Our approach to developing communities of practice to foster research capacities for the adult social care workforce.

Efforts to build and foster adult social care research in England have historically encountered more challenges to its growth and expansion compared with health research, with a sector facing significant barriers in facilitating research activity due to a lack of resourcing, poor valuation or understanding of the profile of social care research. The landscape for supporting research in adult social care has been rather bleak, but in recent years there has been recognition of the need to foster a research community. The National Institute for Health and Care Research in England have committed to investing in social care research capacity by funding six adult social care partnerships, with one based in Southeast England. Three large online networking events were held in the first year of the project to engage managers and practitioners from the local authority and from the wider adult social care sector. These took place in July and November 2021, with a last event in March 2022. Two COPs were identified, following an ordering and thematising process of feedback from the networking events, of: (a) Supporting people with complex needs throughout the lifespan, and (b) Enhancing, diversifying and sustaining the social care workforce. Whilst it would be premature to identify their long-term impacts, through the facilitation of 20 COP meetings held so far, alongside the engagement platforms and enrichment resources, these have provided a space for regular communication in the sector, knowledge sharing and networking between COP members. The COP framework offers a collaborative approach to initiating research from the grass-roots level in adult social care. This paper focuses on how the COP model offers great promise for knowledge-exchange providing a forum to generate and disseminate knowledge around social care in our two COP domains.

Understanding approaches to social partnerships - investigating target audience reactions and non-profit managers’ business practice: a mixed-methods study

ABSTRACT If social partnerships can lead to favourable outcomes for not-for-profit organisations (NPOs), what steps are managers taking to achieve such outcomes? We address this question by conducting a mixed-methods study in a professional sports social partnership context in Australia. First, a survey with 4,193 sport team fans – a key target audience for NPOs was conducted to understand the impact of contextual factors (i.e. NPO reputation and perceived fit) on the consumer behaviour process, including donation, volunteer, and advocacy intentions for NPOs involved in a social partnership. Following the confirmation of favourable NPO outcomes, interviews with 11 NPO managers were conducted to explore the business practice inputs of their social partnerships. Interviews showed social partnerships were characterised by a power imbalance in favour of the sports organisation leading to a lack of co-creation of value. Further, despite an expressed intention to formalise the partnerships, formality waned as the partnership moved through the different partnership stages. Results across the two studies demonstrate the need for a more deliberate and strategic approach to social partnerships. Theoretically, we build on the limited work addressing the NPO perspective of social partnerships by adopting a dual stakeholder perspective.

Social-Symbolic Work in the Construction of Social Problems: Constructing Gender Inequality in Turkish Social Partnerships

How social problems are constructed within social partnerships has significant effects on the management, impact, and survival of those partnerships. To explore how social problems are constructed, we adopt a social-symbolic work perspective, which highlights the variety of forms of work involved in this process, how they interact, and the impact of context on that process. Empirically, we focus on two social partnerships in Turkey that both addressed gender inequality but constructed that problem in very different terms. Our study suggests that the differences in how they came to construct the problem of gender inequality in Turkey was tied to the qualities of two forms of social-symbolic work—relational work and practice work—in which they engaged: the partnership that constructed gender inequality as an embedded problem engaged in extensive relational work and deep practice work; in contrast, the partnership that constructed the problem as disembedded engaged in efficient relational work and shallow practice work. Further, we observed that the construction of the problem of gender inequality was tied to different outcomes: an embedded social construction of the problem was associated with holistic outcomes on a more limited scale; a disembedded construction of the problem was associated with simpler outcomes on a greater scale. The paper contributes to the literature on social partnerships by showing how social problems are constructed through partners' work and how this affects their impact and sustainability. It also extends the literature on social-symbolic work by highlighting the interplay of different forms of work in constructing social problems. Finally, it contributes to research on gender inequality and organizations by showing how the work of social partnerships can shape conceptions of gender inequality at the meso level.

