“…There exists a growing body of evaluative studies and academic papers which provide information about the nature and effectiveness of this type of approach (Hayden and Jenkins, 2014;Batty, 2013;Mason, 2012;Parr, 2012, Flint, 2012Flint et al, 2011;White et al, 2008;Nixon et al, 2006). These studies have consistently suggested that 'effectiveness' for both service users and providers is bound up with qualitative features of interpersonal relationships.…”

“…Whilst bearing in mind those caveats, it is of note that findings from the ongoing evaluation of FIPs -and of similar models of intensive family intervention (e.g., Flint et al 2011) -have been very consistent, and consistently positive. White and colleagues' (2008) mixed methods study focused on the work of the first 53 Family Intervention Projects, and indicated that FIPs were successful in improving a range of outcomes for families with significant and complex needs, although the study also highlighted some areas of variation, including projects' assessment of families' needs, and parenting interventions on offer.…”

Physical Cultures of Stigmatisation: Health Policy & Social Class

In recent years, the increasing regulation of people's health and bodies has been exacerbated by a contemporary ‘obesity discourse’ centred on eating less, exercising more and losing weight. This paper contributes to the growing body of work critically examining this discourse and highlights the way physical activity and health policy directed at ‘tackling’ the obesity ‘crisis’ in the UK articulates numerous powerful discourses that operate to legitimise and privilege certain ways of knowing and usher forth certain desirable forms of embodiment. This has given greater impetus to further define the role of physical activity, sport and physical education as instruments for addressing public health agendas. It is argued that these policies have particular implications for social class through their constitution of (un)healthy and (in)active ‘working class’ bodies. One of the most powerful forms of stigmatisation and discrimination circulating within contemporary health emerges when the social and cultural tensions of social class intersect with obesity discourse and its accompanying imperatives related to physical activity and diet. This raises some important questions about the future of sport and physical activity as it is shaped by the politics of broader health agendas and our position within this terrain as ‘critics’. Consequently, the latter part of the paper offers reflections on the nature and utility of our (and others’) social science critique in the politics of obesity and articulates the need for crossing disciplinary and sectoral borders.

Intensive family intervention projects have become an increasingly prominent mechanism within anti-social behaviour and social policy programmes in the UK and are supported, in principle, by the new coalition government. They have also been the subject of considerable academic controversy within the evaluative and critical literature. This article attempts to inform continuing debates about the purpose and effects of these projects by conceptualising the contexts within which interactions between projects and families occur; classifying the component aspects of roles and support provided; and presenting a three-part typology of potential outcomes from project interventions.
