    Nottingham Trent University Student Protection Plan UKPRN: 10004797 Legal Address: 50 Shakespeare Street, Nottingham, NG1 4FQ, UK Contact Point for Enquires about this Plan: Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic Development and Performance) Student Protection Plan for 2020/21 academic year: Nottingham Trent University 1. Scope and identification of Risks Introduction: In accordance with the requirements of the Higher Education and Research Act 2017, this plan inform students of what they can expect should a course, campus or institution close. This Student Protection Plan (hereafter “the Plan”) aims to demonstrate that Nottingham Trent University (NTU) has considered how students can continue or complete their studies or be compensated if this is not possible. The University recognises that in the event of a significant course or campus closure it will be expected to work closely with the Office for Students and its own student body to ensure that students’ interests are protected through any such change. Nottingham Trent University is a large, established, high performing and financially stable provider. We would like to reassure both our students and applicants that the risks outlined in this Plan are all very low and in the case of closure extremely low. Examples of risks to which this Plan would apply: • Loss or restriction of University status or its degree awarding powers or its designation for student support or student intake; • Decision to close the institution, a campus or a specialist facility; • Long term disruption to your course

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UDORA - University of Derby Online Research Archive University of Derby The Rise and Demise of the 14-19 Diploma Lynn Senior Doctor of Education August 2015 Abstract The Rise and Demise of the 14-19 Diploma Lynn Senior The introduction of the 14-19 Diploma into the English Qualifications framework was the most developed attempt at creating a vocational qualification which advanced beyond mere job training. The Diploma offered vocational education with occupational capacity, underpinned by functional skills and academic subject content. It was truly the first hybrid qualification that attempted to combine the hitherto separate vocational and academic curricula. This study examines the educational policies that led to the introduction of the Diploma and the reasons behind its ultimate failure and demise. The study comprises two parts. The first is an investigation into the continuing professional development needs that this new initiative created for teachers. This led to the publication in 2010 of a book, The Essential Guide to Teaching 14-19 Diplomas, a description and account of which is presented in this thesis. This book was the first of its kind aimed at supporting teachers working with the Diploma. The key research findings addressed were the need to understand the structure and constituent elements of the Diploma and to provide practical advice on how to deliver effective Initial Advice and Guidance (IAG), Personal Thinking and Learning Skills (PTLS) and Functional Skills. The second part of the study is concerned with the aftermath of the Diploma.

  • King Salmon Derby on the Nushagak Benefiting the Bristol Bay Native Corporation Education Foundation Date: June 24-25, 2018
    King Salmon Derby on the Nushagak Benefiting the Bristol Bay Native Corporation Education Foundation Date: June 24-25, 2018 PRIZE DONATION INFORMATION The Bristol Bay Native Corporation Education Foundation is hosting the first King Salmon Derby on the Nushagak River near Dillingham, AK on Sunday and Monday, June 24 and 25, 2018. This is the signature fundraising event to benefit the BBNC Education Foundation, whose mission is to provide higher education and vocational training scholarships to Bristol Bay Native Corporation shareholders and support for cultural heritage activities in the Bristol Bay Region. Each year, BBNC Education Foundation supports more than 250 students to pursue their educational and vocational training goals. Graduates now serve as lawyers, doctors, teachers, scientists and in a wide range of careers that serve the Bristol Bay region. In addition, the Foundation provides grant funds to Bristol Bay communities to preserve traditional cultural practices through activities like cultural camps and school-based programs. The Neqa Derby will feature for two days of healthy competition on the Nushagak during King Salmon season. The Derby will award three cash prizes, an individual trophy, and a lodge trophy. We anticipate that the primary participants in the inaugural event will be guests in the high-end lodges that dot the Nushagak River and Bristol Bay area. The derby will also be open to the public. The BBNC Education Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization (IRS tax I.D. number 92- 0141709) and all donations are tax exempt. Prize donations are sought for a raffle to be held during the two-day event, and as special prizes for participating anglers.

  • Income, Skills and Deprivation in Leicester and Nottingham
    Institute for Applied Economics and Social Value East Midlands Economic Data Repository Short Report 21-02 Income, Skills and Deprivation in Leicester and Nottingham Data for this report is available at If citing this work please use: Cartwright, E., T. Luong and Al. Orazgani (2021) ‘Income, skills and deprivation in Leicester and Nottingham’. IAESV EMEDR Data Brief 21-02. Introduction In this data brief we provide some background on economic deprivation in Leicester and Nottingham. The data in this report largely pre-dates the coronavirus pandemic and so identifies long-term economic challenges in the respective cities. The coronavirus pandemic will no doubt exasperate these challenges. In the brief we look at: • Measures of deprivation, • Employment and wages, • Skills and type of employment. Key findings • Leicester and Nottingham are two of the most deprived areas in England with high levels of income deprivation and skills deprivation. • In comparison to other cities, Leicester and Nottingham residents earn relatively low salaries and work in relatively low-skilled occupations. • In comparison to other cities, Leicester residents have relatively low levels of qualification. Nottingham is closer to the national average. Definitions We focus on Leicester and Nottingham as defined by the unitary authority boundary. We also focus on people who are resident in the two cities, rather than people who work there. Source of data. We are using data from a range of sources but primarily the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) and the Annual Population Survey (APS), accessed on Nomis. The Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings is based on a snapshot of the workforce in April of each year.

  • Nottingham University
    Case Study Nottingham High-quality infrastructure is an essential component of a modern and successful university. This is not University only achieved by providing an attractive environment in which to work and study. It is also important to maintain leading-edge technology. AEOS fits perfectly in this picture. AEOS can operate different buildings from one central point. The University of Nottingham is renowned for its research innovations. Its system to control access and to secure the facilities no longer reflected its commitment to excellence in the advancement of technology. Over the years, the University acquired several systems for access control, each with their own card technology. Additionally, it had various platforms for its daily operations. Not only was maintaining all these different systems and technologies time-consuming, expensive and complex. It also limited a possible system expansion. Most of all, there was no clear overview of who was authorized to enter the premises and who was not. Time for change! Security Management Facts at a glance 5 Faculties 4 main sites in the UK 2 campuses in Malaysia and China 40,000 students and employees Time for change Rule Engine The University decided that it needed to do The University also concluded to have the extra two things: switch to one single access control AEOS open architecture AEOS functionality Rule Engine.
