgets) in 13 local authorities that aimed to extend opportunities for users of social care services to determine their own priorities and preferences in the expectation that this will enhance their well-being. This article reports on and d…
Training for Change
Individual Budgets are central to the implementation of English government policy goals in social care. Like other consumer-directed or self-directed support programmes operating in parts of the developed world, they are envisaged as a way of increasing individuals' choice and control over social care resources provided by the public sector. While the opportunities they provide for people using services have been identified prospectively in the E…

Brown v. Board of Education at 40
INTRODUCTIONOn May 17, 1954, the United States Supreme Court handed down perhaps its most significant ruling of all time. In a unanimous 9-0 opinion in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas (Brown I) (1954), the Court held that the de jure segregation of public education based on race deprived minority children of equal educational opportunities in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. A year later, in Brown II (…

Many indexes suggest the existence of the bifurcation of the education profession into teaching (female dominated) and administration (male dominated). For numerous reasons, much of the historical research in educational administration has been dominated by the male experience and perspective. It is common knowledge that women have been excluded from the administrative ranks and other positions of authority in education. What we have witnessed is…

Progressive Education and the Black College
When the authors began to study the phenomenon of progressive education, they were confronted by the con-spicuous absence of material on this subject in Black education-particularly Black colleges. A survey of the major Progressive Education Association journal, Progressive Educa-tion, provided only a few articles that focused on progressive education and Black schools and dealt with the issue mainly in terms of experimental human relations cours…
Minority Students, Ability Grouping, and Career Development
A major function of school counseling has been the placement of students in career-oriented tracks. Thus, the most forceful influence on student vocational development is the placing of students in certain ability tracks. These tracks will not neces-sarily state who will become a blue-collar worker or lawyer, but they do separate students into professional- and non-profes-sional-oriented groups. Most school counselors do very little career counse…

Education, Society, and the Brown Decision
Of the ideals that animated the American nation at its beginning, none was more radiant or honored than the inherent equality of mankind. There was dignity in all human flesh, Americans proclaimed, and all must have its chance to strive and to excel. All men were to be protected alike from the threat of rapacious neighbors and from the prying or coercive state. If it is a sin to aspire to conduct of a higher order than one may at the moment be ca…

A Districtwide Application of the Effective Schools Research
Blacks are now serving as superintendents in over one hundred school districts throughout the country. There are Black superintendents in big cities, such as Oakland, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, and Detroit, and in smaller areas, e.g., Perris, Calif.; Port Gibson, Miss.; and Moscow, Ark. When Blacks are appointed superintendents or even principals, we can generally make certain assumptions about the nature of the district or school. We can gener…
