Knowledge exchange and culture change
• Traditional research
• Knowledge transfer
• Knowledge exchange (knowledge is co-
constructed)
• Knowledge mobilisation (cf traditional
ways of training)

Background
• Engaging with Scottish Local Authorities (ESLA)
• Aims:
• 1) to explore the complexities of involving
involuntary clients as partners in the social work
process, and to identify pointers as to how this
might best be done and
• 2) to report on findings about effective
knowledge exchange
• What we did

Findings
• Relationships were central to both good
social work practice and to knowledge
exchange
• Key elements within this included the
establishment of trust, a sense of
credibility and a sense of timeliness and
meaningfulness to participants.
• Timing – starts to resonate with Munro,

CCFSW
• ESRC Knowledge Exchange Opportunities
Scheme
• Edinburgh and East Lothian
• to 'review and redesign the ways in which child
and family social work is delivered, drawing on
evidence of effectiveness of helping methods
where appropriate and supporting practice that
can implement evidence based ways of working
with children and families' (2011, p.13).

Paramount Pictures would be a suitable distributor for the film "Recollection" for several reasons: 1) Paramount has a history of distributing successful films similar in style to "Recollection" like "Shutter Island". 2) Paramount takes risks on films that could be big successes or failures, so they may take a chance on "Recollection". 3) Paramount has a strong track record of producing good films, so distributing "Recollection" could be worthwhile for them.

1. Researchers isolated and characterized a novel peptide from the venom of the Brazilian stingray Potamotrygon gr. orbignyi. 2. Using RP-HPLC and mass spectrometry techniques, they purified a peptide from the venom which was shown to strongly constrict blood vessels when applied to mice cremaster muscle tissue during intravital microscopy experiments. 3. Through de novo amino acid sequencing with mass spectrometry, the researchers determined the peptide's sequence to be HGGYKPTDK, which does not match any known bioactive peptides but aligns with residues 97-105 of creatine kinase, suggesting it may be produced from limited proteolysis of creatine kinase.

This document summarizes a study that aimed to determine if transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) of the primary motor cortex could modulate taste thresholds for phenylthiocarbamide (PTC), a bitter compound. The study hypothesized that 20Hz tACS would influence brain oscillations to modulate sensory thresholds by affecting pathways between the motor cortex and thalamus involved in taste processing. The document outlines the methodology used, including PTC taste threshold testing, tACS parameters and electrode placement, quantification of fungiform papillae density, and genotyping of taste receptor genes. Results are briefly mentioned but not described in detail.

Confiding in Friends: A systematic review of the literature

BASPCAN

This document summarizes a systematic review of literature on confiding in friends. It finds that while friendships can provide benefits like improved well-being, they also carry risks. Disclosing child sexual abuse is difficult and children often disclose first to peers as they get older. Peer relationships may be particularly important for vulnerable youth. Though friends can support disclosure, an inadequate response from others may still lead to mental health issues. The review concludes more research is needed on helping peer relationships and providing social support for vulnerable children.

Improving information skills in the workplace: an overview of research findings

cirving

This document summarizes research on information skills and literacy in the workplace. It finds that while the term "information literacy" is not widely used in workplace settings, the skills it encompasses around finding, evaluating, and using information are important. However, formal training on these skills is rarely provided in the workplace. The document also outlines several studies conducted by the authors, which found that information sharing and learning in the workplace is often informal and social. Conclusions from the research emphasize the importance of interpersonal relationships in developing information skills on the job.

Schools conference session - Context and Change, Your Perspectives

ArchDesSco

The document summarizes discussions from Scotland's School Estate Conference on the key challenges to delivering change in the school estate and examples of good practice. Three main points emerged from discussions: 1) collaborative briefing processes that engage stakeholders early on can help deliver change but require time and varied engagement techniques; 2) learning beyond the school gate, such as through community centers, offers exciting opportunities but barriers to concurrent community and school use need addressed; and 3) small-scale school refurbishments allow intense discussions to develop consensus, but the challenge is scaling this approach to larger, more complex projects.

Opening Educational Practices in Scotland - OER16

OEPScotland

The Opening Educational Practices in Scotland project is a three-year initiative led by the Open University in Scotland to promote open educational practices. It includes analyzing current practices, hosting events, developing an online hub for sharing resources and best practices, creating open educational resources, and researching barriers and economic models related to open education. The project aims to extend thinking about open practices to include learning design, co-creation, social and peer-supported learning, and networks.

