  • Dear Parents/Carers a Message in Support of West Midlands Police. Police and Schools in the City Are Committed to Working Togeth
    Langley Walk, Birmingham B15 2EF t: 0121 647 2760 e: [email protected] www.city-birmingham.academy Headteacher: Andy Brant BSC Dear Parents/Carers A message in support of West Midlands Police. Police and schools in the city are committed to working together to protect our young people from becoming victims of knife and weapons crime. We use a range of tactics including educational inputs and in-school searches to ensure that students are well- informed about the consequences of carrying weapons, and identify those that continue to do so. It is important that the police, schools and families work together to protect young people. To do this, parents must be aware of the warning signs and talk to children about carrying weapons. The consequences of being found in possession of a knife are serious and long lasting, affecting education, employment and travel opportunities, but most crucially, life. Some young people carry weapons because they feel it will provide protection or increase the respect they are given by their friends, but the sad fact is that they are more likely to become victims of serious violence. Parents should also be aware that girls sometimes carry or store weapons for their boyfriends or other male friends because they believe they are less likely to be stopped by the police. Their reasons are often misguided loyalty or love, but it is still a crime if they are caught carrying a knife or other weapon. WARNING SIGNS These signs don’t always mean the worst is happening and could just be normal teenage behaviour: 1.

    LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England.

  • George Bodington 1799-1882
    Dr George Bodington 1799-1882 A Victorian physician ahead of his times Pioneer in treating Tuberculosis Provided humane and positive care for those with Mental Illness Twice Warden of Sutton Coldfield Andrew MacFarlane Chapter One INTRODUCTION Overview TB is one of the worst of all diseases to have afflicted humanity. At least 20% of the English population died after contracting TB in the early Nineteenth Century. Very few sufferers expected anything but a hopeless decline. Although the disease was known from prehistoric times, the accepted medical treatments, developed over many hundreds of years, were harsh, unpleasant and rarely successful. They also weakened the bodily strength needed to resist its advances (1) In 1840, George Bodington, a relatively unknown general practitioner from Sutton Coldfield, startled the medical world by publishing an Essay claiming dramatic success in treating patients with TB. He described methods that differed sharply from conventional treatments. Today, Bodington’s Essay has a very special mention in the history of medicine. He was the first recorded physician to use the “fresh air” or “sanatorium method” to treat TB patients. At the time, most critics greeted Bodington’s Essay with scorn. He was so stunned by harsh and humiliating reviews that he eventually gave up treating patients with TB and also retreated from general medical practice. In later life, he did gain some satisfaction from knowing that his ideas and treatment strategies for combatting TB were being accepted and practised. By the 1860s, other pioneering physicians began to adopt the “sanatorium” method, which became the accepted means of treating patients with TB, until the discovery of antibiotics.
