Deportation threat for jailed attacker
home-based working at breakneck speed, with little opportunity to consider the impact on workers.
“Much has been made about the positive possibilities offered by HBW but there are also concerns around it, including poor work-life balance, enhanced domestic tensions, and disproportionately negative impacts on lower socio-economic groups.
“The current situation, which involves the whole household being based at home for unusually prolonged periods, is an unprecedented challenge that may have to be faced for the foreseeable future.
“This research aims to identify the key challenges which HBW poses for workers and those they live with, and to develop coping strategies.”
The UK-wide Working@ Home research project will involve the team interviewing and tracking a cohort of 60 participants over the next year who are experiencing a new form of HBW, as well as undertaking a large-scale survey.
The project has a dedicated website with the findings and recommendations being shared widely with organisations, businesses, and SME networks across the country.
Professor Marks and the team will work closely with government departments and politicians throughout the project, ensuring that their research plays an important role in shaping guidance on home-based working as the effort against Covid-19 continues.
A VIOLENT man who squeezed his girlfriend’s neck and subjected her to a terrifying hour-long attack may now be deported after a string of convictions for domestic violence.
Waqar Chowdry, 26, has already been deported to Spain twice before, but returned to the
UK because his son, family and friends all live in the north west.
The Spanish national, of Louis Avenue, Bury, has a string of convictions for domestic violence and found himself in the dock for similar offences again on Tuesday. His latest conviction for a ’prolonged and sustained’ attack on his girlfriend may mean that the Home Office takes action to deport him once again, Minshull Street Crown Court heard. Jailing him for 11 months, Judge John Potter told Chowdry: “This was a sustained assault upon a vulnerable victim in her home.”
