Many hours are covered in schools by supply teachers and external agencies who employ the majority of cover staff, can inadvertently create a barrier to connecting good schools to good supply teachers. Examples are supply teachers wear a visitors badge instead of a staff badge, they have no keys to open doors often children can have more access, they have lessons in one part of the school then have to go to the opposite end of the school for the next lesson, often when they turn up late to a class, and have managed to find staff or pupils to open the door, the cover work provided is non existent or inappropriate. Children and staff in general have lower expectations of supply staff and this is counter productive for good classroom management. Supply teachers often have no relationship with senior management or TAs, no real meaningful access to IT system and this and many more challenges are often met by talented NQTs at the beginning of their career with predictable consequences. This could easily be sorted by schools recruiting their own supply teachers as they used to and this would mean schools could use their own part time staff or retired, or left but willing to come in for a couple of days. This in time would improve the quality provision of supply cover and drive up standards. Over my 24 year teaching career I have seen state education improve enormously and this is one of the ways to drive it up further.

At a time when employees are being made redundant, having hours and working conditions lowered, when we are reducing and losing services it is absolutely disgraceful they should recieve this pay rise which could pay to keep several people in a job. They say they haven't reviewed the senior officials pay in recent years but the ordinary employees haven't had a a pay rise for years either. A small percentage pay rise to someone on a low wage won't cost much but at their already extortionate wages this will cost a fortune. A wage increase for the highest paid employees at this time is an outrage and we the undersigned ask the councillors to block this move. This wage rise could pay for several people to be kept in work or keep essential services running. It is disgusting that while people are losing their jobs and services they will recieve more on what are already extortionate wages.

In September 2015, Justice Minister Andrew Selous, dropped promises made in the Conservative manifesto to crack down on corporate crimes, because he said there was “little evidence of corporate economic wrongdoing going unpunished”. This decision flew in the face of statements by the Law Commission that existing laws were “inappropriate and inadequate” and was criticized by Corruption Watch. London has been labeled by Transparency International as the world’s “number-one home for the fruits of corruption”, and since the Panama papers’ leak in April 2016, has been exposed as being at the epicenter of an intricate web of tax havens, as well as being the world’s centre for money laundering. After the 2008 crash, the financial commentator, Joris Luyendijk, said ‘the fact that nobody went to jail after such a breakdown means that there is something wrong with the rules themselves.’ NOTHING HAS CHANGED!

Because the UK needs to balance its books when Southern Rail owners made a huge profit of £100m. The tax payer should not have to bail out Southern Rail to improve its services.

The conservation of energy, leading to a reduction in the use of fossils fuels and undermining the need for nuclear power, and thus reducing CO2 emissions and global warming.

It will be cheaper and quicker than upgrading the existing congested route . It will cause far less inconvenience during the construction period. It will also cause less accidents which in turn will save the NHS some millions. It would cut down on the amount of pollution from stationary vehicles which lasts for much of the day on the existing route

Coral reefs around the word provide a haven or habitat for many marine species of fish and eco logically sensitive creatures as well as provide a major break water the acts against hurricane damage, billionaires should be made to respect apposed to being full of themselves and should be made to respect the law. by signing this petition you will be sending the strongest message possible that this sort of irresponsible selfish act of ecological vandalism and also to help protect the environment for future generations.

If they were to put solar panels on all council houses, it would cut carbon emissions significantly, produce cheaper electricity for the council tenants which would help benefit the environment. It would pay for itself in a few years and the government could significantly increase the amount of renewable energy. Also by selling half the energy produced to the big companies, it would benefit the government coffers and the rest could help council tenants pay less for their energy. For the first few years or so the government would be recouping the price of installation, but after that it's pure profit for them. It helps the environment, council tenants and the government.

Other nurses working with Dyslexic nurses should have training to give them an understanding of what it is like. More support and help. If nursing is a truly caring profession then why are they discriminating against dyslexic nurses. I have contacted the first minister Nicola Sturgeon to stop the unfair treatment that is given to dyslexic nurses. I would like others to join me, to campaign. I was ridiculed and humiliated at school and now I have had the same treatment from the NHS Lanarkshire. Dyslexic nurses self monitor more than other nurses and are able to develop positive strategies to overcome the challenges that present them. There needs to be more training for the other nurse to be given an understanding what it is like to be dyslexic. I was a good nurse that had no competence issues, until I told a ward manager I thought I was dyslexic and then the problems started. I have being discriminated against and told I was a risk to patients, the NHS Lanarkshire do not what Dyslexic nurses. I was told that I showed no insight into the risk I was to patient because I did not tell them I was Dyslexic, I had not been diagnosed at this time. I have left nursing because of the way I have been treated, but will campaign to help others. I think Dyslexic nurses make good nurses, but it is the ignorance of other that cause the problem. I would like others to join my campaign, we have a right to be treated fairly.

Give the UK a kick start, break the central power companies profiteering and build the severn barrage in order to provide this country with cheap, clean energy.This would have a knock on effect of making the consumer better off and just as important itwould make our manufactured goods cheaper, therefore improving the country's exports and overall GDP

The increased public awareness as a result of this amendment would put pressure on international corporations to adhere to country tax regulations, and expose criminal financial action.

This is important because over the last 35 years local authorities have been denied the funding to build enough affordable rented accommodation. At the same time, Central Government has encouraged Local Authorities to sell off council properties, thus diminishing the stock available to house people from the waiting lists.
