We review recent pilot simulations that incorporate feedback from ionising radiation in SPH calculations of star forming clouds. In the case that the ionising radiation source is located within the star forming cloud, the inhomogeneity of the cloud significantly modifies the way that feedback operates compared with spherically symmetric cloud models. Inflow/outflow behaviour develops, combining accretion down dense filaments and thermally driven outflows that can remove many times the binding energy of the parent cloud. If the ionising source is located external to the cloud, we find evidence for triggered star formation but conclude that it is hard to find unambiguous observational signatures that would distinguish “triggered” stars from those created spontaneously.
