New additions to the PIElink Library

Here you will find the Editor's selection of some of the most useful reports from 2020.

You can browse and return to these in your own time, as suits.

Here, in the rest of Robin’s (typically eclectic) round up,  there are titles only for the papers most recently uploaded to the Library; but we group them - as best we can - into a range of core subjects.

  • Alcohol and drugs
  • Building back better : systemic and system change thinking
  • Case studies and good practice examples
  • Children, families and ACEs
  • COVID era learning
  • Creating constructive environments
  • Health, clinical and diagnostic perspectives
  • New insights from psychology and elsewhere
  • PIEs in disability and older persons provision
  • Research issues
  • Support, peer support, and shared learning
  • Trauma and violence, including domestic violence
  • Voices

Note that here a number of related issues interweave.  The same issues may appear and re-appear in various contexts and guises. There is therefore some duplication in these listings.

(In the Library itself this is managed with hyperlinks.)

For earlier additions from previous years, see Newsletters:  HERE

For a more extensive collection of practice examples, see: Case Studies : HERE
