The pandemic has significantly impacted people's engagement with the administrative justice system (AJS). As we navigate the post-pandemic era, the siloed landscape of tribunals, ombuds, advice services and NGOs face the challenge of maintaining trust in the justice system's fairness, efficacy and inclusivity. Examining the journeys individuals undertake to seek justice in housing and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), this book sheds light on how these institutions adapted to remote service provision. Written by key names in the field, this important contribution uncovers valuable insights for digitalization efforts and offers concrete recommendations for improving pathways to justice.
A report of adults' participation in learning in the arts and crafts, based on a survey commissioned by NIACE from Gallup in 1996 and funded by the Arts Council of England. The detailed research was carried out by Naomi Sargant, and forms Chapter 11 of the full research study 'The Learning Divide', Sargant et al, published by NIACE 1997.
These two papers address the challenge of harnessing the most appropriate media technology to help learning and teaching into the next century. "Motivation, Access, and the Media," presents the case for greater access for learners to the various technologies. The paper makes the case for access to be free at the point of use and argues that the education poor must not also become information poor. It gives an overview of the history of the contribution of the broadcast media to adult learning. "Motivation Is Curriculum," argues that a responsive further education system takes motivation as curriculum. The second paper suggests that there is a set of educational skills in negotiating appropriate programs of learning for young people and adults returning to education so that it is a new and exciting experience rather than a return to the scene of disappointment and failure. It contends that there are important alliances to be fostered with local, regional, and national media that are the natural channels of communication for some of the groups currently underrepresented in further education. Examples are given of successful collaboration with the media to widen participation and increase the profile of adult learning. (YLB)

The previously documented gap between the learning-rich and the learning-poor is being compounded by an emerging information divide where people with access to the new communications technologies are more likely to have access to learning than those without. Furthermore, while some 'excluded groups' are succeeding in gaining access to learning, there has been little change in the overall national participation patterns. These worrying facts come to light in this latest research continuing the series of surveys on adult participation in learning. Based on responses from over 5,000 people, and covering factors such as age, gender, previous experiences of education, socio-economic background and geographical location. The learning divide revisited describes in detail those who are participating in adult learning and those who are not. Given that issues of social inclusion are high on the national agenda, The learning divide revisited is absolutely essential for an up-to-date picture of how adults are taking part in, and how they are being excluded from, learning in the UK.Comprehensive data in table form with analysis gives researchers, academics and educational managers real ammunition with which to develop policy.

Adult learning and social division: a persistent pattern continues a series of surveys on adult participation in learning. Using responses of 5000 adults aged 17 and over in the UK, this report identifies key indicators of participation in learning as well as reporting on how adults spend their leisure time; what adults are learning about; their sources of information about learning, its location and length; the role of qualifications; motivations and outcomes of learning; barriers to learning; and the information divide. The 2002 survey shows a high degree of stability with those undertaken in 1996 (The Learning Divide) and in 1999 (The Learning Divide Revisited), and confirms that the UK still faces an enormous task in involving all its people in the learning society, and that the learning divide between the learning-rich and the learning-poor continues to exist. The report provides trend data to illustrate how patterns of participation have changed over time as well as offering a benchmark against which future changes can be measured.Adult learning and social division: a persistent pattern is absolutely essential for an up-to-date illustration of how adults are taking part in, and how they are being excluded from learning in the UK. Comprehensive data in table form gives researchers, academics and educational managers real ammunition with which to distil important policy imperatives from the analysis.

Adult participation in education in the United Kingdom in 1999 was examined in a survey during which a sample of 5,054 adults over the age of 17 (2,366 men and 2,688 women) throughout the United Kingdom were interviewed. The following were among the major findings: (1) 23% of adults enrolled in courses were taking computer courses; (2) the rate of participation in education among retired persons decreased from 20% in 1996 to 16% in 1999; (3) the rate of participation among part-time workers increased from 19% to 29% in the same 3 years; (4) the rate of adult participation in education in Wales is 28% (versus the national average of 22%); (5) of all areas of the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland has the lowest rate of adult participation; (6) social class, age, and length of initial education all continue to have powerful effects on adults' participation in education, with older people being less likely to participate than their younger counterparts; and (7) 76% of those interviewed said that they will likely take another course, whereas 87% of those who have not participated in education since leaving school say that they are unlikely to do so in the future. Twelve tables/figures are included. (MN)
