Abstract

While many researchers have commented on the relationship between men and food, most empirical research has focused on men′s dietary beliefs and practices as perceived by women. Yet the consumption of food is a process instilled with cultural values and meanings that offers an insight into the workings of society, in particular household relations. In addition, research exploring the link between diet and health has emphasized the need to identify and work with the dietary beliefs of men in the design and implementation of health promotion programmes. Outlines the origins of a research project which seeks to identify and examine the dietary beliefs and practices of 30 men drawn from the service sector. The research will be conducted in both the workplace and the home of respondents, over the next two years.

Abstract

Content‐analyses the academic entries in the WHATT‐CD International Hospitality and Tourism Research Register using four broad categories ‐ general management issues hospitality, tourism, and current or “hot” research issues. Identifies clusters of research interest within these categories and identifies “gaps” in the form of relatively unexplored research topic areas.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to report on the findings of a qualitative study that explored the views and experiences of young people leaving care during the first phase of the Covid-19 pandemic in Northern Ireland.

Design/methodology/approach

A qualitative approach was adopted involving semi-structured interviews with 24 care leavers 18–25 years old from across the region. Interviews were conducted remotely online or by telephone and explored young people’s lived experiences during the pandemic including their views on the formal support services and how best to provide ongoing for support care leavers during the pandemic.

Findings

Study findings highlight how known adversities for care leavers are exacerbated during the pandemic, having a detrimental impact, particularly on their emotional well-being. The response of the state as a corporate parent in mitigating the impact of the pandemic was found to be inadequate; with a need for much clearer communication, transparent and prompt decision-making and targeted specialist mental health services. The account given by the young people also highlighted the importance of participation and relationship-based practice to build on the young people’s resilience in the context of high levels of social isolation and limited access to informal support systems.

Originality/value

This research, based on the views of care experienced young people themselves, is the first study in Northern Ireland to report on the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on care leaving. As such it makes a contribution to this emerging international field of study and, given the persistence of the pandemic, provides empirical findings and a social justice perspective of ongoing relevance to policy and practice with young people leaving care.
