Embargoed Until Friday 29Th May 2020 at 00.00 EMBARGOED UNTIL FRIDAY 29TH MAY 2020 AT 00.00 MEDIA ALERT BBC Local Radio Celebrates Good Deeds and Good Samaritans through Poetry Over 700 000 stories of people offering help and support pouring into BBC Local Radio’s ‘Make A Difference’ service have inspired a powerful collection of poems which launches today. Acts of humanity and compassion such as “the bike donators, the Aunt Betty wash bag makers, the marathon kitchen runners and Oldbury's brave-the- shave police” (FOOTNOTE 1) feature in these poems celebrating the local heroes, Good Samaritans and those whose good deeds and kind hearts are connecting communities together across England. Each of the 39 BBC Local Radio stations across England has commissioned a poet in their area to write a poem inspired by these stories. In turn, their work has sparked a poem for England written by poet and broadcaster of BBC Radio 3’s The Verb, Ian McMillan. Ian McMillan who has also made a film of his poem, “Lockdown Lines” (CLICK HERE) said “what struck me when I read these stories was how moving it is to have this record of ordinary people telling personal stories of these turbulent and terrible times. I’ve tried to reflect that in my poem as well including the idea of the tiny local kindnesses that build and build and really make a difference to how we see ourselves and our future" The BBC Local Poets include the official Derby County Football Club football poet Jamie Thrasivoulou for BBC Radio Derby, the Poet Laureate of Sheffield Otis Mensah, British Ethiopian poet, writer, theatre maker and human rights activist Zelly Lisanework for BBC Radio Suffolk, Trinidad born Gabriella K A Gay who founded Stoke’s roaming poets and BBC Radio Nottingham’s Ben Norris who is a playwright and actor, known for his portrayal of Ben Archer in BBC Radio Four’s The Archers. The project was inspired by BBC Radio WM who asked Birmingham poet Matt Windle to write a poem about how the people of the West Midlands were helping each other. Sarah Harness Editor at BBC Radio WM said: “Matt’s poem, which is called ‘Make A Difference’, really summed up how the people here are pulling together and we thought it would be great to show how those in other parts of the country were responding in similar ways. We hope the collection of 40 poems spearheaded by Ian’s Poem for England - which we are sharing today online, on air and on social-media, will spread a little joy in these challenging times”. The BBC’s Head of Audio and Digital for England Chris Burns said “poetry has an amazing quality to help celebrate, remember and thank those for the many good deeds taking place around the country and how BBC local Radio is at the heart of bringing people in need together with those who can offer help and support. Susannah Herbert of National Poetry Day says: “A shared poem is a powerful act of connection: it tells us we’re not alone. In commissioning BBC Local Poets to celebrate the generosity of their communities in these troubled times, Local Radio stations are beacons of creativity. We hope their listeners are now inspired to send their own poems to their local station in good time for National Poetry Day on October 1." You will be able to hear these poems on BBC Local Radio stations on Friday 29th May and also via the link to the BBC Local Radio station on bbc.co.uk/makeadifference Click here If you have a poem about these extraordinary times, then please upload it to bbc.co.uk/upload Click here For further detail you can contact [email protected] END Notes to Editors • There will be a special edition of the Make A Difference podcast featuring a selection of the poems Click here • FOOTNOTE 1 – Lines are from Matt Windle’s poem which was for BBC Radio WM and called ‘Make A Difference’ Click Here • National Poetry Day is the annual celebration on the first Thursday of October that encourages all to enjoy, discover and share poetry. It brings together communities and encourages schools, libraries, councils and the BBC’s network of stations to put on their own local poetry events across the UK. It is organised by the Forward Arts Foundation, the UK charity that promotes public knowledge and enjoyment of poetry. Learn more at www.nationalpoetryday.co.uk .

  • School Closures Due to Severe Weather Guidance
    SCHOOL CLOSURES DUE TO SEVERE WEATHER GUIDANCE Background The guidance is intended to provide some advice around the circumstances when it is appropriate to close, confirm that responsibility for choosing to close rests with yourselves as head teachers and clarify the procedure for closing. This guidance also includes some of the key HR guidance around attendance at work during periods of very bad weather. Whilst this guidance is mainly aimed at closures due to severe weather it can also be used for other unplanned closures that occur due to unforeseen circumstances. NB: the BBC telephone number for reporting school closures is for use by schools only. It is not a general information line for parents to get school closure information from and should not be given to parents to ring for this purpose as this jams the line and delays schools reporting closures. Decision to close The decision to close a school due to snow or severe weather is the responsibility of the head teacher of the school concerned, in consultation with the chair of governors. The LA can advise and support in this decision but the decision will remain the responsibility of the head. In taking this decision head teachers will want to consider the following: • Health and Safety – will remaining open constitute a significant risk to pupils and/or staff • Availability of staff – has the severe weather meant that a significant number of staff have been unable to attend making it impossible to open Schools should remember that the first priority however should always be to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of staff, pupils, parents and visitors to the site.

