Abstract
“Bob” Malthus, the Revd T. Robert Malthus (1766–1834), had only one son, Henry (“Hal”) who like his father became a clergyman and married, but died childless in 1882. Malthus's older brother “Syd,” Sydenham II (1754–1821), inherited the family property in Albury, Surrey on the death of their father Daniel in 1800, and transmitted it to three more generations of descendents: Sydenham III (1806–1868), Sydenham IV (1831–1916), and the last Robert (1881–1972) who married but died childless.

Abstract
Hannah King occupies a unique place in missionary and colonial history, the history of education, cross‐cultural relations and material culture in New Zealand. She was the only woman from the first 1814 Missionary settlement of the Church Missionary Society (CMS) in New Zealand to remain in New Zealand for the rest of her life, yet she does not have an entry in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography, and is rarely indexed in either New Zealand’s general historical works or even works more specifically related to the Missionary era. John and Hannah King were one of three artisan missionary couples who sailed with the Revd Samuel Marsden on his ship, the missionary brig ‘Active’, from Port Jackson, Australia to Rangihoua, in the Bay of Islands, in late 1814. Marsden’s 1814 Christmas Day service on the beach at Rangihoua is recognised as the beginning of missionary activity and planned European settlement on New Zealand soil.

Abstract
What is the role of the DES Further Education Curriculum Development Unit? Despite the leadership provided first by John Tomlinson — who has now gone to chair the Schools Council, and is one of the most imaginative and dynamic Chief Education Officers in the business — and latterly by the Revd. Dr. George Tolley — who has made such a success of the development of Sheffield Polytechnic — the Unit has yet to make any significant impact on the world of further education. This is doubtless in part because the Unit is understaffed and underfinanced; a budget of under £100,000 is peanuts when set against the mammoth task of reviewing what is taught in FE and how, or by comparison with the budgets of any of the institutions the Unit should be guiding.

Abstract
The title of this Conference Staff motivation and morale in a static situation is all wrong. We are not in a static situation. Even if numbers and resources remain static — which is unlikely; they could go up or down, and will almost certainly go up — we shall be in a rapidly‐changing situation. For change is, and ought to be, of the essence of education. Part of the trouble is that teachers in HE and FE are not prepared to change fast enough or radically enough. Part of the trouble also is that expectations built up on the back of years of rapid growth and improvement cannot be met, simply because all normal growth has to be exponential anyway.

Abstract
Chadderton, England — the home of British Aerospace PLC (BAe), the British company which plays an important role in the Airbus project as designer and builder of the wings for A300, A310, A320 and A340 aircraft. The wings are designed at BAe, Filton, prior to machining at Chadderton, following which assembly is undertaken at BAe in Chester. The company has a one‐fifth share in the Airbus business representing £1 billion turnover and with orders and deliveries for the aircraft approaching 900, the importance of Airbus to the plant is continuing to increase.

Abstract
There are just over half a million students in full‐time higher education in this country. The great majority of them go straight into higher education from school and for most of them, until they graduate at 21 or 22, gainful employment will be a matter of expediency, to provide income to eke out a student grant, rather than a serious experience of the initial stages of a career. These young people comprise about 16 per cent of the age group which has within it, speaking very generally and with no desire to sound exclusive, the most able people of their generation. About £1000 million of public money is currently committed, annually, to their education. That money is an investment in — what?

Abstract
1984 will be, presumably, post‐Bullock, post‐devolution, post‐North Sea oil euphoria; and by then the productivity, growth, and economic indicator curves will either be post‐catastrophic or will have shown some turn for the better. By 1984 EEC will be a reality, even for the conservative insular English. But, at the moment, questions abound. Will England's biggest trade rival in 1984 be Scotland? Will the return on North Sea oil, or the improved balance of payments position, have enabled British industry to have been retooled and rejigged? What, by then, will be the balance of the mixed economy? Will it be much as now; or shall we, by then, have moved so much nearer the East European bloc? Will overall productivity have improved to bring us somewhere near the levels of our industrial competitors? Will small and beautiful have won the day over big and ugly? Shall we have identified the most profitable and the most necessary developments requiring priority investment? What will be the technological eggs in our basket that we shall be most expectantly awaiting to hatch? There are plenty of questions.

Abstract
Purpose
Traditional understandings of financial abuse are limited to particular situations and people who have close access to vulnerable adults. This paper aims to add to a debate that intends to push the boundaries of the understanding of financial abuse further. In particular, it seeks to add to the understanding of what financial abuse might look like and who the perpetrators of such abuse can be. In so doing, it seeks to offer greater protection to the vulnerable.
Design/methodology/approach
Focusing on exploring the minutes of Church of England disciplinary tribunals, held to provide accountability for clergy, this paper considers how the church seeks to represent and construct the victims of financial abuse.
Findings
The paper identifies that the victims of financial abuse are whitewashed out of the tribunal minutes and discovers that the disciplinary tribunal is solely concerned with the financial loss afforded by the church. This discovery offers a new context in which it is possible to explore the competing interest in, what has been regarded as, the “legitimate assets” of older parishioners. It provides an example of how organisations and individuals compete for them.
Originality/value
This paper adds to the debate about the everyday nature of financial abuse and when and where it might take place. It provides an opportunity to reconsider potential offenders and the means by which abuse might be reduced. In exploring how the financial abuse of potentially vulnerable people can be reframed so that it is hidden by process and procedure, this paper offers an insight into the means by which it is possible to promote transparency and greater accountability.
