About this book

Through this study we will look at some of the challenges in providing a quality belay. This will include the physical aspects of rope used in rope access and rescue belay systems, the cause and effects of human reaction, and how this interfaces with various equipment. At the conclusion, the author will summarize what he believes to be the broad-based solution in providing the most effective approach for a belay system. Quality belaying is only a piece of the big picture of rope rigging and rescue. It is impossible to study this subject without a solid foundation of the other ingredients that make up the rigging recipe. The most important ingredient is you. Your commitment to personal physical and mental conditioning, daily practice, and continual personal evaluation is the first step in rope access and rescue safety.

Identity and Resistance in Further Education
<p>In recent years, Further Education has reached a crossroads, with questions being asked about its function, aims and focus, as well as querying the role of the FE teacher, the key aspects of the curriculum and which values should inform FE pedagogy. <i>Identity and Resistance in Further Education </i>explores these questions and effectively conveys the sense of uncertainty that those in the field are experiencing today. </p><p>Connecting Higher Education and FE practitioners and researchers, the book gathers a collection of essays covering a range of topics, including: the journey from student to teacher, critical reflective practice as a way of organising identity, values-based teacher education and policy critique. In keeping with the themes of resistance and creativity, the chapters draw on a wide range of theoretical, as well as literary, perspectives to offer answers. Problematising relationships between the teacher and the institution and the teacher and government, the book argues that the profound challenge to teachers' values and identities finds its response in a critical collegiality. </p><p>This book will be of great interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students engaged in the study of further education, educational policy and teacher education. It should also be essential reading for practitioners and policymakers.</p>
