Gold Standards Framework in Care Homes Accredited Homes Database Gold Standards Framework in Care Homes Accredited Homes Database Care Homes that have received the Quality Hallmark Award (Rounds 1 - 17, 2008 –2016 including Re Accreditation) (Rounds 1 - 14, 2008 –2015 including Re Accreditation) The GSFCH Training Programme aims to improve the organisation and quality of care for residents in the last years of life, to improve collaboration across boundaries and to reduce avoidable hospital admissions. To qualify for accreditation, care homes must have undertaken the full GSFCH Training programme over 9 months, embedded this into their homes for at least 6 months and then undertaken a rigorous accreditation process 'Going for Gold’. There are many benefits to being a GSF Accredited Home and we hope that this will encourage other homes to go forward for accreditation in future. This process ensures Quality Improvement; Quality Assurance and Quality Recognition for all homes involved, and can reassure PCT commissioners and others that good end of life care will be provided for their residents. 669 care homes have received the accreditation award for the high quality of care provided for people in the final years of life. 352 of these have achieved re accreditation status. and 8 Homes have received 3rd time accreditation The accreditation process is endorsed by the English Community Care Association, Registered Nursing Home Association, National Care Association and National Care Forum.

  • The Jasper Allen Documents
    Worle History Society Jasper Allen Documents Worle History Society The Jasper Allen Documents A collection of documents relating to the holdings of the Smyth-Pigott family in the Worle area 1 Worle History Society Jasper Allen Documents The Allen Documents Introduction In 2013 Worle History Society was extremely fortunate to be offered the loan of a collection of documents relating to the historical property holdings of the Smyth-Pigott family. The loan was kindly made by Jasper Allen, a descendant of the family. Jasper’s mother was Anne Mary Cecilia Smyth-Pigott, daughter of Joseph Ruscombe Wadham Smyth-Pigott, and wife of Wing/Co Hubert R. Allen. The documents were chosen from a wider collection as having particular interest for the Society in its enquiries into the history of our parish. A working group of members was set up to discuss how best to investigate and record the documents. While a full-scale exercise to photograph the documents might have been desirable it was considered to be beyond our means in terms of both expertise and resources. It also seemed to be at least as important to actually come to grips with the contents of the documents and to find some way of recording the information. Accordingly, a record sheet was devised which aimed to capture the main details such as names of individuals, place names, field names and any additional features that might occur. We are presenting the information in the form of a PDF document. We felt that a printed document would be cumbersome and hard to access whereas this format will allow researchers to search for specific names and follow any leads that might result.

  • The Flora of Somerset
    * THE FLORA OF SOMERSET BY THE REV. R. P. MURRAY, M.A. VICAR OF SHAPVVICK, DORSET. FLORA OF SOMERSET. BOTANICAL DISTRICTS. r I iHESE are founded on the river basins, and are conse- -J- quently of very unequal size. The most important river in the county is undoubtedly the P arret, which, though it rises in Dorset, almost immediately enters Somerset, and drains all the country lying between the Polden and Quantock hills. This tract it has been found necessary to subdivide. The other chief rivers which belong wholly or in part to Somerset are the Exe, Barle, 'Devonshire' Axe, Brue, 'Somerset' Axe, and Avon. A small area in the south-east of the county is drained by streams flowing into the Stour. I. Dulverton District. —The extreme south-west por- tion of the county, drained by the rivers Exe and Barle, which have their sources among the elevated bogs of Exmoor. II. Minehead District.—All the country along the southern shore of the Bristol Channel, from Devon on the west to the mouth of the P arret on the east. A narrow tract, averaging six miles in width, very hilly, except in the extreme east. It is watered by a number of small streams, descending from Exmoor and from the Brendon and Quantock hills. III. Taunton District.—This comprises the country drained by the river Tone and by the small streams which, flowing from the south, empty themselves into the Parret below Langport. BOTANICAL DISTRICTS. iii IV. Ilminster and Yeovil District.—This district is drained by the upper waters of the Parret.

The projects represent more than £20m of County Council investment and will create more than 1,100 new school places for local children. Our growing population and new housing developments mean there is an ever-growing need for school places. It’s always a big challenge to predict exactly where the demand for spaces will be - and to make the funding available for new buildings when they’re needed. To do this we work closely with developers, district councils, schools, academy trusts and, of course, the contractors building the schools for us.
