With Ratio, the findings don’t come at the end. They emerge along the way. These pages record progress with our partners. What is said is contingent. Its value becomes clear over time.
In the last input, we summarised one interpretation for women getting, to use their words, ‘stuck’, for feeling out of control. This is not the last word on this matter. But, supposing it is correct, why would an SRG make a difference? Again, we asked the women, and the staff group, and we trawled through…
The Wigan Deal has evolved since 2011. It is an agreement between public systems and citizens. Public systems are clear about what they can do. Citizens are clear about what they can do. This isn’t a statement. It is a continuing conversation. It demands a different kind of public policy. (Wigan is part of Greater…
As part of a range of initiatives to be the most child friendly city in Europe, Leeds has introduced a radical change in its response to children in need. The innovation is a response to the assess, respond/not respond, assess, respond/not respond cycle that irritates families and dispirits practitioners. This meant changing conditions for practitioners,…
Future of Leeds’ waste Leeds wants to be the most child friendly city in Europe. Its vision was built from the views of thousands of young residents on how to make the City a better place to play, live and grow up. This consultation led to the 12 wishes, the practical concerns of children and…
Islington is one of London’s 32 boroughs. It has roughly 200,000 residents. In common with much of England, it is at the same time both rich and poor. The local authority, health and school agencies have combined to create strong and valued public services. But inequalities persist. The new decade has been marked with a…
The settlement movement was one of a raft of reforming efforts emerging in Victorian times in response to urban disadvantage. The following ngrams indicate how much was written over time about each. The settlement movement has had relatively small but continuous attention on a scale akin to the drive for garden cities. The catalysts for…
The idea of missions and settlements caught fire. Cambridge colleges headed south of the river. As the following map, drawn in the first part of the 20th Century shows, Pembroke House was just one of a dozen missions, mostly congregated in Southwark. https://www.queens.cam.ac.uk/visiting-the-college/history/college-facts/queens-house-mission Charles Booth’s poverty map shows four missions in the Walworth area, Charterhouse…
There was a contagion. The idea of missions in disadvantaged communities spread across Oxford, Cambridge and through the public schools. The colleges and schools were primarily drawn to London. The Oxford colleges headed to the East End. The Cambridge colleges looked south of the river. The public school missions distributed across the capital. Diagram built…
WEvolution is still in the early stage of its development. Not many people know about SRGs. It is necessary to push the innovation to get reluctant people to try it. There is nothing wrong with this. Most innovation starts this way. The problem occurs when the innovator forgets to to advance beyond push. None of…
WEvolution has been at the heart of efforts to form 100 SRGs in Scotland, England, Wales and Netherlands. The point of the learning -more women in control of their lives- means translating 100 SRGs into 1,000 or more. The first meetings reflected on what might need to change for this growth to happen. 1. Recruitment…
