  • CEF - Covid-19 Community Group Support Funding September 2020
    CEF - Covid-19 Community Group Support Funding September 2020 Offering financial assistance to local volunteer groups and networks who are responding to and recovering from the Covid-19 crisis. Please note the funding should only be used for such associated costs. Aim of the funding The aim of The CEF Covid-19 community support funding is to provide a ‘community float’. This will enable local voluntary groups to access financial assistance to support their activities that help communities to connect again. How do community networks access the funding? The funding is held by the Community Support Organisations (CSO) to administer on behalf of Selby District Council. The CSO will be responsible for coordinating and supporting a network of local voluntary community groups. Under this agreement the CSO will agree a simple payment system with each group across the CSOs network can access the fund. Each group that receives funding will need to produce proof of expenditure (i.e. receipts/invoices.) What expenditure is eligible? The funding can be used flexibly to enable groups to operate smoothly without financial barriers. How the funding has been used will be reviewed / discussed at each reporting stage but it is reasonable to conclude that this is likely to be: . Volunteer expenses (might be mileage, refreshments) in relation to covid-19 response/recovery activity . PPE (gloves, sanitisers etc) . Cleaning/sanitary equipment/items . Administrative/marketing supplies (printing, stamps, stationary etc) . Equipment to enable delivery of services (i.e. phone credit, games, social distance signage) What is not eligible? . Personal payments or financial assistance of any kind.

  • TADCASTER PARISH REGISTERS Incorporating the Parish Register Transcripts
    TADCASTER PARISH REGISTERS incorporating the Parish Register Transcripts transcribed by C.W. Sellars, M.A., B.Phil. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to acknowledge with gratitude the generosity of the Borthwick Institute of Historical Research in making available to me the documents on which this transcription is based and the assistance and consideration shown to me by its staff during the many years in which I have been working upon it. C.W Sellars TADCASTER PARISH REGISTERS GENERAL INTRODUCTION This transcription of the Tadcaster Parish Registers is taken from the originals which are held in the Borthwick Institute of Historical Research of the University of York. It also incorporates the annual Parish Register Transcripts which were submitted by the incumbent to the Diocese of York: these are also held in the Borthwick Institute. The Registers, which begin in 1570, do not form an unbroken series. The most notable gap is between the first volume of the Registers, which ends in 1624, and the beginning of the second volume which starts in 1653. This suggests that a former second volume (probably from 1624 to 1641) has been lost. After 1653 the entries are relatively continuous. Minor gaps in the series of entries are indicated in the introductions to the separate volumes of the Registers. The first of the Transcripts is dated 1598 but then there is a long gap until 1632 and a second gap between 1641 and 1666. After 1666 there are only a few missing years. Fortunately, there is an almost unbroken series of Transcripts from 1632 to 1641 which goes some way towards filling the gap between the first two volumes of the Registers.

  • Directory of Alternative Education Providers
    DIRECTORY OF ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROVIDERS September 2021 OFFICIAL 1 An Alternative Provision Directory, which offers a list of organisations providing educational placements, who have at least met the minimum standards to be listed, set by North Yorkshire County Council. It is expected that this framework will be used by schools, academies, specialist providers and NYCC specialist teams to source Alternative Education for Children and Young People who are: - At risk of exclusion from school; Excluded from school on a fixed term basis; At risk of disengaging from mainstream education; Require additional support during a negotiated transfer between mainstream schools; Otherwise require Alternative Education provision to meet their educational entitlement, for instance in line with an Education, Health and Care Plan; Looked After Child with no school place. This framework does not remove or amend any of the statutory obligations and duties upon schools /academies in relation to the provision of education or the exclusion of children and young people from school. Any child or young person placed either full or part time in alternative education provision, remains on the roll of that school and responsibility for delivering the full time education and all other duties in respect of that child remain with the school. Specifically, the commissioning school remains responsible for monitoring and tracking the progress of individual children and confirming that the provision is of good quality, value for money and meets the needs of the individual involved. Minimum Standards The NYCC framework of minimum standards expects: Providers to be operating lawfully in accordance with the DfE Alternative Provision Statutory Guidance.

THE YORKSHIRE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY- Founded 1863. Incorporated 1893. RECORD SERIES, Vol. LIX. FOR THE YEAR 191 8. INQUISITIONS POST MORTEM RELATING TO YORKSHIRE, OF THE REIGNS OF HENRY IV AND HENRY V. KDITED BY W. PALEY BAILDON, F.S.A., AND J. W. CLAY, F.S.A. PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY. 1918. PREFACE The present volume contains all the inquisitions post mortem, proofs of age and assignments of dower, relating to Yorkshire, for the reigns of Henry IV and Henry V, that are contained in the Chancery series. That series formerly included also the inquisitions ad quod damnum, which have now been made into a separate class, and are therefore not dealt with here. In view of the very full introduction to Vol. xii of the Record Series, it seems unnecessary to add to this volume any introduction on similar lines. The whole class of Chancery inquisitions post mortem is under arrangement; the documents are now arranged in files numbered from the beginning of each reign. The documents themselves, however, have not so far been renumbered, and still have the old system of numbering, beginning a new serial with each regnal year. It has therefore been thought better not to give the old serial number, in view of a probable renumbering at no distant date.

EDITED BY WILLIAM BROWN, B.A., Member of the Council of the Yorkshire Archaological and Topographical Association. PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY. 1892. : l&L^O ^3 WORKSOP ROBERT WHITE, PRINTER. INTRODUCTION. AMONGST the documents at the Public Record Office, to which the local historian directs his earliest attention, those known under the title of Inquisitiones post mortem occupy the foremost place. To the topographer and the genealogist they are equally valuable. There is hardly a family of any importance between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries whose genealogy may not be confirmed and enlarged by a reference to these most interesting documents. Parochial and local history are also indebted to them for a mass of information unequalled elsewhere. These inquisitions are termed Chancery Inquisitions, because the writ directing them generally issued out of the Court of Chancery. They extend in an almost unbroken series over nearly four and a half centuries, commencing early in the reign of Henry III., and only terminating with the Civil Wars in the seventeenth century, when the feudal system finally broke down, to be abolished by law at the Restoration.
