Jo and Cathy spend this episode with National Trust project officer and ecologist Steve Hindle on the slopes of Calderdale, in what looks like an ordinary field… but isn't. They discuss the fascinating lives of fungi and their vital but often overlooked role in the ecosystem, not only as decomposers or parasites, but also as symbiotic partners engaged in a range of very sophisticated relationships with plants. Steve's partner Sarah Flood scours the field for waxcaps, pinkgills, clubs, corals and earthtongues. Each has their own ecological niche, and all are indicators of ‘ancient grassland', a rare habitat which Calderdale, with its challenging farming conditions, has managed to hold on to. Landowner Liz tells of the sometimes confusing journey her and her partner took to work out the best management options for the field, the steps they are taking to protect it, and of course, her new found passion for fungi!

If you go up to Calderdale's rough pasture and moorland during the spring and early summer you might encounter a variety of breeding birds – small ones like meadow pipits and skylarks and larger ones like oyster-catchers, golden plover, snipe and lapwings. There is perhaps none more distinctive though, both in its look and sound than the curlew – a large, elegant, brown wader with a very long curved beak and a strange, some say ghostly, bubbling song. Whilst numbers across Britain are going down and down, here in the South Pennines, we still experience their arrival every spring and seem to be holding on to our breeding curlew population. In this episode Cathy recounts her lifelong love for this iconic bird and discusses her British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) survey work, sharing insights on local population levels and how we might conserve them. We also visit a nearby beauty spot (the Bridestones) and speak to local expert Andrew Cockcroft about a community-led initiative to buy the 114-acre site and restore its peat bog and acid grassland ecosystems for the benefit of wading birds as well as other wildlife, and people.

The oxensleep in their blue yoke,the fields having beenpicked clean, the sheavesbound evenly and piled at the roadsideamong cinquefoil, as the toothed moon rises:This is the barrennessof harvest or pestilence.And the wife leaning out the windowwith her hand extended, as in payment,and the seedsdistinct, gold, callingCome hereCome here, little oneAnd the soul creeps out of the tree."

In early 2022, Sibyl Ruth was working for Cornerstones Literary Consultancy as one of their ‘core editors'. Odd things began to happen in May when she was informed that her client no longer required her services. Sibyl then found out that her profile had been removed from the Cornerstones Editors' page. The next thing she knew, the company had halted any work that Sibyl was doing for them and had effectively terminated her. Ultimately a Subject Access Request revealed that a member of staff had objected to Sibyl's gender critical views as expressed on Twitter. This was a total shock for Sibyl since, although she is a principled and proud feminist, she has always been open to discussion, debate and compromise; but her termination by Cornerstones was sudden and brutal. On the advice of friends, Sibyl contact the Free Speech Union where she quickly realised that that she wasn't alone and that this was part of a larger pattern; what listeners will recognise immediately as cancel culture or, in this case, the new ‘purification' of the publishing world. Towards the end of our conversation, and following the controversy at Calderdale library services, we touch on the latest trend of certain local authorities hiding books that don't align with current ideology. Sibyl provides some helpful context to the phenomenon, explaining how library workers are often caught in a bind (pun intended!) where customer facing staff may be left to cope with little to no relevant training. If any listeners would like to support Sibyl, then do visit her crowd funder. As Sibyl emphasises during the episode, she is hugely grateful to every single person who has helped her in this campaign.

Boff Whalley is best known for Tubthumping with the band Chumbawamba but now he's a core member of the Leeds based Commoners Choir which he founded. They sing about the world around them, about inequality and injustice, and they also love to walk. Cath Long, a fellow member, wrote to Ramblings to ask Clare to join them on a hike in the South Pennines near Todmorden in Calderdale, West Yorkshire. So, on a chilly, wet and blustery Saturday in early January, they met by the Shepherd's Rest pub and headed into the hills to ramble and sing. Boff created a choir manifesto, and one aim was to 'rehearse until we're brilliant' and they really are. Their Skelmanthorpe Flag Song, which they performed at the historic Basin Stone, was heard by fellow walkers at least two miles down in the valley. On a circular hike, which began and ended at the pub, they stopped off at Gaddings Dam, often described as the highest beach in the UK, where some choir members took the plunge and sang out from the wind-blown waves of the reservoir.

