Notice requirements The NMO requires the NMC to make rules which include provisions requiring the NMC to notify specified persons, including governments of the four countries, when an allegation is referred to the CCC or to the HC for a hearing. It is considered that this requirement is unnecessary as no finding of impairment has yet been made and therefore there are no public protection implications. It is also administratively burdensome due to the high number of hearings held by the NMC per year. Therefore it is proposed that the requirement to include such a provision in rules should be removed from the legislation. The requirement for the rules to provide that the NMC should give such notification to the registrant's employer, where known, will remain. It should be noted that the NMC already has a power to disclose fitness to practise information to any person where it considers that it is in the public interest to disclose which is a more proportionate approach to disclosure. Q11. Do you agree that the requirement to notify specified persons, including governments of the four countries, when an allegation is referred to a Practice Committee panel for a hearing should be removed?
Care and Recovery Coordination Pharmacotherapy These streams are described below and included in Figure 2: Treatment System components. Care and Recovery Coordination For people with complex needs, Care and Recovery Coordination is available to assist the person to navigate treatment and to support them if they are waiting to access treatment. It also supports a person to plan for exit from treatment and to access other services that can help the person with housing, training, education, employment, or other support that can help prevent relapse. Counselling Counselling supports positive behavioural change in people through providing evidence-based therapeutic guidance. Therapeutic Day Rehabilitation Therapeutic day rehabilitation programs are intensive, structured interventions that aim to address the psychosocial causes of alcohol and other drug dependence. Non-Residential Withdrawal Non-residential withdrawal services support people with alcohol and other drug dependency issues to safely achieve neuroadaptation reversal from addiction. Residential Withdrawal Residential withdrawal services support clients to safely achieve neuroadaptation reversal from alcohol and other drugs of dependence, in a supervised residential or hospital facility. Compulsory drug withdrawal under the Severe Substance Dependence Treatment Act (2010) The Severe Substance Dependence Treatment Act (2010) provides for a 14 day period of detention and compulsory withdrawal for people who urgently require treatment to save life or prevent serious damage to their health. This program delivered under the Act is provided by St Vincent’s Health. Residential Rehabilitation Residential rehabilitation services provide intensive interventions that address the psychosocial causes of alcohol and drug dependence in a structured residential setting. Pharmacotherapy Pharmacotherapy is the use of prescribed substitution medication (such as methadone, acamprosate, naltrexone and buprenorphine) to assist in the treatment of addiction. Pharmacotherapy is accessed through GPs, nurses and alcohol and other drug treatment services. Population-specific services Population-specific alcohol and other drug treatment services are available for cohorts with specific needs: Youth alcohol and other drug services (including non-residential and residential) Aboriginal alcohol and other drug services Forensic alcohol and other drug services

Consultation feedback log Policy document name: Updated by: Last update on: Log # Commentator Commentator's College/School/Division Date received Summary of feedback/comment Response Action 1 Fred Smith School of Archeaology & Anthropology, CASS 27-May-15 The requirements of the procedure for risk assessment on travel do not adequately deal with academic staff undertaking fieldwork in remote areas of Australia This feedback raises a concern that will need to be addressed before approval of the procedure. Mary Brown (policy developer) to liaise with relevant school, as well as all College General Managers to explore the impact of this issue more broadly.
The meeting was then opened for questions and answers from the attendees, which consisted of parents of deaf children, parents of children at the school, and elected members. How far has this information be sent out? The document has been sent to every parent of children at the school, governors of the school, local elected members and MPs, parents of severely or profoundly deaf children and other stakeholders. There will also be further meetings with school governors and parents of deaf children. Will parents of deaf children still have a choice which school their child attends or will the choice be restricted? The Authority’s role is to look at where the provision outlined in each child’s statement could be met. It has to take into account parental preference as well as costs in making decisions. But parents would still have the choice to express their preferences about where to send their child as they do now. The legal framework would apply. . The proposal is about extending that choice, not restricting it. Why is the proposal only for 14 children when there are approximately 600 children across the city who are deaf or hearing impaired? Most of those children are in a mainstream setting. Only a small proportion of hearing impaired children in Leeds are severely or profoundly deaf and the number is manageable by the school. Is it worth setting up a few resource bases in other schools across the city? Because of the low numbers this is not viable at the moment but we revisit the idea in the future. Most parents want to send their child to their local mainstream school where for example other family members and friends attend. What about an after school club to learn BSL? And for staff to learn as well (including the Headteacher) will be plenty of opportunities for staff, children and parents to learn BSL. The Headteacher has a BSL qualification from years ago but may need a refresher. Parents want to learn BSL too so this is a possibility How do you intend to keep in close contact with parents as there was nothing in the presentation about this. Parents should be fully involved with their child’s learning. Wholeheartedly Ms McKay stated her clear commitment to involving families as much as possible in their child’s education. Regular meetings would need to be planned in. Where did deaf children from Cottingley go? Mainly to Bankside and Robin Hood. One went to Bradford What if there are 2 deaf children who form a close friendship and one moves to another school? The other child may be left feeling isolated.
