Annual Report 2012/13 9 PUBLIC SERVICE EXCELLENCE

Canterbury Christ Church University is perhaps best known for its links with public services – from its teacher education, health and policing courses leading to public service careers, through to the strong and enduring partnerships it has forged over the last 50 years.

The University plays a vital role in the community, contributing to a healthy regional economy and public services which can meet the challenges of a rapidly changing social and policy landscape. Public service excellence, however, goes beyond our direct work with regional, national and international public bodies. It captures our commitment to community through equal opportunities, widening participation and our role in equipping students with the knowledge and intelligence to make a positive, and lasting, contribution to public life.

10 Canterbury Christ Church University FORGING NEW PARTNERSHIPS WITH SCHOOLS

The last 12 months have been particularly important in increasing our engagement with schools through the new School Direct initiative. The introduction of this new approach to teacher training saw an end to the Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP) and the introduction of School Direct, a model in which schools take greater ownership of, and responsibility for, the training of teachers.

12 Canterbury Christ Church University SHAPING THE FUTURE OF NEONATAL CARE IN VIETNAM

Academics based at the Medway Campus, recently introduced the first Neonatal Nursing course in Vietnam.

Sponsored by the UK registered charity Newborns Vietnam, the 18-month course for qualified Vietnamese nurses at Da Nang Hospital for Women and Children started in March 2013.

In partnership with the charity, the hospital, Da Nang National Technical College of Medicine II and Da Nang Department of Health, 26 nurses at Da Nang Hospital for Women and Children are receiving face-to-face lectures and practical sessions delivered by Christ Church academics, benefitting from ‘live’ learning at a distance with content simultaneously translated into Vietnamese by a medically qualified interpreter.

Debra Teasdale, Dean of the Faculty of Health and Social Care, said: “We believe this is a first for a UK university and we are really proud to be leading on such a critical project of change which will benefit nurses, infants and their families in Vietnam.”

Dr Nguyen Khac Minh, Dean of the National Technical College of Medicine II, said: “I am delighted to lead this partnership programme for the Ministry of Health and to be at the forefront of developing neonatal nurse training in Vietnam.”

Dr Le Thi Thanh Xuan, Vice Director of the Da Nang Hospital for Women and Children, added: “This training will support the Da Nang neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to fulfill our mission to be a centre of regional excellence, and will help raise standards of care in central Vietnam.”

Suzanna Lubran, Newborns Vietnam Trustee, said: “This partnership is a unique opportunity to support the development of newborn care in Vietnam and is an important first step towards a national neonatal programme. “The first session, aimed at developing the nursing guidelines template, was just incredible – we saw our nurses questioning Christ Church staff, debating the condition of babies, and demonstrating such a hunger for knowledge. Their passion and desire to learn is so rewarding. “We have made a good start and we believe this training is going to make a significant difference to neonatal care in this country.”

Sue Kendall-Seatter, Director of International Partnerships and Development, said: “We are very keen to provide an international experience for all of our students and staff and the Japan Day was a good example of an exchange of cultural ideas and experiences which captured the imagination of the many who visited Augustine House that day.”

Whilst the Japanese students were visiting the UK, they lodged with Home Stay families in order to have an authentic local experience, and they visited regional cultural attractions such as Dover Castle, Canterbury Cathedral and London.

28 Canterbury Christ Church University HERITAGE LOTTERY FUND PROJECT CAPTURING SEASIDE HERITAGE

A unique collection of seaside images featured in a public exhibition over the summer, organised by academics at Canterbury Christ Church University.

The Heritage Lottery-funded South East Archive of Seaside photography (SEAS) is directed by Dr Karen Shepherdson, Principal Lecturer in Photography.

The two-year project focuses on the use of The Sunbeam photographic collection which consist of glass plate and film negatives dating from 1920 to the mid 1970s, together with a collection of commercial seaside photographs and ‘walkies’.

Dr Karen Shepherdson said: “My leadership of SEAS is underpinned by a belief and value in the importance of UK seaside culture and that documentation of this culture (in this instance the photographic) is of significant heritage value.

“I am thrilled by the images emerging from the archive and the associated stories we are uncovering. These cannot remain hidden in store cupboards with little or no public access – SEAS is endeavouring to bring them into the light, to share their delights and to enrich this resource still further.”

The collection of images is owned by Thanet District Council and is usually housed in Margate Museum, but for the purpose of digital archiving they have been moved to Canterbury Christ Church University.

32 Canterbury Christ Church University WILDLIFE SURVEY CELEBRATES THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CANTERBURY UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE

Students and staff at the University undertook the first complete habitat survey of the Canterbury UNESCO World Heritage Site over the summer, in celebration of its 25th anniversary.

The site includes the Cathedral, St Augustine’s Abbey and the Anglo-Saxon Church of St Martin, as well as parts of the University’s North Holmes Road Campus which sit in the former outer precinct of St Augustine’s Abbey.

This survey of the internationally significant site and its surrounding buffer zone has identified a large number of small but valuable pocket habitats that are an important part of Canterbury’s ‘green infrastructure’. Some of these pocket habitats have already been developed, for example, as wildflower areas. The survey will allow the various stakeholders to identify new areas for conservation and development.

The survey is part of the Christ Church Bioversity initiative which involves the creation of an urban biodiversity hub centred on the World Heritage Site. It was undertaken by student interns under the direction of staff in the Ecology Research Group (ERG) of the Department of Geographical and Life Sciences.

The students, David Powley and Harriett Moore, are both studying Geography at Canterbury Christ Church University and have developed significant expertise in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as part of their studies. These skills were used to produce a computer based map of the whole site, with electronic links to target information about each habitat type.

Professor Peter Vujakovic, Head of Geographical and Life Sciences at the University and our Bioversity initiative lead, said: “This is an important first step towards developing a biodiversity action plan for our campus, and eventually for the World Heritage Site as a whole. The University’s Bioversity project is innovative in its attempt to link culture, heritage and nature into its approach to sustainability.”