#AntiRacismInAction: West Yorkshire with West Yorkshire with Robin Landman OBE, Chris Webb and Palvinder Singh Episode 5 of 9 BFELG Livestreams #AntiRacismInAction - Making the Most of an Ethnically Diverse Britain, aired today, November 1.The Episode was co-produced by BFELG and FE News and co-anchored by Gavin O'Meara (CEO and Head of Digital, FE News), and Amarjit Basi, BFELG Director and introduced by Robin Landman OBE – one of the founding Directors of the BFELG.Robin spoke succinctly about how, for him, #AntiRacismInAction means taking personal action - the time for policies and procedures is over and all individuals must now look at themselves in the mirror and ask themselves what they can do to make a difference.Focusing on West Yorkshire, today's episode is the second within the Livestream series to explore place-based, system leadership of #AntiRacismInAction. It follows Episode 4 #AntiRacismInAction: Wales.Episode 5 is of particular interest because barely a year ago, in November 2020, the Independent Commission on the College of the Future, a UK-wide, four nations process, published The English College of the Future: A nations specific final Report. Of particular interest in the summary of recommendations are: Colleges as anchor institutions within the wider local and regional ecosystem; Skills guarantee for a post-COVID economy and future labour market changes; Diverse and representative systems leaders; A new strategic partnership with employers (an example was given – Creating the workforce of the future: a new collaborative approach for the NHS and colleges in England).Furthermore, Implementation of the FE White Paper: ‘Skills for Jobs' (published in early 2022), places an emphasis on upskilling people through lifelong learning, addressing barriers to help people to fulfil their potential and undertaking local labour market assessments (LSIPs), to support local growth and prosperity.And, West Yorkshire Combined Authority's Economic Recovery Plan, post Covid, has set two goals: inclusive growth and sustainable environment. The key inclusive growth success measures are: “increasing the numbers of people in good quality work, numbers of innovations for social good, diversity of entrepreneurs, wellbeing metrics, digital inclusion.”- all residents and communities have the skills required to be able to take up high quality employment - or start in enterprise - is central to an inclusive economic recovery- wellbeing – by first and foremost acting to reduce inequalities, is at the centre of our economic recovery plan- good work through more inclusive employment environments and interventions, and equal access to job opportunities, and- access to digital connectivity for home working, and public transport networks for helping the unemployed access the labour market and providing all communities with access to services.”So how are The English College of the Future recommendations playing out in West Yorkshire, in the context of the implementation of the FE White Paper ‘Skills for Jobs' , West Yorkshire Combined Authority's Economic Recovery Plan and the imperative - Making the Most of an Ethnically Diverse Britain? Is there an ambition to Make the most of an Ethnically Diverse West Yorkshire considering that the region's population will grow substantially over the coming two decades and is set to become significantly more ethnically diverse by 2061?Today's Guests, Chris Webb, Principal/Chief Executive Bradford College, and Palvinder Singh, Principal/Chief Executive, Kirklees College were well placed to share their insights into the practicalities, challenges and opportunities of system and place-based leadership of Anti-racism in West Yorkshire. Both CEOs were early signatories to the BFELG ‘Open letter'.West Yorkshire is a metropolitan