  • A Short Guide: the NAO's Work on HM Treasury
    1 The NAO’s work on HM Treasury A ShoRT GUIDE The NAO’s work on HM Treasury June 2010 2 The NAO’s work on HM Treasury Our vision is to help the nation spend wisely. We apply the unique perspective of public audit to help Parliament and government drive lasting improvement in public services. The National Audit Office scrutinises public spending on behalf of Parliament. The Comptroller and Auditor General, Amyas Morse, is an Officer of the House of Commons. He is the head of the National Audit Office which employs some 900 staff. He and the National Audit Office are totally independent of Government. He certifies the accounts of all Government departments and a wide range of other public sector bodies; and he has statutory authority to report to Parliament on the economy, efficiency and effectiveness with which departments and other bodies have used their resources. Our work leads to savings and other efficiency gains worth many millions of pounds: £890 million in 2009-10.

Abstract Zinc finger motifs are distributed amongst many eukaryotic protein families, directing nucleic acid–protein and protein–protein interactions. Zinc finger protein 106 (ZFP106) has previously been associated with roles in immune response, muscle differentiation, testes development and DNA damage, although little is known about its specific function.

    Oxfordshire County Council Pupil Place Plan 2019-2023 November 2019 For 2019/20, the DfE has approved a change in primary school planning areas for Oxfordshire. Several of the previous planning areas have been subdivided into smaller areas, to support more detailed planning. This Pupil Place Plan is structured according to the larger areas – e.g. “Abingdon” – but comments have been made relating to the smaller sub-areas – e.g. “Abingdon East” – where appropriate. Pupil forecasts at sub-area level have been provided in the Annex. The list of schools starting on page 43 indicates which planning area each is in. The detailed data section starting on page 53 also indicates which planning area each is in, where this is relevant. Contents 1.

  • Oxfordshire Schools Training Evaluation Report July 2017
    Oxfordshire Schools Training Evaluation report July 2017 Image by Olivia Burt and Mimi Morley Iszatt “Great training, very sensitively handled with good resources.” Teacher, Oxford primary school “Huge thank you. Clear simple message. Confident presentation gives me confidence to talk about FGM too.” Teacher, Oxfordshire college Author: Kate Clayton-Hathway, Research Director, Oxford Against Cutting [email protected] © Oxford Against Cutting, 2017 2 | P a g e "Safeguarding training for school staff is a top priority for Oxford Against Cutting as children spend significantly more time at school than in other public settings. Our aim is to support school staff across the county to feel confident supporting girls at risk and survivors of FGM. We would also like to see more schools tackling this subject in the classroom, especially schools with significant numbers of students from FGM-affected communities". Kate Agha, Executive Director, Oxford Against Cutting Introduction Oxford Against Cutting (OAC) is an Oxford-based charity committed to working to help prevent female genital mutilation (FGM) of girls and women living in Oxfordshire. Between September 2016 and February 2017, OAC provided FGM-awareness training for 152 staff, 90 year-7 students and around 200 year-10 and 11 students representing 22 schools and colleges. The staff training sessions were led by OAC Executive Director, Kate Agha, supported by either MbaKaddy Touray Jarju (OAC Director) or Lena El-hindi (OAC Capacity Building and Training Specialist). OAC training is co-facilitated by a member of an FGM-affected community and many delegates have commented that this makes our training very powerful, helping them to understand FGM as a reality rather than an academic subject.

  • Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet
    Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet Introduction Oxfordshire County Council has a legal duty to coordinate road works across the county, including those undertaken by utility companies. As part of this duty we can designate certain streets as ‘traffic-sensitive’, which means on these roads we can better regulate the flow of traffic by managing when works happen. For example, no road works in the centre of Henley-on-Thames during the Regatta. Sensitive streets designation is not aimed at prohibiting or limiting options for necessary road works to be undertaken. Instead it is designed to open-up necessary discussions with relevant parties to decide when would be the best time to carry out works. Criteria For a street to be considered as traffic sensitive it must meet at least one of the following criteria as set out in the table below: Traffic sensitive street criteria A The street is one on which at any time, the county council estimates traffic flow to be greater than 500 vehicles per hour per lane of carriageway, excluding bus or cycle lanes B The street is a single carriageway two-way road, the carriageway of which is less than 6.5 metres wide, having a total traffic flow of not less than 600 vehicles per hour C The street falls within a congestion charges area D Traffic flow contains more than 25% heavy commercial vehicles E The street carries in both directions more than eight buses per hour F The street is designated for pre-salting by the county council as part of its programme of winter maintenance G The street is within 100 metres of a critical signalised junction, gyratory or roundabout system H The street, or that part of a street, has a pedestrian flow rate at any time of at least 1300 persons per hour per metre width of footway I The street is on a tourist route or within an area where international, national, or significant major local events take place.

  • UK EDP Inventory Update October 2011
    EDP Consolidated Inventory of sources and methods United Kingdom October 2011 Introduction In the UK the General Government (GG) sector is composed of Central Government (CG), S.1311, and Local Government (LG), S.1313. The Social Security Fund is not separated from the CG accounts at this time. EDP data for LG is based mainly on returns from local authorities, supplemented by administrative data. Data for Central Government comes from government administration sources, mainly involving information available from departmental accounting systems. HM Treasury (the UK’s Ministry of Finance) collects data quarterly from its Combined On-line Information System (COINS) on an accruals basis, there is generally good counterpart data available. The administrative reporting systems have been designed to produce data on a National Accounts basis. The UK’s Central Bank (the Bank of England) also supplies some data for CG and LG on an accruals basis. Measurements of Government debt and deficit are the joint responsibility of the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and HM Treasury. The ONS calculates completed years and HM Treasury forecasts future years. Classification of bodies to GG and its sub-sectors is the sole responsibility of the ONS, which follows the European System of Accounts (ESA95) in making its decisions. Classification decisions are made through the National Accounts Classification Committee (NACC). Central Government (S.1311) includes all administrative departments of the State and other central agencies whose competence extends normally over the whole economic territory. Regional Health Authorities and National Health Service (NHS) Trusts are considered to be Central Government. The devolved administrations for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are currently included within Central Government.

  • The Social Structure, Ecology and Pathogens of Bats in the UK
    The Social Structure, Ecology and Pathogens of Bats in the UK Submitted by Thomas Adam August to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biological Sciences In September 2012 This thesis is available for library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other university. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 2 Dedicated to the memory of Charles William Stewart Hartley 3 4 Abstract This thesis examines the ecology, parasites and pathogens of three insectivorous bat species in Wytham Woods, Oxfordshire; Myotis nattereri (Natterer’s bat), M. daubentonii (Daubenton’s bat) and Plecotus auritus (Brown long-eared bat). The population structure was assessed by monitoring associations between ringed individuals, utilising recent advances in social network analysis. Populations of both M. daubentonii and M. nattereri were found to subdivide into tight-knit social groups roosting within small areas of a continuous woodland (average minimum roost home range of 0.23km2 and 0.17km2 respectively). If this population structure is a general attribute of these species it may make them more sensitive to small scale habitat change than previously thought and has implications for how diseases may spread through the population. M. daubentonii had a strong preference for roosts close to water, away from woodland edge and in areas with an easterly aspect.