6bii How would you define ‘proposal type’? (eg, would it be based on types of industry such as power generation, or housing development?) It could be industry type, but also it could be effects based, and pay attention to the receiving environment and the affected community and its concerns and the nature of impacts on environmental systems and capital. 7. Who do you think gains from the single threshold approach? Who misses out? The single threshold is likely to be simply the investment input dollar value, and thus the applicant will benefit and others will have to wear the costs of the direct referral and the distinct freezing off of community engagement. 8. Who do you think gains from the different threshold amount approach? Who misses out? The answer to this depends on what the nature of the threshold tests are. Setting the threshold amount 9. For your preferred measure, at what level would you set a single investment threshold amount so that it selects for proposals with significant economic scale at a regional level? This is such a bad test, given the RMA’s purpose that we object to this being the focus. It is not really possible to answer this unless we know whether the discussion is net investment from a broader societal viewpoint, gross private investment or what. 10. How would you adjust the threshold amount to take different location into account? Yes, probably we would, and in particular, we would have a test of irreversibility and severity of divestement or degradation of natural capital, and impacts on the community. 11. How would you adjust the threshold amount to take different proposal types into account? As in 10 Exceptional circumstances 12. Which of the above matters do you agree should be prescribed? If there are additional reasons why those matters should be prescribed, please provide them. We do not understand why the Ministry paper equates “exceptional” with “unforeseen”. There are many things that are exceptional but not unforeseen. The exceptional circumstances are those that are rare and unusual, or which have compelling ethical or cultural or social implications, not unforeseen.
There is a large hostel close to the school where families are placed and children may require a school place. A large number of new places have been created in the borough, however, now the Council is proposing to reduce PANs. ‘There aren’t many good non-religious schools available in the area’. ‘Reduces parental choice’. 6.4 Response to concerns 6.4.1 Reducing the PAN at an improving school The current admission number for the Reception year group at Norbury Manor Primary School is 90. At the beginning of the 2017/18 academic year, a total of 51 children were registered at the school in Reception. A large portion of funding received by schools is directly related to the number of pupils attending the school. Too many vacancies in schools mean that schools will not receive the maximum revenue possible. Therefore we are proposing to reduce the number of available places to enable the schools to operate more efficiently and cost effectively. If the demand for school places increases at Norbury Manor or within its planning area, the admission number can revert to its original number. 6.4.2 Families within temporary accommodation local to Norbury Manor Primary School The Council’s supply strategy allows for some surplus of school places that may be required by children who move into the borough throughout the academic year. As stated above, if demand increase the school can revert to its original admission number. 6.4.3 New places have been created / proposing to reduce PANs The growth in Croydon’s population over the last decade put pressure on primary school places, necessitating in a huge expansion in capacity. Several new schools, and therefore new school places were provided to meet the growth in demand. A 5% drop in birth rate in 2013, has contributed to a high level than necessary of surplus places in some educational planning areas 6.4.4 Diversity and quality of primary school places The Council’s aim is to provide a diverse education of a high standard. The Education Act 2011 changed the arrangements for establishing new schools and introduced the free school presumption. the Council thinks a new school needs to be established in their area, it must in the first instance seek
parents and schools can work together to improve the learning experience for students. What insights or reflections do you have equity or the draft framework and do you have any comments? Join the conversation about Equity in the TDSB “We believe that equity of opportunity, and equity of access to our programs, services and resources are critical to the achievement of successful outcomes for all those whom we serve, and for those who serve our school system … The Board is therefore committed to ensuring that fairness, equity, and inclusion are essential principles of our school system and are integrated into all our policies, programs, operations, and practices.” -- TDSB Equity Foundation Statement Our vision is for all students to succeed. It is critical that we provide safe and caring schools where students have the resources and tools to be successful. We have done a lot of work to support our students, but still, not all students are doing as well in school as they should be. We need to change that. کمک به موفقیت تمام دانش آموزان ایجاد محیط یادگیری عادلانه برای همه وب سایت مشاوره اجتماعی http://www.tdsb.on.ca/Community/ PublicConsultations/Equity.aspx نقطه نظرات یا بازتاب شما درباره عدالت یا پیش نویس ساختار چیست و آیا هیچ نظری دارید؟ در TDSB درباره عدالت با ما، هم گفتار شوید

