83 5 Declaring independence The long main street of Totnes in Devon springs from Old Market, with its fine views across the Dart Valley. Dropping swiftly past Rotherfold, where the bulls used to be penned on market days, it eases the casual visitor past Drift record store, Social Fabric knitting shop, Sacks Wholefoods, The Happy Apple, the colonnaded Butterwalks, and a succession of gift shops, fashion shops, coffee shops and trinket shops. If you can shun the temptations of the pubs along the way, from the Bay Horse to the Royal Seven Stars Hotel, you
As noted in previous chapters, recent changes in the government–VCS relationship have ignited yet another round of debates about the sector’s independence, its distinctiveness vis-à-vis other sectors, and its relationship with the state (Acheson, 2013 ; Panel on the Independence of the Voluntary Sector, 2014 ; Ketola and Hughes, 2016 ).

The second half of

Fuller QUASI·INDEPENDENCE AND THE MOVER-STAYER MODEL A large number of authors have commented on the so-called 'constancy of swing' over constituencies in Britain. A more precise description of the situation is that swing is largely independent of constituency partisanship, a proposition which is well-supported by such empirical evidence as that of Kendall.1 This empirical fact has of course been used for two decades in election night forecasting, using
71 FIVE Maintaining dignity and independence Liz Lloyd, Michael Calnan, Ailsa Cameron, Jane Seymour, Randall Smith and Kate White Introduction The perspectives of older people on dignity in care have been largely overlooked in British policies, and the tendency has been to look at ways in which care providers should ‘deliver dignity’ by reference to agreed standards. For example, the Dignity Challenge developed in 2006 identified 10 dignity tests against which services could be evaluated (Cass et al, 2009). In this project, the research team took the view