and ceremonial county in England consisting of five metropolitan boroughs (City of Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, City of Leeds and City of Wakefield). Under devolution, these local authorities have pooled some of their resources and functions, working together as the West Yorkshire Combined Authority. According to the UK Office for National Statistics, the 2020 population estimate of the region is 2,345, 235 (81.8% White). The largest *Black heritage group is Asian. The proportion of Asian owned businesses in West Yorkshire is 11% and Bradford comprises one of the UK's biggest *Black working age populations (38%).However, *Black groups are under-represented in the workforce - local government, NHS and FE, especially in management and leadership roles.Co-anchors and Guests - Chris Webb and Palvinder Singh, discussed the opportunities and challenges for West Yorkshire's FE colleges, as they considered college local leadership roles as anchor institutions post-Covid in terms of their future student base, curricula and interface with their communities, including local employers. All these have been identified as crucial to future relevance, growth and sustainability of colleges. Bradford College is one of the biggest education and training providers in the region, with around 20,000 students studying A Levels, vocational qualifications, community courses, apprenticeships, degrees and masters level qualifications. Bradford College, Shipley College (also in West Yorkshire) and the BFELG have been working on a Local Skills Partnership Research Pilot. Kirklees College serves the local communities and business throughout the Kirklees region and works with over 1000 employers around West Yorkshire. The College is entrenched in the heart of West Yorkshire with two main centres in Dewsbury and Huddersfield and specific learning centres in Engineering and Process Manufacturing, Construction and Animal Care as well as the recently opened Pioneer Higher Skills Centre. Kirklees has affiliated with the BFELG because this provides them access to a framework of support and services for deep cultural change - #AntiRacismInAction, using the BFELG 10 Point Plan Diagnostic Toolkit as a departure point. Guests talked about the unique opportunities and challenges faced by the West Yorkshire in respect of ethnic diversity, and the success factors in seeking to address these; their respective organisational responses to ethnic diversity, and the steps being taken to move forward on this agenda. They also touched on their roles as ‘custodians' of the future legacy for their communities.Guests recognised the imperative of placing ethnic diversity at the heart of their considerations, particularly within LSIPs, in the context of devolution of the adult skills budget to the Combined Authority. The role of employers in recognising and enacting their responsibilities in investing in skills and training, including in developing diverse talent, was also identified as being critical. Palvinder Singh shared his ambition for Anti-racism to be part of Kirklees College's DNA and the interconnectedness of lived experiences. Chris Webb shared particular actions being taken by Bradford College on their Anti-racist journey.Watch the Livestream to hear Chris Webb's and Palvinder Singh's respective drivers for #AntiRacismInAction, their tips for other leaders and key players to accelerate progress towards reflecting their communities. They also shared their individual dream scenarios for Anti-racism.Tune in on Monday 8 November at 9.30am for another place-based Episode - #AntiRacismInAction: West Midlands.* 'Black' is used as an inclusive definition to refer to people from ethnically diverse backgrounds who share a lived experience of the effects of racism.

