The Child of Today is the Adult of Tomorrow: The Inaugural Worcester Business School and Children's Alliance Conference
No full textThe raison d’être of the Children’s Alliance is to support the lives of children and young people. Through its campaign work, the Children’s Alliance targets opportunities to enhance life conditions for children, young people, their families, and carers. It seeks to ‘work for the next generation’ to raise awareness of children’s circumstances and influence their futures through policy and community.
Through today’s collaboration between the Children’s Alliance and the University of Worcester Business School, we recognise the proverb ‘it takes a village to raise a child’. Welcome villagers to our inaugural conference. Together we will explore ways and means to raise children in a safe and healthy environment and establish that right for all children through their life course into productive and contented adulthood
Navigating the Electrical Playground
No full textThis 'IMPACT' contribution to the University of Worcester RESEARCH@worc, Spring 2025 Issue, outlines the route taken in the conceptualisation of the application of the en vivo leadership methodology (Murray, 2006; 2020), to the creation of a framework designed to protect children when online facing plausible harm from would-be predators.
The construct of time is used to make explicit established play patterns, bespoke to every child, and from these, a means to detect deviation from etched patterns indicating the call for purposeful curiosity on the part of the caretaker. Plausible attributions include the presence of an unwelcome 'fake play' companion. Means to upskill the child and caretaker are devised and form part of an educational training workshop, alongside practical training for contact with law enforcement and engagement with support bodies. The target of the intrapersonal work is to affirm agency for confident critical thinking on the part of the child and caretaker.
The work is an independent entity in itself and also partners 'The Electric Playground. The Pervasive Electrification of Childhood, Its Consequences and the Resolutions' as commissioned by the Alliance4Children
Test Pit Investigation: Oldbury Farm March 7 and 14, 2017. Data Structure Report
Get PDFArchaeology students of the Institute of Science and the Environment, at the University of Worcester conducted an archaeological investigation at Oldbury Farm, SO 827 554, on March 7 and 14, 2017, to follow up the results of field survey undertaken in 2016. Test pits were placed in an area in which Middle Palaeolithic and Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age flints had been previously recovered. Excavation and further surface pick-up identified an area of fire cracked rock which coincides with an area of ferrous dipolar anomalies revealed by a gradiometer survey conducted by CsMg associates (2016). These results suggest the presence of prehistoric activity, which invites further investigation

Significant People: Key Stage 1 Activity Book
No full textIn 2016-17 The National Archives collaborated with the University of Worcester to create a Key Stage 1 resource to tie in with the National Curriculum’s focus on ‘significant people in British history’.
Students on the Graphic Design course’s Children’s Book Design module were given a live brief to create an activity book which focussed on three key people and incorporated archival material. The students were given a shortlist of significant people to choose from as well as biographical information.
The students also visited The National Archives to hear about the curriculum and our requirements. As part of the visit the students also had the opportunity to handle documents related to each of our shortlisted significant people.
After the students submitted their designs, staff at The National Archives and the University of Worcester amalgamated some of them into the final resource
Exploring the experiences of domestic abuse survivors working in the field of domestic abuse support: What are the psychological consequences of working in this field for women survivors of abuse?
No full textWomen’s community groups as well as domestic and sexual abuse support organisations provide safe spaces of healing for women surviving trauma and abuse; spaces where mutual understanding and shared experience can offer a sense of hope and recovery. It is quite usual for a significant proportion of support workers and practitioners within these organisations to share lived experiences of abuse, estimated to constitute over 50% of organisational staffing (Slattery and Goodman, 2009; Bemiller and Williams, 2011). This has been common since the first women’s groups were formed in communities in the 1960s and 1970s in England and these women’s community services are arguably never more needed than currently, given the current epidemic of violence against women and girls being perpetrated (Justice Inspectorates, 2021).
However, what of the impact on support workers with lived experience of abuse? I interviewed twelve women support workers from five different women’s support organisations to ask about their thoughts, feelings, and experiences regarding their career choice and to enquire how this had affected them in terms of both positive and negative emotional impacts. What were they gaining personally and what was the impact on them when undertaking this emotionally challenging work
