The first survey asked the Hair and Beauty staff to assess their confidence of vocational skills. The second survey asked them to reflect on their TLA practice, this was based on the Education and Training Foundation Professional Standards survey.

In 1696 the family "came down from the Moors" and acquired Bowringsleigh (near West Alvington), one of the area's ancient estates, previously held by since 1332, by the Bowring family. They later became connected with two other large houses: Horsewell House and Quay House The Ilbert family grew in size, and in importance also - through marriages with, for example, in 1712, the Courtenays of Powderham. By 1772 one branch was living in Horsewell House, South Milton - from where a Mrs Ilbert is recorded as intervening in events following the shipwreck of a vessel called "Chantiloupe", and in 1789, Lt. Colonel Wm Ilbert built Quay House in Kingsbridge.

They served the local community as, for example, High Sheriff of Devon, Chairman of the Board of Guardians, the Magistrates'Court, and committee members of philantrophic associations....One Ilbert served in 1 India as the legal member of the Viceroys's council and on returning to England he became in 1903, clerk to the House of Commons.

  • Visit South Devon Group Travel Itinerary - Ashburton Ashburton Is a Lively Historical Town Nestled on the Southern Side of the Vast Dartmoor National Park
    Visit South Devon Group Travel Itinerary - Ashburton Ashburton is a lively historical town nestled on the southern side of the vast Dartmoor National Park. The highstreet is home to many galleries, book shops, a variety of eateries and lots of great antique shops making it the perfect place to while away a few hours. Things to see and do for groups in Ashburton Due to its location Ashburton is an ideal base for visitors interested in walking, canoeing, pony trekking and fishing. Its wonderful position on the edge of the moors also means that no trip to Ashburton would be complete without a trip to Dartmoor National Park where you can explore the diverse landscapes in this stunning area. History in Ashburton Ashburton's unique history is believed to have begun in Saxon times. Finds unearthed in the area date back as far as 3000BC, but there is no evidence of a settlement until 500BC. Its location was most likely chosen for its presence of tin which has shaped the towns history ever since. It was an important centre for the tin trade during the middle ages and in 1305 became one of the four official stannary towns which had special powers to assay the tin produced from the Dartmoor mines. Its importance as the main stannary town peaked in 1515 when nearly 40% of Devon's tin was sold through Ashburton. When the local tin, iron and woollen trades declined in the 17th Century, Ashburton made a living from passing trade on the main road from Exeter to Plymouth and many of the buildings you see today date from this period.

  • The Newsletter of Torbay Hospital League of Friends
    Autumn 2015 The Newsletter of Torbay Hospital League of Friends Critical Care Unit Appeal Launch In December last year the Torbay Hospital League of Friends embarked on its most ambitious project so far. That is to raise £1.6m to equip the new Critical Care Unit. The Appeal was launched at Bay View Restaurant, Torbay Hospital, where President Patricia Roberts welcomed members of the League and Volunteers, members of the South Devon Healthcare Trust as well as Colleen Smith from the Herald Express and Jennie Park from Palm FM. She said that today was a special occasion in the life of the League as it marked the first day of our “It’s Critical” Appeal to raise £1.6m to equip the new Critical Care Unit. She expressed her delight that the League was able to count on the support of both the Herald Express and Palm FM for help in raising this huge sum and said that they were both working very hard for the League. Lynne Hookings, one of the League Vice Presidents then introduced John Lowes the Interim Chief Executive for the Trust who spoke about the special relationship be- tween the League and the Hospital. He said that while Torbay was a very nice part of the world to work in it was the resources of the Hospital, en- hanced by the work of the League, which made Torbay Hospital that little bit special. He said that everyone knew the NHS was finding the Pounds and the Pennies hard to come by and it was great news that the League was Continued on Page 3 1 PresidentsPresidents ReportReport The National Health Service is high on the list of news at the moment with accounts of many Hospitals in trouble.

  • East Cornwall, South Devon and Dartmoor
    EAST CORNWALL, SOUTH DEVON AND DARTMOOR The geology between Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor, including part of South Devon comprises Carboniferous and Middle Devonian metasediments of sandstones, mudstones, black shales, cherts and volcanics, all of which have been subjected to thrusting. Into these has been intruded the Bodmin and Dartmoor mass, as well as satellite stocks of Kit Hill, Hingston/Gunnislake in Cornwall and Hemerdon in Devon. Within these sediments lie stratiform manganese silicate and carbonate deposits as well as indications of lead-zinc-copper volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits. The setting is similar to the Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB) in southern Spain and Portugal. Skarn deposits with mixed copper, zinc and arsenic sulphides, and one of which has tin silicates, have formed from the same volcano-sedimentary sequences and lie on the northern edge of the Dartmoor granite near Okehampton, inside the metamorphic aureole. The granite related main-stage mineralization ranges from large copper deposits on the south-eastern corner of the Bodmin granite around Minions to a tungsten-tin stockworks at Hemerdon to the southwest of the main Dartmoor mass; to tin, tin-iron progressing eastwards into iron deposits on Dartmoor as well as placer deposits of cassiterite and woframite on Bodmin Moor. On the East side of Datmoor in the Teign Valley occurs Pb,Zn, Ba, Ag, low temperature crosscourse mineralization. On the south coast of Devon near Torquay lies the epithermal gold-palladium occurrence at Hope’s Nose, hosted in Devonian limestones. East Cornwall (Bodmin Moor to Gunnislake) The geology of this area ranges from the granites of Bodmin Moor and the small outcrops of Kit Hill and Hingston Down/Gunnislake to Devonian and Carboniferous metasediments and volcanics.

These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
