Identification and Referral to Improve Safety (IRIS) programme
No full textExecutive summary:
Domestic violence and abuse (DVA) is recognised as a significant global public health
issue (World Health Organisation (WHO) 2013). DVA is a serious, multifaceted societal
issue with profound health and mental wellbeing consequences with the potential for
longer term health care needs in supporting survivors. The Office for National Statistics
(2015) crime survey for 2013-2014 estimates that at least 1.4 million women and
700,000 men aged between 16 and 59 experienced DVA in England and Wales equating
to 8.5% of women and 4.5% of men reporting a DVA crime (ONS, 2015). Furthermore,
new data reports that 85% of DVA victims sought help, on average five times from
professionals, including healthcare professionals, in the year before they received
effective help (Safe Lives 2015). The cost to public services of domestic abuse (uprated
to 2013 prices) is £4.3 bn with the majority of costs attributed to the health service
(£1.9 bn) (Walby 2004, 2009).
In 2011 the findings from a cluster randomised controlled trial (RCT); funded by the
Health Foundation, for the Identification and Referral to Improve Safety (IRIS)
programme was published in The Lancet (Feder et al., 2011). The trial was based on two
urban primary care Trusts; Bristol and Hackney in London with a total of 48 general
practices involved in the study from 2007 - 2010. The IRIS intervention programme
comprises of a structured approach to support and management of DVA by providing
training to clinical and non-clinical staff located within GP surgeries, ongoing consultancy
to the practice team, a prompt within the patient’s medical records and a defined referral
pathway to an advocate educator (AE) working locally. In November 2010 the IRIS
National Steering group was formed. The current membership of this group comprises
Donna Covey (Chair) – CEO, AVA, Professor Gene Feder – University of Bristol, Carol
Metters – CEO, Next Link, Karen Ingala-Smith – CEO, nia, Val Lunn – CEO, WAIS, Dr.
Roxane Agnew Davis – DVTraining Ltd. The IRIS DVA intervention model has received
national recognition and strategic relevance in over seven key UK documents on
domestic violence and abuse.
This independent review of the national IRIS intervention is based on national and local
data that is widely available since the publication of the IRIS RCT study (Feder et al.,
2011). This report has been conducted independently of the national IRIS steering group
but in consultation as part of the review process to compile this report for the
Department of Health (DOH) 3 year funding criteria (2013 – 2016).
The review is solely based on the literature available at the time of submitting this report
(June 2016) and includes the annual IRIS data reports (2013, 2014, 2015) published
peer review articles (Feder et al., 2011, Devine et al., 2012), local IRIS service
evaluations (5 independent reports) from commissioned IRIS sites and an evaluation of
the IRIS train the trainers report
Epistolary Communication in Iris Murdoch's Novels
No full textThis paper investigates the narrative functions of deceitful letters in Iris Murdoch’s The Black Prince. The presentation includes extracts from the aforementioned novel, which is analysed in the context of Murdoch’s own views on epistolary communication and her philosophical meditations on language and morality. Across a range of Murdoch's novels, I explore the common motives behind disingenuous letters, their implications on interpersonal relationships, and the transmissional shortcomings of the epistolary medium.
To illuminate Murdoch’s communicative ethos as a prolific correspondent, this project refers to the compositional traits that Peter J. Conradi ties to her early ‘epistolary habit’ in Iris Murdoch: A Life and consult various letters exchanged between the author and her intimate relations in Living on Paper: Letters from Iris Murdoch: 1934–1995.
In order to understand Murdoch’s stance on the association between ethics and language, I plan to review her layered perspectives on Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. I refer to Murdoch’s response to Wittgenstein in 'Thinking and Language' (1951), 'Vision and Choice in Morality' (1956) and her 1972 Blashfield Address ‘Salvation by Words’, and Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals (1992). Finally, I will consider Murdoch’s modification of Weil’s concept of ‘attention’ in ‘The Idea of Perfection’ and ‘Vision and Choice in Morality’ to understand how moral selection pre-empts epistolary projection

Data Integrity Problems in an Open Hypermedia Link Service
No full textA hypermedia link service is system which stores the information describing hypertext links in a database which is separate from the data content over which the links are intended to operate. One of the first open hypermedia link services was Microcosm, which takes this philosophy to the extreme, storing not only the links in a separate database, but also the information about the endpoints of the links. The most important advantage of such an organisation is that the system remains open so that hypertext functionality may be extended to third party applications. The first part of this thesis describes the background to open hypermedia link services and describes the Microcosm system, which was developed by the Multimedia Research Group at the University of Southampton. The major problem with storing all the information about links separately from the content is that such a scheme introduces many opportunities for the introduction of inconsistencies and the loss of integrity of the hypermedia data model. The second part of this thesis examines these problems, and proposes a number of solutions. It concludes that no one solution can resolve all the problems, and that in order to ensure integrity it is necessary to impose some conditions which limit the degree of openness
