Featherstone Ward InstantAtlas™ Server 6 Wakefield Ward Profile Selection: Featherstone Ward Introduction The Wakefield district is divided into 21 wards, with each ward being represented by three councillors. Councillors are elected by residents of the district and are responsible for making decisions about local services and budgets, such as Council Tax, on behalf of the local community. Each councillor serves for a period of four years. The ward boundaries are reviewed periodically, and the current boundaries were last altered in 2004. Featherstone Ward is situated in the centre of the District and contains the town of Featherstone and the settlements of Purston Jaglin, North Featherstone, Sharlston, Streethouse and Ackton. The northern edge of the ward is bounded by the M62 motorway. Selected landmarks: Purston Park The Big Fellas Stadium, home of Featherstone Rovers RLFC Featherstone sculpture wall Profile created: 9/1/2017 Population Profile Population Size The most accurate population estimates are produced every ten years from the Census. These are updated annually using administrative data to produce mid- year population estimates. The mid-2014 estimates show that the size of the resident population in Featherstone Ward is 16,899 people. The tables below shows the percentage breakdown by age groups and gender. The actual number of people in each age group is shown in brackets.

In 2001, the district's ethnic population represented just 3.3% of the total population, but the 2011 Census shows this has risen to 7.2%. This proportion, though, is much lower than the England average of 20.2%. A large part of the district increase in the ethnic minority population has been due to immigration from Eastern Europe, particularly from Poland. There has also been continued immigration from South Asia, and a small but growing number of people immigrating from Africa. The ethnic mix for this area is shown in the table below.

The English Indices of Deprivation are the most detailed and frequently used measure of deprivation. The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) is calculated for every neighbourhood in England every three years, and it combines many variables, grouped into seven themes: Income Employment Health deprivation and disability Education, skills and training Barriers to housing and services Crime Living environment The IMD 2015 shows that conditions have worsened for some of the district’s most deprived areas relative to deprivation elsewhere in England.

It analyses how policy and practice has developed, and articulates the need for an alternative approach. It draws from the social model as applied in the fields of disability and mental health, to begin to sketch out more hopeful and progressive possibilities for children, families and communities. The social model specifically draws attention to the economic, environmental and cultural barriers faced by people with differing levels of (dis)ability, but has not been used to think about ‘child protection’, an area of work in England that is dominated by a focus on risk and risk aversion. This area has paid limited attention to the barriers to ensuring children and young people are cared for safely within families and communities, and the social determinants of much of the harms they experience have not been recognised because of the focus on individualised risk factors. key words child protection • risk • parenting • social model Introduction In this article we argue that it is time to question a child protection project that colludes with a view that the greatest threats to children’s safety and wellbeing are posed by their parents or carers’ intentional negligence or abuse.

I must thank Dr. Alain Saint-Saens for his generous encouragement and advice concerning not only graduate work but the historian's profession in general; also Dr. Joseph Byrnes for so kindly serving on my committee at such short notice. To Dr. Ron Petrin I extend my heartfelt appreciation for his unflagging concern for my academic progress; our relationship has been especially rewarding on both an academic and personal level. In particular I would like to thank my friend and mentor, Dr. Paul Bischoff who has guided my explorations of the medieval world and its denizens. His dogged--and occasionally successful--efforts to develop my skills are directly responsible for whatever small progress I may have made as an historian. To my friends and fellow teaching assistants I extend warmest thanks for making the past two years so enjoyable. For the many hours of comradeship and mutual sympathy over the trials and tribulations of life as a teaching assistant I thank Wendy Gunderson, Sandy Unruh, Deidre Myers, Russ Overton, Peter Kraemer, and Kelly McDaniels.

