Imagine! Belfast Festival of Ideas & Politics

imagine! belfast festival of ideas & politics

Belfast

The 8th Imagine! Belfast Festival proved to be a successful offering involving 147 events and 359 speakers & performers during 21-27 March 2022. The eclectic week of talks, workshops, theatre, poetry, comedy, music, exhibitions, film and tours attracted an audience of 9,210 online and in-person attendees. Most of the events (82%) were free as the festival returned to live events after two years operating online. Although Covid continued to impact on our programme with 17 events cancelled due to illness, we were still able to roll out a huge range of events including headliners such as Michael Ignatieff, Tom Robinson, Helen Thompson, Michael Longley, Ece Temelkuran, Bill Neely and a host of exciting arts and cultural events – with many sold out or oversubscribed. We have conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the festival through an audience survey(3.5% sample). Our survey found that 95% of respondents felt the festival satisfied their expectations. It was particularly pleasing to find that 60% of audience members were attending a festival event for the first time and 37% of the sample had never been to a festival venue before, which suggests that we were able to reach new audiences and introduce them to new venues and partners. Other outcomes included: 12% of attendees came from outside Northern Ireland. Of these, 13% stated the festival was the main reason they were visiting Belfast. Audience spend: Our sample spent an average of £35 attending our events Number of festival partners: 52 Number of international participants: 40 with 27 events organised by participants from outside UK & Ireland Number of free events: 121 – 82% of total events Average ticket price: £7.8 Number of workshops: 14 Number of venues used: 35 Media coverage: Total number of items: 98. Reach: 4,022,796. AVE: £181,881. PR value: £545,644 Positive feedback was also elicited from survey respondents, detailed as follows: 95% of respondents felt the festival satisfied their expectations with only 1% reporting dissatisfaction (increased from 94% in 2021) 95.3% of people answered the question ‘after attending the festival, would you be more likely to attend other politics-related events’ (88% last year) 97.8 of respondents stated they were more likely to recommend the festival to family and friends after attending one of our events with 1.6% stating they felt the same When asked whether the festival promotes Belfast and Northern Ireland in a positive way, 98.4% said yes, with 1.6% responding as ‘don’t know’ People appeared to be reasonably well informed about the festival. 92% of the sample stated they were either well or somewhat informed about the festival prior to attending an event Respondents overwhelmingly found the subject matter of the event/performance as the main reason for attending the festival. However, familiarity with the speaker/performer was also cited as a factor. We also asked whether respondents considered themselves to be disadvantaged and found that 21% of the sample considered themselves to fall into this category which suggests were able to significantly engage with vulnerable and less well-off sections of the community. We invited the public to suggest and organise events in November 2021 and received a record 98 proposals, most of which we were able to support. This was a higher than expected level of public participation in the festival which resulted in more events than planned taking place in the 2022 programme. We also had a greater variety of events with more place-making events, exhibitions, music and discussions/workshop events compared to previous years.

