About seven per cent of children in England are educated in private schools, but the significance of the private sector in policy terms is far greater than this proportion would indicate. While schools such as Eton College and Winchester College are still the best-known, these schools form only as small part of the private sector, which is actually characterised by its diversity. The number of private Muslim schools has increased considerably since the 1970s due largely to immigration. Furthermore, individual profit-orientated schools have established themselves in recent years. Despite the diversity within the sector and the lack of evidence, there is a widely held belief that private sector schools are more educationally effective. Indeed, the belief influences government policy towards both private and state-maintained schooling. (DIPF/Orig.) ; Ungefähr sieben Prozent der Schulkinder in England besuchen private Schulen, aber die politische Bedeutung des privaten Sektors reicht weit darüber hinaus. Auch heutzutage sind die traditionellen Eliteinternate wie Eton College die bekanntesten englischen Privatschulen, obwohl sie nur einen sehr geringen Anteil des Privatschulsektors ausmachen, der durch seine Vielfalt charakterisiert ist. So ist die Zahl privater muslimischer Schulen seit den 1970er Jahren im Zuge der Zuwanderung stetig angestiegen. Auch privatwirtschaftlich arbeitende Schulen haben sich etablieren können. Trotz der Diversifität und fehlender empirischer Evidenz ist der Glaube weit verbreitet, dass der Privatschulsektor akademisch effektiver ist. Diese Überzeugung beeinflusst auch die Schulpolitik der Regierung in Hinblick auf den privaten wie auch den staatlichen Sektor. (DIPF/Orig.)

The history of celebrity has been revised in recent years. Particular claims have been made for the invention of a recognizably modern form of celebrity at various points in the 'long 18th century.' This putative rise of modern celebrity has been linked with the rise of a modern public sphere and in many ways is understood as an offshoot of it. Furthermore, modern celebrity is often presented as a commercial enterprise and perhaps another aspect of the equally popular claim that the 18th century witnessed a 'consumer revolution.' This essay argues that there is also a political history of celebrity that has its origins in traditional forms of charisma and public devotion to famous figures. The pre-modern histories of monarchy and sainthood are not irrelevant to the history of modern celebrity and these perspectives can and should be incorporated into any understanding of how celebrity emerged as a form of public notoriety and influence in the long 18th century.

The NHS, yet again, is in transition with an emphasis on groups of general practitioners (GPs) (clinical commissioning groups) making decisions on which specialist services should be chosen for patients requiring referral from primary care. It is an area of new terminology with a new language and further change for all working in the NHS and the all-important interface between primary and secondary care, and its impact on teamwork. There are many drivers including choice, efficiency, franchising of services, coordination and leadership in an enormous organisation, but not least reducing costs and keeping to a budget. There are many logistical issues and ethical anxieties, and only time will inform patients, practitioners, stakeholders and politicians as to its success.

• Opsomming: Die verhaal van evangeliebediening by Fort England is ouer as die kerkie self. Eerw. William Shaw het die eerste godsdiensoefeninge gehou in die nuwe leërbarakke wat deur die Hottentot Cape Corps beman is. Die gedagte het by hom ontstaan om vir die manskappe 'n kerkie op te rig en 'n Sondagskool te stig, maar baie jare sou verloop voor die ideaal verwesenlik word. Dit was eers in 1861 dat die Metodistekerk die Fort England-kerk net buite die militêre grens gebou het, hoofsaaklik vir die garnisoen se gebruik. Toe die ou fort in 1875 in 'n sielsiekegestig omskep is, het die inwonende kapelaan sy eie dienste in die sale gehou; die kerkie was tot in 1891, toe begin is om daar vir hulle dienste te hou, vir die pasiënte verbode. In 1913 is die kerkie uiteindelik deur die regering vir £2 000 van die Metodistekerk gekoop en word sedertdien uitsluitlik vir die Fort England-hospitaal gebruik. ; • Summary: The story of religious ministry at Fort England is much older than the chapel itself. The Rev. William Shaw held his first local services in the rough army barracks manned by the Hottentot Cape Corps. He conceived the idea of a chapel and Sunday-school for the men on the site, but it was many years before this could be realised. It was not until 1861 that the Methodist Church built the Fort England Chapel just outside the military boundary, primarily for the use of the garrison. When the old fort became an asylum in 1875, the resident chaplain conducted his own services inside the wards; the chapel was out of bounds to patients until 1891, when services began to be held for them there. Eventually, in 1913, the government bought the chapel from the Methodists for £2 000, since when it has served the Fort England Hospital exclusively.

