It provides robust data that reflects the perceptions of Area 7 residents on key quality of life, anti social behaviour and corporate satisfaction indicators/figures 2.0 RECOMMENDATIONS IT IS RECOMMENDED that the Committee: − Note the Area 7 findings − Note that Council Departments will analyse the data presented by Mori and integrate them into their service planning processes for 2006/2007 − Note that information from the survey is to be used to develop the Community Plan. 3 BACKGROUND INFORMATION 3.1 In October/November 2005 MORI undertook Nottingham’s 2 nd Residents survey. The Council worked in partnership with One Nottingham who wished to engage city residents as part of the safer and stronger communities’ strand of Neighbourhood Renewal, focussing on local communities’ quality of life. In total 2,033 City residents took part of these 207 are Area 7 residents. 3.2 It is worth noting that the survey dealt with residents’ perceptions at the time the survey was conducted rather than facts . Residents’ perceptions, therefore, may not accurately represent the level and quality of services that are currently provided in Area 7 and Nottingham as a whole. One of the challenges will be to link these perceptions with other data that is available, for example, performance indicators or other measurements of service quality.

  • Chapter One: Introduction 1
    Feminism, citizenship and social activity: The role and importance of local women’s organisations, Nottingham 1918-1969 Samantha Clements, B.A., M.A. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2008 ABSTRACT This local study of single-sex organisations in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire is an attempt to redress some of the imbalanced coverage given to this area of history thus far. A chronological study, it examines the role, importance and, to some extent, impact of a wide range of women’s organisations in the local context. Some were local branches of national organisations, others were specifically concerned with local issues. The local focus allows a challenge to be made to much current thought as to the strength of a “women’s movement” in the years between the suffrage movement and the emergence of a more radical form of feminism in the 1970s. The strength of feminist issues and campaigning is studied in three periods – the inter-war period, the Second World War and its immediate aftermath, and the 1950s and 1960s. The first two periods have previously been studied on a national level but, until recently, the post-Second World war era has been written off as overwhelmingly domestic and therefore unconstructive to the achievement of any feminist aims. This study suggests that, at a local level, this is not the case and that other conclusions reached about twentieth century feminism at a national level are not always applicable to the local context. The study also goes further than attempting to track interest in equality feminism in the mid years of the century by discussing the importance of citizenship campaigns and the social dimension of membership of women’s organisations.

    Chapter Eight: Accessibility Priorities for Greater Nottingham Accessibility Strategy 2006/7 – 2010/11 147 148 Accessibility Strategy 2006/7 – 2010/11 Introduction 8.1. Following on from the Strategic Accessibility Assessment in Chapter 7, this chapter sets out the accessibility priorities for Greater Nottingham and explains why specific issues, groups and areas have been selected for action over the Plan period, with more detailed local accessibility analysis presented for the Local Accessibility Action plans proposed for early action from 2006/7. Accessibility priorities – initial scoping 8.2. An initial scoping of the likely accessibility priorities for the Plan area was presented in the Framework Accessibility Strategy which drew upon the opportunities identified from the wider national and local policy context set out in Chapters 3 and 4 and the partnership working described in Chapter 6. This provided a broad picture of the accessibility issues facing Greater Nottingham and where future resources and action should be concentrated over the Plan period in terms of key origins, destinations and networks: 8.3. Origins: Access requirements need to be considered for key population groups across Greater Nottingham, with a particular focus on those without access to a car, plus all those living within specific communities which have been prioritised by the authorities as being in particular need. Accessibility origins are set out in Table 8.1. 8.4. Destinations: Consideration was also given to the location of core services. The priority destinations set out in Table 8.2 include new employment land sites, district centres as defined in the Local Plans, other local centres and major shopping locations and other key destinations determined by developments taking place over the Plan period as set out in the programme in Annex D.

  • High Pavement Sixth Form College
    REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE High Pavement Sixth Form College June 1995 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council has a legal duty to make sure further education in England is properly assessed. The FEFC’s inspectorate inspects and reports on each college of further education every four years. The inspectorate also assesses and reports nationally on the curriculum and gives advice to FEFC’s quality assessment committee. College inspections are carried out in accordance with the framework and guidelines described in Council Circular 93/28. They involve full-time inspectors and registered part-time inspectors who have knowledge and experience in the work they inspect. Inspection teams normally include at least one member who does not work in education and a member of staff from the college being inspected. GRADE DESCRIPTORS The procedures for assessing quality are set out in the Council Circular 93/28. During their inspection, inspectors assess the strengths and weaknesses of each aspect of provision they inspect. Their assessments are set out in the reports. They also use a five-point grading scale to summarise the balance between strengths and weaknesses. The descriptors for the grades are: • grade 1 – provision which has many strengths and very few weaknesses • grade 2 – provision in which the strengths clearly outweigh the weaknesses • grade 3 – provision with a balance of strengths and weaknesses • grade 4 – provision in which the weaknesses clearly outweigh the strengths • grade 5 – provision which has many weaknesses and very few strengths.