Learning Improvement Service

learning improvement service

Bromley Common

Who and what is the Learning Improvement Service? The Learning Improvement Service was set up by Phil Hatton (read about Phil here), an ex-Ofsted HMI and National Adviser. Through his extensive experience in leading inspections, surveys, good practice, advisory work and improvement consultancy, Phil has a unique and wide understanding of best practice in the Further Education sector, particularly in colleges and in work-based learning. He is utilising his knowledge to help colleges and other providers of training improve the learning experience they give to their learners. The LIS only wants to work with those who have a real will to improve their provision, by establishing where you are now and where you would like to be in the future. We do not intend to just help to ‘patch you up’ to get you through an inspection, but to help you make sustainable improvements. We use only the best people, who know what they are doing, because they have done it themselves. Below is a brief summary of the main ways that we can support you (however, please contact us if you require something else not listed below): Consultancy support to improve key aspects of your provision - consultancy support to cover key aspects of quality improvement systems such as self-assessment reporting, position statements, improvement planning, observation of teaching, learning and assessment, sharing of good practice, course reviews and evaluation, the user voice and being prepared for short or full Ofsted Inspections. Phil can also help you to improve English and maths and ensure that your safeguarding is exemplary. Providing a ‘critical friend’ service to check and validate self-assessment, observations of teaching and other key quality processes such as course reviews – confirmation that you are moving in the right direction – we’ll work with you to confirm you are doing the right things in the right way, responding specifically to your needs, keeping you on target to improve your provision. This is one of the key areas of our work particularly from September through to February. Phil will also provide you with support by email or phone if needed prior to and during inspections. Safeguarding, Prevent and British Values Reviews – Phil has developed real expertise in what the best practice of the sector is and can work with you over two days to check out every aspect and leave you with a position statement of where you are and what you can do to be outstanding. Phil can also provide bespoke training and materials to raise awareness of staff, governors and learners Apprenticeships and subcontracting – Phil knows all there is to know about these two areas and has helped transform some of the biggest college and worst performing providers in terms of their success rates. The ideal scenario is a five day visit to check and sample how you do things, suggest improvements and provide you with the resources needed, finishing with a half-day staff development that is bespoke to your improvement needs. Please contact Phil as long in advance as possible to get time allocated for this Internal inspection or review of areas requiring improvement - a tried and tested way to improve an area is to first gain an informed view of exactly where that area is in terms of strengths and weaknesses, using an expert with extensive inspection experience. Unlike an Ofsted inspection, all feedback to staff and managers observed in an area is given constructively to help improve practice for the benefit of learners (while also giving you robust evidence for your OTLA system, SAR and QIP). An internal review could be for an area of learning or for a cross-college aspect such as safeguarding, equality and diversity, or course reviews. All consultants undertaking this work are personally known to Phil Hatton as to their ability to do so. The LIS will only conduct such work when they have the right person to do it (often Phil himself). You will receive a report that focusses on ways of improving the area reviewed, based on the best practice of the sector that is proven to work (not just telling you what has been seen, which is the usual practice of most consultancy companies). Helping individual institutions in the sector achieve good or outstanding teaching, learning and assessment through establishing robust observation of teaching, learning and assessment (OTLA) systems – depending on where your system is we can its validate current robustness by conducting observations (joint ones are best value as they train your staff) and scrutinising the gradings and paperwork historically awarded. If more work is required, we’ll equip you with the tools (training, paperwork and systems) to establish an OTLA system that delivers accurate and well recorded findings by your observers. Your observation system will help keep a focus on promoting improvement, identifying and promoting the sharing and adaptation of good practice by teachers (a reoccurring weakness in Ofsted inspections in the past year). We will provide you with the training, paperwork and systems to move your staff forward, encouraging their collaboration in the development and sharing of resources, so your staff will deliver learning in true teams. We will support you with either graded or ungraded systems. An approach of conducting joint ‘learning walkthroughs’ of 20 to 25 minutes duration is providing many institutions with an overview of their provision and enables the judgements of college observers to be tested out for their accuracy and breadth. Sharing exemplary practice and systems in self-assessment with you, leading to quality improvement planning that moves you forward – we’ll support you in developing your capacity to self-assess all of your work honestly and robustly so that your staff ‘own’ the resultant self-assessment reports and improvement plans, understanding their part in moving you forward. Few are really good at self-assessment, we can make sure that you are and that self-assessment moves you forward. Several colleges and providers have received very positive feedback about their SARs in 2016 following support and the use of LIS templates, particularly the use of a two page Executive Summary SAR that helps focus improvement actions. If you have a 50 page SAR it will not be an effective improvement tool. Helping you to produce position statements – if you think you are likely to be inspected it is important to be able to say where you are ‘now’ as self-assessment looks back on the past year - we’ll support you in writing effective position statements for key areas that tell you and others exactly where you are for that area. They are a great way to demonstrate to inspectors that you know your provision and have helped a number of LIS clients move from a grade 4 inadequate to a grade 2 good. Phil has also helped a number of colleges achieve grade 1s for their leadership and management. An exemplar position statement can be seen here but is not as good as what you will finish up with (samples can be shared)!! Conducting a confidential ‘health check’ of your organisation by one or more of the top and most experienced recent HMIs (and previously lead inspectors with the FEFC, TSC and ALI) – if it is sometime since your last inspection or there have been significant changes in management or what you offer, a ‘health check’ could be invaluable. We’ll examine your leadership, management, performance and quality improvement against and beyond the requirements of the September 2015 Common Inspection Framework in a way that can only be achieved by being carried out by the right people. Depending on institutional size and complexity, this totally confidential and focused ‘health check’ will ensure you know your provision inside out and have no surprises should you be inspected. It will help you to decide and prioritise how to move your provision on.

