Sefton Lights up the Civic
Buildings to support awareness of event production industries
SEFTON Council will be lighting
up Bootle Town Hall and Crosby Library in red tonight, Wednesday, 30 September
2020, in support of the Global Industry Awareness Day for the Production
Services and Live Events sector. Buildings across the City Region will be
illuminated red as part of the event to highlight to the public and the
government what the industry does and its huge economic and cultural value. It
is part of a global campaign to draw attention and gain government recognition
that the industry still urgently needs support. The campaign is supported by
Sefton, who are the Liverpool City Region’s Borough of Culture for 2020. As part
of the event, which is organised by #WeMakeEvents, 60 beams of white light will
be pointed into the sky across the UK, each beam representing 10,000 jobs at
risk. People can find out more about the event at:-
WeMakeEvents.com. Cllr Trish Hardy Sefton
Council’s main Borough of Culture sponsor said:- "These 'back-stage'
production related industries are hugely important to our cultural life and to
our economy, but are largely unseen. We are proud to be the Liverpool City
Region’s Borough of Culture for 2020, despite the impact of current
circumstances on our programme, and Sefton Council is pleased to be able to join
this event and support them tonight."
Safeguarding Adults in Care Homes
CARE
England, the largest representative body for independent
providers of adult social care, has responded to a
consultation document on safeguarding adults in care homes
from the National Institute for Heal October in and Care
Excellence (NICE). Professor Martin Green OBE, Chief
Executive of Care England, says:- "Care England
welcomes this guidance, but has taken the opportunity to
suggest some areas that need further emphasis. The
relationship between empowering the ethos of the Human
Rights Act and the Mental Capacity Act needs to be explored
and is especially pertinent given the challenges around
guidance concerning visiting care homes during the
pandemic."
NICE is expected to publish the guidance in February 2021:-
NICE.Org.UK
Safeguarding adults in care homes is of paramount
importance. Martin Green continues:- "We also urge
NICE to delve into the interrelationship between the adult
safeguarding teams and the adult social care commissioning
practice, to ensure providers have a consistent framework to
work within."