Inclusion in Quebec childcare centers: financial support, adaptation, and training

BackgroundInclusion in childcare centers involves a support system that includes funding policies, inclusive practices and access to ongoing training. The province of Quebec (Canada) benefits from a network of subsidized childcare services for children from birth to 5 years old. Although two financial measures support educational childcare centers welcoming children with disabilities, there is a lack of knowledge about how these measures are used.Research questionsThe research questions are: (1) How do childcare centers use financial measures to support inclusion? (2) What adaptations are made in childcare centers? and (3) What is the ongoing training of educators to support inclusion?MethodThis research presents the results of an online survey completed by 94 childcare management staff and 154 childcare educators. The survey was developed using a two-way process involving the researchers along with representatives from government ministries and agencies and childcare management staff.ResultsResults reveal that just over half of management staff request financial measures for all children with special needs and does so mainly to hire additional and specialized human resources and replace staff in meetings with specialized services. The financial measures are perceived to meet material adaptation needs better than those for human resources. Adaptations made by educators relate to instructions, individual interventions, equipment, group activities, physical environment, and schedule and routines. Over half the educators report that adaptations involving group activities and schedules and routines are the most difficult to implement. Less than half the managers and educators had received ongoing training on inclusive practices. Issues addressed during such training include commonly recognized interventions based on diagnoses, collaboration with parents, collaboration with partner agencies or institutions, instructions, individual interventions, group activities, equipment, physical environment, and schedules and routines.DiscussionResults are discussed in terms of (1) needs met and funding model, and (2) dimensions of quality inclusive practices such as leadership of childcare management staff, training and professional development, collaboration with health and specialized social services, learning environments and partnership with families.

Mentoring in the context of the implementation of the dual approach in personnel training

Introduction. The article presents the experience of training qualified workers and employees in the process of mutually beneficial partnership in the dual interaction of an educational organization and an employer in the context of the implementation of the «Specialty» project and the reduction of training periods, when the success of professional training depends on the effectiveness of the interaction of the teacher and mentor and when the role of the mentor is largely actualized. Purpose setting. The purpose of this study is to consider the possibilities of a dual approach at the level of the closest interaction – between the teacher of the educational organization (engineering teacher) and the heads of the practice in production (mentors) in joint training for the needs of the enterprise, which allows to combine the personnel and material resources of interested parties and, in general, contributes to improving the quality of education. Solving this problem contributes to: 1) systematic professional development of the tandem «teacher» and «mentor», exchange of professional and pedagogical experience; 2) development of psychological and pedagogical knowledge and skills of teachers; 3) activation of educational and cognitive activity of students; 4) formation of the need for self-development of students, teachers and mentors. Methodology and methods of the study. The leading approaches to the research are personality-oriented, activity-oriented, systematic, contributes to improving the effectiveness of the interaction of the «teachers – mentor» tandem in the joint training of in-demand personnel corresponding to modern realities and contributing to the successful implementation of the project «Specialty». Results. The significance of the research results lies in the fact that didactic conditions have been identified and a model of dual-creative interaction has been developed, taking into account the interests of all parties in the training process, where the key figure is the personality of the student. The results also allow us to determine the prospects for further studies of this problem, which consist in the creation of scientifically based technologies for designing the content of education in conditions of effective social partnership, identifying more effective forms, means and methods of mentoring. Conclusion. The presented methodology of training workers on the basis of effective dual-creative interaction can be useful for teachers of practical training, masters of vocational training, teachers of technology and successfully applied in short-term courses of adult education, professional development, training and retraining of qualified workers and employees.

Связь государства и права в концепции правопонимания Н.Е. Чижова

Law, as a phenomenon of civilization and culture, has been studied in science for more than one century. The greatest minds of mankind have tried to penetrate into the essence of law, to know the nature and define its concept. The scientific article is devoted to the analysis of the concept of law, set forth by the outstanding Russian jurist N.E. Chizhov (1853–1910). Scientific searches of N.E. Chizhov are associated with a legal understanding based on the norms of law, because they determine the external behavior of people in their life together. The scientist criticizes the theory of natural law, believing that the right is realized only in collective education with the interaction of people. This approach is consistent with the modern development of society, the values of which are: social partnership, economic, political and social solidarity, mutual trust of the state and society. The purpose of the study is to analyze the scientific works of N.E. Chizhov devoted to the concept of law and its relationship with the state. Emphasis is placed on understanding the nature of law through the nature of society and the state. The research methodology includes a wide range of scientific methods, in particular, universal (dialectical method), general scientific (analysis and synthesis), special (historical-legal, source-based method) and other methods of scientific cognition. The result of the conducted research was the conclusion about the demand for scientific knowledge of N.E. Chizhov in modern jurisprudence.

The science of urban regions: Public-science-community partnerships as a new mode of regional governance?