OEPScotland

This document discusses Parkinson's UK's partnership with OEPS (Open Educational Practices in Scotland) to provide free open online education. It describes how Parkinson's UK engaged with digital education to meet organizational values and better serve learners. The partnership took a design-focused approach to understand learners' needs and ensure openness promoted equity and social justice. While open online education can increase access, it also brings challenges like tensions between organizational identity and partnership work. Values-based organizations must apply models and understand assumptions to ensure open practices align with their approach.

Ronald Macintyre

This paper explores a partnership between a Scottish Government programme to raise awareness and develop capacity in the creation and use of free open online education materials (OER), Open Educational Practices Scotland (OEPS), and Parkinson’s UK a Third Sector organisation which works to improve the lives of people with Parkinson’s. The partnership has designed and produced a series of badged open online courses aimed at Health and Social Care (HSC) staff. The paper focuses on one created for front line staff, sharing what we learnt about what design based approaches can contribute as explorers of “Public Value” (e.g. Moore 1995). Those accessing OER tend to be the educational haves, in addressing this OEPS has applied “what works” in Widening Participation (WP), seeking partnership with organisations who are “trusted sources of support” with “shared values” to explore the OER role in creating learning journeys for those distanced from education (Macintyre and Cannell 2017). Parkinson’s UK have online and face to face programmes. However, as demand outstripped capacity, they wanted to use OER as a way to explore whether and how people would engage with open online learning. We suggest the creation of OER to outside formal curriculum suggests an absence, structural holes which are being filled by a values led organisation. Influenced by work on participatory design, and design thinking approaches which focus on value (Dorst 2011) the partners treated these questions as a complex adaptive problem. Through workshops we looked at the value we wanted to create for the learners, for the people the learners cared for, and how this created values of each partner. In the paper we look at what this meant on a practical level, exploring the role of design based approaches in shaping our exploration of Public Value. In particular, we reflect on the use of a Public Value models as heuristics devices to frame messy real world problems. Suggesting this would provide a useful avenue for future research References Cannell P. Macintyre R.

Evaluating without numbers: exploration of a story based evaluation method

LearningandTeaching

Evaluation is a key part of the improvement cycle and the reporting requirements of any course or program. It answers the questions: how did we do, and how might we make it better? Quantitative evaluation methods can be relatively straightforward, meeting the need for numbers to share a broad view of what’s happening. But sometimes numbers alone struggle to tell the whole story of the impact and the experiences of individuals and groups.

Lyndsey Middleton

Lyndsey Middleton is a PhD student at Edinburgh Napier University. Her research aims to create a framework explaining the development of innovative work behavior through workplace learning and the factors that influence this relationship. So far, her findings show that innovative work behavior can be conceptualized as a process of workplace learning and that mistakes in learning can lead to employee-led innovation. Her research also explores how organizational contexts and employee characteristics can influence innovative work behavior development related to workplace learning. Her next steps include quantitative data analysis to explore national innovation factors across Europe and case studies of organizations to investigate differences in innovative work behavior development.

BASPCAN

This document summarizes the partnership between the NSPCC and two universities to develop and evaluate an intervention for child sexual abuse called Letting the Future In (LTFI). It describes how NSPCC studies found a gap between need for therapeutic services for child sexual abuse victims and what was available. Practitioners then created LTFI which was piloted and implemented. An independent evaluation was commissioned including a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to rigorously evaluate LTFI's effectiveness. Overcoming challenges, the RCT recruited 242 children and was the largest of its kind. It aimed to provide high-quality evidence on LTFI's impact to inform practice and policy.

Young People's Perspectives on Recognising and Telling about Abuse and Neglect

BASPCAN

This document summarizes a study on young people's perspectives on recognizing and disclosing abuse and neglect. The study included a literature review, analysis of an online peer support site, and interviews with 30 vulnerable young people aged 11-20. It developed a framework for understanding how young people recognize, tell about, and get help for abuse, which influences practitioners. The framework shows recognition, telling, and help can be partial, hidden, signs-based, or purposeful. It also examines how related interventions can help symptoms or underlying causes, and influence trust, effectiveness, and duration of support over time. The implications are that practitioners should not rely on verbal disclosure, be sensitive to the challenges of telling, and see that recognition may come

WE MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT: CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE DISCLOSURE ACROSS THE DE...

