The Principal, a number of Governors and the Clerk had recently attended AoC sessions about the Area Review process. Feedback emerging from _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ AW/LJ/230316.mins.Corp Page 1/5 Approved 31 May 2016 the first wave of reviews highlighted the significant workload and time commitment for college Chairs/Lead Governors as well as senior managers. The outcomes and objectives of the reviews were variable, depending on institutions’ individual circumstances and were primarily focused on achieving greater financial efficiencies. The Search and Governance Committee would consider the latest feedback and guidance in more detail at its next meeting. G16/03 Chair’s Business The Chair reported on the following: 03.01 Resignation Members noted that Jamie Smith had tendered his resignation as he would be taking up a new role with Unlocking Potential, a scheme jointly managed by Cornwall College and Plymouth University. The Corporation thanked Jamie for his commitment as a governor and significant input to the work of the Corporation. Members wished him well in his new role. 03.02 Governance Development Event The Chair informed governors that Jo Matthews, National Leader of Governance, would be leading development session (funded by the Education and Training Foundation) at Truro College on the afternoon of Thursday 12 May 2016. Further details would be provided in due course. G16/04 Principal’s Report The Principal presented his quarterly report and highlighted a number of local and national developments including: Ofsted Inspection – members commended students for their exemplary conduct throughout the visit and the extraordinary commitment shown by lecturers and support staff. The whole inspection process had been positive and preliminary feedback from inspectors was very encouraging. Governors and staff, particularly Mark Arnold (Director of Quality) and Andy Stittle (Quality Assurance Leader) were congratulated on the preparation and organisation of the visit as well as the successful outcome. Publication of the final report was expected around 8 April. Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) Higher Education Review – members noted that the QAA review of the academic standards and quality of HE provision had also gone very well. The QAA report was not expected for several months and would include confirmation that the four core standards had been met. The QAA review process did not produce a grading judgement. Re-designation – policy developments including changes which could enable some colleges to re-designate as sixth form colleges, convert to an academy and benefit from VAT savings were being monitored. House of Commons Public Accounts Committee – Peter Lauener (CEO of the Skills Funding Agency and the Education Funding Agency) had presented _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ AW/LJ/230316.mins.Corp Page 2/5 Approved 31 May 2016 evidence to an enquiry into Financial Sustainability in the FE Sector. He highlighted the considerable challenges that colleges were currently facing. Members noted the financial trends affecting the FE sector and acknowledged that the College remained atypical with no debts and strong financial reserves. Storm Damage – during recent storms a tree had fallen causing damage to a parked car. The opportunity was taken to assess the condition of external areas, remove several large trees, and complete other grounds maintenance works. Penzance Library – the former library at Morrab Road, Penzance, adjacent to the existing Art School, would soon be handed over to the College. An assessment of the building would be undertaken to decide how best to utilise the space. Student and College Activities – visitors to the College this term included Nick Boles (Minister for Skills) and Scott Mann (MP for North Cornwall) during Apprenticeship Week. Many students had taken part in fieldtrips, visits and sporting events with former students Jack Nowell and Luke Cowan-Dickie selected to play for England in the Six Nations rugby tournament. Staff and students across the College were involved in National Safer Internet Day to improve online safety and raise awareness of potential risks. College Statistics – Members noted the latest student number estimates and staffing position for 2015/16 compared to previous years. The Corporation thanked the Principal for his informative update and noted the diverse range of College and student activities that had taken place this term. G16/05 Quarterly Review of College’s Financial Position The Committee received and noted the Quarterly Review of the College’s Financial Position for the seven month period ending on 29 February 2016. Members noted that a revised budget had been prepared in January to take account of the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement and a number of other variations. The impact of funding cuts, increases to employer National Insurance costs and Local Government Pension Fund contributions as well as other factors meant that the budget remained very tight. Every effort would be made to minimise the end of year deficit which would be offset by strong reserves. The long term cashflow position would remain positive. The Corporation AGREED that, based on the evidence provided, the College's overall financial position remained satisfactory in terms of the continued solvency of the institution and the safeguarding of its assets.

  • Title, Initial, Surname
    Information Classification: CONTROLLED Public Bill Committee House of Commons Your ref: London My ref: KK/240620 SW1A 0AA Date: 24 June 2020 By email: Direct to members of the Public Bill Committee Dear Members of Public Bill Committee On behalf of Cornwall Council, I write in respect of the Parliamentary Consistencies Bill 2019-21. Cornwall is a historic nation, with its own culture, traditions and language, while the Cornish are recognised as a national minority. This places many obligations on the UK Government and, with this in mind, it is my hope that Members of Parliament will wish to ensure that the Cornish border which has been in existence for more than one thousand years is respected in all future boundary reviews and no seats will be created that span Devon and Cornwall. The Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Act was passed in 2011 and put in place a process to reduce the number of MPs to 600 and ensure that all seats (except for four named examples) would be within 5% of the average UK electorate. This meant that it was statistically impossible to ensure that all Cornish constituencies would lie entirely within the boundaries of Cornwall (and the Isles of Scilly). When the Boundary Commission for England published its proposals for new constituency boundaries, it inevitably included a parliamentary seat that straddled Devon and Cornwall. This caused considerable upset in Cornwall. Hundreds and hundreds of people opposed the new seat and there was even a protest at Polson Bridge on the Cornish border. Since the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Act (2011) came into being, there has been a significant development that requires consideration.

  • Chair's Report
    Chair’s Report by Joy Bassett, May 2021 Since our AGM in July 2020, despite the pandemic and most of the year spent in Lockdown, I am pleased to report that we still managed to achieve a great deal. 1. Holding our meetings via Zoom, in addition to our monthly meetings we managed to continue with the twice monthly breakfast meetings to help maintain contact with members of the business community and to help keep them encouraged, informed and provided with a space to share thoughts and ideas. Our MP, Scott Mann, came on the first Tuesday of each month to hear from business owners about their concerns and to keep us informed of any new COVID support and updated guidelines. During the last year, we have had some interesting and informative guest speakers attend the breakfast meetings. These include Darren Buckley from Cornwall Chamber, John Negus also from Cornwall Chamber to talk about making the most of Brexit, Cllr Jayne Kirkham on Cornwall Council’s Procurement Policy and her proposed motion to spend more of the Council’s budget with Cornish suppliers, Cllr Tim Dwelly, as the Portfolio Holder at the time for Culture, Economy and Planning on investment in Bodmin as well as local business owners such as Dan Dicker from Circular & Co and Russell Cosway from Gydeline. 2. Bodmin Chamber took part in the Cornwall Virtual Festival of Business on 3rd November with the spotlight on Flann Microwave, Cornwall Dairy Vets, Cornish Lime, Bodmin Jail Hotel & Resort and Proper Cornish. Five successful local Businesses that Bodmin is proud to celebrate and boast about! 3.
