  • Sunderland Multi-Agency Domestic Violence and Abuse Referral Pathway
    Sunderland Multi-Agency Domestic Violence and Abuse Referral Pathway Enabling disclosure • There are many reasons why victims won’t, or feel they can’t, make a disclosure so it’s important to build trust to enable a possible future disclosure. • Always be alert to the possibility that an individual is experiencing domestic abuse and be prepared to offer support or signposting. Keep the local 0800 066 5555 helpline number in your phone. • Be aware of signs that could indicate abuse is taking place, such as physical injury (eg. inconsistent explanations for injuries, frequent bruises, covering up injuries), controlling behaviour (eg. partner always present during appointments, won’t allow person to talk for themselves, person has limited access to money) and environmental indicators (eg. holes in doors/walls, broken furniture, tense atmosphere in the home). • If you need to use interpreters, ensure they are professional interpreters. Never use family members, children or friends where abuse is known or suspected. • Only ask questions about domestic abuse when victims are on their own and in private. This guidance is applicable to all victims of domestic abuse. Domestic abuse is predominantly perpetrated against women by men, however it can be perpetrated within same sex relationships, by women against men, and by other family members such as older children against their parents or the extended family/community as in cases of honour based violence. Domestic abuse impacts upon children and/or vulnerable adults in the household whether they are abused directly by the perpetrator and by hearing, witnessing or intervening in incidents. Remember: domestic abuse commonly escalates and increases in severity over time.

  • Healeyfield Parish News Spring 2017
    Parish News Spring, 2017 Printed by Conway Printing Services www.parishes.durham.gov.uk/healeyfield [email protected] Winter Garden I hope you have enjoyed the warm weather that went on into the autumn months. It's been quite a dry few months so I hope you have watered the plants plenty. I would love to see any pictures of your garden flowers or vegetables that you have grown. You can email me at [email protected]. Your pictures could be in the next parish magazine. December Is the month for pruning and planting bushes and trees. Prune climbing roses now and cut away any damaged growth. Leave the faded heads on your hydrangeas until the spring as this provides protection for the new growth down the stems. Gather up fallen leaves around your plants as this reduces the chance of infection in the plants next year. Tie up climbers and new shoots. This will help them in the wind and stop them from being broken. Harvest holly with berries for making garlands and christmas wreaths. These can be kept in a bucket of water until you need them. In the vegetable garden lift the last of the leeks and parsnips. Lift and divide rhubarb. Sections taken from the outside of the plant are better than from the middle. Dig over empty borders and if you can spread manure on the top, the worms and the frosts will help break up the soil. If you are looking for something to grow this month there are a range of mushroom kits to try and these are quite easy to grow.

  • Issue 108 October 2013
    PARISH NEWS covering SHILLINGTON, PEGSDON & HIGHAM GOBION 806 properties /1884 population Issue 108 – October 2013 Deadline for December edition – 29th November 2013 PARISH COUNCIL VILLAGE GREEN: Thanks to everyone who has co-operated by not parking their cars on the Village Green since the No Parking signs were installed. However, some vehicles are still being left there and the Parish Council will be taking further action to deal with this. Please note that Shillington Parish Council cannot be held responsible for any damage to vehicles parked on the Green. The Parish Council has granted to owners of nearby fields formal rights of access over the track across the centre of the Village Green. It is essential that this remains unobstructed by parked cars at all times as large farm machinery may be taken across and require a substantial area in which to turn. Car owners may find that their motor insurance is not valid on land where they have no permission to park. Parking also continues on the track adjacent to the north side of the Green, which is obstructing the official line of the public bridleway leading into Parsonage Lane. To prevent parking and to allow horse riders to exercise their right to use this route, the Parish Council and Rights Of Way Officer will be having bollards installed shortly. THE RIDINGS ……WILSON CLOSE: The new housing development at the rear of 50 High Road is to be named ‘Wilson Close’ in memory of Mrs. Joan Wilson, who was parish clerk to Shillington for over 40 years until her retirement in 1996 age 78.

    The natural haven where the New Forest meets the Solent 2019 Tide Times & Information JEREMY ROGERS LIMITED WELCOME TO THE BEAULIEU RIVER & BUCKLER’S HARD boat builders & composite specialists Welcome to the Beaulieu River, which forms the south eastern edge of the Beaulieu Estate and is one of the few privately owned estuaries in the world. It has been in the custodianship of my family since 1538 when Henry VIII closed Beaulieu Abbey and sold its lands to my ancestor Thomas Wriothesley. The monks settled at Beaulieu partly because the river ensured easy transit between the abbey and points further afield, and so it remains today. photo by Alex Irwin The estuary is an ideal place from which to sail in the Solent or to visit for a short stay and, if you seek the pleasures of the countryside, the Beaulieu Estate and the New Forest National Park are on your doorstep. The craftmanship’s ours. The adventure’s all yours. My aim is to maintain the natural beauty of the river and protect its wildlife and so the number of moorings is carefully controlled. The river currently offers 115 marina berths and over 300 moorings which are served by a seasonal water taxi. Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour offers full marina services, including We are well known as the home of Contessa yachts, but whatever newly refurbished washroom and laundry facilities, an open policy boatyard and kind of boat you have, our yard in the Lymington Yacht Haven is the perfect chandlery. Along with a range of other benefits, permanent berth holders can place for refurbishment.
