HSC: 19/002 DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST The Chair invited Committee Members to declare any interest in the proceedings included in the agenda. None were declared. HSC: 19/003 MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING The minutes of the Health and Safety Committee held on the 9th October 2018 were APPROVED and ACCEPTED as a true record with the exception of the following minor amendments: (i) Title of Fiona Kinghorn should read Interim Director of Public Health (ii) Abigail Harris, Director of Planning’s apologies to be recorded. HSC: 19/004 UPDATED ACTION LOG The Committee RECEIVED the Updated Action Log from the previous meeting. HSC: 19/005 EMPLOYEE WELLBEING SERVICE UPDATE Mr Imperato welcomed Mrs Nicky Bevan, Head of Employee Health and Wellbeing Services to the meeting. Mrs Bevan informed the Committee ways to improve access to the service were currently being looked at. There was approximately a two week waiting time from self-referral to resource appointment, with then between 18 – 19 weeks waiting time to see a Counsellor which was below the 26 weeks Welsh Government target. Mrs Bevan explained the purpose of the resource appointment was to establish the appropriate intervention required e.g. self- help, counselling or onward signposting to GP and other specialist services, rather than going straight on to a counselling waiting list and added that approximately 30 – 40% of self-referrals are discharged at the resource appointment stage. The Head of Health and Safety queried whether there was any fast tracking available for staff showing signs of PTSD. Mrs Bevan confirmed there was with the Health Board being the only one in Wales with a designated PTSD service for employees who have experienced traumatic events at work and is delivered by a specialist Psychologist and is paid for separately but accessed through Occupational Health or the Employee Wellbeing Service. The Staff Lead for Health and Safety stated that whilst there was a fast track for the excellent physiotherapy service there was not one of stress and was also aware that the number of referrals were increasing with staff having to wait 18 – 19 weeks before starting the recovery process. Mrs Bevan advised fast tracking was being looked at on All Wales basis. The Director of Capital, Estates and Facilities supported Mr Egan’s comments as the waiting time for stress was having an impact on long term sickness with the aim of helping staff to return work. Mrs Bevan stressed that staff are not abandoned for 18 weeks following their 1st face to face meeting and are given a lot of information and self-help guidance. The Director of Workforce and OD stated every corporate function had a cost reduction target of 14% which inevitably has an impact on services and it difficult to prove whether more investment would reduce sickness levels. The Independent Member – Local Community queried whether a differentiation was made between work related and home related stress. Mrs Bevan advised it was grouped as work related, non-work related and combination of both and usually the latter was the main cause. Mrs Bevan added targeted interventions were also undertaken i.e. bereavement. The Committee NOTED the update and progress of the Employee Wellbeing Service.

FILLING THE GAPS: THE IRON AGE IN CARDIFF AND THE VALE OF GLAMORGAN Abstract Over the last 20 years interpretive approaches within Iron Age studies in Britain have moved from the national to the regional. This was an important development which challenged the notion that a unified, British, Iron Age ever existed. However, whilst this approach has allowed regional histories to be told in their own right there has been far too much focus on ‘key’ areas such as Wessex and Yorkshire.

  • Assessment 02Assessment2
    ASSESSMENT 02ASSESSMENT2 13 SITE LOCATION PLAN 14 PLASDWR | DESIGN AND ACCESS STATEMENT ASSESSMENT 02 THE SITE 2.1 The site encompasses two farmsteads, namely Pentrebane and Maes- y-llech, as well as a former farm building/ residence at Ty Gwyn. 2.2 Land to the north of Pentrebane Road is primarily in agricultural use and is used for grazing, crop production and occasional horticulture. The land is compartmentalised by hedgerows and woodland blocks of varying size, condition and status, and in parts is of a poor quality resulting from a lack of management and regular maintenance. 2.3 In terms of the quality of the agricultural land, the land within the site is predominantly classified as Grade 3a and 3b land. There are no areas of Grade 1 or Grade 2 land within the site. The distribution of Grade 3a and 3b land appears to reflect the prevailing topography, with plateau areas generally consisting of the higher Grade 3a land and the sloping ground Grade 3b land. 2.4 As well as hedgerows, woodland and grassland areas, a number of ponds, streams and ditches are located within the site which provide wildlife corridors through the site and the wider landscape. 2.5 Key woodland blocks provide screening and shelter, as well as a framework for the wider landscape. These include woodland at Coed-y-Trenches, Hafwrt, Coed-y-Gof, Waterhall Plantation and Coedbychan. The pattern of woodland largely follows the topography of the site, with many of the steep slopes having coverage.
