Taking A Second Look: Following Surveys With Student's Descriptions Of The Culture, Diana Nicholson
Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies
This article describes a research study on aggressive behaviour among students in middle school. The study was initiated in response to concern about agressive behaviour held by the school administration. A survey on aggressive behaviour was administered and followed by interviews with a sample of students. Student interviews highlighted a number of very important issues to consider when assessing and responding to aggressive behaviour in a school: school crowding , the playing out of dominant masculinity, involving students in finding solutions to identified problems, and considering the role of the whole school culture in sustaining agressive behaviour.

Prader Willi Syndrome: A Family Experience, Emma Walker
Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies
Genetic research has offered, and continues to offer, a medical explanation of chromosomal disorders such as Down Syndrome and Asberger Syndrome and more recently the rare chromosomal disorder Prader Willi Syndrome.

Louth area of Ireland for individuals with PWS. Unfortunately, PWS is not curable at this time. Between 1995-2003 there …

Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies
The aim of this paper is to relate in brief the story of my life as a refugee in Ireland. It will focus on my reasons for leaving Zimbabwe, my home country, and some general reasons why people find themselves in a position where they should make the very crucial decision to either continue to live in their own country and deal with whatever hardship or persecution, give up and stare death in the face, or move to another place and contend with the challenges of trying to fit in and survive. Writing from a personal point of view, these …

A key area identified was the interface between children in care and the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.

Drug Abuse And Parenting: The Impact On Young Children In The Social Care System In Northern Ireland, Wendy Cousins, Sharon Milner
Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies
In recent years drug abuse has been recognised as a growing problem in Northern Ireland. The following article examines the family backgrounds of a group of young children (n=388) who were looked-after by social services and looks specifically at a group (n=162) whose family lives have involved adults who misuse drugs. Children from drug-abusing families did not show greater levels of recorded abuse or neglect than the other children in the "looked after" population nor were they more likely to stay within the care system. However, the prevalence of heroin and cocaine use in this population was extremely small. Drug …

The organisation has grown from a small 'virtual ' organisation , staffed only by students, to a registered charity employing health and social care staff who supervise students from increasingly diverse professions to learn through …
