Neville Harris, Education, Law and Diversity
No full textNeville Harris is the leading education law academic in the UK and his work has been critical in establishing education law as a distinct category within the academic curriculum. In many respects this book ‘picks up the story’ that he began in his earlier monograph Education and the Law: Regulation and Consumerism (Sweet and Maxwell, 1993). There the focus was on the extensive reforms introduced by the post-1979 Conservative governments which dramatically restructured the legal framework established by the Education Act 1944. In this book, while the historical background is not overlooked, the focus is primarily on the subsequent reforms of post-1997 Labour governments. And such is the centrality of law in this area (and the extent – vast amounts of legislation and over 100 statutory instruments a year!) that the book, in effect, provides a critical audit of the education policies of New Labour
The future flight deck: modelling dual, single and distributed crewing options
Full text linkIt is argued that the barrier to single pilot operation is not the technology, but the failure to consider the whole socio-technical system. To better understand the socio-technical system we model alternative single pilot operations using Cognitive Work Analysis (CWA) and analyse those models using Social Network Analysis (SNA). Four potential models of single pilot operations were compared to existing two pilot operations. Using SOCA-CAT from CWA, we were able to identify the potential functional loading and interactions between networks of agents. The interactions formed the basis on the SNA. These analyses potentially form the basis for distributed system architecture for the operation of a future aircraft. The findings from the models suggest that distributed crewing option could be at least as resilient, in network architecture terms, as the current dual crewing operations
Driving automation: Learning from aviation about design philosophies
No full textFull vehicle automation is predicted to be on British roads by 2030 (Walker et al., 2001). However, experience in aviation gives us some cause for concern for the 'drive-by-wire' car (Stanton and Marsden, 1996). Two different philosophies have emerged in aviation for dealing with the human factor: hard vs. soft automation, depending on whether the computer or the pilot has ultimate authority (Hughes and Dornheim, 1995). This paper speculates whether hard or soft automation provides the best solution for road vehicles, and considers an alternative design philosophy in vehicles of the future based on coordination and cooperation

Resolving disputes about educational provision: A comparative perspective on special educational needs
No full textWith contributions by recognised experts in the field of education law, this book is a comparative study of the resolution of special education disputes, including via mediation. It analyses the varying approaches in England, Scotland, the US and the Netherlands and addresses major questions of dispute resolution, redress, judicial and non-judicial approaches and the protection of citizens' rights. The first review of mediation in citizen v. state disputes outside the context of the courts, this topical book also incorporates findings from a recent ESRC study into dispute resolution in special educational needs cases. It will not only be of interest to those concerned with education issues but also those interested in administrative justice, especially the role of mediation generally. © Neville Harris and Sheila Riddell 2011.
