Ageing Well By 2030 the number of people in the UK aged 60 or over is estimated to increase to 20 million. Older People’s Day, celebrated on 1 October each year celebrates the achievements and contributions that older people make to our society and aims to tackle negative attitudes and stereotypes. Adult social care funding The Local Government Association has published . The survey aimed to capture and represent the views of council leaders and portfolio holders for adult social care on the future of funding for adult social care, the future of the national initiatives for integration and the progress made on integration. The Department of Health and Social Care has announced an additional £240 million . The extra funding is aimed at reducing delayed transfers of care and will be allocated to councils based on the adult social care relative needs formula. Future Alzheimer’s treatment The RAND Corporation has published . Researchers examined the health systems of France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom to determine whether they have the capacity to rapidly move a disease-modifying treatment for Alzheimer's disease from approval into widespread clinical use. Additional links: | Healthy Places NHS England and Public Health England (PHE) are launching a series of winter campaigns under the slogan Help Us Help You. Acute care in smaller hospitals The Nuffield Trust has published . This report examines the problems associated with acute medicine in smaller hospitals and outlines new approaches for running acute medical services. It is intended to be a stimulus for local innovation and to dissuade the thought that the reconfiguration of services is the only solution to staffing and other challenges posed by running smaller hospitals in an increasingly complex health care landscape.

small that the choice of population base should not have a material effect on relative preferred shares. ACRA’s view is that the whole population aged under 5 should be used to reflect that the aim is to improve the health and well-being of all children aged under 5. There are two options for data on the number of children under 5 – the latest year for which ‘actual’ data are available (the mid-year estimates for 2014 should be available from ONS in summer 2015), or ONS projections for 2016 onwards for each local authority. ACRA propose to use the projected populations as these should be closer to the size of the cohort group in each year. The formula for public health allocations in 2013-14 and 2014-15 for the responsibilities which transferred to local authorities from April 2013 also used population projections. Population churn has also been raised as a possible factor to take into account, as there may be additional costs for new children arriving in an area. ACRA is currently not aware of evidence on the size of such costs. Question 1 : Should the population base be the projected number of under 5 year olds in each local authority? Question 2 : Should population churn be taken into account, and if so what are the higher costs imposed? Relative need per head In addition to universal services, resources for public health for 0-5 children are targeted towards families with higher need and vulnerable first time mothers. ACRA propose that there should be an adjustment for relatively higher need by some families for 0-5 children’s public health services, and that this adjustment is likely to be higher in more deprived areas. ACRA wish to undertake further work on what the adjustment should be. The four issues for an adjustment for relative need per head of the population base are: what measure to use; how to scale the measure; whether the measure should be at small area level to take account of differences in need within as well as between local authorities; what relative weights to assign to those areas for which the measure is higher and lower. ACRA is not aware of any evidence pointing to one particular indicator. The choice of indicator is likely to be a matter of judgement. Options that have been suggested include:

While there were only two (2) actual changes to the zoning map, first, the names of the districts and second, a correction of the zoning (granted by conditional use in 2007) of the proposed Avon Grove High School to Limited Industrial, a suggestion was made to expand the Limited Industrial Zone to the open area between the Route 1 Bypass and Baltimore Pike. Ordinances RS District – Minimum lot size should be 1.0 acre not 1.25 acres. Supervisors agree. RS District – Modular homes not addressed, only mobile homes. RS District – Questioning the definitions of “place of worship” and “personal communication service”. RA District – “Intensive farming” or “intensive agriculture” should not be a use by right but rather, by conditional use. Solicitor McMichael cautioned that this could be by Commonwealth law. Section 1501 – Revisit – “Conditional approval on accessory structure over 1000 Sq. Ft. This is a very small structure considering a maximum lot coverage of 25% and a minimum of 2 acres in an RA district. Size should be larger than 1000 sq. feet. It would barely be adequate to build a garage for an RV. “ Section 1501: A3 – “Setbacks for Accessory structures is set at 10 feet. Is this regardless of the size of the structure? The code as written with a conditional use permit for anything over 1000 sq. ft but does not indicate that there may be a different setback required for a larger building. That may be part of the conditional approval so it may not matter.” Section 1501: A4 -- A height restriction of 15 feet is very difficult to meet under several cases. Two personal examples shared were plans for a 2 acre property in an RA district as follows: “A structure capable of supporting a car lift which requires 12' 6" clear inside the building -- RV storage requires a 12' door which would require a 14' wall. Both are quite difficult to construct with a 15' height restriction forcing a requirement for basically a flat roof. This requirement would make it difficult to build a structure that is attractive and matching the house. Anything with a flat or very low pitch will look very utilitarian and industrial. I feel this is contrary to the entire reason for the changes to the zoning. It would make accessory buildings in the district look like warehouse structures versus looking like a barn or a nicer structure.” Re-evaluate “Co-housing”.