This month Stu is joined by:Dr Jen Dykxhoorn, Senior Research Fellow in Public Mental Health at UCLEd Davie , Councillor at London Borough of LambethCaron Walker, Assistant Director for Adult Public Health Improvement at Calderdale CouncilSome technical problems meant that only part of Caron and Stu's conversation could be recorded, but check out Calderdale Council's ‘Staying Well in Calderdale' Project for more on Caron's work.The group begin by defining exactly what loneliness and isolation mean and look like. They explore the importance of ‘weak ties' to feeling connected and belonging in a community, and how COVID-19 measures such as social distancing have impacted these interactions, particularly over a long period of time.Ed and Jen explain how the impact of COVID falls most heavily on those already facing inequalities, for example, availability of technology, internet access,  ability to travel and many others. They also discuss the difficulties people can face over the festive period, and whether the change in guidance over Christmas can provide relief during a time of chronic loneliness. Caron joins the discussion by explaining how the Staying well Calderdale project looks at cross-community factors and programmes such as befriending over phone and socially distanced door step visits to help people stay well.Moving towards financial impacts, Jennifer and Ed share how programmes to support financial instability (worsened during COVD-19) can be made most effective and sustainable.Finally, the group looks to the future to discuss how we might be able to use 2020 as a reset - the need to consider the environment, social determinants and individual actions altogether, and invest in research to better understand mental health, and why certain programmes succeed.Contacts & InformationDr Jen DykxhoornLinkedIn ProfileEdward DavieLinkedIn ProfileLGA's Councillor's Workbook on mentally healthier placesZero Suicide Alliance Social Risk Factor MapCaron WalkerCalderdale CouncilStu King LinkedInTwitterStu's BlogsWith thanks to:BSPHN for funding this podcast and to all of the partners, PHE, ADPH, LGA, Centre for Mental Health, Mental Health Foundation & NIHR School for Public Health Research