A DETAILED GUIDE TO AFFILIATE MARKETING TRACKER: WHY I CHOOSE UPPROMOTE AFFILIATE MARKETING SOFTWARE Affiliate marketing is a powerful strategy for driving sales, expanding brand reach, and boosting revenue. However, managing affiliate campaigns effectively can be a daunting task without the right tools. As someone who's worked with affiliate programs for quite some time, I can confidently say that using an affiliate marketing tracker is one of the best ways to streamline the process and ensure that affiliates are properly compensated for their efforts. In this article, I will discuss the importance of affiliate marketing trackers, what they do, and why Affiliate software with fraud prevention [https://uppromote.com/] has been my go-to tool for managing and tracking affiliate marketing campaigns. WHAT IS AN AFFILIATE MARKETING TRACKER? An affiliate marketing tracker is a software tool designed to monitor and track the performance of affiliate links, campaigns, and affiliates themselves. The primary function of an affiliate marketing tracker is to provide detailed analytics about clicks, conversions, sales, and other relevant metrics associated with each affiliate’s performance. These metrics help affiliate managers understand which affiliates are driving results and which campaigns are performing best. By using an affiliate marketing tracker, businesses can: * Monitor clicks: Track how many people click on an affiliate’s unique tracking link. * Track conversions: See how many of those clicks turn into sales or leads. * Calculate commissions: Ensure that affiliates are rewarded based on actual performance. * Optimize campaigns: Adjust marketing strategies based on real-time data. Affiliate marketing trackers also allow businesses to track conversions across multiple platforms, ensuring they never miss out on any data related to affiliate sales, which ultimately helps in making informed decisions. WHY AFFILIATE MARKETING TRACKERS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR SUCCESS Affiliate marketing can be incredibly profitable, but it’s crucial to have accurate and real-time tracking to ensure that all affiliates are properly compensated, campaigns are optimized, and results are maximized. Here's why having an affiliate marketing tracker is essential: 1. REAL-TIME PERFORMANCE INSIGHTS One of the biggest advantages of using an affiliate marketing tracker like UpPromote is the ability to monitor affiliate performance in real-time. Instead of waiting for end-of-month reports or manually checking each affiliate’s stats, I can instantly see how well my affiliates are performing. With UpPromote, the dashboard gives me immediate access to key metrics like click-through rates, conversion rates, and the number of sales generated by each affiliate. This makes it easier for me to identify top performers and recognize areas where improvements are needed. For example, if I notice that an affiliate is driving a lot of traffic but not many conversions, I can quickly reach out to them for feedback or offer additional promotional materials to help boost their performance. 2. ACCURATE COMMISSION TRACKING AND PAYMENTS Managing affiliate payments is often one of the most time-consuming and complex aspects of affiliate marketing. Without a reliable tracker, commission calculations can become tedious and prone to error. With UpPromote, I no longer have to worry about manually calculating commissions. The software tracks every sale made by an affiliate and automatically calculates commissions based on pre-set rates. This means I can pay my affiliates on time, every time, with zero mistakes. The automated tracking and commission calculation make it much easier to scale the program, especially as I add more affiliates. Moreover, the software offers various payment methods like PayPal or bank transfer, allowing me to send payouts without dealing with any manual paperwork. 3. ENHANCED AFFILIATE RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT A good affiliate marketing tracker doesn’t just track sales; it also provides insights into affiliate behavior and performance. UpPromote helps me manage my relationships with affiliates more effectively by giving me access to important data like: * Affiliate activity levels: I can see which affiliates are actively promoting my products and which are not. * Affiliate performance history: I can track an affiliate’s sales performance over time, which helps me identify long-term top performers or those who may need additional support. * Customizable goals: I can set specific goals for individual affiliates or entire teams and track progress against those goals. With this data, I can maintain strong relationships with my affiliates. If an affiliate is struggling, I can offer them additional support or incentives. If someone is excelling, I can reward them with higher commissions or exclusive offers. 