Abstract

This article describes a shared ownership scheme developed by Advance Housing and Support so that people who have experienced mental health difficulties could have the choice to own their own home. Jennifer Barrett, Hilary Caldicott and Trevor Sasar De Sain have all been involved in Own Home ‐ one as the project manager and the other two as shared owners with the scheme ‐ and here describe what it was like from the inside, what worked and what didn't, and the impact of housing on people's experience of social exclusion and the accompanying loss of hope

Abstract

Housing options for people with severe mental health problems are limited, and often restricted to types of property and areas which most of us would not choose to live in. Accommodation of good quality, in a welcoming and secure neighbourhood, can have a very positive effect on mental health service users' sense of well‐being. This article describes an innovation aimed at increasing housing choice for this particularly disadvantaged group, namely the shared ownership programme run by Advance Housing and Support Limited, a registered social landlord working across Central and Southern England with people with either a mental health problem or a learning disability.

Abstract

The registration and inspection of residential care services for vulnerable adults rests with local government but in 2002 responsibility passes to the new Commission for Care Standards. This paper looks at how inspection units understand and respond to adult protection issues, considers how they contribute to multi‐agency adult protection and speculates on how the planned changes will impact on policy and practice.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to explore the issues, the role of research data management (RDM) as a mechanism for implementing open research data and the role and opportunities for records managers. The open data agenda is premised on making as much data as possible open and available. However, in the context of open research data there are methodological, ethical and practical issues with this premise.

Design/methodology/approach

Two collaborative research projects focusing on qualitative health data were conducted. “DATUM for Health” designed and delivered a tailored RDM skills training programme for postgraduate research students in health studies. “DATUM in Action” was an action research project between researchers from information sciences, health, mathematics and computing, looking at planning and implementing RDM.

Findings

Three key issues emerged about what research data is appropriate to make open/accessible for sharing and reuse: re-using qualitative data conflicts with some of the epistemological and methodological principles of qualitative research; there are ethical concerns about making data obtained from human participants open, which are not completely addressed by consent and anonymisation; many research projects are small scale and the costs of preparing and curating data for open access can outweigh its value. In exploring these issues, the authors advocate the need for effective appraisal skills and researcher-focused RDM with records managers playing a useful role.

Research limitations/implications

The findings come from two small-scale qualitative projects in health studies. Further exploration of these issues is required.

Practical implications

Records managers have new crucial opportunities in the open data and RDM contexts, bringing their expertise and experience in managing a wider range of data and information. They can help realise the benefits of multiple perspectives (researcher, data manager, records manager and archivist) on open research data.

Social implications

Researcher-focused RDM offers a mechanism for implementing open research data.

Originality/value

It raises complex issues around open research data not found in the records management literature, highlights the need for researcher-focussed RDM and research data appraisal skills and a not yet fully recognised role for records managers.

Abstract

Launched in the spring, No Secrets, the government's latest adult protection guidance is expected to have a major impact on all agencies involved and interested in adult abuse. Here, using a novel approach, Claudine McCreadie, one of the country's leading elder abuse researchers, looks at what No Secrets will involve for those charged with its implementation in local areas, while providing a range of useful insights and hints.
