Essentials of Intensive Intervention
Author: Rebecca Zumeta Edmonds
Publisher: Guilford Publications
ISBN: 1462539297
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Few evidence-based resources exist for supporting elementary and secondary students who require intensive intervention--typically Tier 3 within a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS). Filling a gap in the field, this book brings together leading experts to present data-based individualization (DBI), a systematic approach to providing intensive intervention which is applicable to reading, math, and behavior. Key components of the DBI process are explained in detail, including screening, progress monitoring, and the use and ongoing adaptation of validated interventions. The book also addresses ways to ensure successful, sustained implementation and provides application exercises and FAQs. Readers are guided to access and utilize numerous free online DBI resources--tool charts, planning materials, sample activities, downloadable forms, and more.

Field Trials of Health Interventions
Author: Peter G. Smith
Publisher:
ISBN: 0198732864
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 479
Book Description
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Before new interventions are released into disease control programmes, it is essential that they are carefully evaluated in field trials'. These may be complex and expensive undertakings, requiring the follow-up of hundreds, or thousands, of individuals, often for long periods. Descriptions of the detailed procedures and methods used in the trials that have been conducted have rarely been published. A consequence of this, individuals planning such trials have few guidelines available and little access to knowledge accumulated previously, other than their own. In this manual, practical issues in trial design and conduct are discussed fully and in sufficient detail, that Field Trials of Health Interventions may be used as a toolbox' by field investigators. It has been compiled by an international group of over 30 authors with direct experience in the design, conduct, and analysis of field trials in low and middle income countries and is based on their accumulated knowledge and experience. Available as an open access book via Oxford Medicine Online, this new edition is a comprehensive revision, incorporating the new developments that have taken place in recent years with respect to trials, including seven new chapters on subjects ranging from trial governance, and preliminary studies to pilot testing.

A new approach to financial regulation
Author: Great Britain. Treasury
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780101826822
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
This document accompanies the introduction into Parliament of the Financial Services Bill (HC Bill 278, session 2010-12, ISBN 9780215039545 and Explanatory notes Bill 278-EN, ISBN 9780215039132) and explains the Government's final proposals to reform the failed system of financial services regulation. These proposals follow on from extensive consultation, and a draft of the Bill was subject to pre-legislative scrutiny by a Joint Committee (report published as HL Paper 236/HC 1447, ISBN 9780108474064). This document details the main changes the Government is making to the Bill. Chapters cover: Bank of England and Financial Policy Committee; Prudential Regulation Authority; Financial Conduct Authority; regulatory processes and coordination; European and international regulation. Annexes include the Government's responses to the Joint Committee and to the Treasury Committee's inquiries into financial services regulation. The core proposals are: to establish a strong and expert macro-prudential authority, the Financial Policy Committee within the Bank of England to monitor and respond to systemic risks; to transfer responsibility for micro-prudential management of firms that manage complex risks on their balance sheets to a focused new regulator, the Prudential Regulatory Authority; and to provide for a focused new conduct of business regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority, to ensure that business across financial services and markets is conducted in a way that advances the interests of all users and participants. In any future crisis it will be clear that the Chancellor of the Exchequer is in charge. Regulation of consumer credit will be brought within the remit of the Financial Conduct Authority.

The Foundations and Future of Financial Regulation
Author: Mads Andenas
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135043361
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
Financial regulation has entered into a new era, as many foundational economic theories and policies supporting the existing infrastructure have been and are being questioned following the financial crisis. Goodhart et al’s seminal monograph "Financial Regulation: Why, How and Where Now?" (Routledge:1998) took stock of the extent of financial innovation and the maturity of the financial services industry at that time, and mapped out a new regulatory roadmap. This book offers a timely exploration of the "Why, How and Where Now" of financial regulation in the aftermath of the crisis in order to map out the future trajectory of financial regulation in an age where financial stability is being emphasised as a key regulatory objective. The book is split into four sections: the objectives and regulatory landscape of financial regulation; the regulatory regime for investor protection; the regulatory regime for financial institutional safety and soundness; and macro-prudential regulation. The discussion ranges from theoretical and policy perspectives to comprehensive and critical consideration of financial regulation in the specifics. The focus of the book is on the substantive regulation of the UK and the EU, as critical examination is made of the unravelling and the future of financial regulation with comparative insights offered where relevant especially from the US. Running throughout the book is consideration of the relationship between financial regulation, financial stability and the responsibility of various actors in governance. This book offers an important contribution to continuing reflections on the role of financial regulation, market discipline and corporate responsibility in the financial sector, and upon the roles of regulatory authorities, markets and firms in ensuring the financial health and security of all in the future.

A new approach to financial regulation
Author: Great BritainH.M. Treasury
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780101808323
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 414
Book Description
This white paper and draft Bill present more detailed proposals for financial regulation reform following on from the consultation paper 'A new approach to financial regulation: judgment, focus and stability' (July 2010, Cm. 7874, ISBN 9780101787420); 'A new approach to financial regulation: building a stronger system' (May 2011, Cm. 8012, ISBN 9780101801225) and continuing policy development by the Treasury, Bank of England and Financial Services Authority. Responsibility for financial stability will rest within the Bank of England, in a new macroprudential body, the Financial Policy Committee, and a new micro-prudential supervisor, the Prudential Regulation Authority. Responsibility for conduct of business will sit with the new Financial Conduct Authority, with the mandate and tools to be a proactive force for enabling the right outcomes for consumers and market participants, including through the promotion of competition. Final responsibility for the overall regulatory framework, and the protection of the public finances remains with the Treasury, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. An Independent Commission on Banking has also been established to consider what steps should be taken to deal with systemically important banks, alongside the question of whether and how competition in the banking sector should be improved. The Commission proposes: that the most systemically important banks hold additional capital to the Basel III minimum, to make them better at absorbing losses and less likely to fail; 'bail-in' instead of bail-out - so that private investors, not taxpayers, bear the losses if things do go wrong; and putting a ring-fence around high street banking to make it safer and to make it easier to allow a bank to fail without disrupting crucial banking services.

Strategies of Financial Regulation
Author: Junghoon Kim
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811573298
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
This book analyses different strategies and their results in implementing financial regulation in terms of rule-making, public enforcement and private enforcement. The analysis is based on a comparative study of conduct of business regulation on mis-selling of financial instruments in the UK and South Korea. It extends into liquidity regulation in the banking sector and credit rating agency regulation. The book concludes that in rule-making, purposive rules are more effective for achieving regulatory goals with minimal undesirable results, but a rule-making system with purposive rules can only work on a foundation of trust among rule-makers, enforcers and the regulates, that with respect to public enforcement, the enforcement strategies should combine the compliance-oriented and deterrence-oriented approaches and be continuously adjusted based on close monitoring of the regulatory outcomes and that in private enforcement, regulation should be instituted as the minimum requirement in private law.

Book Description
This Treasury Committee report into the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) contains a number of recommendations for the Government's consideration ahead of the drafting and publication of the Financial Services Bill early in 2012. Among the recommendations are: (a) that the Government should legislate to give the FCA a primary objective to promote effective competition for the benefit of the consumer (in line with the thinking of the Independent Commission on Banking and the Office of Fair Trading); (b) the Government must put competition at the heart of the new regulatory framework; (c) that the FCA develops far more reliable estimates, in collaboration with the industry, of its own cost effectiveness; (d) that the Government differentiates between retail and wholesale consumers; (e) that both the FCA and the financial services industry make better efforts to communicate with each other; (f) that the current legislative proposals be revised to ensure that the FCA is properly accountable to Parliament and that tools are available to enable the required level of explanation from the regulator.
