Agenda Item City and County of Cardiff Dinas a Sir AGENDA ITEM CITY AND COUNTY OF CARDIFF DINAS A SIR CAERDYDD CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE SCRUTINY COMMITTEE 6 NOVEMBER 2007 Cardiff 14-19 Network Annual Development Plan Background 1. At its meeting of 8th May 2007, the Committee received a report on items to be included in the Committee’s work programme for the forthcoming municipal year. Following consideration of the many issues concerning Children and Young People, Members agreed to receive a report on the Cardiff 14 – 19 Network’s Annual Network Development Plans. 2. The 14-19 Network in Cardiff has a statutory duty to produce an Annual Network Development Plan for submission to the National Assembly for Wales. The Cardiff 14-19 Network has completed the delivery of its plan for 2006/ 2007 and received approval for the 2007/2008 plan. The 2008/2009 plan is being developed and will be submitted for approval to the National Assembly for Wales by 31st January 2008. Purpose of the Report 3. The purpose of this report is to provide Members with an opportunity to receive verbal briefing on the development of the 2008-09 plan together with details of the Network’s progress in achieving the actions identified in the 2007 – 2008 plan (attached at Appendix 1). 4. The Council’s Single Education Plan 2006-2008 includes as a key strategy “To establish, with schools and key partners, the organisational, leadership, curriculum, information and pastoral arrangements which will deliver an entitlement for all 14 – 19 year olds in Cardiff to be offered a broader range of learning opportunities that will increase levels of participation and achievement, reduce significantly the number of pupils leaving school at 16 without a recognised qualification and increase participation post-16” 5. In addition the Single Education Plan sets out the following key actions : • Consult on and implement the outcomes of the 14 – 19 assignment considering the best partnership model to deliver 14 – 19 Learning Pathways in Cardiff • Support the implementation of the Network’s 14-19 action plan for 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 following approval by the Welsh Assembly Government. • Implement the relevant aspects of the 14 – 19 action plan which involve: developing the involvement of young people in decision- making and in the provision of information; updating information about the learning opportunities in ways which appeal to young people and their parents; developing support for learners, covering advice about learning pathways, careers advice and personal advice and guidance through involvement in piloting national and local initiatives; working with Careers Wales to develop its on line service to meet the information and support needs of all young people aged 14-19. 6. The Plan also sets out a number of key factors in the delivery of the 14 – 19 Learning Pathways, namely by: – Defining students’ curriculum entitlement – Accepting that no institution can provide on its own – Placing students’ interests at the centre; all institutions accepting corporate responsibility to deliver – Establishing partnership arrangements between schools, Colleges and other providers which will deliver entitlement over a measurable period of time 7. Councillor Bill Kelloway, Executive Member for Education and Lifelong Learning may make a statement, Chris Jones; Chief Schools and Lifelong Learning Officer, Robert Hopkins, OM Management Standards and School Effectiveness and John Fabes, the Cardiff 14-19 Network co-ordinator, will present the report and be available to answer any questions Members may have.

