New Members and Movers Welcome to Michael Hurlow at Durham City 3 Branch meeting in Penrith The September Branch Committee affairs and meet members from other meeting was held on 12th September parts of the region. An excellent site 2008 in the Mansion House at visit was included and members had Penrith. The meeting was hosted by an opportunity to visit the impressive members from Cumbria who had an Blencow Hall near Greystoke in the opportunity to contribute to branch Eden Valley. Blencow Hall photo supplied by Mike Hein-Hartmann IHBC FIRST BRANCH CONNECTIONS DAY 19th NOVEMBER 2008 BIRMINGHAM by Ken Hutchinson This meeting was arranged, as part of the Institute’s activities and in line with the corporate business plan, to kick starts a programme of support for branches from the national office. The meeting was targeted at IHBC members who were not the branch representative who attends council. I volunteered to attend and like the majority of others it was the first time most of us had met the Institute’s senior officers and staff. Those present included Dave Chetwyn (chair), Shelia Stones (vice chair), 4 Sean O Reilly (Director), Fiona Newton (Projects Officer), Devon DeCelles (Membership Services Officer) and Lydia Porter (Administration Officer). All branches were represented and after a welcome by the Chairman and a background talk on the work of the institute by the Director we broke into three groups to discuss what the branches currently did and wanted to do for their members. Some provided a lot of regular CPD events, some combined these with committee meetings open to all, some struggled to provide any and some had received some administration assistance from HQ. As in the north, many branches has geographical problems with north south or east west splits with events concentrated in one area with the occasional get together in a central location. Many also had the problem of lone professionals working in isolation and everyone agreed that each branch relied upon a small number of committed volunteers who ran everything in the branch and that the same faces tended to turn up at all the events. Shelia Stones chaired the feedback session and a number of other points were made: - need to celebrate success - share best practice with others - provide help to new volunteers on organising events or roles of officers e.g. treasurer - encourage employers to support staff e.g. time for CPD - better electronic contact between members to share information After a welcome buffet lunch and more networking the afternoon session examined ways in which staff at the national office can help branches. The Director stressed that although they would like to help in a lot of ways the resource available amounted to only 3.5 staff and a realistic approach must be adopted and the majority of work must still fall on the trusted band of volunteers. As well as servicing the day to day needs of the IHBC and organising Committees and summer school and other events staff can provide some assistance with administration, give advice to branch officers and share information and best practice. The Director saw the role of central office as that of offering a franchise giving help and advice rather than telling the branches what to do, as all branches were different and each had different needs. The recent on-line blog is an example of trying to update members as quickly as possible and video conferencing is also being looked at. On the subject of recruitment some concerns were expressed that potential members were put off by the full membership form. The Director advised that a lot of work had been undertaken recently on recruitment and he urged as many people as possible to apply for associate membership in the first instance and take advantage of the many of the benefits before progressing to full membership at a later date. The form is currently being revised and there is a proposal to 5 introduce mentors to assist future applicants, hopefully this will be resolved early in the New Year. To conclude all branches were offered the opportunity to raise any outstanding matters and most delegates confirmed that it had been a useful experience and that most branches had very similar experiences and problems. The meeting closed at 3.10 pm to allow people to catch trains back home. Following the Branch Connections Day national office and officers have prepared a consultation paper which includes descriptions of generic roles and duties of officers working in branches to address some of the points raised during the above meeting. The consultation period expires at the end of February 2009. Further details can be found on the IHBC website. The recommendations include setting up a network of area representatives within each branch to ensure all parts of the region are represented. The Committee agree that this is a good idea and are looking for volunteers to act as area reps. If anyone is interested in acting as rep. in your local area (you do not have to be on the Committee) please put your name forward to any Committee member. Tour of Birmingham’s Heritage Buildings – by Ken Hutchinson Having had to catch the 6.19 am train from Newcastle and as I had not been to Birmingham for 34 years I decided to treat myself to an overnight stay rather than returning on the same day. After visiting the local Tourist Information office and German Christmas Market I watched England beat Germany in my hotel room. The next day I planned my route to visit as many heritage buildings I could from the excellent Birmingham Civic Society guide (see image below). I started at the Bullring markets (originally dating from1160) and Visited St Martin’s Church 1875 but dating from the 12th century (recently featured in Context July 2008). I passed through the impressive Selfridges Store and Bullring shopping centre to visit St Philip’s Cathedral (1715), opposite the Old Joint Stock (1864), the pub and theatre venue where we held the IHBC meeting. 6 I walked along Corporation Street to see the impressive Victoria Law Courts and not so impressive clients hanging about outside.

  • Ladywood District Jobs and Skills Plan 2015 Overview of Ladywood District1
    Ladywood Jobs and Skills Plan Ladywood District Jobs and Skills Plan 2015 Overview of Ladywood District1 Ladywood District covers the majority of the city centre, along with inner city areas to the north and east. It is composed of 4 wards – Aston, Ladywood, Nechells and Soho. Much of the district experiences some very challenging conditions in terms of labour market status, with very high levels of unemployment. But this contrasts with the city centre area – the east of Ladywood ward, and the south-west of Nechells ward – where unemployment and deprivation levels are low. Ladywood has a younger age profile to the city centre with a higher proportion of under 40s and fewer over 45s. Overall the proportion of working age adults (70%) is well above the city average (64%). The proportion rises to 84% in Ladywood ward, but is close to the city average in the other 3 wards. There are 23,828 residents aged 18-24 equating to 19% of the population, compared to 12 % for Birmingham, driven at least in part by large numbers of students. The ethnic profile of the working age population in the district differs to that of the city, with a much lower proportion of white working age residents (32%) compared to the city average (59%). But this masks ward variations, with the proportion only 15% in Aston, 23% in Soho and 31% in Nechells wards, but much closer to the city average at 52% in Ladywood ward. Overall, the largest non-white groups are Pakistani (13%) and Black Caribbean (9%). The Pakistani group forms 20% of the population in Aston and 16% in Nechells and Soho wards ,but only 3% in Ladywood ward.