to do with a lack of ability or but with a lack of flexibility on the part of HSC employers to provide appropriate support and to “think outside the box” as to how they could provide gainful employment for an individual with this disability. People with ASD have huge strengths and could contribute significantly but too often the lack of opportunity to provide a supported work environment means that these opportunities are missed. many organisations can support an individual with disabilities within a work placement e.g. Stepping Stones/NOW; HSC organisations should be more proactive about promoting a truly equal work environment for those with disabilities, rather than pay lip service to this as a goal Solutions in order to promote the use of Employment Support Programmes. This relates to support for both our staff who have a disability and line managers, such as through Workable NI and Access to Work. Thereby, we want to increase the number of with a disability who remain in work and those gaining employment.

The proposed legislative changes clarify confidential commercial information provisions to improve their operation and reduce uncertainty for the APVMA staff reduce the regulatory burden by simplifying reporting requirements for annual returns to information requirements and timing with existing levy reporting; mandatory reporting will be restricted to providing total product quantities supplied for the previous year reduce administrative burden on the APVMA and industry by increasing the APVMA’s flexibility to manage errors in an application at the preliminary assessment stage reduce regulatory burden by enabling the APVMA to grant part of a variation application under section 27 of the Agvet Code the APVMA’s timeframe for notifying FSANZ under the Agvet Code about whether a variation to the Maximum Residue Limit Standard is required, so that the timeframe provides for when fees are paid improve the operation of legislation by enabling a person to apply to vary the particulars of a label approval that is suspended, to the extent that the variation relates to the matters relating to the grounds for suspension amend the definition of ‘expiry date’ in the Agvet Code to specify the date after which a product ‘must not’ be used and amend the date format for an expiry date add the potential for human exposure to antimicrobial resistant microorganisms as a specific safety consideration that the APVMA must have regard to for chemical products and active constituents provide a broader suite of sanctions by including civil penalty provisions in the Agvet Code and the Administration Act for providing false or misleading information make minor and technical amendments to the Administration Act and the Agvet Code, including to remove redundant provisions make related consequential, transitional and savings provisions arising from the proposed amendments, as needed. The government proposes that these measures would commence at different times to provide for their orderly introduction. The proposed commencement provisions are described later in this document under ‘Our Proposals for Change’.
Replacing existing exhaust fan with self-sealing exhaust fan (Schedule 15C) This weather sealing measure covers the installation of a ceiling or wall exhaust fan that has an integral self-closing damper that substantially restricts air flow through the exhaust fan when the fan is not operating. It is proposed that the products be capable of lasting for at least ten years of normal use and that they must expel air either to the outside or into the roof space of the premises. Certificates for activity = Abatement Factor x Regional Factor Current certificate allocation Air sealing measure Unit Abatement factor Replacing existing exhaust fan with self-sealing exhaust fan (15C) Per exhaust fan 0.911 Location Regional factor Melbourne / Mild 1.03 Regional Victoria / Mild 0.91 Regional Victoria / Cold 1.30 Regional Victoria / Hot 0.84 Proposed certificate allocation Air sealing measure Unit Abatement factor Replacing existing exhaust fan with self-sealing exhaust fan (15C) Per exhaust fan 0.928 Location Regional factor Melbourne / Mild 1.05 Regional Victoria / Mild 0.84 Regional Victoria / Cold 1.32 Regional Victoria / Hot 0.69 How would the number of certificates for this activity be affected? The proposed changes would create a slight alteration to the number of certificates awarded per installation. The rationale for this is explained on page 4. The changes are mainly due to updating of the mix of heating and cooling appliances, and revision of the greenhouse gas coefficients. Example: Installation of 15C in Regional/Hot location Regional factor Abatement factor Number installed Certificates Rounded Current = 0.84 x 0.911 x 1 = 0.77 1 VEEC Proposed = 0.69 x 0.928 x 1 = 0.64 1 VEEC What equipment specification changes are proposed? It is proposed that the ESC be given the power to assess and approve which products can be used for weather sealing measures and that the product specification change to require that products used be capable of lasting for at least ten years of normal use. Installing a cover with self-closing damper on existing exhaust fan (Schedule 15D) This weather sealing measure rewards the installation of a cover with self-closing damper on an existing exhaust fan. The main change proposed is that products be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions and be capable of lasting for at least ten years of normal use.