Abstract This article offers a discussion on the opportunity of collaborative, multi-actor (public, private, science, social, and civic actors) partnerships as experimental policymaking and governance solutions for climate mitigation and adaptation plans geographically localized at the urban, metropolitan, and regional level. It sets out considerations as regards the need to design newly conceived permanent or temporary institutional geographies by building on the analysis of examples of policies implementing this kind of partnerships in Italy (e.g., river contracts; river foundations; neighborhood agreements; pacts of collaboration; city science offices; urban sustainable development and innovation partnerships, etc.). Finally, the article draws attention to the challenges entailed by these partnerships including ethics, accountability, and climate justice concerns.

Features of the implementation of legal instructions providing collective-agreement regulation in the sphere of labor

The article deals with the concepts of social partnership and social dialogue, reflecting the forms of legal relations of subjects of collective legal regulation. There are tendencies of further combination of private and public legal regulation of individual, collective and state interests of subjects of labor law. The normative-legal acts of international law and national legislation regulating relations in the social and labor sphere are analyzed. The point of view about the need for the existence of collective labor relations and their interaction with individual labor relations is investigated. The collective agreement should take a fundamentally important place in local labor regulation.

Корпоративная культура университета: роль профсоюза

One of the important functions of personnel management at present is the management of corporate culture. The culturological approach in management allows you to combine all forces (resources) to achieve the goals of the organization, solving its tasks. This approach allows us to take into account the uniqueness of a particular company, to focus on the integration of all personnel in achieving the goals of the organization, the formation of loyalty, competencies, solidarity. Among the functions of the trade union noted in the documents of the organization, the organizational function, the organization of cultural mass, sports events, traditional professional holidays are presented. The role of management in the development of corporate culture is undeniable, at the same time, bipartisanship at the local level, as well as tripartism at other levels of social partnership presupposes the participation of employees (their trade union representatives) in the development of labor and other relations, in the improvement of corporate culture in the organization. The formation of values and norms, certain stereotypes of behavior occurs within the framework of the concept of social partnership in the organization. The role of the trade union as an organization uniting employees, as a participant in social partnership is in demand. This role is noted in the conducted research through the participation of the trade union in supporting traditions in the organization, participating in negotiations, discussing a Collective agreement, supporting staff in difficult situations (providing material, informational and legal assistance to trade union members and all employees of the organization) and other areas. The trade union participates in the management of corporate culture, which includes not only the management of the internal environment of the organization, but also the management of the image of the organization, its business reputation.

Promoting sustainable fisheries and aquaculture – Enabling policies, innovation and challenges for achieving sustainable blue economies in Ambon, Maluku Province, Indonesia

Sustainable blue economies have become a priority policy for coastal and island countries. It is also the case for Indonesia as it is an archipelago country endowed with a wide-spreading ocean. It must be sustained by key guiding policy principles such as environmental conservation, sustainable management of natural resources, and livelihood improvement. These policy objectives must be pursued in an integrated and coherent manner. Yet, Indonesia faces multiple governance challenges to achieve such goals. Multi-stakeholder and cross-sectoral collaborations are indispensable. Innovation is also needed for policy development, technological advancement, and social partnership. Capacity development is a policy imperative at the local, sub-national, and national levels. International partnership is also important to promote transboundary and sub-regional ecosystem-based and collective marine resource management in the context of achieving sustainable blue economies particularly, through sustainable fisheries and eliminating illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing. Multifaceted and interdisciplinary approaches need to be reinforced to overcome composite challenges.

Administrative Support for Medical Workforce in Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust -KMPT

Aims-A service development project was developed to establish the current capacity in administrative support for the medical workforce and to understand if there are gaps in support that can be addressed to reduce the time medics spend completing administrative tasks. -The project aims to make practical recommendations to enable medical staff to increase the clinical time spent with patients and, therefore, less time on administrative tasks. Previously published data also show that extensive administrative tasks impacting the clinician’' well-being can lead to burnout.Methods-Separate surveys were developed for Doctors and Administrators; each group completed the surveys separately. •Results were analysed and shared with the relevant stakeholders•Practical recommendations were made with a focus on cost-effectiveness and safety.•Engagement sessions with medical colleagues and the administrative workforce to reflect on various options and ideas to improve administrative support for the medical workforce.•A cost-effective approach was identified and recommended to the Trust Board for approval and implementationResultsDoctors surveyed identified that almost half of the medical workforce share administrator with the whole team, type their letters, felt they had sufficient administrative support and were prepared to use a voice recognition IT package. However, two-thirds needed more administrative help for their additional roles. •Administrators surveyed identified that almost two-thirds of the administrative workforce felt they should be providing full dedicated‘'Name’' support to Consultants, SAS and Junior Doctors. Over three-quarters felt they needed more time to complete all the tasks outlined in their job description (such as typing Docto’'s letters). In addition, almost three-quarters could not provide dedicated support to doctors.Most agreed that new roles similar to Medical Secretary role would release Doctor time from administrative tasks.Conclusion-The project has improved relationships and understanding of roles and work pressures from a clinical and administrative perspective. •The Trust has more transparent data and qualitative evidence gained through project meetings and surveys.•Staff felt engaged in the process, and positive feedback was provided throughout the project.•Understanding the problems experienced in practice and engaging peers was crucial to meeting the Trus’'s vision of being a clinically led organisation.•Care Group modelling undertaken with consideration of COVID-19 Lessons learnt around agile working included administration support, ensuring the appropriate numbers and skills relevant to service demand and ensuring Doctors have dedicated, full support rather than shared with teams.•Voice recognition programmes will also be explored through the Agile Working Group to free up Clinical time.•Communication to both Doctors and administrators to brief on findings and next steps distributed through various channels in the Trust.•The Medical Staffing Board formally thanked the author.

