To inform Members of the outcome of an independent assessment of the Council’s Strategic School Improvement Programme. Executive summary 2. The Council’s Strategic School Improvement Programme (SSIP) has recently been independently assessed for assurance by an external review team. 3. The key finding from the review is that successful delivery of Band A projects to: time, cost and quality, is highly likely and that there are no major outstanding issues that appear to threaten delivery. Delivery confidence is assessed as GREEN - the highest level of confidence. 4. The review team commented that delivery of the new builds is well managed and that there is an excellent team spirit and a common purpose which is very evident both within the SSIP team and across the wider stakeholder delivery interest. Page 13 5. In terms of the operational structure of the Council’s SSIP, the review team noted that there is a ‘core’ team supported by a much wider ‘virtual’ team of subject matter experts from across the Council’s services. 6. Relationships between partners are positive, including those with the trade unions and with the local communities. 7. As a Tier 1 priority for the Council, funding has been ring-fenced to ensure affordability. 8. The review team commended the Council and SSIP team for demonstrating a willingness to learn and adapt to changing circumstances and to adopt suggestions from others where these are felt to

  • BBC Wales, Management Review, 2009/10
    WALES MANAGEMENT REVIEW 2009/10 a INTRODUCTION FROM DIRECTOR, BBC CYMRU WALES IN A YEAR WHEN DIGITAL SWITCHOVER SWEPT ACROSS THE COUNTRY, THE ROLE OF WALES’ nATIONAL BROADCASTER HAS NEVER BEEN CLEARER. Some said that digital switchover would change everything. By beaming countless additional channels into every home across Wales, some warned it would accelerate the fragmentation of viewing, weakening the social and civic ties that bind us together. And yet take a look at what actually happened. In 2009/10, almost a million viewers – the highest figures for at least five years – tuned into BBC Cymru Wales programming each and every week. On top of this success, our network output continued to attract worldwide attention, including Torchwood’s stunning debut on BBC One and BBC Two’s captivating Last Chance to See. That success is of course a tribute to the skills and resilience of our talented production teams – both in-house and across the independent sector – and many of their achievements are rightly “ THIS YEAR’S SUCCESS IS A POWERFUL REMINDER OF captured in this review. OUR AUDIENCE’S DEMAND FOR HIGH QUALITY AND Our success this year is a powerful reminder that in an age of apparent digital plenty – with all its countless distractions – our audience’s demand for high quality and distinctive national programming DISTINCTIVE NATIONAL PROGRAMMING.” is as strong and robust as ever. MENNA RICHARDS, It is, needless to say, a challenge and responsibility we relish. DIRECTOR, BBC CYMRU WALES Menna Richards COVER IMAGE Director, BBC Cymru Wales Presenter Eddie Butler tells the story of a 5th or early 6th century carved sandstone, part of a trail of historical objects inspired by our History of the World project, and which can be seen at the National Museum Wales in Cardiff.

  • Age Really IS Just a Number!
    Age really IS just a number! Age really IS just a number! Caerphilly is probably best known for its cheese, but a project set up to look at stereotypes of younger and older people has found that people from Caerphilly and across the United Kingdom are really cheesed off with how they are portrayed. Age is Just a Number! is a local campaign in Caerphilly that has attracted interest from across Wales and beyond. The campaign aims to promote better understanding, improve tolerance, and help bridge the generation gap between older and younger people. The campaign uses powerful, positive pictures submitted by Caerphilly residents. The overarching aim of Age is just a number! is to encourage orgnaisations and the Media to use more positive images, which in time it will begin to break down some of the negative stereotypes people have of younger and older people. THE CAMPAIGN The campaign started in 2010 with a photographic competition themed “We are not as bad as you think we are!” to help find a stock of positive images that would challenge current stereotypes of young and old alike. The competition was followed up with questionnaires that attracted over 650 responses from every part of Wales and across the United Kingdom. The results showed that people are very clear in their views on the impact of stereotypes and how they make them feel as individuals. When people were asked whether negative stereotypes influence our perceptions of age and a staggering 95% agreed. Negative stereotypes influence people's opinion of Age 100 80 95 60 40 5 20

  • Newyddion News
    3 August 2010 W100646-Hlth Families learn about alcohol at the Eisteddfod The Chief Medical Officer visits festival to talk to parents and children about the dangers of underage drinking The Chief Medical Officer for Wales, Dr Tony Jewell, is today (Tuesday 3 August) encouraging families visiting the Wales National Eisteddfod to go along to the Welsh Assembly Government stand and learn about alcohol and underage drinking. Parents and children visiting the ‘You, Your Child and Alcohol’ stand today will be able to take part in an interactive game designed to dispel the myths associated with drinking alcohol. They will also be able to put their thoughts about the risks of underage drinking to the camera, which will then be used in promotional activities as well as being sent to schools. Over the past decade, the amount of alcohol consumed by 11-15 year olds in Wales has doubled, and more than 250,000 young people aged 11-16 in Wales have reported being drunk at least twice.* To tackle this growing trend, the Chief Medical Officer’s position statement was published in June, setting out three guiding principles: Children under 15 should not drink alcohol at all; drinking at age 15 and older can be hazardous to health; and if parents use alcohol responsibly, it's more likely their children will too. Newyddion News Dr Jewell, who is visiting the Eisteddfod today, will speak to parents and children about the harms of alcohol, hear what they think about the guidance, and also discuss the benefits of families talking about alcohol with their children from an early age.