  • Wakefield Metropolitan District Council Home to School Transport
    WAKEFIELD METROPOLITAN DISTRICT COUNCIL HOME TO SCHOOL TRANSPORT POST 16 TRANSPORT POLICY 2018/2019 eport on: Transport policy statement for learners aged 16-18 in further education and training and continuing learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities aged 19 and over ACADEMIC YEAR: 2018/2019 1 1. SUMMARY OF POLICY STATEMENT AND MAIN OBJECTIVES 1.1 There is no automatic entitlement to free home to school or college transport once a student is over 16 years. Responsibility for making appropriate transport arrangements rests with a student and/or parents/carers. 1.2 Providing assisted transport (e.g. taxis, specially adapted vehicles) will only be provided in exceptional circumstances. 1.3 Wakefield Council is committed to ensuring that every child and young person can fulfil their potential. The aim of this policy is that all children and young people with an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) should lead lives that are as independent and as free from restriction as possible and that each child and young person is supported to achieve independent travel wherever practicable. 1.4 This policy explains the entitlement to travel assistance for children and young people post 16. Wakefield Council’s policies on travel to and from school and other establishments for statutory aged pupils and statutory aged pupils with special educational needs are available separately. 1.5 The main objective of the Wakefield Transport Partnership is to provide accessibility to education or training as a means of promoting learning, training, social inclusion, choice and diversity of learning provision. The central principal is that no learner should be prevented from taking part in full-time education (not less than 12 guided learning hours per week) or training because of the lack of support travelling to an education or training or learning provision or where appropriate, an independent specialist institution.

  • Road Safety and Evaluation
    Evaluating the Effectiveness of Vehicle Activated Signs in the Wakefield District 1. Introduction Vehicle Activated Signs (VAS) in this study are the signs that illuminate a road safety message, accompanied with flashing amber lights, when activated by a vehicle travelling above a pre-set speed. They can be used to warn drivers that they are travelling too fast, to warn of a hazard (such as a bend), approaching a traffic- calmed area, or a school frontage. VAS Sign – 30 – SLOW DOWN VAS Sign - bend warning – SLOW DOWN Wakefield‘s criteria for installing permanent VAS was determined in the late 1990’s when VAS were first installed in the District. As the main purpose of the signs was to warn drivers to slow down to reduce the likelihood of potential accidents, it was felt that sites should be initially selected where the measured 85th percentile traffic speed was around 10mph or more higher than the speed limit of the road, generally on A or B class roads. Within Wakefield District, VAS have been installed at approaching 100 permanent locations over the past 10 years. Appropriate illuminated messages have been used for different circumstances. For example, the early VAS installations had a simple “Slow Down” message or a “30” speed limit roundel, which has developed over the years by combining both with a “School Slow Down” message and displaying typical warning signs such as children crossing the road, sharp bends and cross-roads. 1 of 17 Locations of VAS within Wakefield District More recently a new type of VAS sign has been used at one location within in the District – the Driver Feedback Sign (DFS) supplied by 3M UK plc.

  • Drink and the Victorians
    DRINK AND THE VICTORIANS A HISTORY OF THE BRITISH TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT PAGING NOTE: Pamphlets, journals, and periodicals are paged using the number of the item on the list below, and the call number 71-03051. Books are cataloged individually – get author/title info below, and search SearchWorks for online record and call number. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE This collection has been formed by the amalgamation of two smaller but important collections. The larger part, probably about three-quarters of the whole, was formed by William Hoyle of Claremont, Bury, near Manchester. The other part was formerly in the Joseph Livesey Library, Sheffield, and many of the pamphlets carry that library stamp. The catalogue has three main elements: pamphlets and tracts; books, including a section of contemporary biography; and newspapers, journals and conference reports. There are around 1400 separately published pamphlets and tracts but a series of tracts, or part of a series, has usually been catalogued as one item. The Hoyle collection of pamphlets, is bound in 24 volumes, mostly half black roan, many with his ownership stamp. All the pieces from the Joseph Livesey Library are disbound; so that any item described as "disbound" may be assumed to be from the Livesey collection and all the others, for which a volume and item number are given, from Hoyle's bound collection. INTRODUCTION By Brian Harrison Fellow and Tutor in Modern History and Politics, Corpus Christi College, Oxford. Anyone keen to understand the Victorians can hardly do better than devour Joseph Livesey's Staunch Teetotaler (458) or J.G. Shaw's Life of William Gregson.
