  • An Evaluation of Bristol Rais
    An evaluation of Bristol RAiS Layla Skinns, Natasha Du Rose and Mike Hough ICPR, King’s College London 26 February 2009 DRAFT Acknowledgements With thanks to all the staff and pupils at Bedminster, Brislington, Hartcliffe and Hengrove who participated in the research. Their perspectives were vital to the success of the evaluation. We are grateful to the staff at the local authority, in particular, Graham Knight, but also Matt Dowse and Paul Taylor, for their invaluable assistance with collating the necessary data. We would also like to thank Janet Clark the RAiS Project Manager for the advice and information she provided throughout the life of the project. Thanks too, to Sir Charles Pollard, Graham Robb and Nigel Whiskin, of Restorative Solutions, for inviting us to mount the evaluation and for their support over its course. Finally we are very grateful to the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, who funded the evaluation through Restorative Solutions. ii DRAFT Key findings Implementation • Senior Mangers in all four RAiS schools thought that restorative approaches (RAs) provided their school with a framework, more direction and gave momentum to things they were already trying to do. • There were two different approaches to implementing RAiS (i) whole-school (ii) pockets of RAs. • The quality of RAs was higher in schools using the whole-school approach in that there was greater adherence to the programme. • The ‘triad’ model (involving three staff members of different ranks and roles, regularly meeting with the Champion) was an important part of the implementation process. • Full use of support staff in the delivery of RAiS could be used to address staff concerns about not having enough time to implement the programme.

  • Sustrans Consultation Response
    Bristol Local Plan Sustrans consultation response Sustrans welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Local Plan Consultation and is pleased to see prominent references to the reliance on active and sustainable transport throughout the document to ensure that new development is low impact. However we have concerns about the integration between spatial and transport planning - it is currently unclear how the impacts of development will be mitigated. Whilst it is inevitable that development locations will dictate transport infrastructure requirements, it is unclear how development sites will respond should the necessary transport improvements prove to be unviable or unachievable. There is also a lack of clarity about the phasing of development and we would recommend that the Council needs to ensure that the transport infrastructure is in place for the larger development locations prior to their occupation to enable sustainable and active travel choices by new and existing residents. In this consultation response, we have commented on our preferences for development priorities with regard to sustainable transport. General Comments Promoting vs. Enabling We would like to see the replacement of any use of the word promote or encourage when used as a precursor to active travel (walking and cycling) with enable. Promotion and encouragement implies little or no physical change - a reference to ‘softer’ travel behaviour change techniques such as providing travel information of incentives. However, enabling active travel implies changes to the physical environment which removes people’s perception of danger from the existing road environment. Enabling measures would include traffic restrictions (volume and speed) in a residential environment and new high quality segregated walking and cycling infrastructure on the key road network.
