Aviation Seminar
4th June 2013 | Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre, Aberdeen
Offshore helicopter incidents focus the minds of everyone involved in the oil and gas industry; particularly the workers who travel every day by helicopter to and from oil and gas installations. Even 'day to day' in-flight occurrences requiring flight crews to return to base en route offshore can be just as concerning to the passengers involved. Confirmed Speakers: Mark Stevens, Shell Aircraft International Jake Molloy, RMT Chester Armstrong, CAA Further speakers tbc The theme of this year's seminar is: As the oil and gas industry continues to work hard to improve offshore safety, what is being done by the aviation industry to provide safe, efficient and reliable helicopters to support offshore operations? A trade union official will provide an insight into how helicopter safety is perceived by the offshore workforce at large and offer a view on what needs to be done to improve communications to allay workforce concerns. How do the manufacturers ensure helicopter designs are 'fit for purpose' and what organisations, systems and maintenance procedures are in place to assure continuing airworthiness in order to fully support the day-to-day logistical demands of offshore helicopter operations in hostile environments? AgustaWestland, Eurocopter and Sikorsky will take you behind the scenes of their support operations to provide an insight into the organisations, systems, training, procedures, and communications. They'll discuss how teams of highly skilled professionals provide 24/7/365 support to their customers (the helicopter operators) to assure passenger safety on UK offshore helicopter flights and; what they are doing to improve helicopter safety. The UK regulator, the Civil Aviation Authority will explain their relationship with EASA, their oversight responsibilities, how they influence continuous airworthiness and the maintenance of high standards for flight and maintenance operations. The suspension of EC225 flights after the two ditchings in 2012 raised the important issue of resilience of the UK offshore helicopter fleet; and its ability to deal with the logistical problems of maintaining a workable offshore flights schedule. These issues will be discussed along with proposals to assist with future planning to cope with any future lack helicopter capacity. Oil & Gas UK's events are an excellent opportunity to network with industry colleagues and be informed of the latest updates and developments.

Quality Accounts: Implementing the Recommendations from the Francis Inquiry
5th June 2013 | ICO Conference Centre, London, London
Trust Boards should provide, through quality accounts, full and accurate information about their compliance or non-compliance with the fundamental standards and enhanced standards that apply to them. This data should be made available on each trust’s website, and should be audited. Quality accounts should contain information in a common form to enable comparisons to be made between organisations. This should include a minimum of prescribed information about compliance with fundamental and enhanced standards. Where there are issues of non-compliance, proposals for rectification should appear, and full details should be given on statistics on mortality and other outcomes. These quality accounts should contain the observations of commissioners and overview and scrutiny committees. Each quality account should be accompanied by a declaration signed by all directors certifying the accounts to be true, or a statement of explanation should be given as to why any director is unable to sign or has refused to sign such a declaration. To make or be party to a wilfully or recklessly false statement as to compliance with fundamental standards in the required quality account should be made a criminal offence. Healthcare providers should have their quality accounts independently audited and their accuracy, fairness, and balance should be considered by the CQC, exercising its regulatory jurisdiction.” Report of the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust Public Inquiry Recommendations February 2013 This conference provides, through national updates and local case studies an important update on strengthening quality accounts in response to the Francis recommendations. more