Context Foreword by the Minister Extract from the Ministerial Foreword, Learning Pathways I4-19 Guidance II. 0ur goal remains that: "95 per cent of young people by the age of 25 will be ready for high skilled employment or higher education by 2015." To achieve this we seek nothing less through Learning Pathways than the transformation of young people's options and opportunities. We are extending choice and flexibility; securing individually tailored learning pathways that meet learners’ needs; and providing richer opportunities and experiences that will help learners develop the wider skills they need for life and work. This is backed up by a unique blend of support that will ensure that all learners have the advice and guidance they need to make good choices and to overcome barriers to learning. The transformation of 14-19 provision for all learners requires the achievement of a balance between national and local developments. We will continue to work closely with our local partners, drawing on their knowledge and experience in supporting national policy. This depends on 14-19 Networks in each local authority area developing a genuine collaborative and strategic approach to the implementation of Learning Pathways. This is an important time in the development of the Learning Pathways agenda. The successful implementation of Learning Pathways also depends on re-alignment of existing provision and funding to complement the extra resources. Page 3 2. History and Geographic Profile The most recent and comprehensive description of Cardiff in relation to education, training, skills, employment, achievement and present and future economic developments is that presented within the Capital Learning (CCET) annual report. The introduction to that report is provided below. It’s main omission is that of reference to the new MoD development at St. Athans which will only add impetus to many of the areas of the economy described in the report especially construction, future training needs and heightened demand in the retail and service sectors. ABOUT CARDIFF Cardiff is the largest local authority in Wales and undisputedly the region’s economic engine for growth. Its population estimate in 2005 was 319,700 1 - a 5% growth since 1993, making Cardiff one of the fastest growing cities in Europe. Young people (15-24yrs) account for 23.2% of the city’s population (appreciably higher than the Welsh average at 19%), attracted to the city by its world class higher education facilities and by its buoyant economy 2. According to the 2001 census, there are 127,500 households in Cardiff of which 69% are owner-occupied. Of the remainder, 17% are in the social rented sector and 13% are in the private rented sector. Approximately 8% of the local population come from minority ethnic communities. Economy In the period between 1991 and 2003 Cardiff’s economy grew by 19.4%, with employment levels increasing by 1.2% between 2002 and 2003, higher than that across Great Britain (0.5%) but slightly lower than that across Wales (1.6%). The total number of employed people in Cardiff in 2003, including those self-employed, stood at 178,250. Cardiff (with the Vale of Glamorgan) has also performed very well in terms of Gross Value Added – GVA - (formerly known as Gross Domestic Product – GDP) which, between 1995 to 2002, rose by 53.3% per head. This is significantly higher than the average Welsh performance (32.6%) and Great Britain (41.8%) over the same period 3. Cardiff has experienced full employment in recent years , but although the claimant count resident based unemployment rates fell from 2.7% to 2.4% 2 between January 2004 – 5, it started to climb in 2006 up to 2.5%4. However, this city-wide statistic hides pockets of much higher unemployment. Thus, and for example, the so-called ‘southern arc’ of the city registers an unemployment rate of 3.8% which is comparable with the worst in Wales.

Having considered all the submitted documents provided by Cardiff County Council under Regulation 15, we acknowledge the amount of work undertaken by the authority to reach this stage, including the regional collaborative working which we commend. We are aware that the authority has been involved in seeking out solutions and good practice as a member of the South East Wales LDP Pathfinder Group. We support the proposed preferred strategy in principle. The level of growth is considered to be reasonable in the light of Welsh Government projections and the supporting evidence, and the need to enable Cardiff to fulfil its role as the centre of the city region. We acknowledge the brownfield / greenfield split as reasonable and appropriate and recognise that there are significant environmental and capacity issues, including flood risk, best and most versatile agricultural land loss, infrastructure (including transport) requirement, and SSSI loss, when considering the scale of growth proposed. Clearly it will be essential to continue to develop the required robust evidence base to support the deposit LDP and evidence deliverability. It is vital that you maintain your current momentum and progress to deposit in accordance with the agreed Delivery Agreement timetable.

Consultation on the strategy will run for six weeks from 16 October to 27 November 2007. This consultation is an important stage in the preparation of the plan and offers everyone with an interest in the future development of Cardiff an opportunity to influence the plan before the Council finalises its proposals. The Cardiff Local Development Plan (or LDP for short) is the Council’s key land use planning document. It will set out policies and proposals for the future development and use of land in Cardiff up to 2021, in line with legislative requirements. When adopted it will replace the existing structure and local plans for the city and form the basis for decisions on individual planning applications. The LDP will therefore provide a measure of certainty about what kinds of development will be permitted and where during the plan period. The LDP will support the vision for Cardiff, set out in the Community Strategy, as a world class European capital city with an exceptional quality of life and at the heart of a competitive city region.

  • London Leads UK Cities in Economic Recovery
    Article London leads UK cities in economic recovery Following the publication of regional Gross Value Added (income approach), this article focuses on the economic performance of the largest UK cities. We compare the cities’ annual GVA growth from 2013 to 2014, and also the longer term growth since the low- point of the recent economic downturn in 2009. For each city covered we identify the industries mostly responsible for driving this change. Contact: Release date: Next release: Trevor Fenton 9 December 2015 To be announced [email protected] Table of contents 1. Introduction 2. London and Manchester 3. Other major UK cities 4. Background notes 5. Annex A: Local Authorities covered by the city areas used in this article Page 1 of 8 1. Introduction Since 2009, the low point of the UK’s recent economic downturn, London has seen the strongest growth in gross value added (GVA) of the major UK cities, increasing by 28.9% over the five years to 2014. Most other major UK cities have also shown growth over this period, though to a lesser extent. Greater Manchester increased by 15.2% from 2009 to 2014. The latest regional GVA figures published today by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show how the economic activity in regions, counties and cities of the UK has changed between 1997 and 2014. In this article we look at the performance of some of the largest cities in the UK, defined according to the European NUTS system. Some of these areas do not match the regions that are being established for the new City Deals, as these new administrative regions are still evolving independently of existing standards.

