There are approximately 360,000 people registered blind or partially sighted in the UK. In the workplace, braille can be a productive way for people to make notes and can also be useful for reviewing printed material. Braille can reduce paper volumes as it is made up of shortcuts (short form words) which means reading material can be much faster. However, there are thousands of people who do not reach the job application stage as the job application is in an inaccessible format for them. It is vitally important to the lives of partially sighted and blind people as the ability to read and write in braille allows individuals to be literate and gives them an equal opportunity.

In November 2017 Ofsted graded Littlegreen School as inadequate. New legislation requires that inadequate schools become subject of an academy order. However, if the school is inspected again and has improved meaning the inadequate grade removed before a sponsor is found the order will be lifted. Littlegreen School is a special school for boys. It was rated Good by ofsted in 2012 but recieved no interim short inspection prior to the inspection in 2017. During those 5 years there were numerous changes in leadership and the schools performance started slipping unbeknown to ofsted as they hadn't checked the school. The current headteacher took her post in September 2017 just prior to the Ofsted inspection. She had to immediately make numerous changes after discovering serious concerns with safeguarding and the running of the school. These changes caused a lot of upset amongst the boys who struggle with change but they were necessary changes. So here we are now, the boys are settling down and understanding the new rules. The school improvement plan data shows marked improvements in school. An academy trust is showing an interest in taking the school over. We do not feel this is in the best interests of our boys. They will have to cope with more changes just as they are settling down, this is not good for children with SEN. We do not want our small unique school to become part of a business. The academy will make changes to staff which will affect the boys massively. The headteacher will no longer be required as the trust has one Executive Headteacher covering all the schools within the trust. This is not fair on the boys to lose a leader they are starting to bond with and not fair on a head who hasn't been given chance to bring the school back to a good rating. We want Ofsted to come back and inspect our school and see the improvements so the academy order can be lifted. Schools should not be forced to academise!

Carers cannot survive on so little money. They are torn between Caring for a loved one and trying to make ends meet. When they eventually retire they have earnt the right to their full pension, not have it seriously depleted when CA stops. Time to reward Carers and allow them to keep their CA.

With an ultimate aim to make UK’s relationship in the world peaceful that is be more harmonious with each other and with the environment. If each nuclear state disarms unconditionally the process can happen without one state breaking another before a peace dividend can go further.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/feb/01/arresting-kids-not-stop-knife-crime-stabbings-london In 2018, knife murders have become an epidemic and crisis in the UK. Young people are carrying knives as a means of defence, as a result of being exploited by organised crime or other complex social problems. There must be a robust response by the government as a priority in order to prevent a generation of young people's lives being destroyed.

This is important because children can't learn when they are hungry, therefor there health and Education is suffering, it costs £5.8million approximately for food and drinks for all memebers of parliment, there income is suffient enough to afford this them selfs

I was told today by one soft drinks company, (who I contacted for information about their products’ jackets), that they didn’t have that information to hand. They then phoned me back, to say, “it’s entirely recyclable”. Well, if it is, surely that info should be added to the jackets. I was also told, by the same person, that, just as I wouldn’t recycle a baked beans tin without washing it first, their drinks’ jackets should be removed BEFORE recycling their plastic bottles. What? A simple line of text on the jacket about its material would suffice. Lucozade Rubens Suntory LTD, Britvic and others need to be more transparent. It’s vital for consumers to not only be aware of their drink’s contents, but also what the entire packaging is made of, for recycling purposes and to make an informed choice. Companies should declare precisely which material the jackets are made from, giving consumers the information needed when selecting a drink. In this age of environmental awareness and increased environment responsibility, consumers require to be better informed. We have a moral and ethical right to know if the jackets are entirely safe to recycle, (and, conversely, if they are potentially damaging to the environment and wildlife). And ... if we’re supposed to peel off the jackets and recycle the bottle and jacket separately, then this needs to be stated on the jacket. It certainly should not be a matter of guess work, assuming because the plastic bottle is recyclable, then the jacket must be too!

Plastic levels have become unmanagable and the enviroment is suffering badly. Our oceans are massively polluted and marine life is severley affected. There are many organic alternatives to plastic so why are we still using plastic??

Single-use plastic water bottles are polluting our environment as they are non-biodegradable. Studies have also shown that traces of plastic are found in the liquids they hold, which has the potential to be damaging to human health. Reusable bottles and cups can last a lifetime and save people money in the long-run. There are many alternative materials to plastic packaging that are biodegradable and just as effective.

Local estate residents have so far not won any concessions to their vision for the regenerated estate even though these proposals have been in the public arena for well over two years. There have been repeated calls over this time for the Council to commit to delivering on these demands. But so far it has fallen on deaf ears. Enough is enough. It is more than time that residents were listened to. Started by: Phil Bevin (Kingston & Surbiton Labour Party)

Because I like catching a glimpse of Stonehenge as I drive past on the A303. Putting the road in a tunnel will spoil this pleasure for millions, and their children.
