  • Haessly, Katie (2010) British Conservative Women Mps
    British Conservative Women MPs and ‘Women’s Issues’ 1950-1979 Katie Haessly, BA MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2010 1 Abstract In the period 1950-1979, there were significant changes in legislation relating to women’s issues, specifically employment, marital and guardianship and abortion rights. This thesis explores the impact of Conservative female MPs on these changes as well as the changing roles of women within the party. In addition there is a discussion of the relationships between Conservative women and their colleagues which provides insights into the changes in gender roles which were occurring at this time. Following the introduction the next four chapters focus on the women themselves and the changes in the above mentioned women’s issues during the mid-twentieth century and the impact Conservative women MPs had on them. The changing Conservative attitudes are considered in the context of the wider changes in women’s roles in society in the period. Chapter six explores the relationship between women and men of the Conservative Parliamentary Party, as well as men’s impact on the selected women’s issues. These relationships were crucial to enhancing women’s roles within the party, as it is widely recognised that women would not have been able to attain high positions or affect the issues as they did without help from male colleagues. Finally, the female Labour MPs in the alteration of women’s issues is discussed in Chapter seven. Labour women’s relationships both with their party and with Conservative women are also examined.

  • OSA Determination ADA3367: Waldegrave School 27 September
    DETERMINATION Case reference: ADA3367 Objector: A parent, carer or other person with parental responsibility for a child who will be the right age to join the school in September 2019. Admission Authority: The Waldegrave Trust for Waldegrave School, Richmond Date of decision: 27 September 2018 Determination In accordance with section 88H(4) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, I partially uphold the objection to the admission arrangements for September 2019 determined by the governing board of Waldegrave School on behalf of the Waldegrave Trust for Waldegrave School, in the London Borough of Richmond. I have also considered the arrangements in accordance with section 88I(5) and find there are other matters which do not conform to the requirements relating to admission arrangements in the ways set out in this determination. By virtue of section 88K(2) the adjudicator’s decision is binding on the admission authority. The School Admissions Code requires the admission authority to revise its admission arrangements within two months of the date of the determination, or such other date specified by the adjudicator. The arrangements must be revised within two months of the date of this determination to ensure that the boundaries of the catchment area and the location of the dividing line between Areas A and B are made clear to parents. If this is done by way of a map, the map must be published as part of the admission arrangements. The arrangements for admission to the sixth form must be revised with effect from 28 February 2019 to ensure that they comply with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010 and paragraphs 1.1 and 1.8 of the Code.

In a variety of ways a wide range of stakeholders has been consulted regularly since the inception of this proposal in December 2011 including: prospective parents; local residents, businesses and community groups; local primary schools and pre-school settings and the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames (LBRuT), the local MP and ward councillors. 2. The consultation has been carried out in two phases. The initial phase from December 2011 to October 2012 and the Statutory Consultation from 2 November 2012 to 21 December 2012. 3. Stakeholders have responded very positively throughout both phases of the consultation. Suggestions and comments have been considered, responded to, and, where appropriate, incorporated into planning. 1. INITIAL PHASE 1. The initial consultation period ran from December 2011 to October 2012. 2. Methods used to reach stakeholders included: distributing over 3000 consultation leaflets, a website, a Facebook page, 20 email newsletters and many meetings including three public drop-in information sessions (104 total attendance). 3.