In this episode, Claire meets with Andrew Midgley, headteacher at Raynville Primary School and interim headteacher at Carlinghow Primary School. Andrew talks about how, initially, he had no interest in a teaching career after seeing how much work his parents, who were both teachers, had to do as he was growing up. However, this changed after he began helping his girlfriend’s son who was falling behind at school. This motivated Andrew to pursue a PGCE at Bradford University after which he ‘never looked back’. Andrew reflects on how difficult a start he had with his first teaching appointment: a year 6 class with 35 pupils, no teaching support assistant and whose previous class teacher was off ill for a long period of time. On top of this, Ofsted visited to inspect the school and judge it as inadequate in Andrew’s first week. However, from that turbulent beginning, Andrew talks about his journey moving from a class teacher role to deputy headship to being seconded to one of the most challenging and worst-performing schools in Calderdale. Here, he turned around the school achieving good with outstanding features and even receiving an award from the Department for Education recognising the school as one of the top 50 schools in the country for sustained improvement. From there, Andrew worked in a multi-academy trust followed by supporting leaders and working as a consultant, but eventually moved back to Leeds as a headteacher. With Claire, Andrew discusses the challenges he has faced in his varied leadership roles and shares his experiences of helping to turn around schools in difficult circumstances. Within these discussions, he talks about the different strategies he has implemented and shares his thoughts on what has been successful.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Being a new headteacher can be lonely. Leadership roles – particularly at the top – can be lonely jobs and, as a new headteacher, there can be very few options for support. Having a mentor or close links to other experienced headteachers can be vital giving you someone to discuss difficult situations or decisions with. Nobody, even at the top, has all of the answers all of the time. Always be looking to learn from others. This is something teachers generally do anyway, but can particularly useful for anyone aspiring to be a leader in the future. Take time to look at how the best leaders interact with others, what decisions and actions they take and why they take them. If a task isn’t beneficial, ask why it needs to be done. ‘Because we’ve always done it that way’ cannot be a reason to continue doing something that serves no purpose. Tasks done for this reason alone can unnecessarily take up teachers’ valuable time. Leaders can help improve workload by periodically reviewing what staff are asked to do and question the benefits of doing them. Look for opportunities to gain more experience. Where you can, look to gain experience of teaching in different year groups, particularly if you aspire to lead a school in the future. While you don’t have to work in all phases of a school, it can really help to have experienced teaching in at least several different year groups as you will learn about the differences in approaches and structures which can be valuable in understanding how schools work and for building your own vision for a school. Always look to make use of other people’s expertise. While having first-hand experience of teaching across a school is very useful, many teachers and leaders have not done this, and it isn’t essential. Few leaders would say that they are experts in all phases of education and the best leaders actively seek out others who are experts in their phase and make the most of their knowledge and skills. Trust and communication are key to a good life/work balance for staff. Communication between leaders and staff about key events and ongoing aspects of their lives outside of school can really help. Coupled with trust and an understanding that some people, for different reasons, might need to start and end days earlier or later than others, or might work in different ways that suit personal circumstances, can really boost morale and help everyone feel more valued and settled with how they work. But different schools work in different ways and what works in one environment might not work in another.   BEST MOMENTS “All new heads need some kind of stabilisers – like you do when you’re riding a bike – and that was vital to me because I was thirty-two and thrown into the most challenging school in the authority.” “One of the biggest helps was learning from some fantastic headteachers that I’ve worked for. I like to see myself as an amalgamation of a few different headteachers: the good points that I’ve picked up and put together.” “If I wouldn’t put my daughter in that room or with that teacher then I need to do something about it. First and foremost, what can I do to support the teacher to help the teacher to improve things?” “It’s about ‘eating the frog’. Which is, if you had to eat a frog every day for the rest of your life to survive, when would you eat it? Well the answer is first thing in the morning because otherwise it just grows and gets smellier and sweatier. You get on with it. These difficult jobs, you have to do them, just do them.” “The workload is always going to be of a particular level in a school, but it’s about making sure it’s appropriately manageable. Not having a meeting because on Thursday you always have a meeting. If there’s nothing to meet for that Thursday, do not have a meeting, because time is one of the most valuable commodities in a school.” “Sorting out that respect, attitude and behaviour is a key thing. I started as the interim head the week before we broke up for Christmas. I was kicked, punched, spat at, all sorts of things. Not because the children were like that, but because the children had been allowed to behave like that for a period of time.” “By valuing people, by acknowledging things, and by saying ‘I believe in you, what can you do for me, what can I do to help you?’ and letting them know that, hopefully helps the morale of the people there.” “I don’t want teachers spending hours marking, I want teachers being ace teachers. It’s that simple.” “Technology is great, but a lot of kids, even in my community, have got iPads, tablets, iPhones and whatever. I think real life experiences and people who can talk, getting these authors, getting these charities, getting these people into school … would give them so many wonderful experiences.”   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Teachers’ Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheTeachersPodcast/ Classroom Secrets Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ClassroomSecretsLimited/ Classroom Secrets website: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/ LIFE/work balance campaign: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/lifeworkbalance-and-wellbeing-in-education-campaign-2019/   ABOUT THE HOST Claire Riley Claire, alongside her husband Ed, is one of the directors of Classroom Secrets, a company she founded in 2013 and which provides outstanding differentiated resources for teachers, schools, parents and tutors worldwide.