Pathways to Employment
5th June 2013 | Honourable Artillery Company HQ, London
Pathways to Employment: Celebrating the Vocational Route! As part of the major campaign to get employers to respond to the crisis of youth unemployment and the employability deficit amongst the young, a national conference is taking place in London. Under the banner of Youth Employment UK and Employment Pathways, two social enterprises active in this field, and suppported by leading business enterprises such as Barclays, leading figures in the world of politics, education, recruitment and business will provide sharp insights into the problems and solutions for both employers and would-be employees. This is the landscape: Unemployment amongst young people is at unacceptable levels Fewer 16-18 year olds are entering apprenticeships Careers guidance is vanishing rapidly Employers don't want to hire young people We talk about poor employability skills, but we argue about what it means and whose job it is to deliver it Competing governmental department squabble over responsibility for dealing with the youth unemployment and employability agenda Do we have an educational curriculum that opens pathways into employment? How can we get a youth recruitment programme focused on talent, skills and personal attributes? Keynote speaker is Graham Stuart MP, the Conservative Chair of the Commons Education Select Committee which in its deliberations and publications has been sharply critical of elements of the government education policy, especially careers guidance. Described as the “ Conservative party’s most influential backbench MP on education”, he launched what was described as a” scathing attack of Education Secretary Michael Gove’s school reforms” in a speech to Headteacher in October 2012, “If there is clear thinking going on in the department, it has so far escaped the chairman of the education select committee.” He will be ably supported by, among others: Professor Jill Brunt, Education Director at Pearson, a passionate believer in the power of learning to open up people’s lives and in lifelong learning Christine Townley, Executive Director of Construction Youth Trust overseeing the significant expansion of the Trust and the development of a number of innovative new programmes that support young people on their ‘journey to work’. Denise Yates, Chief Executive at National Association for Gifted Children David Pollard, Chairman Education, Skills and Business Support Policy Group, Federation of Small Businesses Marius Frank, CEO at ASDAN, the educational charity and national awarding organisation, where he fights for the cause for skills-based education Mike Thompson, Head of Employability Programmes at Barclays Bank Chris Wilford, Senior Policy & PR Advisor, Recruitment & Employment Confederation, the only professional body dedicated to representing the whole of the recruitment industry Sarah Clover, communications director of Notgoingtouni, the number 1 independent advice, guidance and opportunity site for young people The voices of young people There will also be updates provided on the traineeship programme recently outlined by Matthew Hancock and I am sure this will thread itself throughout the discussions. As in the past the format is a five person panel with each panellist providing a ten minute introduction – no PowerPoints!! --- followed by an extensive Q and A. This is the format from our past events and it works splendidly. The purpose of the event as whole is to roll out the “Youth Friendly” charter, which is a commitment by employers large and small to the “opening doors” policy of recruitment and the formal accreditation of companies who adhere to the principle of this charter. This is being developed in partnership with Youth Employment UK, Working for Youth and ASDAN with the support of Barclays and others. In addition we are launching an annual award for the most “Youth Friendly” employer. As you can imagine, we sit in a maelstrom of political and economic forces around our agenda where the only agreement is that we are not equipping our children – whichever end of the achievement spectrum they sit --- with the skills needed to secure and enjoy great careers. This is the third conference organised by Employment Pathways (formerly Apprenticeships England), and we are delighted to be working in partnership with other like-minded organisations committed to getting young people onto sustainable pathways into work. Conference Programme Understanding Employability: Context and Accountability Employability in Today’s Workplace Employability in the Classroom: is there a place? Employability and the Political Battlefront Employability as a Lifelong Skill My Employability Journey The Employers Speak Out: What We Need and What We Will Do: the New Deal Financial services and banking Energy sector The small business sector New media Talent-spotting: Effective Recruitment into the Workplace by Opening Doors Avoiding the Qualification Trap How Talent-spotting Works What it’s like to be a Job Seeker How a Youth Recruitment Policy Transformed My Business Cost: Delegate Ticket 210.00 more

Lecture 3: NZ UK Link Foundation
5th June 2013 | Foundling Museum, London
Lecture 3: NZ UK Link Foundation Visiting Professor Anne Smith, Otago University Lecture Series - Enhancing the Rights and Well-Being of Children: Connecting Research, Policy and Practice The New Zealand-United Kingdom Link Foundation and the School of Advanced Study, University of London request the pleasure of your company at a lecture by The NZ-UK Link Foundation Visiting Professor, Emeritus Professor Anne Smith of Otago University, New Zealand Children have the right to be protected from all forms of abuse and neglect, but New Zealand’s statistics for child maltreatment, hospital admissions, notifications and foster placements are disturbing. The level of alarm at this state of affairs, has heightened with recent cases of child deaths (such as the 3 month-old Kahui twins in 2006). Green and White papers from the government on Vulnerable Children show that policy changes are forthcoming, involving common assessment tools, agency co-ordination, the creation of Children’s Teams, and evidence-based policies. This lecture looks critically at the policy recommendations and argues for a greater consideration for children’s participation rights, strengths rather than deficits, awareness of causes (especially poverty), and family support rather than surveillance. Chair: Dame Gillian Pugh, DBE Respondent: Professor Harriet Ward, CBE, Director of the Centre for Child & Family Research, University of Loughborough Arrive 17:45 for 18:00 Start Followed by Reception in The Picture Gallery, The Foundling Museum< Cost: Lecture 3: Child Protection – Rights, Research and Policy 0.00 more
