This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’.

  • Working Together to Tackle Climate Change ‘You’Re Never Too Young to Make a Difference’ Youth Voice Summit: 12Th February 2020
    Appendix 1 Working together to tackle Climate Change ‘You’re never too young to make a difference’ Youth Voice Summit: 12th February 2020 Summary Event Report 1 Background to the event Since 2016, the Voice, Influence and Change team have hosted a series of “Youth Voice Summit” events for young people in Leeds to come together to work with local decision makers on an issue that is important to them. For 2020, the theme was “Tackling Climate Change”. This was to reflect: 1. Young People across the country voting “Tackling Climate Change” as their top issue in the 2019 annual UK Youth Parliament “Make Your Mark” ballot 2. Leeds City Council formally declaring a ‘climate emergency’ in March 2019 3. The growing youth-led “Strike4Climate” movement in cities around the world, including here in Leeds The Voice, Influence and Change Team worked in partnership with the Leeds City Council Health and Wellbeing Service to plan and deliver the event. The day was split into three sequential workshops that were designed to enable students to consider climate change from a broad philosophical perspective before having the opportunity to take part in a Q&A panel and then finally working together to devise and develop practical solutions to lower the carbon footprint of their school communities. Their solutions are to be used in Leeds City Council guidance that will be issued to schools. Consultation and marketplace stalls Having such a large and diverse range of young people in one place provided a great opportunity for other services to deliver their own consultation and engagement work during the break times.

    Report author: Elizabeth Richards Tel: 87235 Report of Director of Children and Families Report to Executive Board Date: 24 June 2020 Subject: Outcome of consultation and request to approve funding to permanently increase learning places at Leeds West Academy from September 2022 Are specific electoral wards affected? Yes No If yes, name(s) of ward(s): Bramley & Stanningley Has consultation been carried out? Yes No Are there implications for equality and diversity and cohesion and Yes No integration? Will the decision be open for call-in? Yes No Does the report contain confidential or exempt information? Yes No If relevant, access to information procedure rule number: Appendix number: Summary 1. Main issues This report contains details of a proposal brought forward by The White Rose Academies Trustees, working in partnership with Leeds City Council, to meet the local authority’s duty to ensure sufficiency of school places. The changes that are proposed form prescribed alterations under Department for Education advice for academy trusts, Making Significant Changes to an Open Academy (November 2019). For prescribed alterations for maintained schools the Local Authority would be the decision maker, but for expansions relating to Academies the Trust Board is the decision maker with regards to the proposal. However, as the scheme is being funded by the Local Authority, Executive Board would need to grant provisional approval for authority to spend (ATS) to deliver the proposed permanent expansion at Leeds West Academy. A consultation on a proposal to expand Leeds West Academy from a capacity of 1200 to 1500 students by increasing the admission number in year 7 from 240 to 300 with effect from September 2022 took place between 27 January and 1 March 2020.

  • Our Ref: 0980/19 I Am Sending This Request Under the Freedom Of
    Our ref: 0980/19 I am sending this request under the Freedom of Information Act on Tuesday February 12th 2019 to ask for the following information about knife possession offences broken down by age, gender and year. (I am most interested in people under 18 carrying knives). Please provide the following information: 1. The number of knife / bladed instrument possession offences for a) 2014 b) 2015 c) 2016 d) 2017 e) 2018 f) please provide a breakdown by gender. 2. For the same time period and giving the figures for each year - how many of those offenders were under 18? Please include: a) the exact age for each person under 18. b) the gender of each person under 18. c) whether the offender was caught carrying a knife or bladed object on school / educational premises? If possible, please provide the name of the school / establishment. d) A breakdown by sentence / punishment – i.e. people cautioned, reprimanded or convicted. My report is focusing on the number of women under 18 caught carrying knifes. So the gender breakdown is really important, as are the exact ages for those caught who are under 18. If including convictions is an over cost response – then omit those from your response and proceed with this amended request. Please see the attached tables which contain the requested information. West Yorkshire Police are committed to prosecuting anyone found to be possessing or using a knife or firearm. The work of our partners and community based projects is important, as is the vigilance of families who believe one of their relatives may carry weapons.