Digital Health Rewired has come and gone for another year, with some 1,800 people attending the event. A key theme at this year's Leadership Summit and Expo was diversity, inclusion and representation, and Digital Health Unplugged hosted its first, but certainly not last, all-women panel discussion. Joining host Andrea Downey to talk about all things Rewired, leadership and diversity were: Prof Julia Riley, clinical lead at Coordinate My Care and consultant in palliative medicine at the Royal Marsden NHS Trust Yinka Makinde, programme director DigitalHealth.London Mandy Griffin, CIO at Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS FT Natasha Phillips, CNIO at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and newly announced CNIO for NHSX

In this episode, Claire speaks with Kate Aspin, a former deputy headteacher and now a senior lecturer at the University of Huddersfield. Kate begins by explaining her teaching journey, how she progressed three times in three years from class teacher to deputy headteacher and subsequently acting headteacher. During this time, Kate supported several Newly Qualified Teachers – including some who were finding the year a challenge - in Calderdale. This led to an interest in further developing her role in teacher training. Kate talks in detail about the different routes into teaching, the benefits of each route and the suitability for prospective students. She highlights the importance of gaining experience in schools and selecting a route that is best for you. She also mentions the challenges trainee teachers face, getting behaviour management right, the role of a mentor and working towards a LIFE/work balance. She notes the introduction of the new Early Career Framework that is due to be trialled in some local authorities - including Bradford and Greater Manchester in September 2020. This will then be rolled out nationally in the following year. The framework aims to provide continued support for Recently Qualified Teachers to help tackle teacher retention issues. Her conversation with Claire also covers the new Ofsted Framework for Initial Teacher Training and how it now mirrors the framework used within schools including ‘Deep Dives’. Kate was pleased to find that students are no longer graded but explains that this creates a ‘grey area’ around what constitutes as a ‘good’ standard and how this can be rolled out across all age ranges.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Mentors are an invaluable resource. Mentors have a crucial role in a trainee teacher’s success. Trainee teachers need good mentors. Mentors should model good practice and verbalise how they got to a certain point and provide scaffolding for the trainee. Make the implicit explicit. Prepare for the NQT year. Trainees should use the final teaching placement to reflect on what worked well and what they would do in different situations throughout the year. For instance: queries with parents, changes with the curriculum etc. Think about organising the classroom to make it work for you and to make it your own. LIFE/work balance for trainee teachers and Newly Qualified Teachers. It is important to remember that Newly Qualified Teachers and Recently Qualified Teachers are still developing and still need support. Encourage trainees or NQTs to adapt resources for what they need and not reinvent the wheel. Good is good enough. They need space to reflect and think. Have regular meetings with induction tutors as NQTs and continue this support in the RQT year. Behaviour management is key. Children who are misbehaving are not learning. Therefore, new trainees must get on top on behaviour management from the outset. The first target for new trainees must relate to behaviour management. Trainees should become familiar with the strategies used in their placement schools and develop strategies that work for them. Be certain that it is the job for you. Get experience in a school to see ‘behind the scenes’. Understand the theory behind planning, get involved in meetings and understand that teaching is a full-on job. If you know what you are getting yourself into, the rest of it will come. If not, it can be a massive shock.   BEST MOMENTS “You have to be certain it is the job for you. It has to run through you like a stick of rock.” “I’m looking for passion, realism, resilience, understanding and awareness of the subject knowledge that is involved [in teaching].” “I am willing to fail somebody. Children don’t get a say in who teaches them. They are the only people who don’t get a say. I’m not putting somebody out there who isn’t fit to teach my children or anybody else’s kids. It’s not fair on the children or the person.” “[Trainees] see an amazing teacher but they don’t have the skills to unpick where that all comes from. They don’t know what that magic is until they see it.” “We should be continuously developing ourselves as professionals but we need space to do that: space to think [and] space to reflect. I think this is greatest gift you can give your NQTs, is that space to say, ‘What’s not working in here?’” “The joy of the NQT [year] is you get to shut the door and if you haven’t got a TA, then it’s just you and the children. If you do have a hideous lesson that is a disaster then you reflect on it, pick yourself up, dust yourself down and you do it better next time.” “I think you have to be optimistic when you work with children.” “All schools need good teachers.” “I am not a big fan of governors walking into school and doing lesson observations on teachers… people in industries and from all walks of life, they don’t know what they are looking for. We need to rely on the senior leadership team.”   VALUABLE RESOURCES Get into Teaching website: https://getintoteaching.education.gov.uk/explore-my-options The Teachers’ Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheTeachersPodcast/ Classroom Secrets Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ClassroomSecretsLimited/ Classroom Secrets website:  https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/ LIFE/work balance campaign: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/lifeworkbalance-and-wellbeing-in-education-campaign-2019/   ABOUT THE HOST Claire Riley Claire, alongside her husband Ed, is one of the directors of Classroom Secrets, a company she founded in 2013 and which provides outstanding differentiated resources for teachers, schools, parents and tutors worldwide.

Mark Smith interviews Jenny Harris, creative producer for 509 Arts, about their production Calderland. Forming the centrepiece of the Landlines & Watermarks project, this "people's opera" aims to investigate, question and celebrate Calderdale's relationship with water, in the wake of the 2015 Boxing Day floods which were devastating to large parts of Yorkshire. The production has a cast of over 200 singers drawn from local communities, and a script by award-winning writer Mike Kenny. It's to be performed in the Piece Hall in Halifax, a recently-restored Grade I listed building. Jenny talks during the final weeks of rehearsals about the challenges of mounting such a massive project in a comparatively short time span, the ambition of creating an inclusive and celebratory piece of art from adversity and the roots of 509 Arts, a company focusing on theatre productions with a climate change agenda. "It's not a high art opera... but it's got that sense of drama and scale that an opera might have."

[Part 2 of 3] West Yorkshire is a county in England that has a population of over 2 million people. It covers an area of over 2,000 km² and is formed by five cities: Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Kirklees, and Calderdale.