Signed …………………………………………………………. (candidate) Date … August 5, 2013……………… ii Thesis Summary The aim of this thesis is to understand how the actions and the motivations of the Polish migrants who entered the United Kingdom post-2004 have evolved throughout their migration period using the concept of migration trajectories. The existing literature on Polish migrants in the United Kingdom after enlargement points to these migrants being solely economic actors, relying on their economic motivations to dictate their actions throughout their entire migration. Using data collected in 2008 and 2011 in Cardiff, Wales, this thesis seeks to highlight the range of complex motivations held by Polish migrants over time. As the data collection period coincided with the global recession, the impact of the recession on the migrants’ motivations was also taken into account.

  • City and County of Cardiff Dinas a Sir Caerdydd
    CITY AND COUNTY OF CARDIFF DINAS A SIR CAERDYDD COMMITTEE OF THE COUNCIL 19 July 2001 CABINET PROPOSAL AGENDA ITEM: Cabinet Policy Statement: Ambitions For Cardiff Background 1. Due to the onset of the general election campaign, no Lord Mayor’s Address was delivered at the Annual Meeting of the County Council on 10 May 2001. It is still important to outline the Administration’s priorities and policy agenda, particularly in the view of the new government’s manifesto commitments. 2. Consequently, I am proposing Cabinet agrees the attached statement on the Administration’s policy commitments and aspirations until 2004 (ie. the lifetime of this Administration). Follow-up statements will be published annually to take account of legislative, budgetary and other developments. Issues 3. The Administration’s believes that the current agenda for Cardiff should address the following strategic issues: · Wales and Europe; · Social Inclusion and Neighbourhood Renewal; · Strong Communities; · Education and Lifelong Learning; · Enterprise and Economic Growth; · Environment and Health; · Culture and Sport; · Transport; · Modern Local Government. Page 1 of 3 4. The budget-setting process already provides resources to contribute towards addressing our priorities during 2001-2002. Further details of the Council’s programme for 2002-2004 will be reflected in the Cabinet Policy Statements of 2002 and 2003 respectively. Page 2 of 3 ADVICE This report has been prepared in consultation with Corporate Managers and reflects their collective advice. It contains all the information necessary to allow Members to arrive at a reasonable view, taking into account the advice contained in this section.

  • City and County of Cardiff Dinas a Sir Caerdydd
    CITY AND COUNTY OF CARDIFF DINAS A SIR CAERDYDD CABINET : 17 MARCH 2000 Portfolio : Regeneration Report for : Decision ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2000/2001 AGENDA ITEM 13 Background 1. An annual Economic Development Plan setting out its economic development proposals for the year ahead including relevant expenditure and income is a statutory duty under the Local Government and Housing Act 1989. The Plan requires Council approval before the 31 March each year in order to ensure that economic development expenditure for the subsequent financial year can be undertaken lawfully. 2. Authorities have the power and duty to consult appropriately with the local business community on their proposals in advance of the Council’s approval of the Plan Issues 3. The production of the Plan is a welcome opportunity for the Council to realign its commitment to economic regeneration by mapping out its aims, ideas and spending proposals on economic development initiatives for the coming financial year within an economic and policy context. 4. Following the Council’s current major political and structural reorganisation, the Plan can now be used to reposition economic development and regeneration to make a consistent and concerted impact on the future prosperity of Cardiff. In particular, we would want to ensure that the ethos of this and future Plans reflects the principle aims of the new Authority to work in partnership, openly, collectively, and through proper and meaningful consultation. 5. It has been recognised that tremendous inroads have been made into establishing Cardiff as a dynamic European Capital City. The work of the Development and European Affairs Service will seek to build on this success through the development of economic, business and policy initiatives.
