WELCOME Welcome to the British Sociological Association Annual Conference 2017 at the University of Manchester. The theme of the 2017 conference is ‘Recovering the Social: Personal Troubles and Public Issues’. It is a pleasure to announce that Ben Carrington, Zoe Williams and Lynn Jamieson will address the conference in three thought-provoking plenaries on this main theme. In addition to these plenaries, delegates have the opportunity to attend presentations on a wide range of topics. The conference is organised in streams designed to represent the major areas of research with which sociologists are engaged. These streams are open to any topic on which people are currently working, enabling delegates to meet with colleagues in their areas of interest and explore a variety of topics as well. Many of the streams also include a Stream Plenary, which brings key speakers together to reflect on the conference theme from particular sociological perspectives. There are also a number of open streams (Frontiers) providing a forum for new, innovative and multidisciplinary work. This year these streams include topics such as psychosocial studies, publishing workshops, disability studies and many more, further enriching the wealth of topics to be explored. This conference format results in a rich and challenging programme and it is hoped that every delegate will find the same this year. A conference of this magnitude and breadth depends on the efforts of many committed individuals. Great thanks are due to all those who have helped with the organisation of the conference, particularly the coordinators of the conference streams: Cities, Mobilities, Place and Space (CIT) Emma Jackson, Goldsmiths College Kirsteen Paton, University of Liverpool Culture, Media, Sport and Food (CUL) Gaynor Bagnall, University of Salford Garry Crawford, University of Salford Environment and Society (ENV) Catherine Butler, University of Exeter Families and Relationships (FAM) Kathryn Almack, University of Nottingham Jo Woodiwiss, University of Huddersfield Frontiers (FRO) John Bone, University of Aberdeen Lifecourse (LIF) Wendy Martin, Brunel University Julia Twigg, University of Kent Medicine, Health and Illness (MED) Ewen Speed, University of Essex Paul Whybrow, University of Bristol Methodological Innovations (MET) Emma Uprichard, University of Warwick Race, Ethnicity and Migration (REM) Ipek Demir, University of Leicester Aaron Winter, University of East London Rights, Violence and Crime (RIG) Victoria Canning, The Open University Michele Grigolo, Nottingham Trent University Hannah Miller, Kingston University Alice Nah, University of York Science, Technology and Digital Studies (STS) Huw Davies, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford Des Fitzgerald, Cardiff University Stevienna de Saille, University of Sheffield Social Divisions/Social Identities (DIV) Rachel Hale, Cardiff University / University of the West of England, Bristol Jamie Halsall, University of Huddersfield Sociology of Education (EDU) Nicola Ingram, Lancaster University Michael Ward, Swansea University Sociology of Religion (REL) Rachael Shillitoe, University of Worcester Theory (THE) Stephen Kemp, University of Edinburgh Work, Employment and Economic Life (WOR) Maria Adamson, Middlesex University Ben Fincham, University of Sussex Lynne Pettinger, University of Warwick We would also like to express our appreciation for the support of our sponsors and exhibitors.

    HOW DID WE GET HERE?: AN EXAMINATION OF THE COLLECTION OF CONTEMPORARY CARIBBEAN JUVENILE LITERATURE IN THE CHILDREN’S LIBRARY OF THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF TRINIDAD & TOBAGO AND TRINIDADIAN CHILDREN’S RESPONSES TO SELECTED TITLES BY SUJIN HUGGINS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Library and Information Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Christine Jenkins, Chair and Director of Research Professor Violet Harris Professor Linda Smith Assistant Lecturer Louis Regis, University of the West Indies, St. Augustine ABSTRACT This study investigates the West Indian Juvenile collection of Caribbean children's literature housed at the Port of Spain Children's Library of the National Library of Trinidad and Tobago to determine its characteristics and contents, and to elicit the responses of a group of children, aged 11 to 13, to selected works from the collection. A variety of qualitative data collection techniques were employed including document analysis, direct observation, interviews with staff, and focus group discussions with student participants. Through collection analysis, ethnographic content analysis and interview analysis, patterns in the literature and the responses received were extracted in an effort to construct and offer a 'holistic' view of the state of the literature and its influence, and suggest clear implications for its future development and use with children in and out of libraries throughout the region. ii For my grandmother Earline DuFour-Herbert (1917-2007), my eternal inspiration, and my daughter, Jasmine, my constant motivation. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To adequately thank all of the wonderful people who have made the successful completion of this dissertation possible would require another dissertation-length document.

THESIS JAMALODIN ADAM AHMED (Y1412.110008) Department of Political Science and International Relations Political Science and International Relations Program MAY 2016 I II III IV FOREWORD One of Africa’s main problem is political structure of the states, I was sure that my thesis would involve this problem and its solutions, but this idea changed on 23rd February 2015, when security officers took me for extra security checks at Jomo Kenyatta international airport. The officers said that it was because of al-Shabaab security threat, and I fit the profile of the al-Shabaab members a young Somali and a Muslim. The group’s activities has never affected me directly but for the first time I faced profiling in Kenya just because of my age, religion and tribe. After three minutes of frisking and questioning, I was allowed to proceed with my journey back to Turkey. The incident got me furious which drove me to do intense research on the al-Shabaab group which led me to making the decision to make it my thesis topic. As sensitive and complex the topic might be, the Islamic and Somali cultural background gave me the motivation needed to finish the thesis in the required time frame. The thesis’s aim was to prove al-Shabaab wrong in their claim that they are doing religious duty and in the process prove that Islam and other religions are against terrorism and I was glad that I did prove them wrong.

We do this by: • Driving improvement across health and adult social care. • Putting people first and championing their rights. • Acting swiftly to remedy bad practice. • Gathering and using knowledge and expertise, and working with others. Contents Foreword 2 Summary 3 Introduction 6 1. Who leads the work of NHS organisations on safeguarding children? How well are they supported? 9 2. How well trained in safeguarding are NHS staff? 14 3. What policies do NHS trusts have in place for safeguarding and child protection? What systems are in place to help staff protect children? 18 4. What do senior managers and trusts’ boards do to monitor safeguarding arrangements and assure themselves that these arrangements are working? 23 5. How effective is the collaboration between organisations? 26 6. What do NHS trusts do when they review individual cases? 29 7. What have trusts told us about compliance with national standards for safeguarding? 32 8.

  • Review of the Involvement and Action Taken by Health Bodies in Relation to the Case of Baby P
    Review of the involvement and action taken by health bodies in relation to the case of Baby P May 2009 This report details the findings of an intervention that was carried out by the Healthcare Commission, at the request of the Secretary of State for Health in December 2008. The work was carried out between January and March 2009. The Healthcare Commission was unable to publish this report upon its completion due to a court case that was taking place at that time. On 1 April 2009, the regulatory activities of the Healthcare Commission were taken over by the Care Quality Commission. Therefore the Care Quality Commission is now publishing this report. The Care Quality Commission is the new independent regulator of health, mental health and adult social care. Before 1 April 2009, this work was carried out separately by the Healthcare Commission, the Mental Health Act Commission and the Commission for Social Care Inspection.
