Justification for Areas of High Landscape Value
The South Tyneside Local Plan Justification for extending the High Landscape Value boundary southwards on the South Tyneside Coast and amendment to proposed Boldon Downhill Area of High Landscape Value (July 2019) 2 To find out more about the Local Plan, please contact: Spatial Planning Team Development Services South Tyneside Council Town Hall and Civic Offices, Westoe Road South Shields, Tyne & Wear NE33 2RL Telephone: (0191) 424 7688 E-mail: [email protected] Visit: www.southtyneside.info/planning If you know someone who would like this information in a different format contact the communications team on (0191) 424 7385 1.1 This paper provides evidence to support the extension of The Coast: Area of High Landscape Value as proposed in the draft Local Plan (2019). The justification has been provided by the Council’s Senior Landscape Architect. 1.2 The South Tyneside Landscape Character Study Part 3 (2012) argued the case for the original area of High Landscape Value along the coastline. The area of coast originally recommended for inclusion in the landscape designation ran from Trow Point to Whitburn Coastal Park (See Fig.1). The southern boundary has been drawn to include Whitburn Coastal Park, and followed the edge of the Shearwater housing estate. However, the boundary was drawn to exclude the coastline further south. 1.3 The Council feel that there is merit in extending the candidate Coast Area of High Landscape Value and that there is justification for the area south of Whitburn Coastal Park to City of Sunderland Boundary being included this within the proposed designation. -
Proposed College Merger Between HCUC (Harrow College & Uxbridge
Proposed College Merger between HCUC (Harrow College & Uxbridge College) and Richmond upon Thames College FAQs 1. Why is the merger being considered? The merger proposal emerged from a robust Structure and Prospects Appraisal undertaken by the governing body of Richmond upon Thames College in conjunction with the Government’s Further Education Commissioner. The recommendation of this appraisal was that RuTC should merge with Harrow College and Uxbridge College (HCUC) to create a sustainable college group. We are confident that by joining forces we will be able to do more for our learners, and the delivery of a high-quality learner experience is at the centre of our proposals. Both HCUC and RuTC are committed to ensuring that the benefits to learners increase as a result of this merger, including a shared prioritising of students achieving more, progressing further and being more work ready. Through the merger the colleges will be “Better Together – Stronger Together”. 2. What are the benefits of merging? • Learner Experience - Current and new students can expect a new college partnership which recognises their individuality and provides a responsive and inspiring programme of study that enables them to progress on to new learning opportunities, university, apprenticeships or employment and supports them in achieving their ambitions. There will be an enhanced offer to students across all colleges, greater learning opportunities and more progression routes. • Quality - Excellent teaching and learning that delivers outstanding outcomes for our learners is at the heart of this merger proposal. By joining forces, we will have the combined strength, expertise and resources to accelerate the achievement of improved standards and we will be able to implement a programme of rapid quality improvement. -
Open Letter to Address Systemic Racism in Further Education
BLACK FURTHER EDUCATION LEADERSHIP GROUP 5th August 2020 Open letter to address systemic racism in further education Open letter to: Rt. Hon. Boris Johnson, Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Gavin Williamson MP, Secretary of State for Education, funders of further education colleges; regulatory bodies & further education membership bodies. We, the undersigned, are a group of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) senior leaders, and allies, who work or have an interest in the UK further education (FE) sector. The recent #BlackLivesMatter (#BLM) global protest following the brutal murder of George Floyd compels us all to revisit how we address the pervasive racism that continues to taint and damage our society. The openness, solidarity and resolve stirred by #BLM is unprecedented and starkly exposes the lack of progress made in race equality since ‘The Stephen Lawrence Enquiry’. Against a background of raised concerns about neglect in healthcare, impunity of policing, cruelty of immigration systems – and in education, the erasure of history, it is only right for us to assess how we are performing in FE. Only by doing so, can we collectively address the barriers that our students, staff and communities face. The personal, economic and social costs of racial inequality are just too great to ignore. At a time of elevated advocacy for FE, failure to recognise the insidious nature of racism undermines the sector’s ability to fully engage with all its constituent communities. The supporting data and our lived experiences present an uncomfortable truth, that too many BAME students and staff have for far too long encountered a hostile environment and a system that places a ‘knee on our neck’. -
Designation of a Body for English Higher Education Information Government Consultation Response
Designation of a body for English higher education information Government consultation response January 2018 Contents Introduction 3 Summary of responses received 4 Main findings from the consultation 4 Question analysis 5 Questions 1-2 5 Question 3 6 Question 4 7 Next steps 8 Annex A: List of organisations that responded to the consultation 9 Annex B: HESA Expression of interest for the role of the DDB 13 2 Introduction In order to meet the relevant consultation requirements set out in the Higher Education and Research Act 2017 (HERA), the Department for Education, on behalf of the new Office for Students (OfS), sought views from respondents across the HE sector, including providers and students on the role of the Designated Data Body (DDB) and the functions that it must carry out. It followed an invitation for expressions of interest in the role which closed on 19 September, and to which one body, the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) provided a submission. The consultation, published 19 October 2017, therefore explored the views of respondents on the suitability of HESA to fulfil the role of the DDB, and on the suitability of any other organisation which consultees wished to suggest, but which had not expressed an interest. The responses to this consultation received both digitally and informal written responses are now informing the OfS’s recommendation to the Secretary of State on designating a data body and decision-making and design in relation to its regulatory framework, which will be published by the end of March 2018. 3 Summary of responses received Overall there was overwhelming support for the HESA as a body that is credible and suitable to fulfil the role of the DDB. -

Transport Policy Statement for Learners Aged 16-18 in Further Education and Continuing Learners Aged 19 and Over
Leicester City Council Education and Children’s Services Transport policy statement for learners aged 16-18 in further education and continuing learners aged 19 and over. Valid from: 1 August 2015 to 31 July 2016 1. Summary of Policy Statement and Main Objectives This document sets out the support available to young people of Leicester entering or continuing with full-time Post 16 Education to encourage participation and prevent transport being a barrier to young learners. It provides the most up to date details of charges and means testing procedures. It gives advice on the support available to learners with learning/mobility difficulties to encourage independent travel to and from the place of learning. 2. Details of concessionary fares. Leicester City Council – provision for mainstream learners A bus pass costing £425 is available for Leicester resident pupils over statutory school age if they live more than 3 miles but less than 20 miles from the school/college attended, and if the student is aged 16, 17 or 18 at the start of the college year. The pass allows travel on both First and Arriva buses to get to school/college. There are alternatives to the Leicester City Council Bus Pass. If you only need to use a bus from one operator, you could get better value in terms of price and flexibility by purchasing a season ticket directly from a commercial bus operator. Before you apply for a Leicester City Council bus pass we strongly urge you to consider all of the commercially available alternatives. Most commercially available season tickets allow you to travel at any time and on any day including weekends. -
