Invisible Skills, Unequal Burdens
Co-production and participatory research now occupy a prominent place within sociology and across neighbouring disciplines, framed as more inclusive and democratic forms of knowledge-making. Yet the emotional labour that sustains these collaborations often goes unrecognised. This article examines both the nature of that invisible labour and its unequal distribution, falling disproportionately on early-career and precariously employed researchers.…
What is the Impact of the Benefit Cap and two‐child Limit on the Health and Wellbeing of Children and Young People in the UK ? A Rapid Review of Qualitative Evidence
Over the past 15 years, the UK government has implemented significant welfare reforms. This paper reports a rapid review of qualitative data about the impact of the benefit cap and two‐child limit on children and young people's health and wellbeing. Four peer‐reviewed journal articles and 21 grey literature sources were included. The review, the first synthesis of qualitative evidence, demonstrates that the policies reduce children and young peop…
“People shouldn’t Have to be Worried About Going Broke All the Time.” The Views of Primary School Children on Their Needs, Government Support for Families and Universal Credit
Universal Credit (UC) is a UK social security payment to unemployed and low-income adults which includes an “additional element” for children. UC is criticised for inadequate payments and design features which impact children’s rights to provision, protection and participation. Children’s voices are noticeably absent from academic studies and policy documents on UC, which focus instead on the views, experiences and behaviours of adults. This arti…
Evaluating Process and Outcomes of Public Involvement in Applied Health and Social Care Research
You’re sort of building community in a bigger way”
Creative, nature-based activities, delivered with an ethic of care, present an opportunity to recognise and engage complex and, at times, opposing undercurrents inherent in social connections between individuals and social groups
We don’t make best use of art in public health’
We explore the extent to which collaborations between researchers, public, policy and practice partners, and theatre makers can raise awareness of the effects of Universal Credit, challenge negative attitudes about Universal Credit claimants, and stimulate debate about the adequacy of social security in the UK
You can see when your parents are struggling
By 2025, over eight million UK households will be receiving Universal Credit (UC). Introduced in 2013 to simplify the benefit system and improve work incentives for working age adults, UC has been criticised for causing hardship and exacerbating inequalities. There is limited research on children and young people's (CYP) views of UC, as well as its health and social impacts. In this pilot qualitative study, creative methods were used to understan…
Exploring the health and sociodemographic characteristics of people seeking advice with claiming universal credit
As the rollout for UC continues, it is important to understand how changes in eligibility for UC may impact on those who need help with applying for UC. Ensuring that the advice process and application process is responsive to a range of people with different needs can help to reduce the likelihood that the process of claiming UC will exacerbate health inequalities
A rapid review of children and young people's views of poverty and welfare in the context of Universal Credit
Children and young people's (CYP) life chances depend heavily on family resources. This paper reports a rapid review of qualitative/mixed method studies about Universal Credit undertaken with CYP in the UK; subsequently expanded to include additional descriptors of economic disadvantage. Sixteen studies were reviewed; narrative synthesis was used to explore themes. Most recruited CYP with experience of economic disadvantage; none explicitly repor…
What I really want is academics who want to partner and who care about the outcome’
Background: Local government (LG) is ideally placed to influence the determinants of public health (PH) and reduce inequalities, but opportunities are routinely missed. Aims and objectives: The aim of the Local Authority Champions of Research (LACoR) study was to explore ways to embed a culture of evidence use in LG. Methods: Five linked work packages were undertaken using mixed methods. In this paper, we report data from semi-structured intervie…
Mobilising knowledge in public health
Background: Fuse was established in 2008 as one of five public health research centres of excellence in the UK funded by the UK Clinical Research Centres collaboration. The centre works across five universities in the North East of England. This is an innovative collaboration and enables the pooling of research expertise. A prime focus of the centre is not just the production of excellent research, but also its translation into usable evidence, a…
The social meanings of the C-Card scheme
This paper draws on findings from an analysis of interviews with young people aged 14–18 years, to explore the peer influences in young people's informal social networks which can affect their access to sexual health services. The research focuses on the social meanings of a C-Card condom distribution scheme in North East England. Such schemes are widespread in the UK as a way of providing access to condoms and sexual health advice for young peop…