Threats Threats to the Julia Creek dunnart are outlined in the table below (Woinarski et al., 2014). Threat factor rating Extent over which threat may operate Evidence base Predation by feral cats Severe Entire ‘Cats have been shown to prey heavily’ on this species (Lundie-Jenkins & Paine 2000; Kutt 2003; Burnett & Winter 2008; Mifsud & Woolley 2012), and numbers increased following control of feral predators (Mifsud 1999). Mifsud & Woolley (2012) reported 18 Julia Creek dunnarts in stomach contents of 199 sampled feral cats in the range area for this species. Predation by foxes Moderate Entire Recognised as a threat (Burnett & Winter 2008), and some direct evidence of predation (Kutt 2003), but none reported in stomach contents of 57 foxes sampled by Mifsud and Woolley (2012) Habitat degradation and resource depletion due to livestock and herbivores Moderate Large There is some, but varied, correlative evidence & Paine 2000; Smith et al., 2007). Much of its habitat is intensively grazed by sheep and cattle. Habitat change due to weed invasion Moderate Moderate There has been wholesale change in habitat structure and suitability associated with the spread of prickly acacia (Acacia nilotica) and other woody weeds (Lundie-Jenkins & Paine 2000). Increased fire frequency and intensity Moderate Moderate There is some experimental evidence, suggesting mostly increased predation pressure after fire (Qld DERM 2009). Dunnarts can survive direct effects of fire if there is suitable habitat to provide protection from predators; impacts of fire depend on the timing and severity of the burn (Qld DEHP 2013).

severe consequences of harm associated with alcohol and other drug use, such as criminal involvement or social disadvantage, and whose home setting or social circumstances are not supportive of treatment options. Purpose The primary purpose of the youth residential rehabilitation program is to provide the opportunity for young people to address their alcohol and other drug problems and develop skills that enable them to the community. Target group The target age for the service is young adults aged 16-21 years wishing to address their problematic alcohol and other drug use and equip themselves with life skills that enable them to live independently in the community. It should be a matter of clinical judgement and client choice whether young people up to age 25 years are considered developmentally appropriate for the youth residential service, or would be more suited to a general adult residential rehabilitation service. Referrals to the program may be from youth and adult alcohol and other drug treatment services and other youth service providers. Key service requirements To provide an intensive rehabilitation program to clients of alcohol and other drug services who have undergone an alcohol and other drug withdrawal program or who require such treatment to manage their alcohol and other drug use problems. To provide a range of treatment interventions, which includes behavioural treatment approaches, social and community living skills, training relevant to the young person’s needs, counselling, group work and relapse prevention. To provide case management for clients including a negotiated Individual Treatment Plan with a community reintegration component. To facilitate access and link the client to other services appropriate to their health and welfare needs including educational/vocational training and employment skills. Where appropriate, to support the client to return to their family home, or obtain safe, secure and affordable accommodation. To provide appropriate services for carers and families of affected by alcohol and other drug use. To establish and maintain strong professional links with other relevant agencies. To enhance rehabilitation with a strong focus on counselling and integration including other community health, welfare and educational/vocational support services. The program should address long term client needs through establishing referrals and support linkages to education, accommodation, vocational, health and other identified services. Aboriginal AOD treatment and support services The Department of Health and Human Services works with Aboriginal people, organisations and communities, other parts of government and the Commonwealth to ensure access for Aboriginal people to a range of alcohol and other drug treatment services.
