This title was first published in 2001: During the last twenty years government rhetoric in the UK has increasingly advocated that statutory health and social care services should regard and treat recipients as 'consumers' in the same way as companies and organizations in the private sector. This involves a considerable cultural change on the part of both service providers and their clients, and this timely study explores the extent to which such a cultural change is actually taking place in British society. The utilization of welfare services by a sample of people aged 70 and above on discharge from inpatient care and in a short period afterwards is examined as a critical testbed for key components of consumerism, including participation, representation, access, choice, information and redress. The book explores not only the extent to which opportunities are being provided for users to play an active role in their care, but also their degree of willingness to assume such a role. By investigating the experiences of clients from a generation which might be considered relatively resistant to a more active participation in health and social care, the study offers an important insight into the extent to which a real social transformation is indeed taking place in the British welfare services.

One evening Tom Chapman found himself standing in his ballroom dance club staring absently as couples danced by and thought, "What a strange way to make a living." And with that idea in mind, he penned a book that is a must-read for everyone involved in the instruction of ballroom dancing: Teaching Ballroom: The Business. 
Tom's sense of humor and irony - combined with 54 years in the dance business - give readers a wildly entertaining and instructional view of the ballroom dance business. 
While addressing critical subjects including employer/employee relations, hiring and firing, sales and the bottom line, Tom maintains a tongue-in-cheek style. "Why not," Tom says. "Dancing is a fun business!" His unique, whimsical, irreverent style will keep your attention as you meet directors, dance instructors, and students that make up the exciting - and often amusing - world of ballroom dance.

What can you do about it? What steps can you take, that could make a real difference to the men around you - and point them toward the right help? Tom Chapman is the founder of mental health charity the Lions Barber Collective (LBC), set up to raise awareness for the prevention of suicide.

Award-winning barber, author, public speaker and international educator, Tom Chapman makes his children's book debut! Abel, his brother Drake and the rest of the Mighty Lions have made it to the final match against the Tigers. They know they have to win the cup, especially because their coach, the fans and their parents all expect it of them. But with the stakes getting higher as the game progresses, it becomes too much for the young footballers and they crack under the pressure. They don't win the match and are seriously disappointed in themselves. Worse, they're worried they've let everyone down. This important picture book portrays the incredible pressure that kids - and especially boys - can face on the field, and discusses how it needs to be addressed, for the sake of the young players' mental health. Tom Chapman is the charismatic founder of The Lions Barber Collective, a charity that promotes suicide prevention and awareness, which focusses on men's and boys' mental health. Introduction by Lauren Callaghan, Consultant Clinical Psychologist The Mighty Lions & the Big Match is a reminder that children can often feel a lot of pressure in their social relationships, at school, in the arts, and on the sports field, as highlighted in this book. Children are particularly sensitive to the messages that adults send to them, however well-intentioned, and can misinterpret any eagerness for them to succeed. This sports-themed book helps show that they can find support and hope in the future, even in the face of disappointment. And it also helps show adults that we can be driving forces to help children enjoy their activities and reduce any performance-related worries they might have. The Mighty Lions & the Big Match is a wonderfully appropriate book for children and adults to read and discuss together, especially for the sports fans among us!
