Peter Corbishley has sent us a paper on "Evaluation, Development and Social Progress." It follows on Method, pp.364-67, and seeks to identify two cycles of social research and development linked as the evaluation of commonsense contexts.

Children's Environments Vol 12, No.4 (December 1995) ISSN 1546-2250
	A Parish Listens to Its Children Peter Corbishley London, UK Abstract A sense of rootedness in place is important for our ability to participate in social networks as adults. Childhood is crucial for developing bonding with place. This article recounts the work of an Anglican parish in helping children to explore their sense of place in inner city London. Understanding their perspective enabled the parish to counter the loss of play space in the local park. The initiative for this piece of research and development came from the Child in the Neighbourhood Group of The Children's Society and from the desire of the society to find new ways of working with grass roots organizations. In a social context where the sense of community has been progressively weakened, firstly by the growth of local government and now the cuts in public expenditure, churches remain an important locus of networking. Church networks can enhance their neighborhoods by taking the perspective of the children who live there. Keywords: urban children, children and neighborhood, children's drama, research with children's drama.

Influencing research
Becoming a member of a Trust Research Group
Within Barts and The London NHS Trust and Queen Mary School of Medicine and Dentistry, we have a number of groups which help to define what research takes place within the two institutions.
The Clinical Research Board is a group of Trust and School researchers, chaired by the Director of Research and Development. It meets monthly and discusses the strategic direction for research. The lay member is Peter Corbishley, a local Tower Hamlets resident.

The Research Ethics Interface group is a quarterly meeting between the Chairs of Local Research Ethics Committees (link to piece on being an REC member) and the Trust to discuss ways of reinforcing good practice in research. The lay member on this group is also Peter Corbishley. (2003)

April 1999 - Ref 439 The characteristics of frequent movers
	Some families move as often as three times a year. Both residents and housing workers see this as contributing to the decline of an area. In a small-scale exploratory study of tenants in the West End of Newcastle, Keith Richardson of Communicate and Peter Corbishley found evidence to suggest that this pattern has its origins in childhood or adolescent experiences, and is not necessarily the result of either economic factors or illegal activities.
	Frequent moving: Looking for love? Keith Richardson and Peter Corbishley
	People who move frequently, usually within the local area, are often seen by professionals and locals as ‘problematic’. But little is known about who these ‘frequent movers’ actually are. This innovative study of the West End of Newcastle challenges current perceptions on the motives and make-up of frequent movers. The researchers spoke directly to frequent movers themselves, as well as to the professionals in closest contact with them. They explore the personal history and circumstances of frequent movers and look in detail at whether their moves were made through choice or necessity. Interviewees had many – often complex – reasons for moving on. However, the researchers suggest that a lack of stability in childhood and adolescence is a defining characteristic and that frequent movers may settle once they have formed a supportive relationship. http://www.jrf.org.uk/bookshop/details.asp?pubID=137

Religious Trends 3 - 2002/2003

Reviewed by Peter Corbishley
The author says that he has only given us ‘facts and figures’ for dipping into. However these are so well presented that they easily yield basic scenarios. About a third of the world continues to be Christian, and just under half of that Roman Catholic. Islam is on the rise worldwide (1.2). However Christianity is growing in Africa, and in the smaller congregations and denominations. Something of a vaguely ‘Christian’ presence remains in England in around 60% of the population (2.2). Yet practice is in increasing decline. The ‘spiritual’ is in high ascendance over the ‘religious’. Perhaps this was always so. Church attendance on Sundays in England since 1850, and perhaps before, has always been a minority activity. But from under 25% in 1850 it is now around 10% with a big dip in the last decade. (2.15) About a third of children are still baptised, down by nearly two thirds since the Second World War. Yet religious practice among teenagers, in the unlikely circumstances of its actual occurrence, produces more liberal attitudes to third world poverty, the environment and immigration along with the belief that something
can be done about these issues (5.5). Belief follows practice. The book is intended for practical outcomes among Christian congregations. It is about mission and evangelisation, and the local structures that best support such outreach (2.4, 5.5, 5.17 for example). Theoreticians, in contrast, might well ask just what is meant by a ‘congregation’ or a ‘denomination’. But for an academic, the book, with its very useful listing of recent research reports, is more about suggestive hypotheses than theoretically defined ‘findings’. In terms of tight measurements it is unclear, for example, how well local authority boundaries match with Roman Catholic Diocesan boundaries. But such comments, while they may be relevant when it comes to linking the UK data to
the questions on religion in the 2001 Census, easily miss the value of a work that provides evidence of rates of change over periods of time and geographical areas. Perhaps we can look forward to the data becoming available on disk. Certainly the series should be finding its place on university library bookshelves.

Common Ground – for Mutual Home Ownership 2003

Interest in the tenant ownership cooperative model came from the New Deal for Communities (NDC) company on the Ocean Estate in Tower Hamlets. Peter Corbishley is a consultant to the NDC Housing Sub-committee. He has also been active in housing co-op activity in Tower Hamlets for the past 20 years and is the current chair of the Bromley Street Housing Co-op in Stepney. This is one of five, fully mutual housing co-operatives in the borough with an asset base of £4 million. Corbishley advised that there is a huge problem of teacher turnover in Tower Hamlets linked to housing costs. Similar problems apply to social workers and NHS staff as well as other key workers. Corbishley was interviewed with Steve Inkpen, Senior Housing Manager with Tower Hamlets Council, currently on secondment to the NDC.

The Korean Embassy
Friday, January 12, 2007

On Tuesday 9th January, I went along with Philip Gowman (of London Korean Links), and Peter Corbishley, to meet the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade at the Korean Embassy in London.
We provided feedback to the organisers of Think Korea 2006, regarding the successes of the many Korean events in London last year, such as Korean Day at the V&A Museum in May. My 'Show DJG on BBC' Campaign was briefly discussed over lunch at Arang restaurant.