that is serious or significant as determined in accordance with guidelines issued by the Ombudsman; Note that paragraph (b) leads to another definition in s 3, being that of “corrupt conduct” – "corrupt conduct" means – (a) conduct of a person (whether or not a public officer) that adversely affects, or could adversely affect, either directly or indirectly, the honest performance of a public officer's or public body's functions; or (b) conduct of a public officer that amounts to the performance of any of his or her functions as a public officer dishonestly or with inappropriate partiality; or (c) conduct of a public officer, a former public officer or a public body that amounts to a breach of public trust; or (d) conduct of a public officer, a former public officer or a public body that amounts to the misuse of information or material acquired in the course of the performance of their functions as such (whether for the benefit of that person or body or otherwise); or (e) a conspiracy or attempt to engage in conduct referred to in , , or ; Note that, for the right of disclosure under s 6 to apply, the improper conduct (including corrupt conduct) must be serious or significant as determined in accordance with guidelines issued by the Ombudsman. The guidelines can be accessed at . Examples of “corrupt conduct” A public officer takes a bribe in exchange for the discharge of a public duty; a public officer favours unmeritorious applications for jobs or permits by friends and relatives; and a public officer sells confidential information. Examples of other types of “improper conduct” To avoid closure of a town’s only industry, an environmental health officer ignores or conceals evidence of illegal dumping of waste; an agricultural officer delays or declines imposing quarantine to allow a financially distressed farmer to sell diseased stock; and a cartography manager knowingly allows publication of an inaccurate topographical map, leading to public safety and business inefficiency risks.
The Principal Officer will send the Agency’s report to the Ombudsman within the time requested by the Ombudsman or as otherwise agreed with the Ombudsman. Reprisal / Work place conflict risk assessment procedures An initial risk assessment using the agency risk management policy and framework should be completed by the authorised officer as soon as possible after a disclosure is received, or after the Authority is notified that a disclosure concerning their agency has been received (for example, if the Ombudsman, IGIS or investigative agency decides to investigate a disclosure made directly to them). This gives the Authority the best chance of recognising any risk of reprisals or associated workplace conflict. To assist in identification of individual factors which may cause or contribute to a risk of reprisal or workplace conflict, refer to table 1 below. Table 1 - Possible causes and contributing factors that may indicate a risk of reprisal or workplace conflict Cause / contributing factors Prompt questions Threats or past experience Has a specific threat against the discloser been made? Is there a history of conflict between the discloser and the subjects of the disclosure, management, supervisors or colleagues? Is there a history of reprisals or other conflict in the workplace? Is it likely that the disclosure will exacerbate this? Confidentiality unlikely to be maintained Who knows that the disclosure has been made or was going to be Has the discloser already raised the substance of the raised the substance of the disclosure or revealed their identity in the workplace? Who in the workplace knows the discloser’s identity? Is the discloser’s immediate work unit small?* Are there circumstances, such as the discloser’s stress level, that will make it difficult for them to not discuss the matter with people in their workplace? Will the discloser become identified or suspected when the existence or substance of the disclosure is made known or investigated? Can the disclosure be investigated while maintaining confidentiality? Significant reported wrongdoing Are there allegations about individuals in the disclosure? Who are their close professional and social associates within the workplace? Is there more than one wrongdoer involved in the matter?* Is the reported wrongdoing serious? Is or was the reported wrongdoing occurring frequently?* Is the disclosure particularly sensitive or embarrassing for any subjects of the disclosure, senior management,