4. FRAUD PREVENTION AND ACCURATE REPORTING Affiliate fraud is a real concern, and one of the key reasons why affiliate marketing trackers are so important is that they help detect suspicious activity. UpPromote includes fraud detection tools that automatically flag potential issues, such as duplicate clicks or unusual patterns in affiliate activity. This helps me ensure that only legitimate sales are counted and that affiliates aren’t taking advantage of the system. Additionally, the platform provides detailed, customizable reports that give me a clear overview of my affiliate program's performance. Whether I’m reviewing a specific campaign, comparing affiliate performance, or analyzing overall revenue, UpPromote's reporting tools give me accurate insights that are essential for making data-driven decisions. 5. INCREASED TRANSPARENCY AND TRUST One of the most important aspects of a successful affiliate program is building trust between affiliates and the business. With UpPromote, the transparency of tracking and reporting builds confidence among my affiliates. They know exactly how their sales are being tracked and what commissions they are earning in real-time. This transparency ensures that affiliates are motivated to continue driving traffic and conversions. Also, the fact that I can show affiliates their performance stats and commission reports fosters a sense of fairness and accountability in the program. WHY I CHOOSE UPPROMOTE AFFILIATE MARKETING SOFTWARE While there are many affiliate marketing trackers available, UpPromote stands out because of its user-friendly interface, powerful features, and seamless integration with my existing e-commerce platform. Here’s why I consider UpPromote to be the best option for affiliate tracking: 1. COMPREHENSIVE TRACKING AND AUTOMATION One of the standout features of UpPromote is its ability to track affiliate links and automate processes. The software not only tracks clicks and conversions but also automatically handles commission calculations, payment processing, and reporting. This automation saves me countless hours of manual work and reduces the chances of errors, especially when dealing with large volumes of sales. 2. SEAMLESS INTEGRATION WITH SHOPIFY As someone who runs a Shopify store, seamless integration was essential for me. UpPromote integrates effortlessly with Shopify, syncing all my affiliate data without requiring any technical expertise. This integration ensures that all sales and affiliate activities are accurately tracked across my e-commerce store, giving me real-time access to data without any manual entry. 3. CUSTOMIZABLE REPORTING AND INSIGHTS With UpPromote, I can create custom reports tailored to my business needs. Whether I need to track affiliate performance by campaign, geographic location, or sales volume, the platform provides the flexibility to customize reporting as I see fit. This feature is crucial for understanding how different affiliates or campaigns are performing and for optimizing my affiliate program over time. 4. AFFILIATE SUPPORT AND COMMUNICATION Managing affiliate relationships is made easy with UpPromote's communication tools. I can easily send updates, performance reports, and promotional materials to my affiliates, keeping them engaged and informed. Additionally, if an affiliate needs assistance, I can quickly reach out to them through the platform, streamlining communication. 5. SCALABILITY As my affiliate program grows, UpPromote scales effortlessly with it. I don’t have to worry about outgrowing the platform because it’s designed to handle programs of all sizes. Whether I’m working with a handful of affiliates or hundreds, UpPromote manages everything with ease, making it perfect for both small and large-scale affiliate operations. CONCLUSION An affiliate marketing tracker is an essential tool for managing and optimizing affiliate programs. Whether you're a small business owner or running a large affiliate network, using an efficient tracker like UpPromote Affiliate Marketing Software can drastically improve the management of your affiliate campaigns. With real-time tracking, automated commission calculations, fraud prevention tools, and customizable reporting, UpPromote has made affiliate marketing a breeze for me. If you're serious about running a successful affiliate marketing program and want to streamline your processes, I highly recommend giving UpPromote a try. It has transformed the way I track and manage my affiliate marketing efforts, and I’m confident it will do the same for you. *

