Things in the library 8th March...

Things to help you work...
We are not really a ssshhh! sort of library but if you really don't want to be disturbed whilst you are working here then please ask at the counter and use one of our 'Do not disturb' signs to place on your desk.




Things about quality of care...
The 'Beyond the High Fence' report has been published by Pathways Associates & NHS and was co-produced with people with a learning disability and autistic people who are, or have been, in hospital and offers their views on what more needs to happen to improve quality of care and support people to make a successful return to their communities.

Things about gangs...
The Children's commissioner has published a report 'Keeping Kids Safe' Improving safeguarding responses to gang violence and criminal exploitation.
This report investigates what it means to be a child gang member in England. It estimates how many children in England are in gangs, and looks at the risks factors which make it more likely for a child to end up being groomed for gang membership. Finally, it questions whether those responsible for safeguarding children are responding adequately to the rise in gang violence and how children can better be kept safe.

Things about world domination...
Well not quite ..we are working on that... but we are getting fantastic responses from the recent  Randomised Coffee Trial and my favourite comments so far is "Great idea, keep it up, you are changing the world". If you missed joining in this time we will be running them several times a year so watch out for future dates.

Things for early career researchers...

Things for eating in...
I love the taste of pomegranates and love this dish...so whether you are a 'hit them with the back of a spoon' or a 'buy them ready seeded in a tub' sort of person do try this lovely herb salad with pomegranate & pistachios.
