“…But the character of the domain is interpersonally negotiated at a microsystemic level. Mayall (1993), whose study concerns the relations between mothers of young children and health visitors in Britain, pointed out that "the acceptance by women of caring as women's work allows them to cross boundaries between the public and private domains and to create and delineate an intermediate domain where acceptance of each other's abilities is recognized and contributions negotiated" (p. 82).…”

The value of a partnership between teachers and parents in the promotion of children's literacy appears self-evident. It symbolizes both the school's accountability to the community it serves and the complementary responsibility of families to support the school's agenda of empowering their children with the tools of civilization. Many parents and teachers across the world perceive, however, that there is something amiss with the relations between them. On the one hand, they share an interest in the literacy development of the same children, and in some sense, they subscribe to an implicit contract to share responsibility for promoting it. Yet, disagreement frequently arises about how this contract is to be executed in practice. In this eclectic review of research, I consider three complementary ways in which the nature of the connection between children's homes and the schools they attend can be problematized, each focusing on a different criterial dimension for evaluating the home-school connection: (a) congruence of family life with the agenda of schooling, (b) intimacy, or depth of understanding, between teachers and parents, and (c) sociocultural productivity of the interaction between the school and its students' home communities.

“…This is problematic because the literature shows that some women, particularly from lower socioeconomic or minority groups, find this nursing surveillance intrusive (Salmond, 1975;Mayall, 1986;Bloor & McIntosh, 1990;Knott & Latter, 1999) and/ or judgemental (Clinton, 1988;Norton, 1990). It is probable that these feelings contribute to the dissatisfaction with or under-utilization of the nursing service, which has been widely shown to be a characteristic of these groups (Fergusson et al, 1981;Briggs & Allen, 1983;Moss et al, 1986;Norton, 1990).…”

“…The gendered and spatial dimensions of health visiting work make it partly invisible (Edwards, 1998; Mayall, 1993). It is largely undertaken by women workers and mediated through mothers who have themselves until recently been largely invisible within policy discourses.…”

From 'public health' to 'safeguarding children': British health visiting in policy, practice and research. AbstractEstablished in the nineteenth century as part of public health work British health visiting has maintained it's unique role in providing universal services to families with young children.Recent policy developments in both safeguarding children and public health have created new opportunities and challenges including an expansion of the safeguarding children gaze and requirements to target services within a framework of universality and with reduced resources. The location and visibility of health visiting in the academy and practice worlds contribute to shaping how the profession is understood providing additional challenges and strengths within an evolving policy context.