  • Birmingham Jewellery Quarter Heritage Trail
    BIRMINGHAM JEWELLERY QUARTER HERITAGE TRAIL 11 BROUGHT TO YOU BY BIRMINGHAM JEWELLERY QUARTER HERITAGE TRAIL Birmingham’s famous Jewellery Quarter is completely unique - there is no other historic townscape like it in the world. It is an area rich in heritage, but what makes it so special is that it is still also a living, working community. The purpose of this walking trail is to provide an introduction to the Quarter’s past and present, and to encourage visitors to discover more about this fascinating area. This trail is printed and distributed by the Jewellery Quarter Development Trust (JQDT). The development of the Jewellery Quarter. Goldsmiths and silversmiths have been working in what we now call the Jewellery Quarter for more than 200 years. Originally scattered across Birmingham, they began to congregate in the Hockley area from 1760 onwards. The main reason for this was the development of the Colmore family’s Newhall estate which released more land for housing and manufacturing. 1 Precious metal working grew out of the ‘toy’ trades – not children’s playthings but buckles, buttons and other small metal trinkets. ‘Brummagem toys’ were produced in their hundreds and thousands, in cut-steel, brass and silver. Westley’s Map of Birmingham, 1731 - Confusingly north is to the right! As the trade expanded new streets were laid out across former rural estates, and substantial new houses were built for wealthy manufacturers. Alongside these large houses, terraces of artisans’ homes were also constructed. In time the gardens of these houses became built up with workshops and spare rooms had work benches installed.

This booklet has been put together for all young people who have a statement of special educational needs (SEN) or Education Health and Care (EHC) Plan to help them through Post16 transition. It includes information about Post 16 educational settings in Birmingham and about how to express a preference for the placements that they wish to attend. On 1 September 2014 a new system of assessing and making educational provision for students with special educational needs was introduced. To transfer a student from a statement to an EHC Plan involves a “transfer review”. This requires us, the LA, to complete an EHC needs assessment. This will involve three steps: • Step 1 – a transfer review meeting • Step 2 – your son/daughter will receive a draft EHC Plan • Step 3 – the final EHC Plan will be issued Student transferring to Year group Term for EHC Legal deadline for EHC Plan Review Meeting EHC Plan to be transferred In year 11, transfer from Year 11 Within the first half term 31 March 2018 school to a school sixth in Autumn 2017 form, post 16 provider or apprenticeship KS5 – year 13 and 14, Year 13/14 Within the first half term 31 March 2018 transfers to post 16 provider in Autumn 2017 or apprenticeship Leaving Youth Custody Year 13 and under On release 20 weeks from start of the process.

For this reason, Landmark's Site Sensitivity maps and Datasheet(s) place great emphasis on statutory data provided by the Environment Agency and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency; it also incorporates data from Natural England (and the Scottish and Welsh equivalents) and Local Authorities; and highlights hydrogeological features required by environmental and geotechnical consultants. It does not include any information concerning past uses of land. The datasheet is produced by querying the Landmark database to a distance defined by the client from a site boundary provided by the client. In the attached datasheet the National Grid References (NGRs) are rounded to the nearest 10m in accordance with Landmark's agreements with a number of Data Suppliers.

  • Bells in and Around Birmingham: a Survey and History
    BELLS IN AND AROUND BIRMINGHAM: A SURVEY AND HISTORY (PART 1: PREFACE, EXPLANATORY NOTES, INTRODUCTION, LOCATIONS A-E) Chris Pickford Version date: 29/09/2020 Preface Not long after I took up ringing in 1966 I began collecting information on the bells in Worcestershire (where I was at boarding school) and Warwickshire (where my parents lived). I date my first ‘serious’ visits to April 1968 since when I have been working intermittently on comprehensive surveys of bells in the two counties. The prospect of tackling a large urban area like Birmingham was always a rather daunting one and for a long time I skirted round it. However, when I took on the role of Bells Adviser to the Birmingham Diocesan Advisory Committee in 1987 I decided to pick up the challenge and during the course of the next couple of years managed to visit nearly every belfry in the area. The work originally led to the creation of a Diocesan Inventory (rather in the format of the present National Bells Register) and the updating of the Council for the Care of Churches’ preservation list for the Diocese. I stepped down as Bells Adviser in 1998 but in 2003-4 - following a return to the Midlands - I did some further survey work and wrote up the entire work in its present form. Since then I have tried to keep it up to date as best I can. I never intended this to be a book - and long ago gave up talking of books to replace Walters’s books on the Church Bells of Warwickshire (1910) Church Bells of Worcestershire (1925-31) - as this sort of study is too specialised (and too detailed in this form) for traditional publication.
