258. ‘The silence is roaring’: sterilization, reproductive rights and women with intellectual disabilities.

Author

Tilley, Elizabeth, Walmsley, Jan, Earle, Sarah, and Atkinson, Dorothy

Abstract

This paper reviews the history of sterilization of women with intellectual disabilities, and considers its relevance to current practice regarding reproductive choice and futures. The paper provides an overview of published research on historical practices, focusing on the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and the Nordic countries. Most of this research draws upon written records, centring on eugenics debates. However, emerging oral history testimonies gathered by the authors suggest that sterilization procedures were also conducted in the community, the result of private negotiations between parents and medical practitioners. The article presents these accounts and calls for an end to a ‘roaring silence’ on this issue. More empirical studies are needed to recover the experiences of women who have been sterilized and to explore how decisions about reproductive choice and capacity were made in the past and continue to be made today.

259. Managing environments

Author

Peace, Sheila, Reynolds, Jill, Henderson, Jeanette, and Atkinson, Dorothy

Abstract

Although a context might be solid - like a building - it has different meanings for the people who use it. The impact of the physical space is the focus for 'Managing environments'. Peace and Reynolds note that any one environment may be multifunctional. Taking an innovative approach to management, they argue that a residential care home, for example, may be simultaneously a place for living for residents, working for staff and managers and visiting for relatives and other professionals. The atmosphere in a care home makes a critical difference to the experience of service users who live there. The authors review how the environmental factors that influence care may be managed and how the careful design and us of space can contribute to improved quality of life in the management of care. Peace and Reynolds also consider relationships between people, places and quality, recognising the impact of the manager on caring environments. A focus on practice here emphasises the role of the manager in drawing out debates over values and best practice to help care workers feel supported and confident about the care they provide.
