Foreword This Chronicle Commenced Sunday, February
‘Festina Lente’ (Be Quick Without Impetuosity) Foreword This chronicle commenced Sunday, February 15th, 1998. The time is 7 PM in the evening. I, Norman John Bury, of 8 Saunders Street Westall, Clayton South, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, have decided that it is now time to make a serious commitment to begin this challenging task, so that future generations can have access to records in some traceable form of the past movements and whereabouts of our ancestors, for the sake of our immediate families, and for all generations to come. This chronicle will be continually updated as often as practible and the latest is Wednesday, June 18th, 2003, with information gathered since the above starting point. My wife Beverley (nee Doutch), and our two sons Peter John Bury, and Mark David Bury, need first to be recorded, and their families also. Peter John Bury, wife Lynnette Anne Bury (nee Bannon), son Aron John, and daughter Naomi Anne. Mark David Bury, wife Danita Anne Bury (nee Ozinger), daughters Carly Anne, and Amber Lucy. Their timelines and genealogical information are enclosed as an appendix to this work. Since the passing of my own father (John (Jack) Bury, and his father before him, (my grandfather, John William Bury), the subsequent discovery and sorting of private documents has provided information previously unavailable to us, as most of the knowledge that is needed to weave to-gether those threads from the past has gone to rest with their passing. By contacting the Lancashire Family History and Heraldry Society, and the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, we have discovered my grandfather’s brother, Esau Bury, who was at first thought to be the older brother of five children.

Lancashire Behaviour Support Tool
Lancashire Behaviour Support Tool Introduction Lancashire is committed to achieving excellent outcomes for its children and young people. Our aim for all our young people is for them to have the best possible start in life so that all have the opportunity to fulfill their learning potential. Schools and other settings should be safe and orderly places where all children and young people can learn and develop. The consequences of behaviour which challenges others can, if not addressed effectively, impact negatively on individual pupils and groups of pupils. The need for the Local Authority, schools and other partners to work together to address behavioural issues is essential if we are to promote high standards of achievement and attainment for all. The purpose of the Behaviour Support tool is to produce accessible, and accurate information for schools and settings in one place, on sources of training, support and advice led by Lancashire services and clear pathways in relation to meeting pupil's social, emotional and behavioural needs. Aims 1. To develop safe, calm and ordered school environments within which pupils are able to learn and develop and thrive. 2. To develop skills for emotional literacy, positive social relationships and emotional health and well-being among pupils to take into their adult lives beyond school. 3. To Improve capacity within our schools and other settings to include all our pupils including those children and young people who, at times, may present very challenging behaviour, as a result of a variety of factors originating both within the child or young person or resulting from their social environment.

Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’S Cotton Frontier C.1890-1950
Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’s Cotton Frontier c.1890-1950 By Jack Southern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of a PhD, at the University of Central Lancashire April 2016 1 i University of Central Lancashire STUDENT DECLARATION FORM I declare that whilst being registered as a candidate of the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another aware of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used for any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate ________________________________________________ Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: Education and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the evolution of identity and community within north east Lancashire during a period when the area gained regional and national prominence through its involvement in the cotton industry. It examines how the overarching shared culture of the area could evolve under altering economic conditions, and how expressions of identity fluctuated through the cotton industry’s peak and decline. In effect, it explores how local populations could shape and be shaped by the cotton industry. By focusing on a compact area with diverse settlements, this thesis contributes to the wider understanding of what it was to live in an area dominated by a single industry. The complex legacy that the cotton industry’s decline has had is explored through a range of settlement types, from large town to small village.

Blackburn with Darwen Employment and Skills Strategy 2017 - 2040
Blackburn with Darwen Employment and Skills Strategy 2017 - 2040 Blackburn with Darwen Skills Strategy | 1 Introduction Blackburn with Darwen’s Employment and Skills Strategy aims to get more local people into work by delivering a skills system that meets the needs of both employers and residents of the borough. Why is it needed? We have too few people of working age in work – one of the lowest rates in the region. A significant number of employers raise skills, or the lack of, as a recruitment issue. They report concern about the impact this has on their continued productivity and growth of their business. This can be related to workforce development needs or an inability to recruit new talent, particularly from the local area. In addition to this, skills are not just important for regional, national and global competitiveness; they have the potential to transform life chances and to drive social mobility. We need to ensure that Blackburn with Darwen’s education system has the infrastructure and framework in place to capitalise on what the Government sees as the skill needs for the future as set out in the Industrial Strategy White Paper published in November 2017. The Lancashire Enterprise Partnership (LEP) already has a Skills and Employment Strategic Framework and will be producing its own ‘Industrial Strategy’ in response to the White Paper. The Borough needs to be well placed to shape and influence this to ensure it reflects the needs of Blackburn with Darwen. There are lots of organisations and sectors across the borough and wider Lancashire area who wish to address skills issues and improve outcomes.

Gillian Mckinlay's Family
for Lancashire & Blackburn with Darwen REGULATION 28 REPORT TO PREVENT FUTURE DEATHS THIS REPORT IS BEING SENT TO: East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust Medical Director and Legal Services Department Care Quality Commission Gillian McKinlay's family 1 CORONER I am Dr James Adeley Senior Coroner for Lancashire & Blackburn with Darwen 2 CORONER’S LEGAL POWERS I make this report under paragraph 7, Schedule 5, of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 and regulations 28 and 29 of the Coroners (Investigations) Regulations 2013. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2009/25/schedule/5/paragraph/7 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/1629/part/7/made 3 INVESTIGATION and INQUEST 4 CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE DEATH Mrs Gillian McKinlay, 68 years of age, was admitted to the Accident & Emergency Department of Royal Blackburn Hospital on 23 April 2018. The provisional diagnosis was of small bowel obstruction and both the A & E and Surgical Registrars requested siting of a nasogastric tube to decompress the bowel. The NG tube was not sited prior to Mrs McKinley's death four hours later, which in the Coroner's view, contributed to the death. Despite Early Warning Score indications that there should have been a significant review of Mrs McKinlay's condition in the 2 ½ hours before she arrested, there is no evidence that any such review took place. A copy of the summing up is attached to this document for further information. 5 CORONER’S CONCERNS The MATTERS OF CONCERN are as follows: 1. For patients remaining for a considerable period of time in the Accident and Emergency Department there is no clear indication or understanding as to who is responsible for the overall patient's clinical care.