'This is Little England' features an action to camera erasure of the Union until only that of the England flag remains. This work metaphorically enacts the political and constitutional turmoil that has beset the UK as an outcome of the 2016 withdrawal result of the European Union referendum. The video was specifically made to be exhibited at the Whitley Bay Comrades Club in North Tyneside. First opened in 1920, following the Armistice of World War 1, a number of Comrades Clubs were established throughout the UK by British Servicemen as a means of preserving the spirit of friendship forged during the experience of war within an establishment providing hospitality. Membership of the club is now open to the general public.

Part One of this essay argued that the new field of juvenilia studies provides the explanatory framework that allows us to read what Young England does signify, and to indicate how the term "Young" signified in its time. More specifically, the recovery by juvenilia studies of the cultural presence of young people in Britain in the generation before Young England—its recovery of an active juvenile tradition of writers, simultaneous with and related to Romanticism—puts into context the self-fashioning and reception of this next post-Romantic generation: ambitious Young Englanders George Smythe (1818–57), John Manners (1818–1906), and Andrew Baillie-Cochrane (1816–90) in particular. Friends from boyhood, schoolmates at Eton and Cambridge, born into families of rank or on their way to titles, they looked to other bold young nobles who had made a splash before them—George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788–1824) and Percy Shelley (1792–1822). Those Romantics' prior precocious fame provided the justification for believing that Young Englanders could make a splash too, and gave them the script for how to do so. Part Two focuses on Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881), their political mentor, who used this script explicitly in his Coningsby novels about Young England, fusing the movement's personalities with the characters of their meteoric Romantic predecessors.

This is a comment on the article by Stephen Gay in this volume entitled 'The Choice Between Adoption and Foster Care as Child Protection Responses' It aims to provide a different perspective on the relative merits of adoption and foster care. The article begins in Part I by outlining the historical and legislative context of adoption in England and Wales. Part II offers some observations on several different measures available in this jurisdiction aimed at ensuring that the interests of children are protected, including the Special Guardianship Order, which was introduced in 2005.

News that England had lost out to Italy 3-2 on penalties in the Euro championship final after finishing 1-1 after 90-odd minutes of regular playing time had left me feeling somewhat discordant. After all, as an Australian resident in the UK, I had no "skin in the game" of this particular game (and the ball is the wrong shape for me anyway…) and found that I actually wanted them to win.

The Local Tobacco Control Profiles for England provides a snapshot of the extent of tobacco use, tobacco related harm, and measures being taken to reduce this harm at a local level. These profiles have been designed to help local government and health services to assess the effect of tobacco use on their local populations. They will inform commissioning and planning decisions to tackle tobacco use and improve the health of local communities. The tool allows you to compare your local authority against other local authorities in the region and benchmark your local authority against the England average.

This paper looks at how social housing in the England has come under scrutiny from the government over the last year following the tragic fire that took place in 2017 at the Grenfell tower block in Kensington, London, which resulted in over 70 deaths and it asks why the government has used this episode to reframe the debate about social housing. It looks at the legal framework regarding fire safety in the country and describes the responsibilities that landlords are required to comply with to provide homes for their customers that have had the appropriate fire safety measures implemented. Social housing is contextualised in regards to the focus of successive governments since 2010, first, the Conservative dominated Coalition and then successive Conservative governments. The political ideology followed by these administrations was informed by the neo-liberal agenda that had been set during the 1980s which sought to reduce state involvement in social housing, the privatisation of housing, the use of market forces within the provision of housing and the promotion of the home ownership agenda. The introduction of austerity as a policy by the Coalition government in 2010 after their election was a response to the Global Financial Crash of 2008 and has been used by the government to carry out large cuts in the provision of welfare services to those in need. The theoretical underpinnings of the process of framing and re-framing policies are described as well as how this is being applied to social housing in England in the 21st century. It concludes by asking how a tragedy that health and safety implications for the fire safety management within social housing has, has become a focal point for re-framing the debate about social housing.
