  • Appendix B KENT YOUTH SERVICE
    Appendix B KENT YOUTH SERVICE: NEEDS ANALYSIS AND OUTCOMES FRAMEWORK FOR THE COMMISSIONING OF YOUTH WORK PROVISION IN KENT 1. Introduction 1.1 The publication ‘Bold Steps for Kent’ outlines the medium term plan for Kent County Council for the next four years; one of its three aims is to ‘put the citizen in control’: “power and influence must be in the hands of local people and local communities so they are more able to take responsibility for their own community and service needs, such as creating new social enterprise”. In line with this aim, Kent Youth Service is seeking to commission a range of providers to deliver youth work within local communities. This document lays out the intended outcomes for young people and the communities in which they live as a result of this commissioning process. 2. Service Context 2.1 The Education and Inspections Act 2006 (Section 6) places a duty on local authorities to provide for young people aged 13-19 (and up to 24 for those with learning difficulties and/or disabilities) sufficient recreational and educational leisure time activities and facilities for the improvement of young people’s well-being and their personal and social development. 2.2 The focus on the ages 13-19 reflects the fact that these ages are commonly understood to represent a transition period for young people during which the engagement in positive leisure time activities as described in the Education and Inspection Act 2006 can offer significant benefits to young people. The statutory guidance for this duty states that local authorities should be clear that they are able to secure access to positive activities in order to accommodate individuals with early or delayed transitions.

  • Greater Ashford: a Vision in Peril?
    A CPRE Kent report Greater Ashford: a vision in peril? November 2007 2 FOREWORD Ashford, at the heart of a thriving rural area of Kent, has been the focus of much attention since the announcement of the Government’s Sustainable Communities Plan in 2003. It is one of the four ‘Growth Areas’ established by this plan to ease the housing shortages of the South East. CPRE Kent believes that Ashford has the potential to become an exemplar of the way in which we can build truly sustainable communities for the 21st century. However, Five years into the 30-year period that is proposed for Ashford’s transformation we fear that this transformation may be losing its focus. On the face of it, Ashford should be the easiest of the Growth Areas to plan and to deliver: unlike the other areas identified in the Plan, (the Thames Gateway, Milton Keynes/South Midlands and Stansted-Cambridge-Peterborough), it spans only one region, one county and one administrative district. This report details our major concerns regarding the critical balance of infrastructure, jobs and housing. We must push for the creation of a thriving, energetic town, not a commuter dormitory which relies on the job markets of London or beyond. The growth in the number of jobs in Ashford is falling far short of the growth in its homes. Worse still, those jobs that are being created appear to focus heavily on the retail sector, rather than the high-skill, high-value professions that Ashford needs to create a thriving economy. Plans for the new Discovery Centre which was to have been a major deliverable of the development have been abandoned, and we see this as an early symptom of the widening gap between aspiration and achievement.

  • The Country House in English Women's Poetry 1650-1750: Genre, Power and Identity
    The country house in English women's poetry 1650-1750: genre, power and identity Sharon L. Young A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the University’s requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 University of Worcester Abstract The country house in English women’s poetry 1650-1750: power, identity and genre This thesis examines the depiction of the country estate in English women’s poetry, 1650-1750. The poems discussed belong to the country house genre, work with or adapt its conventions and tropes, or belong to what may be categorised as sub-genres of the country house poem. The country house estate was the power base of the early modern world, authorizing social status, validating political power and providing an economic dominance for the ruling elite. This thesis argues that the depiction of the country estate was especially pertinent for a range of female poets. Despite the suggestive scholarship on landscape and place and the emerging field of early modern women’s literary studies and an extensive body of critical work on the country house poem, there have been to date no substantial accounts of the role of the country estate in women’s verse of this period. In response, this thesis has three main aims. Firstly, to map out the contours of women’s country house poetry – taking full account of the chronological scope, thematic and formal diversity of the texts, and the social and geographic range of the poets using the genre. Secondly, to interrogate the formal and thematic characteristics of women’s country house poetry, looking at the appropriation and adaptation of the genre.

  • Tenterden Folk Festival DCMS Enquiry Into the Future of UK Music Festivals
    Written evidence submitted by the Tenterden Folk Day Trust Tenterden Folk Festival DCMS enquiry into the Future of UK Music Festivals INTRODUCTION The Trust Tenterden Folk Day Trust is an independent registered charity formed in May 1994 to preserve and advance public education and appreciation of traditional and contemporary folk music, song, dance and other related traditions, crafts and folk arts as a part of the living heritage. The Trust is supported by Tenterden Town Council, Ashford Borough Council and Kent County Council and an increasing number of local and regional businesses and other community organisations. Musical and heritage policy The emphasis of our musical policy remains very much on traditional English folk music, song and dance. This is complemented by traditional crafts, folklore and traditions. By its very nature traditional folk music develops and changes, so we do not exclude contemporary material in a traditional style or performers who bring in experience of other musical styles or musical influences. We draw many of our guests from South East England, particularly Kent, Surrey and Sussex, and also include many guests well known on the national folk scene. We also feature “overseas” song and dance particularly where this has a connection with the local area through the material or performers. The Trust is affiliated to the English Folk Dance and Song Society and a member of The Ashford Federation of the Arts, The Association of Festival Organisers, Produced in Kent and registered with The Fundraising Regulator. Tenterden Folk Festival The annual Tenterden Folk Festival takes place over the weekend of the first Saturday of October.
