After the government has refused a second vote on the issue in parliament, the charity Help Refugees (represented by Leigh Day solicitors) is taking the Home Office to court over the Government’s failure to make suitable arrangements for relocating and supporting a specific number of child refugees as promised by the scheme currently known as "DUBS" under UK immigration law. For those who haven't heard about DUBS, it was an amendment made to 2016 law which requires the government to make arrangements ‘as soon as possible’ (after 31 May 2016) to relocate and support a ‘specified number’ of unaccompanied refugee children from Europe. This scheme was created as a response to the increasing pressure on the UK to help in what has been deemed the worst refugee crisis since World War Two. In February of this year our Home Office abandoned the continuation of DUBS quietly in Parliament, and local governments and charities across the UK have been trying to fight the decision. Help Refugees has now launched a formal legal challenge against the government as part of a last chance effort to protect what is truly a lifeline for unaccompanied/lone children fleeing war and/or conflict to Europe. Keeping the DUBS scheme is essential because currently there are 28 million children uprooted because of conflict in their own countries but over 1/9th of the world's refugees right now are in Europe and children make up a third of these numbers (and above 45% in the South East of Europe such as Greece and Macedonia), which make legal channels like DUBS essential for these kids to be able to begin a better life and to not be left to be targeted by traffickers and abusers who focus on Europe's camps. As the 6th richest country in the world, the UK is denying it's international commitments by reversing yet another safe legal passage for these children. Our local councils have said the UK can take in 4000 more children - meaning we have the capacity, all that's lacking is the willingness of our government to support our capacity to give. In its stance, the Home Office is targeting without justification children who have absolutely no one else to turn to and whose lives and futures are at significant risk right now. They have lost everything, meanwhile our government stands from a distance and says we have nothing to give. The Charity Help Refugees and those lawyers standing against the Home Office this week, are doing so because they reject this position. They reject that this is the UK we believe in. We ask the UK public to support this court case as the last chance to keep this scheme in law. We ask that you sign and spread the word about this case and that you don't let the lives of so many kids be determined behind closed doors. Let's shame the Home Office for its position, let's stand tall and fight for the right of these children to a better future from conflict.

This is important in preventing a tragic incident . Many people visiting arundel speed and are unaware there is a school by the cathedral. When parents cross with their children it is dangerous with little visibility and cars parked everywhere .

While most parents regularly check their children for head lice some do not. The children of those parents continuously spread head lice through the schools, causing discomfort, distress and financial burdens on every parent with a child of school age. In the last four weeks we have had to treat our son for head lice four times and that is not an uncommon situation. Each time my son has been very distressed about it and despite us assuring him that it is not his fault he still says it makes him feel dirty. While I know that head lice treatment can be provided on the NHS for those parents who are unable to afford it this is not always freely given and is only provided for the child of school age. The problem with this is that the infection will usually be spread throughout the family thus only treating the child will not solve the problem. The nit nurses provided a bottle of treatment to use on the entire family. For those parents who simply do not check their children, whether out of ignorance or laziness, the nit nurse is a good tool for encouraging them to do so.

It is important as there have been a few kids who have taken there own life's, and there will be children suffering in silence terrified to go to school, this is not acceptable and needs to be outlawed as soon as possible

There is absolutely no need for animals of any description to be killed so cruelly for plain and simply entertainment of crowds, there is nothing honourable in the way these Matadors dispatch the poor beasts it is plain and simply cruelty, time people were educated to the fact that it is wrong to treat animals in such a manner, at least at the slaughterhouse they are dispatched quickly.

Because there is a minimum but no maximum. We are In pain with the heat

Ysgol Heulfre merged with neighbouring Ysgol Gwaenynog to form Ysgol Pendref in 2012 and we were promised a new building by 2019, with feasibility works beginning in 2014. Denbighshire County Council have now back tracked on their promises, saying the costs are too high and that the school must wait for the next round of schools funding. This is despite the dates being a condition to the merger. It now looks likely that the new school will not be ready until 2024 if the Council gets it's way. This will have a major impact on our childrens education and ultimatley their futures. With more homes due to be built in the area, class sizes growing and cuts to schools budgets this delay cannot be allowed to happen and the Council must be held to account for their promises. The old site is not fit for purpose in any way. As a parent, I cannot stand by and do nothing. We all need to stand together and fight for our children and their futures before it's too late.

Libraries are a vital resource in Bristol not only for students to access books they need but also for those who are unable to access the internet and is a create community setting for those in local areas and beyond

The University of Stirling should take the opportunity of its 50th anniversary to allow its students to graduate from somewhere far more interesting than a sports centre tennis hall. It is, frankly, disrespectful to its graduands to do so. Stirling Castle has a main hall and a church that could accommodate - if not as many - an acceptable number of attendees. Arrangements could easily be made to allow for more guests to attend the ceremony. Furthermore, as such an iconic part of Stirling, how better to integrate the university with its surrounding city than this? Dunblane Cathedral is a far larger location, which would be perfectly suited for this occasion. However, it is obviously a religious setting and slightly removed from the campus. Practicality deems it a better place for size, but there are problems that may be a hindrance.

In light of the recent terror attacks in manchester and the issues our children face they need these valuable skills
