Members' Newsletter Members’ newsletter May 2004 OR SOMEONE WHO IS BLIND and elderly, Christmas can be Fvery difficult. Without sight, reading Christmas cards, putting up the decorations and even buying presents, become real problems. But for a blind person living alone and with their mobility restricted because of age, the biggest problem is isolation and loneliness. 75% of all visually impaired people are aged over 75. In Derbyshire, there is an extraordinary organisation which makes sure that Christmas is not a time when elderly people with little or no sight are left alone. SLAP-UP MEAL Every year, the Derbyshire Association for the Blind arranges a Christmas lunch for over 100 blind and partially sighted people past the first flush of youth. They get the works – a slap-up meal, lots of booze, entertainment, a singsong, a raffle and dancing. WONDERFUL AFTERNOON For one wonderful afternoon, the difficulties of growing old with a visual impairment are forgotten. Lucy Turton (top left) is 86, has very limited sight and lives alone. She says “You forget about everything that afternoon. It is just lovely being with people who understand. It’s one of the best days of the year.” Gail Ashby (top right), a stripling of 46, is totally blind. “You’ve got two choices.

Its vision is to be a world leader in understanding and predicting climate and the co- evolution of society and the environment – integrating physical, chemical, biological, technological, economical, social, and ethical dimensions, and in educating the next generations to deal with the increasing complexity of these issues. CICS is built upon the strengths of Princeton University in biogeochemistry, physical oceanography, paleoclimate, hydrology, ecosystem ecology, climate change mitigation technology, economics, and policy; and GFDL in modeling the atmosphere, oceans, weather and climate.

The academic year opened with the arrival of eleven new Fellows, reducing the average age of the Fellowship, correcting the gender balance, and covering a wide range of College Reports nationalities from Macedonian to Australian. Academic subjects ranged from law through philosophy, theology and English literature to biolog- ical sciences and physics. Regardless of subject and origin, they very soon became part of the community of Trinity Hall, which has always been so inclusive and welcoming. It was also a year for departure, with the retirement of two of our most senior and long-serving Fellows.

  • Creating a New Model of 16-19 Education for Students with SEND
    Creating a new model of 16-19 education for students with SEND Contact: Graham Duncan June 2018 0776 458 6173 [email protected] Web my AFK – New model of 16-19 education for students with SEND v1.0 1 1 Introduction This document has been prepared by my AFK as the basis for discussions with local authorities and other stakeholders in the education of disabled students. my AFK1 is a charity with a successful track record of preparing disabled young people for work. We work with 14-19 year olds to raise their aspirations and improve their work skills. Our employment brokers/job coaches have an excellent record of placing 19-25 year old students into paid employment. We take students from schools and colleges across North London. Based on our experience, we believe that a new paradigm of post-16 education for disabled young people is urgently needed in order to close the “disability employment gap” and to enable them to thrive in later life. my AFK has developed a radical new model of a special school (called here “New School”) for students aged 16-19, focused on preparing students, primarily those with learning disabilities, autism and/or communication/interaction difficulties, for work and for living as independently as possible. Why is it needed? According to the Department for Education’s (‘DfE’) Employer Perspectives Survey 20162: “Work experience is an important facilitator for young people entering, and succeeding, in the workplace.” The DfE’s guidance on 16-19 study programmes3 says: “The overwhelming majority of young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are capable of sustained employment with the right preparation and support.

Your request has been dealt with under the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004. Our response to your request is as follows: 1. Please provide the precise number and list of locations/names of primary and secondary schools in London where air pollution breaches legal limit, according to your most recent data (I believe the same metric has been used across the years, of annual mean limit of 40ug/m3 NO2, but please clarify). If you are able to provide more recent data without breaching the s12 time limit please do. If not, please provide underlying data from May 2018 (see below). Please provide as a spreadsheet with school name, pollution level, and any location information such as borough. This data is available on the London datastore. The most recent available data is from the London Atmospheric Emission Inventory (LAEI) 2016 and was published in April 2019. The data used for the 2018 report is LAEI 2013. Please find attached a list and a summary of all Educational Establishments in London and NO2 levels based on both the LAEI 2013 update and LAEI 2016. The list has been taken from the register of educational establishments in England and Wales, maintained by the Department for Education, and provides information on establishments providing compulsory, higher and further education. It was downloaded on 21/03/2019, just before the release of the LAEI 2016. The attached spreadsheet has recently been published as part of the LAEI 2016 stats on Datastore here.