BASPCAN

This document summarizes a study comparing narratives of child sexual abuse disclosure between young people and adults. It found that young people were more likely to disclose due to a "pressure cooker effect" of emotions building up over time or being directly asked about signs of distress. In contrast, adults were more likely to blame themselves for the abuse and believed telling would make the situation worse. The study highlights the importance of creating an environment where children feel believed and supported to disclose abuse.

No One Noticed, No One Heard

BASPCAN

The document summarizes a study that examined informal and formal support structures for young people who experienced child abuse. 53 young women and 7 young men between ages 18-24 who reported extensive victimization were interviewed. On average, it took 7.8 years to disclose experiences of child sexual abuse. Most initial disclosures were to informal sources like family and friends. Barriers to disclosure included lack of knowledge that the abuse was wrong and lack of trusted adults. Missed opportunities for intervention were identified at the individual, family, community, and system levels. Key recommendations included providing youth appropriate information about relationships early on, communicating with youth directly and sensitively, and ensuring professionals notice signs of struggle and ask youth directly about their experiences.

The Parents Under Pressure (PuP) Program

BASPCAN

The Parents Under Pressure (PuP) Program is a 12-module home-based parenting program that aims to reduce child abuse potential, parental stress, and child behavior problems. The modules can be addressed in any order based on family priorities and are supplemented by liaison with other social services. Studies have found the PuP program reduces child abuse potential, parental stress and improves child behavior, and for every 100 families treated there would be an estimated savings of AU$3.1 million.

Young advisors from over 100 teenagers aged 13-21 across several European countries were engaged to advise on a project about increasing safety regarding new technologies and intimate partner violence. The advisors provided input on developing the project website and materials. Challenges included low online discussion participation and high turnover of advisors. Strategies to address this included providing incentives, flexible timing of meetings, and discussing issues in new ways like drawing. Key issues were lack of advisor ownership of the online space and lack of direct cross-country discussions. Recommendations included giving advisors control of social media and enabling international meetings.

This document summarizes key findings from a study on young people's experiences with interpersonal violence and abuse both online and offline. The study included 100 interviews with young people ages 15-18 in several European countries. Key findings included: 1. Experiences of controlling behavior and surveillance both online and offline were normalized by some youth. This included pressure to share passwords and social media accounts. 2. Sending and receiving unwanted sexual images online was also normalized in some areas, though it caused distress for others, especially in tight-knit communities. 3. Both sexual pressure and physical/emotional violence occurred offline as well, with young women disproportionately impacted. 4. New technologies played a role

Babies on Top of the World: Early Intervention in the Indian Himalayas Part 2

BASPCAN

In Dehradun district of Uttarakhand, India, with a population of 1.7 million people, only around 1800 have access to reliable quality professional services. Most pediatricians in the area have little awareness of the importance of early intervention for children. Developmental disabilities can be present from birth or acquired later in life due to factors like malnutrition, anemia, neglect, or lack of stimulation, and many acquired disabilities can be prevented by proper care and support during early childhood years.

Babies on Top of the World: Early Intervention in the Indian Himalayas

BASPCAN

Babies On Top of the World documents early intervention programs for children with disabilities in remote areas of the Indian Himalayas run by the Latika Roy Foundation. The foundation operates 8 centers that serve over 300 children daily and monitors 500 high-risk infants annually, providing developmental assessments, therapy, and training parents and community health workers, though this still only reaches a small fraction of the estimated 66 million developmentally disabled children in India.

An Inclusive and Families Strengths Based Approach in Child Protection

BASPCAN

This document discusses East Lothian Council's adoption of a strengths-based, inclusive approach to child protection called Signs of Safety. It notes key reports and legislation driving this change and outlines East Lothian's multi-year implementation process beginning in 2011 with workshops and establishing governance groups. This included introducing Signs of Safety for initial case conferences in 2013 and all conferences, supervision, and core groups by 2014. Feedback found professionals and families felt meetings were inclusive and addressed risks fully, though plans were sometimes incomplete. This led to a research project on making plans more specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-based.
