Sport for All in a financial crisis: survival and adaptation in competing organisational models of local authority sport services

This paper centres on the findings of research undertaken by the author for the Association of Public Service Excellence (APSE) that assesses local authority sport services in England in the context of an economic recession since 2008, the election of a national coalition government in 2010, and subsequent reductions in local government finance. The study took the form of a series of interviews with senior local authority personnel and sector representatives (n=55) underpinned by the findings of a nationwide survey (n=95) and a review of secondary sources. This paper centres on one theme to emerge from the study, namely, the demise of Sport for All, defined in terms of a government strategy designed to increase physical activity among the general population, in a context of financial attenuation and a political orientation away from direct state provision of services. The study found that competing organisational models of sport services across England underpin the retention or curtailment of Sport for All. In the ‘ensuring council’ model, sport services retain the core capacity to shape and deliver services an increasingly fragmented mixed local economy of provision. However, models that favour extending private or voluntary and community sector management pose significant challenges for councils seeking to retain Sport for All as a policy objective and as specific practices

Government Funding of Academic and Related Research, 1975-1987

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The aim of this study was to provide internationally comparable data on government funding of academic and related research in six countries (United Kingdom, France, West Germany, Netherlands, United States and Japan). This study comprises 52 individual tables containing the results from the data; the UK Data Archive does not hold the raw underlying data. <br

Innovations in the U.K. Since 1945

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The aim of this research was to survey significant technical innovations (defined as the successful commercial introduction of new or improved products, processes or materials) which have been introduced into British industry and commerce since 1945. The survey was conducted for the purpose of providing information which complements that on other aspects of the nation's scientific and technological activity, and for use as a measurement of the output of innovative activities, indicating the nature of the innovative firms, knowledge inputs, the characteristics of innovations, and the flow between industries. Significant innovations were identified by groups of experts knowledgeable in particular sectors, and their information was confirmed by the innovating firms wherever possible.Main Topics:The survey contains the following information for each innovation: (1) a brief description of the innovation; (2) the industrial sector of the innovation (SIC, ISIC and SITC codes); (3) the type of innovation (product, process, etc.); (4) the sources of major knowledge inputs to the innovation; (5) the dates of introduction of the innovation; (6) the sector (SIC and ISIC), size, status and name of the innovating firm; (7) the sector (SIC and ISIC), size, country of origin and name of parent company where appropriate; (8) the sector (SIC and ISIC) in which the innovation was first used

CERN Data Bank on World Experimental High Energy Physics, 1961-1984

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.In an earlier SSRC-supported study (grant number HR7448), a considerable amount of bibliometric (that is, publication and citation) data was produced for all the main experimental high-energy physics facilities worldwide over the period 1961-82. The purpose of the ESRC-funded project reported here was two-fold: (1) to extend the period covered up to the end of 1984, thereby bringing in the major discoveries of the W and Z particles made by CERN (the European Particle Physics Laboratory) in 1983; (2) to computerize the data for the period 1961-84, and produce programs for analyzing the results that could be utilized by sociologists of science in undertaking secondary analysis

Survey on National Vocational Qualifications in Engineering, 1994

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The principal objectives of the study were to assess: awareness and take up of NVQs among engineering companies; the implications of designing qualifications to meet NCVQ requirements; the effects of NVQs on the quality and quantity of training in the engineering industry; the extent to which the NVQ system helps companies to cope with the new training needs which are arising as a consequence of technology and organisational change. The terms of reference specified that the study should concentrate on `intermediate engineering skills' i.e. craft, technician and supervisory skills because of the crucial role these skills play in engineering competitiveness.Main Topics:Awareness and knowledge of NVQs; benefits of NVQ standard assessments; adoption and consideration of NVQs; effect of NVQs on training program
