[May 2008] Added: A set of articles by Michael Smull entitled 'Listen, Learn, Act' has been added to the person-centred planning directory page (the broken link to Michael Smull's article 'Positive Rituals and Quality of Life' on that page has also been fixed); an article by Cordelia Fine 'All in the mind' is now listed on the 'General' directory page.

[September 2007] An exciting new search feature has been provided on the search page. The simple search box searches this site as before, but you can also refine the results. The second search box searches the content of all pages linked from this site (importantly including the content of all off-site articles).

[June/July 2007] Judith Snow has submitted seven excellent articles for inclusion on the site (they can be found on the 'on-site' articles page). There's a newly listed article on emergence by Margaret Wheatley and Deborah Frieze at the bottom of the 'change' directory page. I've added links to 'Where the size zero debate goes awry' by Laurie Penny and 'Redefine the Problem' and 'The Compliment that Hurts' by Kelly Bliss to the 'gender' directory page. A whole set of articles around 'intersex' are now listed on the 'other articles' page of the directory.

Accessibility

The site is designed to be as accessible as possible - but it is maintained in my spare time and I have only limited knowledge of web design so faults are inevitable. Constructive advice and assistance will be gratefully received. Note the comment about text size below. Users of screen readers may like to know that most links in the directory of off-site articles open a new window (because they go to a page on another web site). Off-site articles will obviously vary hugely in their accessibility.

Text size

If you find the text hard to read because of its size remember that you should easily be able to increase this. Look for appropriate menu options on your web browser, or try holding down (on your keyboard) the ctrl/apple key and pressing + (or - for smaller).

An 'RSS news feed' is available for the 'News' section of this page.