The EFF seeks relief that is premised upon the presumption that the respondents were required to comply with the remedial action that I prescribed in my Report. It follows that this Court will inevitably be required to consider the legal status and effect of the Report and remedial action taken therin, regardless of whether the EFF’s application succeeds or fails. A decision from this Court on the issue will also have a profound effect on the manner in which I exercise my powers in all future matters. I respectfully submit that the Public Protector’s direct and substantial interest in the nature and ambit of the institution’s powers arises plainly from these facts and from the relief sought by the EFF. I submit moreover that granting me leave to intervene as a respondent in the application would be in the interests of justice. I would add that the binding nature of the Public Protector’s reports and remedial action in terms of section 182(1)(c) of the Constitution forms the subject of other litigation, including an appeal which has recently served before the Supreme Court of Appeal (“SCA”). In all such other matters, the Public Protector has been cited as a respondent and has participated by making submissions on the nature of her powers, without becoming embroiled in the broader merits of the matters in question. It is important that I draw specific attention to the appeal matter referred to above and particularly the ongoing effect of the High Court’s order which was the subject of the appeal. The High Court judgment is reported as Democratic Alliance v South African Broadcasting Corporation Limited and Others 2015 (1) SA 551 (WCC) (“the SABC matter”). The appeal to the SCA was heard on 18 September 2015 under Appeal Case No 393/2015. I was present at the appeal. I do not wish to anticipate the outcome of the appeal save to draw attention to the possibility that it may not result in a determination of the ambit and effect of the Public Protector’s powers. This is because the three appellants all agreed to accept paragraphs 1 to 3 of the Order, namely:

4 6 7 9 10 11 11 Welcome to Voice, the innovative and exciting public speaking competition of UN Youth Australia! It’s also the largest public speaking competition in Western Australia. This annual event is an exciting opportunity for students in years 7 to 10 to broaden their knowledge of global affairs and international relationships, while developing their presentation and diplomacy skills in a unique forum. Voice gives you the chance to make your voice heard on key international issues that are shaping the future of your society. Through the presentation of a prepared speech and answering impromptu questions, you will explore topics of global and personal significance as you persuade, entertain and inspire your audience. So that you’re not thrown in the deep end, the competition includes an evening public speaking workshop where you will be given public speaking training from some of Western Australia’s best public speakers, including Ignite Mentoring founder Ilona Quahe. You will also be introduced to the crux of the competition; pitching a solution to a pressing global problem, and answering questions about your solution posed by a panel of judges. All students will attend a second event following the public speaking workshop where you will deliver your speech. You will speak about matters of significant global importance utilising the skills and
Describing a situation like a news report is informative, but not engaging for an audience. Avoid facts and statistics unless they are interesting and help you illustrate part of your speech. Judges won’t be impressed with a speech that resembles a Wikipedia page. Don’t move unless it’s for a reason Hand gestures to emphasise points are expected. However, pacing around the floor can often be distracting. Unless you think it will help emphasise a point, standing confidently with feet shoulder width apart should be your default position. Don’t talk into your palm cards Using palm cards doesn’t give you an excuse not to know most of your speech with a high degree of familiarity. If you’re constantly looking down at them instead of at the audience, you’ll quickly lose their attention. Palm cards are meant to be used as prompts or as a backup if you find that you’ve forgotten a line. Don’t use unnecessary language The audience only gets one chance to hear your speech. Unless a complex word or phrase makes your meaning clearer, avoid complicating your speech with it. Don’t restate common knowledge Most people know about issues such as global warming, so explaining what it is will not be particularly interesting. To make these topics interesting, you should provide creative and original solutions and ideas. Choose a topic and stick to it Don’t labour over selecting the problem you’ll address. Be decisive and you’ll give yourself much more time to work on your speech. Chances are you’ll perform similarly with most topics as long as you have enough time to develop your ideas. Choose the best of your ideas Start by listing possible ideas and views. Sort through them and be as critical as possible. Think about which solutions are the most original, engaging and feasible. Focus on a few
