  • Cumbria County Council Early Years (Speech, Language and Communication) Peer Challenge
    Cumbria County Council Early Years (Speech, Language and Communication) Peer Challenge 3rd – 6th December 2019 Feedback Report Page 1 of 13 1. Executive Summary Cumbria has good partnership working at operational levels which aim to meet the needs of children in the early years. Staff are passionate about their work and aim to deliver services to provide the best start for the youngest children in Cumbria. Strategic leadership and oversight of the early years agenda needs to be improved and the current governance arrangement through the Cumbria Alliance of Systems Leaders (CASL) is not fully effective. The governance arrangements to oversee the developing Early Years Strategy will need to be considered and the Cumbria Children’s Trust may be the best forum for this. However, this Board is in need of a review and refresh. The health landscape is complex, with two Clinical Commissioning Groups, one based in the south, Morecambe Bay, which also covers part of Lancashire, the other in north Cumbria. Relationships are established and improving. This brings challenges in terms of service provision and the capacity of strategic leaders to work across two counties. Partnership working at a local level is well-developed and is based on professional and organisational respect. Signs of Safety has been well received and is the basis for strengths-based conversations to tackle difficult issues. There were examples of services and settings working together to address need, despite a lack of strategic direction. Families and children are at the heart of what they do. The new specification for the 0-19 Children, Young People and Families Health and Wellbeing System has enabled commissioners to work together to develop a holistic approach and bring partners together.

  • The Past People of Allerdale
    The Past People of Allerdale nd 2 Edition Cockermouth Cemetery from the Lorton Road gates Tales and stories of the interesting and famous people of Allerdale complied and produced by Bereavement Services, Allerdale Borough Council Contents Page 1 Contents Chapter Page Preface 2 Cemeteries of Allerdale 3 The Workhouse 9 Silloth R.A.F 14 People of Silloth 16 People of Cockermouth 23 People of Maryport 44 People of Workington 60 People of Wigton 86 People of Aspatria 96 People of Keswick 98 People of Allerdale and the Surrounding Area 108 Bibliography 122 The Past People of Allerdale Page 1 Preface Page 2 Preface Throughout the years the area covered by Allerdale Borough Council had produced a remarkable number and variety of people of note, from famous scientists to sailors, wrestlers to witches and poets to cavemen. The following booklet not only contains information on famous residents such as William Wordsworth and Fletcher Christian, but also people of local interest, perhaps not known to people outside their own town or village. Also included are a few rather more weird and disturbing stories involving murder, witchcraft, poisoning, disease and ghosts. If possible the place of burial of the people researched has been found, with the intention for the reader to walk around the local cemeteries, and find the graves while reading the story behind the headstone. If the burial place isn’t stated below the persons name it means it couldn’t be found in the registers, and the person must be buried elsewhere. At the end of each person’s brief biography, a “story” from the “Cumberland Chronicle” has been included, with all the stories being between 1777 and 1779.
