Pretended: Historical, Cultural and Personal Perspectives
by Catherine LeePretended is a vivid historical, political and cultural account of schools and teaching under Section 28, a law that banned schools in the UK from promoting homosexuality as a 'pretended family relationship'.Catherine Lee was a teacher in schools for each of the 15 years that Section 28 was law (between 1988 and 2003). In Pretended, she considers the landscape for lesbian and gay teachers leading up to, during and after Section 28. Drawing on her diary entries from the Section 28 era, Lee poignantly recalls the challenges and incidents affecting her and thousands of other teachers during this period of state-sanctioned homophobia. She reveals how these diaries led to her involvement in the 2022 feature film Blue Jean, and describes how this unexpected opportunity helped her to make peace with Section 28.Pretended will resonate with every lesbian and gay teacher who experienced Section 28 and will shock those who previously knew nothing about this law. Crucially, Pretended will explain to those who were lesbian and gay students during Section 28 why they never saw people like them in the curriculum, never had a role model and never had an adult in school to talk to about their identity.

Prevenire gli eventi avversi nella pratica clinica
by Riccardo Tartaglia Andrea VannucciLa questione della sicurezza dei pazienti e del rischio clinico rappresenta da sempre un problema in medicina, ma è a partire dagli ultimi anni che essa è diventata un ambito prioritario della qualità nei servizi sanitari. La medicina non è una scienza esatta e le cure mediche non sono sempre efficaci e affidabili. La materia è inoltre così vasta e complessa da rendere impossibile agli operatori una conoscenza completa di ogni aspetto; a ciò si aggiunge il fatto che i pazienti non sempre si attengono correttamente alle indicazioni di terapia. La valutazione del rischio e l'analisi degli eventi avversi possono quindi contribuire ad accrescere i livelli di sicurezza degli assistiti, a ridurre l'inappropriatezza delle procedure e a impiegare meglio le risorse umane e tecnologiche. Questo volume, dopo una prima valutazione dello stato dell’arte della sicurezza del paziente in Italia e all’estero, presenta i metodi più diffusi per l’analisi degli eventi avversi nelle diverse specialità (medicina d’urgenza, ostetricia e ginecologia, oncologia, salute mentale, ecc.) e nei servizi di supporto (laboratori analisi, radiologia, trasfusioni, farmaceutica). Sono inoltre esaminati gli incidenti più frequenti in strutture extraospedaliere (come ambulatori di medicina generale, servizi sanitari delle carceri). Quest’opera, caratterizzata da una particolare vastità di argomenti trattati, descrive come contenere il rischio e prevenire gli eventi avversi in sanità, analizzando la natura dell’errore umano e applicando le pratiche di sicurezza più efficaci.
The Prevent Duty in Education: Impact, Enactment and Implications
by Joel Busher Lee JeromeThis open access book explores the enactment, impact and implications of the Prevent Duty across a range of educational contexts. In July 2015 the UK became the first country to place a specific legal requirement on those working in education to contribute to efforts to ‘prevent people from being drawn into terrorism’. Drawing on extensive research with staff, children and young people, the editors and contributors provide new insight into how this high-profile – and highly contentious – policy has shaped educational practice in Britain today. It will be a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers and others interested in the design, implementation and on-the-ground effects of Prevent or similar programmes internationally that place education at the heart of efforts to prevent or counter violent extremism.
Prevent, Repent, Reform, Revenge: A Study in Adolescent Moral Development (International Contributions in Psychology)
by Ann Diver-Stamnes R. Murray ThomasPrevent, Repent, Reform, Revenge is a study of the aims that people intend to achieve by the sanctions and treatments they recommend for wrongdoers. The book is designed to answer two main questions: What kind of analytical scheme can profitably reveal the nature of people's reasoning about the aims of sanctions they propose for perpetrators of crimes and misdeeds? In the aims that people express what changes in overt moral reasoning patterns appear between later childhood and the early adult years? The authors conducted interviews with 136 youths between the ages of 9 and 21 to find out what sanctions and aims they felt were appropriate in three cases of wrongdoing. The resulting information provides an important insight into adolescent moral development.

