This 'in practice' article describes and reflects on the mixed methodology used in a realist evaluation of the impact of an arts intervention for children (aged 10-15) in a school in Kashmir, an area of conflict. The evaluation focused on art based... Read More about Developing an evaluation strategy in Kashmir: Assessing the impact of an arts intervention with school children in an area of conflict.
Prevention through Design (PtD) educational elements in engineering, architectural and construction domain: A review (2024)
Journal Article
Despite the increasing emphasis on early Prevention through Design (PtD) education, the extent to which educational elements need to be embedded in tertiary education remains unclear. To address these issues, a scoping review of the literature relate...

Barriers to achieving satisfactory dropped objects safety performance in the UK construction sector (2024)
Journal Article
In 1980 a deadly explosion occurred at a nuclear missile base precipitated by a dropped object. The potential for major catastrophe, an industry call to action and a research gap forms the rationale for this research into dropped objects. The aim of...

Effect of side road junction design enhancements and flows on priority for crossing pedestrians and cyclists (2024)
Journal Article
Enhancements to designs or carriageway markings are increasingly used by engineers to reinforce pedestrians’ and cyclists’ priority when crossing side roads at their junctions with main roads. Yielding behaviour in 13,402 interactions was collected a... Read More about Effect of side road junction design enhancements and flows on priority for crossing pedestrians and cyclists.
