West Yorkshire Fire and Civil Defence Authority WEST YORKSHIRE FIRE AUTHORITY MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE HELD ON 18 JULY 2003 AT FIRE SERVICE HEADQUARTERS, BIRKENSHAW Present: Councillors Fox (in the chair), Granger, Harrand and McElroy 1 MINUTES OF THE LAST MEETING RESOLVED That the Minutes of the Committee at a meeting held on 16 June 2003 be signed by the Chair as a correct record. 2 EXCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC - SECTION 100A, LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT 1972 RESOLVED That the public and press be excluded from the meeting during the items of business specified below as it is likely, in view of the nature of the business to be transacted or the nature of the proceedings, that if members of the public and press were present during these items, there would be disclosure to them of exempt information of the descriptions respectively specified. AGENDA TITLE OF REPORT MINUTE Description of Exempt ITEM NO. NUMBER Information by reference to the paragraph number in Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 E5 Catering Contract - Award 5 8 and 9 - Contract Price and Prejudice Negotiations E6 New Bradford Fire Station 6 8 and 9 - Contract Price - ground investigation and and Prejudice Negotiations site planning works 3 DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST No disclosures of interest were declared in any matter under consideration at the meeting. 4 INTEGRATED PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM (IPDS) - EXTENDED TRIAL Consideration was given to a report of the Chief Fire Officer and Chief Executive which advised of an extended trial of the Integrated Personal Development System (IPDS). It was reported that the research which had been undertaken into the implementation of IPDS in West Yorkshire had revealed that there were large discrepancies in the job size of some station commands. Members were advised, therefore, that a trial had been proposed whereby small one pump stations would be combined into joint commands. It was proposed that the trial would commence with immediate effect and would involve Pontefract and Knottingley, Wetherby and Stanks, and, Elland and Brighouse. No reduction in establishment would result from the one-year trial and, similarly, the current net effect on officer cover would be neutral. It was further reported that, should the trial be successful a Section 19 application would have to be made should the Authority wish to consolidate the arrangements. RESOLVED That the report be noted. 5 CATERING CONTRACT - AWARD (Exempt information under Schedule 12A (8 and 9) of the Local Government Act 1972 - Contract Price and Prejudice Negotiations) This item was withdrawn from the agenda by the Director of Corporate Services. 6 NEW BRADFORD FIRE STATION - GROUND INVESTIGATION AND SITE PLANNING WORKS (Exempt information under Schedule 12A (8 and 9) of the Local Government Act 1972 - Contract Price and Prejudice Negotiations) Consideration was given to a report of the Director of Corporate Services which sought approval for the early vacation of tenants from the site of the proposed new Fire Station on Leeds Road, Bradford and subsequent site clearance. It was reported that the cost of the compensation package as detailed in the report now submitted would be charged against the capital scheme for the replacement Bradford Fire Station. RESOLVED That approval be given to the financial terms detailed in the report for securing early possession of the premises comprising 550 / 552 Leeds Road and to the identified expenditure for site clearance and ground testing.

West Yorkshire Police work with support agencies to ensure that all victims of crime are offered support through the criminal justice process, including specialist support such as from Independent Sexual Violence Advisors.

    PONTEFRACT, CASTLEFORD AND KNOTTINGLEY Author: Peter Cookson Number of Pages: 112 pages Published Date: 17 Feb 2003 Publisher: Bellcode Books Publication Country: Rudston, United Kingdom Language: English ISBN: 9781871233155 DOWNLOAD: PONTEFRACT, CASTLEFORD AND KNOTTINGLEY Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley PDF Book JeanCamp,HelenNissenbaum,CathleenMcGrath GroupsandAnonymity OntheSecurityofHomageGroupAuthenticationProtocol. With verve and self- assurance, it addresses a broad, central question: How can we improve our understanding of the large-scale processes and structures that transformed the world of the nineteenth century and are transforming our world today. Anstey takes us into new terrain and new interpretations of Locke's thought in his explorations of his mercurialist transmutational chymistry, his theory of generation by seminal principles, and his conventionalism about species. This second edition is fully revised and updated to include changes to the UK law as a result of recent EU legislation, which will have a significant impact on archivists and archival researchers. Research directors and legislative or administrative advisers do not have the time to scan the escalating number of technical publications that may contain articles mtportant to current responsibility. The author's treatment is mathematically thorough and consistent, and the book gives the necessary background on existential and conceptual graphs. Each of the chapters reviews current knowledge in a defined area of ecohydraulic experimental research. Embryology at a Glance introduces the basic principles of human development, from mitosis and meiosis, and walks you through the primary formation of each body system, with coverage of the continued development of the respiratory and vascular systems during the foetal and neonatal periods. Nonetheless there are overlaps that many families will identify with.

  • Anti-Bullying Policy
    Aberford Road, Garforth, Leeds, LS25 2HF T: 0113 212 7100 E: [email protected] W: www.egpa.org.uk …Changing Lives Anti-bullying Policy (In conjunction with Academy Behaviour Policy) This policy was formally adopted by East Garforth Primary Academy on: 1st September 2019 The renewal date for this policy is: 1st September 2020 Context The overall aim of the Academy is to have an educational community which promotes and provides excellence in teaching, learning, relationships and opportunities, through high expectations and adherence to traditional values. Therefore all members of the East Garforth Primary Academy have a right to feel welcome, secure and happy. Pupils should expect to learn in a supportive and caring environment without fear of bullying. Bullying is antisocial behaviour and affects everyone. Any form of bullying is totally unacceptable in the academy. However, human nature being as it is, despite our culture of zero tolerance towards this issue, there may be some instances of students attempting to bully each other within the Academy – often as a result of offsite situations or incidents. Therefore, we aim to deal with any bullying complaints firmly, fairly and promptly. We treat bullying as a serious offence and take every possible action to keep it to a minimum. Our Aims To create an environment where bullying is not tolerated. To ensure that all pupils are aware of their rights and responsibilities and know how to seek help if those rights are being violated. To encourage pupils to work well, develop good relationships and offer each other mutual support and respect.

  • Wakefield Seven Area Profile Selection: Pontefract and Knottingley Statistics, Charts and Maps Describing Wakefield's Area Working Areas
    InstantAtlas™ Server 6 Wakefield Seven Area Profile Selection: Pontefract and Knottingley Statistics, charts and maps describing Wakefield's Area Working areas. Introduction A wide variety of social, economic and cultural conditions exist across the Wakefield district, and these combine to create a patchwork of distinctive communities and neighbourhoods. These differences may prompt agencies to deliver services in particular ways and the priorities for local people in one area may be different to those of people living in another area. The Wakefield Together area working model has been developed to reflect and address the differences that exist across the district. For the purposes of area working, the district is divided into seven areas: Castleford; Normanton and Featherstone; Pontefract and Knottingley; South East; Wakefield Central; Wakefield North West; and Wakefield Rural. Some of the seven areas also include ‘priority neighbourhoods’ where intelligence suggests that specific targeted support is required. There are 12 priority neighbourhoods in the district overall. The Council’s Performance and Intelligence Team, collaborating with partners, has developed a set of more detailed reports to focus on each of the seven areas in turn. This report focuses on the Pontefract and Knottingley area. The aim of the report is to help people understand local conditions and the changes that occur over time. The report draws on both quantitative and qualitative information from a wide range of sources – both national and local. Profile created: 9/1/2017 Key Points Population Profile The proportion of people satisfied with their local area as a place to live is around the district average. The age profile of the population is very similar to the district average and has aged over the past 10 years - older people now make up a higher proportion of the population.