Preventing Crises at Your University: The Playbook for Protecting Your Institution's Reputation (Higher Ed Leadership Essentials)
by Simon R. BarkerA new playbook for effective crisis management in higher education.Unlike other industries, in higher education an institution's most important asset is its reputation. Yet as fundamental as it is, many leaders continue to view managing reputation as dishonest and counterproductive, a suspect process that undermines the very idea of reputation as an organic outcome of reality. When leadership credibility is on the line, though, and an institution's reputation is facing potentially irreparable damage, the concept of reputational risk moves from being nebulous to all too tangible. In Preventing Crises at Your University, Simon Barker demonstrates how critical it is for colleges and universities to align strategy and values with decision-making during times of crisis. Arguing that leaders must stop considering the discussion of reputational risk as unseemly, he demonstrates that this discussion is in fact a strategic imperative for every leader. Significant reputational damage, Barker asserts, is not the inevitable outcome of a crisis but of a poor response. Defining a new crisis leadership playbook to deal with self-inflicted crises, he also• explains what typically goes wrong in a crisis;• describes how to prevent crises from escalating;• demonstrates how a stakeholder-centric model of communications can help mitigate reputational damage; and• introduces a number of original concepts, including a Reputational Risk Management Framework, a Reputational Risk Maturity Model, and a Culture and Capability matrix.Moving beyond the theoretical by presenting case studies of real crises involving sexual assault, freedom of speech, student protests, faculty misconduct, and a broad range of financial, social, and ethical issues, the book highlights and underscore key concepts around effective management of reputational risk. Ultimately, Preventing Crises at Your University serves as a wake-up call for all higher education leaders and board members.

Preventing Fatal Incidents in School and Youth Group Camps and Excursions: Understanding the Unthinkable (International Explorations in Outdoor and Environmental Education)
by Andrew BrookesThis book approaches the prevention of fatal incidents in outdoor education and related fields through detailed study of past tragedies. Although safety in many fields is built on accumulated lessons from past incidents, tragedies on school or youth group camps and excursions are so infrequent and so widely scattered that knowledge from previous incidents can elude those who would benefit. Nevertheless, the emergence of unlearned lessons from the past weighs heavily when those affected by a tragedy judge whether an incident should have been prevented. This book provides a foundation for a detailed and comprehensive understanding of fatality prevention in outdoor education, and in youth camps and excursions. It compiles, examines, and analyses information on fatal incidents that have occurred over many decades, involving many kinds of groups and endeavours, from around the globe. No previous work has attempted this task.
Preventing Lethal School Violence (Advancing Responsible Adolescent Development)
by Jeffrey A. Daniels Mary C. BradleyBullying. Gang assaults. Rampage shootings. School violence, especially when it turns deadly, has enduring social and psychological effects on students, faculty, staff, and the community. And though a great deal of research focuses on the significant role children’s positive social development plays in reducing incidents of school violence, in-depth examinations of evidence-based preventive measures have remained minimal until now.With its focus on averting lethal school violence, this unique volume translates the prosocial findings into practicable preventive measures that can be put to use in school settings. Making expert use of news reports as well as scholarly data, Preventing Lethal School Violence clarifies the links between bullying and lethal violence and delineates typical characteristics of school shooters while cautioning against outright profiling. Students’ awareness of self and others, strong connections with adults, and other social and ethical skills form the basis of a comprehensive, research-based model for reducing—and potentially eliminating—lethal incidents at school.This accessible volume:Outlines the scope of school violence as a broader social problem.Summarizes current information on the traits common to students who commit lethal violence at school.Examines the relationship between bullying/cyberbullying and rampage incidents.Analyzes examples of successful prevention of violent acts and resolution of hostage situations.Describes in detail the concept of positive school climate and introduces the Safe School Communities Model.Synthesizes key research data into violence prevention skills for students, teachers, administrators, and all professionals working in schools.Preventing Lethal School Violence is a must-have resource for researchers and professionals in school psychology and allied education disciplines, including school administration, school counseling, and social work.