  • BOOK BANNED DUE to LURID REVELATIONS Submitted By: Know the Score Books Thursday, 24 May 2007
    BOOK BANNED DUE TO LURID REVELATIONS Submitted by: Know the Score Books Thursday, 24 May 2007 Paul Smith's newly published autobiography, 'WASTED?' has already caused quite a stir. In its first week it has been banned by his former employers, Warwickshire County Cricket Club, due to the lurid details of his career at the club and been the subject of several top notch reviews. The book tells the story of Smith's devil-may-care sporting career which saw him live the high life whilst winning trophies for Warwickshire, then plumb the depths, before emerging a new man, having lost his job, income, family and self respect, to work with inner city youths in the UK and Los Angeles to help them avoid the mistakes he made and avoid lives involving drugs, guns and crime. It is a modern morality tale which speaks to a far wider audience than that which would normally read a sporting autobiography. BRIEF SYNOPSIS 'WASTED?' is the story of how cricketer Paul Smith’s life fell apart after he received a drugs ban in 1997, which effectively ended his career. He was made a scapegoat and still believes he was singled-out while several other, favoured players were allowed to continue their careers. Paul lost his house, his marriage, his children and, of course, his job. How does a man come back from that? In this extraordinary autobiography, Paul Smith (a native of the north east of England) tells the story of the rock star lifestyle of a top cricketer, who produced Man of the Match performances at Lord’s to help Warwickshire to an unprecedented domestic treble of trophies, which set him on the slippery slope to oblivion.

Under the terms of the Communications Act 2003, they became the responsibility of Ofcom on 29 December 2003. The Communications Act allows for the Codes of the legacy regulators to remain in force until such time as Ofcom has developed its own Codes. Ofcom is currently consulting on its new draft Code. This can be found at http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consultations/current/broadcasting_code/ The new Code will be published at the beginning of 2005. The Codes currently in force for programming are: • Advertising and Sponsorship Code (Radio Authority) • News & Current Affairs Code and Programme Code (Radio Authority) • Code on Standards (Broadcasting Standards Commission) • Code on Fairness and Privacy (Broadcasting Standards Commission) • Programme Code (Independent Television Commission) • Code of Programme Sponsorship (Independent Television Commission) The cases have been considered against the above Codes. • Some programmes will have breached the relevant code or been found to be unfair or to have infringed privacy without good reason (Upheld). • Others will not have breached the code or been found to be unfair or to have infringed privacy without good reason (Not upheld). • However, there may be occasions where Ofcom recognises that a broadcaster has taken appropriate action in response to an issue (for instance, the broadcaster may recognise that an error has occurred and taken responsible steps to rectify it).

II ABSTRACT Title: The Evolution of British Asian Radio in England: 1960 – 2004 Author: Gloria Khamkar This doctoral research examines the evolution of British Asian radio in England from 1960 to 2004. During the post-war period an Asian community started migrating to Britain to seek employment as a result of the industrial labour shortage. The BBC and the independent local radio sector tried to cater to this newly arrived migrant community through its radio output either in their mother tongue or in the English language. Later, this Asian community started its own separate radio services. This research project explores this transformation of Asian radio, from broadcasting radio programmes for the Asian community on existing radio stations, to the creation of independent local and community radio stations, catering to the Asian community exclusively in England. Existing research concentrates on the stereotype images and lack of representation of Asian community on the British radio; it lacks a comprehensive overview of the role of radio during the settlement period of the newly migrant Asian community.

  • Diverse on Screen Talent Directory
    BBC Diverse Presenters The BBC is committed to finding and growing diverse onscreen talent across all channels and platforms. We realise that in order to continue making the BBC feel truly diverse, and improve on where we are at the moment, we need to let you know who’s out there. In this document you will find biographies for just some of the hugely talented people the BBC has already been working with and others who have made their mark elsewhere. It’s the responsibility of every person involved in BBC programme making to ask themselves whether what, and who, they are putting on screen reflects the world around them or just one section of society.
