First published in 1999, this volume is a collection of essays
focused on the theme of partnership with parents in social work
practice with children and families. It covers issues relating to
the quality of care and preparation for aftercare, particularly
children's identity needs and preparation for life after care which
are highlighted in the Quality Protects programme. It developed
from an action research project, funded by the Joseph Rowntree
Foundation and conducted by the editors a Warwick University
between 1993 and 1996. Through teaching activities associated with
the implementation of the Children Act 1989 the editors became
aware that there were many parents who had lost contact with both
their child and their child's social workers after their child had
entered the care system. These were the 'lost' parents of the
study. Partnership with parents has become an integral part of
social work with children and families living together or apart.
Inevitably it concerns many other people involved in the care of
children and providing advice to individuals. Partnership permeates
all aspects of relationships between parents, children and those
providing care in place of parents. Consequently, the issues
discussed in this book are of relevance to all those working
directly or indirectly with children, parents and other relatives.
Amongst these are social workers, family placement workers, carers
and residential workers, team managers and policy makers in local
authority social services departments, guardians ad litem, court
welfare officers and lawyers acting for children or parents,
children's rights officers and advisers working in voluntary
agencies which support families and children.
We throw away years of life. We walk in mist. Then unexpectedly
something shifts, subtly, hardly at all, and everything is changed.
It was like that - When Maisie Shergold, art historian, meets
Michael Curran, folk musician, on the platform of Paddington
Station she falls in love with him instantly. Ignoring the
differences in their backgrounds, ages, and personal outlook, she
pursues the affair with a single-minded intensity that borders on
obsession. Abandoning the safe routines that had previously defined
her life, and against the advice of friends and family, Maisie
opens her home and her heart to this virtual stranger. But she
discovers that Michael is a man of secrets, with a past that
threatens to overtake them both. Against the international backdrop
of the art world and the pursuit of a rare, precious ikon, their
love affair resonates across countries and cultures, and ultimately
proves to be just as fragile and elusive as the ikon itself. Fig
and the Flute Player is a passionate, sensitive exploration of
infatuation, in both its tenderness and its darkness. Using prose
that is both lyrical and deceptively simple, Harrison paints a
realistic, poignant portrait of the overwhelming nature of romantic
love.

'Elusive, enigmatic and poetic' -Margaret Drabble about the story
'La Scala Inflammata"Full of mysterious and unnerving images'
-Deborah Moggach about the sameIn these stories, antique coats
retain the personality and power of previous owners; women
fantasise about murdering their ex-husbands over tea and cake;
mental breakdown sparks a quest mission that incorporates glimpses
of both Heaven and Hell. Animistic, lyrical, and poignant; these
narratives reverberate as much with the unseen and unsaid as with
their opposites.Including the award-winning 'La Scala Inflammata',
this collection brings together published and unpublished stories:
each a delicate tribute to the minutiae of life and love, and each
a profound meditation on the true, often unsettling, desires people
hide beneath the veneer of social convention.
This story is based mainly from true life experiences, Carol is
like most women who just wanted to fall in love, have a family and
live happily ever after. Real life unfortunately isn't like that,
this is Carol's story of life's journey and what she endured along
the way.
This book explores and builds on the extraordinary work of
Professor Paul Black across assessment and pedagogy across the
curriculum, including STEM, humanities and social science subjects.
This book explores the influence that Black has had within
educational settings, focusing on interpretations of the work and
scholarship he has achieved across a range of settings and on the
ways that scholars, who have worked with him or been influenced by
his ideas, have developed their research and teaching. The
contributions are presented under three thematic sections, each of
which reflects a set of shared educational concerns and values
drawing on the natural and social sciences as well as developments
in public policy. These concerns and values, with their emphasis on
teacher assessment, provide a basis for a strategic, informed and
coherent response to challenges in education, such as the
cancellation of public examinations in the face of the Covid-19
pandemic.
The Athletic Musician is an innovative approach that teaches
musicians how to prevent and manage injuries, presented in a unique
format that combines sound medical protocol with a musician's point
of view. Harrison, a musician, discusses the magnitude of the
problem of musicians' injuries with reference to statistical
surveys and discusses the emotional and psychological impact of
injury on the individual musician. Paull, an orthopedic
physiotherapist describes, in layman's terms, the athletic approach
to a musician's injuries. Each commonly injured area is examined in
turn, from neck, back and shoulder pain to arm, wrist and hand
problems. For each area, the anatomy is described, followed by an
explanation of what causes the injury and how to avoid or prevent
the injury from occurring. Musicians should regard themselves as
elite "musical athletes" and protect themselves from injury by
following athletic training protocols. The authors present
appropriate stretching regimes and postural corrections for both on
and off stage, as well as ergonomic changes to instrument and
playing positions. The text is amply illustrated with sketches for
every exercise and stretch, photographs of musicians demonstrating
playing postures, and unique anatomical drawings of musicians. The
Athletic Musician presents research-based, scientific material in a
format that is relevant, clear, and practical for all musicians.
The combination of a medical and musical perspectives makes it an
indispensable guide for all musicians and the health care
professionals who aspire to help them.
