PLAQUE SCHEMES ACROSS ENGLAND Plaque schemes are listed below according to region and county, apart from thematic schemes which have a national remit. The list includes: the name of the erecting body (with a hyperlink to a website where possible); a note of whether the scheme is active, dormant, proposed or complete; and a link to an email contact where available. While not all organisations give details of their plaques on their websites, the information included on the register should enable you to contact those responsible for a particular scheme. In a few cases, plaques are described as ‘orphaned’, which indicates that they are no longer actively managed or maintained by the organisation that erected them. English Heritage is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.

  • Staffordshire PCC Appeal

    Staffordshire PCC Appeal

    BEFORE THE INFORMATION COMMISSIONER BETWEEN PRIVACY INTERNATIONAL Applicant - and - STAFFORDSHIRE POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER Respondent _______________________________ GROUNDS OF APPEAL _______________________________ I. Introduction and Summary 1. The Applicant is Privacy International, a registered UK charity, campaigning for the right to privacy. 2. On 1 November 2016, Privacy International wrote to the Staffordshire Police and Crime Commissioner (“PCC”), Home Office, National Police Chiefs Council, National Crime Agency, Metropolitan Police Service, South Yorkshire Police, Avon and Somerset PCC, Kent PCC, Warwickshire PCC, West Mercia PCC and West Midlands PCC requesting information about the purchase and use of mobile phone surveillance equipment by the police forces and the regulatory and oversight regime governing the use of such equipment. This equipment can be referred to using a range of terms, including “Covert Communications Data Capture” (“CCDC”) equipment, “IMSI Catchers”, “IMSI Grabbers”, “Cell site simulators” and “Stingrays”. In these grounds, this equipment is hereafter referred to as “IMSI Catchers”. Privacy International’s initial request to the Staffordshire PCC is annexed to these grounds as Exhibit A. 3. On 15 December 2017, Privacy International submitted grounds of appeal to the Commissioner, following the Staffordshire PCC’s failure to respond to the initial request for information. Those grounds are annexed to these grounds as Exhibit B. 4. On 8 January 2018, the Commissioner issued a decision notice finding that the Staffordshire PCC had breached sections 1(1) and 10(1) of the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) 2000 by failing “to provide a valid response to the request within 20 working days.” The Commissioner further directed the Staffordshire PCC “to comply with the request or to issue a valid refusal notice as set out in section 17” within 35 calendar days of the decision notice.

    South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit Information for Partners

    South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit article for partner websites and intranet The South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit is based at Shepcote Lane in Sheffield and is working across South Yorkshire to prevent and reduce violence. In South Yorkshire, we are taking a public health approach to preventing and reducing violence. This means that we look at the causes of violence, working in partnership to stop violence before it starts, halt the progression of violence once it has already begun and provide ways out for people already entrenched in violent behaviour. The following animation explains the public health approach to violence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZOEnCd6uiI&t=22s The South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit partnership is led by Dr Alan Billings, South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner and consists of: • Office of the South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner • South Yorkshire Police • Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council • Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council • Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council • Sheffield City Council • Public Health England • Barnsley Clinical Commissioning Group • Doncaster Clinical Commissioning Group • Rotherham Clinical Commissioning Group • Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group • National Probation Service • Community Rehabilitation Company • Department for Work and Pensions • Youth Offending Teams • Education sector representatives • Community, Faith and Voluntary sector representatives All partners are clear that community voices and ideas are central to preventing and reducing violence in South Yorkshire. We have voluntary and community sector representatives from across the four districts (Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield) working together and sitting on our Violence Reduction Executive Board. In addition to this, we want to ensure that we hear the voice of community members who are not often given the opportunity to be involved in processes from the very beginning.

The comparison of Census data from 2001 and 2011about the ethnic diversity of the Christian population, which is set out in this report, is one element of the work the Council for Christian Unity is doing with a variety of partners in this area. We are very pleased to be working with the Research and Statistics Department and the Committee for Minority Ethnic Anglican Affairs at Church House, and with Churches Together in England on a number of fronts. We hope that the set of eight reports, for each of the eight regions of England, will be a helpful resource for Church Leaders, Dioceses, Districts and Synods, Intermediate Ecumenical Bodies and local churches.
  • The Concept of Identity in the East Midlands of England NATALIE

    The Concept of Identity in the East Midlands of England NATALIE

    The Concept of Identity in the East Midlands of England NATALIE BRABER Investigating feelings of identity in East Midlands adolescents Introduction When considering dialectal variation in the UK, linguists have frequently considered the North/South divide and the linguistic markers separating the two regions (see for example Trudgill, 1999; Wells, 1986). But it has been noted that this is not a straightforward division (e.g. Beal, 2008; Goodey, Gold, Duffett & Spencer, 1971; Montgomery, 2007; Wales, 2002). There are clear stereotypes for the North and South – but how do areas like the East Midlands fit into the picture? The boundaries between North and South are defined in different ways. Beal’s linguistic North does not include the East Midlands (Beal, 2008: 124- 5), neither does Wales’ (2002: 48). Trudgill states that in traditional dialectology the East Midlands area falls under ‘Central’ dialects, which come under the ‘Southern’ branch, but in modern dialectology it falls in the ‘North’. Hughes, Trudgill and Watt (2005: 70) contains a map which has the East Midlands in the North. Linguistically, the question has been raised whether there is a clear North/South boundary (see for example Upton (2012) where it is proposed that it is a transition zone). This paper revisits this question from the point of view of young people living in the East Midlands, to examine their sense of identity and whether this cultural divide is salient to them. The East Midlands is a problematic area in its definition geographically, and people may have difficulty in relating this to their own sense of identity.
