  • People, Places and Policy
    People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography.

  • BREXIT at a GLANCE... What Happened This Week
    BREXIT AT A GLANCE... Weekly news, views and insights from the Welsh NHS Confederation Friday, 21 June Please cascade information where appropriate to your workforce and care providers What Happened This Week... This week has been busy, both in terms of our work to support members and of course all the developments in the Tory Leadership race. This week we attended the Cardiff University’s Wales Governance Centre Brexit and Devolution event. The event marked the two-year anniversary of the publication ‘Brexit and Devolution’ and it was an opportunity for the Institute for Government, Counsel General and Brexit Minister Jeremy Miles, and a panel of industry professionals to discuss how Brexit has and will change the context of Wales’ devolution within the larger UK context. In this event the Minster warned that a chaotic no deal Brexit threatens the future of the UK. We also attended the Welsh Government’s Health Social Services Brexit Communications meeting. During the meeting there was a discussion around how the communication cascade system that was introduced as part of the no- deal planning can be improved to better facilitate the spread of information to front line professionals and the public, especially when no-deal planning is reactivated. The Brexit Communications Plan will also be examined and updated to better reflect the current context and how things have changed since earlier in the year. We spent two days at Confed19, the annual NHS Confederation’s conference, in Manchester – which was a hit all round! There were lots of great speakers and the opportunity to meet with individuals doing great work across the Confederation and the NHS as a whole system.

  • The Involvement of the Women of the South Wales Coalfield In
    “Not Just Supporting But Leading”: The Involvement of the Women of the South Wales Coalfield in the 1984-85 Miners’ Strike By Rebecca Davies Enrolment: 00068411 Thesis submitted for Doctor of Philosophy degree at the University of Glamorgan February 2010. ABSTRACT The 1984-85 miners’ strike dramatically changed the face of the South Wales Valleys. This dissertation will show that the women’s groups that played such a crucial supportive role in it were not the homogenous entity that has often been portrayed. They shared some comparable features with similar groups in English pit villages but there were also qualitative differences between the South Wales groups and their English counterparts and between the different Welsh groups themselves. There is evidence of tensions between the Welsh groups and disputes with the communities they were trying to assist, as well as clashes with local miners’ lodges and the South Wales NUM. At the same time women’s support groups, various in structure and purpose but united in the aim of supporting the miners, challenged and shifted the balance of established gender roles The miners’ strike evokes warm memories of communities bonding together to fight for their survival. This thesis investigates in detail the women involved in support groups to discover what impact their involvement made on their lives afterwards. Their role is contextualised by the long-standing tradition of Welsh women’s involvement in popular politics and industrial disputes; however, not all women discovered a new confidence arising from their involvement. But others did and for them this self-belief survived the strike and, in some cases, permanently altered their own lives.

  • City and County of Cardiff Dinas a Sir Caerdydd
    CITY AND COUNTY OF CARDIFF DINAS A SIR CAERDYDD COMMITTEE OF THE COUNCIL 25 April 2002 CABINET PROPOSAL AGENDA ITEM: School Organisation Plan 2002-2007 Background 1. Section 26 of the School Standards and Framework Act requires each local education authority to prepare and adopt a School Organisation Plan for its area. School Organisation Plans inform the local education authority and others about the need to add or remove school places within the local authority area. They are also intended to help Local Authorities and others to take a strategic view of the planning of school places across their area. 2. The School Organisation Plan presents information relevant to a five-year period following its publication each year, and is subject to review and revision on an annual basis. 3. The School Organisation Plan 2002-2007 for Cardiff (Draft for Consultation) was published on 1 October 2001 and over 500 copies were circulated to Council Members, School Governing Bodies and Headteachers and a wide variety of individuals and organisations. It was also made available for inspection in Council offices. The consultation period ran between 1 October and 3 December 2001. Arising out of this, 18 responses were received. 4. The draft plan has built on the 2001-2006 School Organisation Plan, drawing together demographic and other statistical information relevant to the planning of school places, including information about the demand for schooling in the primary, secondary, sixth form and nursery sectors, in specially resourced schools and units and for pupils who are out of school.