СОЦИАЛЬНОЕ ПАРТНЕРСТВО КАК МЕХАНИЗМ ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ НОВОГО ОБЩЕСТВЕННОГО ДОГОВОРА

The article is devoted to the assessment of the harmonizing potential of social partnership in the context of the potential use of its mechanisms to update the current version of the social contract between the government and the citizens of Russia. The need to address the stated problem is due to the urgent need to revise the dominant approach to the distribution of public resources in conditions of the threat of destabilization of the political situation in the country. According to the authors, the best way to prevent the settlement of inter-class conflicts in the conditions of long-term confrontation between Russia and the collective West is the use of neo-corporatist mechanisms for coordinating interests to bring the social contract in line with the current realities and challenges of the time. Its conceptual basis should be the predominance of socially conservative values over neoliberal ideologems. In this context, social partnership can be considered as a fundamental factor in ensuring national accord. The successful practice of regulating social and labor relations through the conclusion of tripartite agreements between trade unions, employers' associations and executive authorities can be taken as a basis for the conclusion and adjustment of a social contract throughout the country.

PECULIARITIES OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE IT SPHERE IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE ECONOMY OF UKRAINE

Abstract. The article identifies key problems that hold back the prospects for developing the potential of the IT sphere in Ukraine. The specifics of functioning and development of the IT sphere in Ukraine in the conditions of digital transformation of the economy are considered. The paper analyzes the main scientific approaches to defining the essence of the definition "digital economy". Positive and negative aspects of the influence of digital economy and digital tools on the development of the IT sphere, employment of the population, and the course of business processes of economic entities are systematized. A comparative analysis of the values of indices of network readiness of Ukraine with respect to developed countries of Europe and the world is given. The influence of indices of access to information and communication technologies and the use of ICT on the state of development of digital economy of a certain country is determined. The main trends of new technologies within the framework of the formation of Industry 4.0, including: blockchain technologies, artificial intelligence, creation of "digital doubles", use of drones, 3D printing technologies, VR/AR, cyber security tools, etc., have been established. The fact of rapid development of the IT sphere in Ukraine has been established. At the same time, in terms of international comparisons, Ukraine lags behind developed countries of the world in terms of indicators characterizing the trends in the development of digital economy. The dynamics of changes in the number of individual entrepreneurs in the field of IT has been studied. It has been established that the digitalization of theeconomy radically changes the sphere of work and employment, increasing the share of digital workplaces, volumes of remote and virtual employment, as well as changing the structure of employment in general. The directions for improving the development of domestic IT sphere during the acceleration of the processes of digitization of the economy and social life, including the improvement of legislative framework by regulating the activities of business entities in the IT sphere, the development of digital economy, innovative activities and the protection of rights to intellectual property objects, continuous professional development of human resources on mastering and using modern digital technologies, development of social partnership relations and digital culture of citizens, compliance with cyber security and information protection measures, are substantiated.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AS A BUSINESS STRATEGY TOOL FOR ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT

The article reveals the relevance of evaluating the effectiveness of socially responsible activities of corporations. The purpose of the article is to analyze current models and methods of assessing the effectiveness of corporate social responsibility in order to determine their advantages for practical use by companies. It was determined that the interpretation of the concept of corporate social responsibility depends on the content and purpose of the analysis of the business environment and business strategy, rules, principles and influence of interested parties. Models of corporate social responsibility (CSR) were analyzed, the features of which are determined by components: economic responsibility, legal responsibility, ethical responsibility, charitable activity (philanthropy). The advantages and disadvantages of the American CSR model are identified. The European model is analyzed, in which, depending on the features, the continental, British and Scandinavian models are distinguished. The features of the Japanese CSR model and its advantages are revealed. It is established that CSR is implemented through programs of internal, external and mixed types. Three approaches to assessing CSR are defined (minimalist approach, which is based on assessing the degree of compliance by the company with the rules and obligations provided for by law; approach, which is based on highlighting one or several key areas of corporate social activity; complex approach, which is based on a holistic view of CSR, which determines the measurement of a large number of social, environmental and economic indicators). The problem of assessing the effectiveness of CSR is defined, which boils down to the development of a unified procedure or methodology for determining the effectiveness of social investments. The areas of CSR assessment are outlined in accordance with ISO 26000 "Guidance on social responsibility". An analysis of the most common methods of assessing CSR effectiveness was carried out (Social Return on Investment (SROI), LBG method, Dow Jones sustainability index, BACO index, effective social investment and social partnership program, use of Robin Hood Foundation metrics, FTSE4 Good Index). The trends in the development of CSR, which companies should take into account in their activities, have been determined.

Theoretical and legal characteristics of social protection of participants of combat actions in Ukraine

The article deals with the development of legislation protecting combatants in Ukraine. Recent achievements in the legal regulation of the social protection of combatants in Ukraine have been analysed. Countering and deterring the armed invasion of Russia affected the safety of the participants in the conflict; it created the necessary conditions for a decent standard of living. Despite the duration of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine - more than nine years, there is an imperfect regulation of social benefits for participants in hostilities. During the study of the normative-legal mechanism regulating the social protection of combatants, several problematic points were revealed outside the normative-legal field, particularly regarding missing persons and prisoners of war and the absence of generally accepted protocols (protocols). It has been found that the development of military medical rehabilitation and related infrastructure is becoming increasingly crucial in Ukraine as the country's war-related disability is on the rise. Under these circumstances, it is necessary to increase the investments of the state and local self-government bodies in the development of modern rehabilitation institutions to attract the participation of other subjects, and this is an important direction. Some recent achievements in the legal regulation of the social protection of combatants in Ukraine were noted. The necessity of expanding the possibilities of providing additional social benefits to the participants of hostilities at the level of united territorial communities has been demonstrated. As part of the theoretical and legal analysis of the legal basis of social protection of combatants in Ukraine, normative legal acts are catalogued, and their legal force is classified (legislative, sub-legal). The latest achievements in the legal regulation of social protection of combatants in Ukraine are mentioned, in particular, the law of the status of volunteers, the possibility of receiving monetary compensation for the purchase of housing, as well as the adoption by the government of a state program aimed at the physical, medical, psychological and social readaptation of combatants. These actions will continue until 2022. Several difficult moments of a non-legal and regulatory nature are indicated, particularly regarding the missing and prisoners of war - participants in the conflict and the lack of generally accepted protocols for the psychological and social rehabilitation of the participants in the competition. The necessity of expanding the possibilities of providing additional social benefits to the conflict participants is shown. To improve the regulatory and legal mechanisms of state administration in the social protection of combatants, it is proposed to involve such organisations as public and veteran associations, unions, and other social partnerships in the development of legislative acts.

Practical training in educational organizations of Roszheldor in 2021-2022

The organization and conduct of the practice of students of Roszheldor in specialized organizations are considered. Documentary materials of the organization and conduct of the practice, annual reports submitted to the Federal Agency for Railway Transport were used. Some statistical data on the results of testing practice in specialized organizations are given.The main points of checking practical training are analyzed. Practical training in terms of practice is the most complex form of the educational process, both in organizational and methodological terms. The difficulty lies in the ability of the organizers of the practice to combine the interests of the specialized and educational organizations, to adapt the learning process to practical tasks. Verification of practical training in terms of practice is checked in two directions in educational organizations and at railway transport infrastructure facilities.There is an increase in the number of full-time students of secondary vocational education who have practiced at paid jobs.Currently, there is no information about the demand for personnel by enterprises in the coming years, which may affect the state of the vocational education system, and this, in turn, will have an impact on the development of social partnership between educational organizations and employers. Based on the cooperation of educational and specialized organizations, including the creation of training and production clusters, it is important to explore new opportunities for innovative trends, taking into account established traditions.
