Reducing Urban Violence in the Global South Towards Safe and Inclusive Cities

Reducing Urban Violence in the Global South Towards Safe and Inclusive Cities

Reducing Urban Violence in the Global South seeks to identify the drivers of urban violence in the cities of the Global South and how they relate to and interact with poverty and inequalities. Drawing on the findings of an ambitious 5-year 15-project research programme supported by Canada’s International Development Research Centre and the UK’s Department for International Development the book explores what works and what doesn't to prevent and reduce violence in urban centres. Cities in developing countries are often seen as key drivers of economic growth but they are often also the sites of extreme violence poverty and inequality. The research in this book was developed and conducted by researchers from the Global South who work and live in the countries studied; it challenges many of the assumptions from the Global North about how poverty violence and inequalities interact in urban spaces. In so doing the book demonstrates that accepted understandings of the causes of and solutions to urban violence developed in the Global North should not be imported into the Global South without careful consideration of local dynamics and contexts. Reducing Urban Violence in the Global South concludes by considering the broader implications for policy and practice offering recommendations for improving interventions to make cities safer and more inclusive. The fresh perspectives and insights offered by this book will be useful to scholars and students of development and urban violence as well as to practitioners and policymakers working on urban violence reduction programmes. | Reducing Urban Violence in the Global South Towards Safe and Inclusive Cities

Cultural Safety Healthcare and Vulnerable Populations A Critical Theoretical Perspective

Cultural Safety Healthcare and Vulnerable Populations A Critical Theoretical Perspective

Culturally safe healthcare is rapidly challenging previous notions of cultural competency or cultural sensitivity in healthcare provision. The increasing number of vulnerable populations means healthcare must be given by a healthcare provider who has developed a social consciousness in relation to his or her own socio-cultural positioning versus that of the patient. A culturally safe practitioner has engaged in an active examination of the power differences existing in this patient-provider relationship. In this book Lucy Mkandawire-Valhmu critically analyzes the complex issues affecting the health of vulnerable populations. Written from a critical theoretical perspective she seeks to enhance the ability of the healthcare student to develop a social consciousness about the realities faced by many populations living on the margins of society and thereafter make an active and conscious decision to engage in culturally safe healthcare and contribute to the elimination of health disparities. Through the application of postcolonial feminist theory this book conceptualizes health as being historically situated in social relations of power and emphasizes health interventions that are potentially empowering and enhance emancipatory change. Through discussions of health provision for ethnic minorities immigrant populations and refugees the book seeks to provide pragmatic guidance for culturally safe care for a variety of marginalized populations and invites students and professionals to think deeply about the implications of power culture and health. | Cultural Safety Healthcare and Vulnerable Populations A Critical Theoretical Perspective

Fire Safety Law provides building-owners managers individual leaseholders mortgage-lenders landlords and anyone involved in the purchase or sale of a flat situated within a multi-occupied block with practical yet comprehensive and well-researched information regarding the subject of fire safety and the associated responsibilities obligations and rights. V. Charles Ward addresses in practical legal terms the responsibilities on building-owners to ensure that buildings are fire-safe for people who are living working or visiting those buildings and explains what protections are available to leaseholders faced with the costs of making their buildings fire-safe. The book begins with a summary of the lessons which have come from the Grenfell Inquiry before providing a practical overview of current fire-safety legislation relating to residential and commercial buildings. This legislative overview will include not only the 2005 Fire Safety Order as updated by the 2021 Fire Safety Act and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 but will also include associated and emerging legislation and official guidance in relation to fire safety including gas and electrical safety regulation as well as the Building Safety Act 2022.

Having assessed the legal situation as regards existing high-rise leaseholders the book then addresses the additional ‘due diligence’ required by prospective purchasers of individual high-rise flats as well as estate agents mortgage lenders landlords and conveyancing lawyers to ensure that what they will be buying or lending money on is ‘fire-safe’ and that any associated costs are fully accounted for. | Fire Safety Law A Practical Guide for Leaseholders Building-Owners and Conveyancers

The Silent Selkie A Storybook to Support Children and Young People Who Have Experienced Trauma

The Silent Selkie describes a character who is unable to communicate in words and whose only way of communicating is through the weather which leads to disastrous consequences not only for the Selkie but also for everyone around her. But behind her golden scales the Selkie hides a secret wound that even she is unaware of and it is only when the Selkie’s skin becomes uncovered by the force of the sea that she remembers the terrible story of what caused her hurt long ago. Only then can the Selkie come to terms with her wound and begin a journey of healing that will bring her face-to-face with what she has needed all along. Beautifully illustrated and sensitively written The Silent Selkie deals with the effects of trauma on a young person – including hypersensitivity and emotional reactivity.

Uses creative metaphors and symbols to offer children a supportive way to communicate whilst maintaining a safe distance from the source of their emotional pain.

The Silent Selkie encourages young people who may have adverse childhood experiences or trauma to develop greater understanding of how this can affect them and is ideal reading for those working with vulnerable children and young people seeking to use the expressive arts to develop greater emotional literacy in children with a background of trauma.
