The author begins the article with some thoughts on developing community leadership. A case study of the Burbank community safety initiative is then presented as a pilot for neighbourhood leadership in Hartlepool. The project addresses the process of building the stages of an existing community safety initiative from community involvement through community participation to achieve the benefits of community cohesion. The aim was to build capacity in Burbank to independently address the local issues and to provide a sustainable resource to spread the skills base across Burbank and other communities in Hartlepool.

No single institution can offer adequate protection for people's human rights. All public bodies must incorporate human rights into their procedures if proper protection is to be established. This article examines the arrangements made by Whitehall departments and Parliament to implement the Human Rights Act 1998, and suggests that both Whitehall and Westminster have significantly improved their capacities to secure respect for human rights.

Although evidence-based therapies for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) exist for physically healthy populations, these often do not adequately address PTSD in dying patients. Particularly because these interventions require 8–16 weekly sessions, and the median stay in U.S. hospices is 17.5 days (National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization [NHPCO], 2015), there is a potentially serious timing mismatch. Moreover, these treatments may temporarily increase trauma symptoms (Nishith, Resick, & Griffin, 2002), resulting in some patients dying in greater distress than had they not received care. The Stepwise Psychosocial Palliative Care (SPPC) model presented in this article compensates for these difficulties by embracing a palliative care approach to PTSD. Although it utilises techniques drawn from existing PTSD interventions, these are re-ordered and utilised in a time-responsive, patient-centred manner that takes into account prognosis, fatigue, and logistical concerns. The SPPC approach is further considered with respect to existing social work palliative care competencies (Gwyther et al., 2005) and a case study is used to demonstrate its application.
