There are students who may struggle with the format of GCSE and find Functional skills easier to understand yet it is not recognisable like GCSE. Why not? I want to know why it is not possible to be a recognised examination process, as Edexcel GCSE? I struggle with GCSE. However I find Functional skills less confusing. I am wondering if it could by a recognizer for students with mild to moderate learning difficulties or have discaculia or dispraxia?

Our kitchen is non funded completely volunteer run and serves over 40 homeless, isolated and vhuranable people a week for free. We have build relationships with business who donate food. We have created relationships with people who are on the outskirts of our society. We have continued & will continue to offer communtiy on the street but we fear we will lose our homeless members of we can't provided a warm dry place to eat together.

If these companies are allowed to follow through with these proposals then the entire way of life of the residents of Ardersier will change for ever. The high level and type of vehicle they want to use before and after construction will damage not only the roads but the 200 year old properties which are along this route. These properties need to be preserved not destroyed. Help us stop these companies from destroying our historical village.

I trained as a nurse and qualified in 1967. This was how I was trained. It would remove the need for Agency staff and thereby save millions! I am concerned that standards of care are falling because of volume of patients, plus lack of supervision/knowledge by ward managers! You do not need a degree to Care, and that will never change with technology. Having spoken to other nurses of my era we all feel the same. Hunt is not listening!

Building memories for our children and making the street look cleaner it's an eyesore

As Scotland moves forward to whatever it's new future entails the fact that the oil industry is in the doldrums and Scotland is a world class destination means tourism will only become more important. The Isle of Skye, whilst becoming ever more popular with visitors, is currently under resourced to meet growing demand to visit the island. This must be addressed to make sure a real opportunity for Scotland's future is met.

These roads are constantly used by both vehicles and pedestrians and cyclists. Most drivers drive at a very high speed along these roads which the Parish Council feels could have a serious or fatal consequences There have been 2 fatalities in 2014 After many failed attempts to persuade the authorities to act and assist Lyndhurst Parish Council, we feel it's time to ask the public to support our cause to prevent anymore injuries or fatalities.

A generation of Haemophiliacs were infected with HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C through contaminated blood products (Factor 8 & 9) on the NHS throughout the early 1980's. People with haemophilia can bleed into the joint space after an injury or, at times, without obvious cause. The pressure of blood filling the joint cavity causes significant pain and can lead to chronic swelling and deformity. This is a condition which can, at best, be delayed, but invariably leads to chronic Arthritis. Unlike modern clotting agents the Factors given to this generation weren't as effective as they are now and it's very rare to find a patient who hasn't suffered lasting multiple joint damage. In recognition of this many were awarded higher lifetime rates of Attendance Allowance and or Mobility Allowance (now combined into DLA). This has allowed many to live a much more productive and full life than they otherwise could. DLA is currently being replaced by Personal Independence Payment. This requires anyone in receipt of DLA, regardless of term awarded, to undergo an assessment which ranges from highly stressful to traumatic. Given that most surviving Haemophiliacs from this group have already been left traumatised by the multiple infections given to them many are viewing this assessment with much trepidation and concern. Some Haemophiliacs have surrendered the benefit rather than have to go through it. The Scottish Parliament has taken steps to alleviate the financial concerns of this group, well above the lamentable efforts by the UK parliament and should be applauded for their compassion and understanding. It would greatly help the survivors further if they were made exempt from this humiliating process.

As parents are being made to support 2 schools and face logistical nightmares up and down the country.

A speed awareness can modify and change driving behaviours, fines /points are less effective. Might save more lives on the road!

There is a huge vegan and vegetarian community in Cambridge who would love to have more options for quick and easy meals. There are 1373 people in the vegan and vegetarian Facebook group, and many more people who eat veggie diets for health or environmental reasons. The Cambridge Vegan Fair 2016 is taking over the Cambridge Guildhall, one of the biggest venues in the city. The United Nations recommended a global move to a vegan diet in 2010, explaining its potential to reduce environmental degradation and chronic diseases. Many people are choosing to do this, and it is slowly becoming a mainstream choice. Pret a Manger can help to bring about this positive change in society at a faster rate by opening more veggie Pret stores. http://www.eater.com/2015/2/16/8048069/un-says-veganism-can-save-the-world-from-destruction

We are fighting for the monies that both Labour and Tory Government have taken from the Miners since 1994/5. This money has been taken at a rate of 1m per-day,which equates to £8bn in total. We are looking to start a on-line Petition to call upon the U.K Government to review the Mineworkers Pension from the 50/50 sharing of the surpluses, to a realstic percentage. We are looking to the people of the UK to support the miners in this fight as the mine workers have been the back bone of this country of a number of years.
