1 in 3 of us will suffer with a mental health issue in our lives. Whether it be depression, eating disorders, body dismorphia, suicidal feelings or stuggling to cope with life on a daily basis, yet we are not given any advice or lessons in schools to learn coping strategies or how to spot an issue and help others. We have sex education, but not education on how to cope with a relationship break up, we learn about nutrition, but not about how to spot someone who is abusing themselves with food. We need to teach our children how to cope if they or their friends, family need help.

The pedestrian crossings need urgent review in Plumstead. There are limited, inadequate and in some places non-existent safety measures in place for pedestrians to cross very dangerous roads. As an example Swingate Lane, Garland Road (by the slade), Kings Highway to name just a few. This is an urgent request to review road safety as a priority. Many very dangerous roads are located near primary schools which the council provides lolipop people however this is not adequate for the residents and elderly who need to cross these roads every day. Some of our aging and frail residents prefer not leave home due to fear of the roads.

The e petition campaign is important in addressing the void special education recognition of condition trying to provide new approaches

Leahurst Road Preschool is largely funded by charitable donations, so the improvements needed cannot happen without support from external funding, such as the Local Improvement Scheme. The funds applied for were in part to pay for access to speech therapy within the preschool setting. For some children this is vital developmental support to ensure a confident and worry-free start to school. A separate application was made for a covered area outside to enable our children to play and learn outside in all weather. Being outdoors promotes a healthy and active lifestyle, and exposes the children to nature and the world around them. Many children learn best through active movement, but this is limited in the winter months particularly without access to a covered play area.

This is important in order to allow regular members to be informed about and have a voice in the business which will take place at UCU Congress. In particular, the pensions dispute which we went on strike over is ongoing. It is vital that members stay engaged with the union's actions in relation to the dispute. We are the union.

The number of homeless people and rough sleepers in particular have been continuously rising over the past 8 years and it is time to change!

Research from 2017 at Cardiff University suggested that 60% of British people in poverty live in a household where someone is in work. This simply has to change. We are calling on the Vice Chancellor to follow suit of many other Universities, and pay staff a reasonable amount. For a university that earned a £27 million surplus before tax in 2016-17, this is the least it can do.

People need library go to get books and cds DVDs go on computers

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!

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!

If you walk into a chain Bookstore like WHSmith, Waterstones, The Works etc. you will almost inevitably never find Gay, Lesbian and Trans related fictional material that is clearly and obviously available for purchase and Non-fiction is often hidden away among Feminist and activist books which for many is highly inaccessible or is culturally shunned. This places young people and indeed older members of the Queer community in a truly difficult position. LBGTQA+ fiction is notoriously hard to get hold of in Highstreet chains and is often hidden among books about Hetrosexual people where you have to physically ask staff to find it for your which for some LBGTQA+ people puts them at risk. There needs to be at least a shelf or two dedicated to LBGTQA+ fiction and non fiction so that LBGTQA+ people can access cultural resources that involve them and their identities. It will also help to normalise the existence of LBGTQA+ people and grant educational resources to those who aren't that are accessible to all ages. Granting LBGTQA+ Fiction and Non Fiction their own dedicated section will display the historical literary achievements of people within those minorities in a way that no other place does.
