  • Why Devolution Matters: the Case of Cornwall Yth on Ni A’N Le Ma – We Are of This Place
    Institute for Public Policy Research WHY DEVOLUTION MATTERS: THE CASE OF CORNWALL YTH ON NI A’N LE MA – WE ARE OF THIS PLACE Sarah Longlands and Anna Round March 2021 Available at: www.ippr.org/publication/why-devolution-matters-the-case-of- cornwall INTRODUCTION From Covid-19 to Brexit to long term climate change, the complexity of the challenges the UK now faces means that the centralised system of government at Whitehall is no longer fit for purpose. Without a renewed commitment to devolution for all of the nations and regions which make up the UK, the government will fail to meet its promises to build back better and level up. More seriously still, we face the prospect of a disunited kingdom. The UK is one of the most economically divided countries in the developed world; it is also the most centralised (CEJ 2018, Raikes and Giovannini 2019, McCann 2019, UK2070 2020). This is not a coincidence. Research shows that where you live in the UK determines your ability to live a “good life” (Johns et al 2020). However, it has been the metro mayors, local government, civil society and business which have proved most agile and responsive to the challenges and impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. Similarly, while central government may try to claim the credit, the recovery will be led by those same organisations. They know their communities best and are already deploying their limited resources, creativity and collaborative capital to rebuild local economies, support those who are out of work, and co-ordinate the recovery of people and place.

    Cornwall and the Politics of Recognition Written by Simon Thompson This PDF is auto-generated for reference only. As such, it may contain some conversion errors and/or missing information. For all formal use please refer to the official version on the website, as linked below. Cornwall and the Politics of Recognition https://www.e-ir.info/2014/10/26/cornwall-and-the-politics-of-recognition/ SIMON THOMPSON, OCT 26 2014 I’m very interested in what’s called the politics of recognition. This phrase is used to describe a wide range of political phenomena in which individuals and groups of various kinds struggle to be recognized for their particular characteristics or identities or achievements. Some groups want to be recognized for being the same as others. So, for example, the American civil rights movement can be understood as a struggle by black Americans to be treated in the same way as all other American citizens. But other groups want recognition of their distinctiveness – of the fact that they are not like others. The recent announcement that Cornish people are to be granted minority status within the UK looks like a case of this kind. The announcement was made by the Council of Europe, a body which describes itself as ‘the continent’s leading human rights organisation’. Founded in 1949, its principal objective is to oversee the implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights, which the Council describes as ‘a treaty designed to protect human rights, democracy and the rule of law’. Of particular importance to the present case is the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, drawn up in 1995 (http://conventions.coe.int/Treaty/en/Treaties/html/157.htm).

PH has severe physical and learning disabilities and is without speech. He lacks capacity to decide for himself where to live. Since the age of four he has received accommodation and support at public expense. Until his majority in December 2004, he was living with foster parents in South Gloucestershire. Since then he has lived in two care homes in the Somerset area. There is no dispute about his entitlement to that support, initially under the Children Act 1989, and since his majority under the National Assistance Act 1948. The issue is: which authority should be responsible? 2. This depends, under sections 24(1) and (5) of the 1948 Act, on, where immediately before his placement in Somerset, he was “ordinarily resident”.

  • Bounded by Heritage and the Tamar: Cornwall As 'Almost an Island'
    Island Studies Journal, 15(1), 2020, 223-236 Bounded by heritage and the Tamar: Cornwall as ‘almost an island’ Philip Hayward University of Technology Sydney, Australia [email protected] (corresponding author) Christian Fleury University of Caen Normandy, France [email protected] Abstract: This article considers the manner in which the English county of Cornwall has been imagined and represented as an island in various contemporary contexts, drawing on the particular geographical insularity of the peninsular county and distinct aspects of its cultural heritage. It outlines the manner in which this rhetorical islandness has been deployed for tourism promotion and political purposes, discusses the value of such imagination for agencies promoting Cornwall as a distinct entity and deploys these discussions to a consideration of ‘almost- islandness’ within the framework of an expanded Island Studies field. Keywords: almost islands, Cornwall, Devon, islands, Lizard Peninsula, Tamar https://doi.org/10.24043/isj.98 • Received May 2019, accepted July 2019 © 2020—Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Introduction Over the last decade Island Studies has both consolidated and diversified. Island Studies Journal, in particular, has increasingly focussed on islands as complex socio-cultural-economic entities within a global landscape increasingly affected by factors such as tourism, migration, demographic change and the all-encompassing impact of the Anthropocene. Islands, in this context, are increasingly perceived and analysed as nexuses (rather than as isolates). Other work in the field has broadened the focus from archetypal islands—i.e., parcels of land entirely surrounded by water—to a broad range of locales and phenomena that have island-like attributes.

    Devon & Cornwall Police Secures Data with CommVault Simpana Software October 28, 2008 - England's Largest Geographic Police Constabulary Selects CommVault Simpana Backup and Archive Software to Help Ensure Business Continuity and Maximize Information Availability - READING, Berkshire--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 28, 2008--CommVault (NASDAQ: CVLT): -- The Devon and Cornwall Constabulary, covering the largest geographical police area in England, has selected CommVault(R) Simpana(R) software to help adhere to strict compliance legislation and ensure 24x7 access to sensitive citizen and local authority data. -- The responsibility of two counties and a seasonal influx of visitors causes the population to swell from about 1.5 million people to 8 million during the summer months. As with any police force, there is a need for long-term, secure storage for highly sensitive and important information, all required 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. When combined with the additional need to adhere to regulations including the Data Protection Act and Freedom of Information requests, the efficient management and protection of data is critical. -- The Devon and Cornwall Constabulary is replacing its existing data protection infrastructure with CommVault software to gain a more flexible, scalable solution to help maximize business uptime and information availability, while streamlining the ability to manage and maintain its backup infrastructure. A review of its existing infrastructure showed that it could not cope with the existing data loads and management requirements, let alone the requirements of new projects such as new fingerprinting techniques and the associated dramatically increasing data loads. -- To overcome these challenges, the Constabulary will deploy Simpana software to minimize the number of products under management and therefore its administrative overhead.
