Sheffield Psychological Service: A personal perspective

The Warnock committee set up in 1974 to consider how special educational needs should be identified, assessed and met within the education system published its report in 1978 (Department of Education and Science, 1978). This wide-ranging report made recommendations which had profound implications for both school psychological services and for the special education sector. The report stressed the need for early identification and assessment of special educational needs, and where possible that these needs should be met within a mainstream setting. The report suggested that 20 per cent of pupils would needs special provision at some time in their school career, and that the two per cent with the most need should have a statement of needs prepared by the LEA, and this statement should be reviewed regularly.The report had much to say about educational psychologists, recommending that there should be a ratio of one educational psychologist for every 5000 children and young people up to the age of 19. It recommended that initial training of EPs should give more attention to the under 5s, children with emotional and behavioural problems and those with complex disabilities. The report accepted that this may need a lengthening of initial training courses to two years, and in any case there was an urgent need for many more post-qualification courses. Existing EP training centres should develop a range of post-qualification courses of varying lengths, with an expectation that all practising EPs would regularly update their skills by attending such courses.The 1981 Education Act was informed by the Warnock report, and made a number of changes to the assessment process and to the formal responsibility of LEAs to maintain a statement of SEN for the two per cent with the most severe and complex needs. It also strengthened the role of parents in assessment and stated that parental views had to be considered when making provision. One outcome was an increase in the number of integrated resources set up in mainstream schools. Another statutory requirement was for psychological advice from an educational psychologist for all applications for a statement of educational needs. This included the EP having responsibility for coordinating advice from any other psychologists involved (e.g. private psychologists, clinical psychologists).All these changes were taking place in the context of severe cuts to the funding of local government, with many LEAs having great difficulty in finding the money to provide the support services needed to implement the changes recommended in the Warnock Report and those set out in the 1981 Education Act. For LEAs the first five years of the decade were spent trying to come to terms with these changes.By the late 1980s the whole education system was in turmoil with the passing of the Education Reform Act of 1988. The implementation of a national curriculum with its associated national assessment system and in particular the changes in funding meant that LEAs had to devolve a substantial proportion of money directly to schools, with serious consequences for maintaining central services such as youth officers, advisory services and school psychological services. The following personal account of working in the Sheffield Psychological Service during the 1980s needs to be read in the context of all the changes taking place within the education system throughout that time.Martin Desforges writes:

Side-by-side: An evaluation of Connecticut’s police and youth interaction model

ABSTRACTThis study evaluated a community-based intervention program designed to promote positive youth development and to create positive interactions between police and youth in a non-enforcement environment. A pre–post-design was used to compare the results of the program for participating youth and police officers, particularly changes in each group’s attitudes toward the other. The results showed that participation in the program improved police officers’ and youths’ attitudes toward each other. For youth, the rate of change in attitudes was greatest for minority youth and for youth who had prior negative experience with the police. That is, youth who had negative prior experiences with police and began with negative attitudes toward police developed more positive attitudes toward police as a result of participating in the program. Furthermore, having opportunities for positive interactions between police and youth played an important role in decreasing negative perceptions of police for ethnic minority youth. This study suggests that community-based programs that involve police with youth can improve participants’ attitude toward each other, which might impact future interactions.

Perceptions of key participants about Botswana adolescents' risks of unplanned pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and HIV: Qualitative findings.

The qualitative research findings are reported on the perceptions of key participants in Botswana about adolescent sexuality problems and the feasibility (with suggestions) of an adolescent prevention intervention. Twenty adult key participants who were selected through purposive sampling from schools and youth centers responded to open-ended questions during face-to-face individual in-depth interviews that were conducted between December, 2011 and January, 2012 in Gaborone, Botswana. The data were analyzed by using an inductive content analysis. Five major themes and 12 subthemes emerged from the interviews. The key participants discussed situations that exposed adolescents to HIV, sexually transmitted infections, and pregnancy. They also discussed unsafe sexual practices, the consequences of unprotected sex, poor parent-adolescent communication on sexuality, and the need for a sexuality education program. Policy changes are needed to improve collaboration between adolescents, parents, teachers, and youth officers in order to address adolescent sexuality problems. Further research is needed to explore the ways in which to improve sexuality communication between these groups. The results of the study provide valuable information on the sexuality risks that expose adolescents to HIV, pregnancy, and sexually transmitted infections and the strategies for the prevention of these risks, thus informing targeted interventions for risk reduction for adolescents.

BOTSWANA YOUTH AND HEALTH-RELATED RISKS: REFLECTIONS ON SOME INTERVENTION STRATEGIES

This paper explores the theme of health-related risks among the youth in Botswana. It examines a number of intervention strategies geared toward addressing the problems associated with these risks. The paper notes that Botswana has made considerable progress in the provision of social services, including services that aim to diminish health-related risks among the youth. The dimensions of these interventions have ranged from government policy initiatives to school-based programmes, deliberate development of youth action plans, the involvement of tertiary institutions, the activities of non-governmental organisations and the intervention of faith-based organisations. Despite these interventions, some challenges still exist. For some of the organisations, these challenges include a lack of capacity and shortage of funds. In tertiary institutions, the transitory nature of students’ residence, the under-utilisation of services and human resource constraints are problematic. Adolescents remain exposed to sexually-transmitted diseases, and too little attention is given to youth with disabilities. The paper suggests that there is a need to employ social workers in schools, create greater awareness in tertiary institutions, engage in further research and documentation on the subject, and ensure an aggressive pursuit of the training of youth officers.

Sent-down Youth and Rural Economic Development in Maoist China

AbstractThis article explores the relationship between the sent-down youth movement and economic development in rural China during the Cultural Revolution. It examines ways in which sent-down youth themselves initiated improvements in rural life, and more importantly, how local officials used both their presence to acquire equipment and technical training and their skills and education to promote rural industry. The sent-down youth offices established in the cities and the countryside inadvertently provided connections between remote rural counties and large urban centres that enabled the transfer of a significant quantity of material goods, ranging from electrical wires and broadcast cables to tractors and factory machinery. Ultimately, we show how individual sent-down youths, their families, and both urban and rural officials – none of whom had a role in determining government policies – identified and made use of resources that those policies unintentionally produced.