London

We are a leading London maternity hospital and care for more than 8,000 pregnant women and birthing people and their babies each year. We provide all aspects of obstetric and midwifery care, from before conception and before birth (antenatal) to birth and after delivery (postnatal). The majority of pregnant women and people will be cared for by our expert team of midwives who are experienced in supporting those with uncomplicated pregnancies and births. When your circumstances are more complex, our specialist obstetric doctors and allied health professionals will work alongside your midwife to give you the care and support your need to have a safe and satisfying birth. You will have your own ideas about how you would like your baby to be born – whether at home or in hospital – and we do our best to help you to achieve this. We have obstetric-led birthing rooms, midwife-led birth suites with birth pools, obstetric theatres for both planned and emergency caesareans, and a homebirth service. Are you pregnant and want to have your baby with King's? You do not have to see your GP before contacting us. Please complete the King's College Hospital antenatal self-referral form to refer yourself and send to kch-tr.antenatalreferral@nhs.net. We will then email you with a reference number to confirm we have received your referral. Your first appointments with the midwife and scanning team will be sent to you either via post or email. Please note we may contact and share information with other health professionals as required. We see pregnant women and people who live in the below postcode areas in Lambeth, Southwark, and Lewisham. Referrals from those who live outside this catchment area will also be considered: SW2, SW4, SW8, SW9, SW16 SE1, SE4, SE5, SE11, SE14, SE15, SE16, SE17, SE19, SE21, SE22, SE23, SE24, SE25, SE26, SE27 CR7 Antenatal care (before the birth) This is provided by the midwifery team caring for women and pregnant people in your local area, alongside your GP or obstetrician. During your pregnancy, you will have regular appointments to make sure you and your baby are well. You will be offered routine health checks such as blood tests and other screenings, you can read more about the different scans, tests and antenatal care you can expect on the NHS website. Your screening choices are explained in this screening information leaflet, which is produced by Public Health England and available in several languages. We also provide care if screening finds you have an infectious disease, including Hepatitis B, HIV or syphilis. Badger Notes You can access your pregnancy notes and leaflets via the Badger Notes website or app. Your account will be activated after your first midwife appointment. You can use the digital maternity notes platform to communicate with your care team and we recommend you use the ‘Conversations’ option to share your birth preferences with us before your birth. Your midwife can help you with this. Clinic and scan locations Read your appointment letter carefully to see where to go for your appointments, because these are held at a variety of locations. This includes children’s centres, GP and health centres, and a number of buildings on the King's site, including Stork on the Hill, Midwives House and the Community Midwives Centre. Ultrasound (nuchal) scans take place in the Harris Birthright Centre, in the Fetal Medicine Research Institute. Buildings on the hospital site are shown on the King's campus map.

Institute Of School Business Leadership

institute of school business leadership

Manchester

The Institute can trace its origins to informal gatherings amongst the earlier pioneers of state school business leadership over 40 years ago. As our education system has evolved, the education workforce has had to adapt. As schools continue to be afforded more local autonomy, and with it more direct accountability, the need for well-trained, qualified and competent school business professionals (SBPs) has become increasingly important in all school leadership structures. Between 2001 and 2012, the National College led a government-sponsored programme to develop thousands of SBPs. The coalition government favoured a move towards a sector-led, self-improving system, which signalled the end of National College SBP sponsored programmes. To continue the important SBP workforce professionalisation work initiated by the National College, in 2017 ISBL became a nationally recognised professional body by being granted the prestigious status of institute. Our role in the education system ISBL’s principal function is to provide all education stakeholders with confidence in the capability of school business professionals. In order to adequately serve our education system, this workforce needs to consist of technically competent, highly skilled and experienced practitioners. Here at ISBL, we set the benchmark for effective practice through sector-endorsed professional standards and provide development opportunities for our professional community and their institutions through a portfolio of quality-assured qualifications, training, resources, research and events. Helping secure a brighter future for our children: A blueprint for school business leadership practice This is a statement of ISBL’s intent, with effective school resource management at its core. It sets out our vision and commitment to supporting the ongoing development of a critical, fit-for-purpose workforce, along with the necessary steps towards equipping a cadre of professionals ready and able to support other school and trust leaders in responding to the complex challenges of our evolving education system. Download a copy of the ISBL blueprint here. How we influence policy ISBL aims to remain politically neutral. Using a non-partisan approach, we provide the Government with feedback from our community and a technical steer in areas of policy relevant to our expertise. In essence, we act as the conduit between policy and practice. We support all school business professionals We recognise the professional diversity that exists within the SBP community. In a mixed-economy education system, it is inevitable that there will be a variety of operating models – some very large and some much smaller. The structures that support these organisations will differ, as will levels of responsibility, accountability and complexity. It is therefore unsurprising that there are many versions of the SBP role. As an institute, it is our aim to develop and support practitioners at every stage of their career journey, whether they are an aspiring SBP, a practitioner in a standalone setting or indeed operating at an executive level across a number of schools.

Ju Dachi Martial Arts

Chelmsford

Ju Dachi Martial Arts Association was launched in 2007 and its goal is to promote and teach the true meaning and traditions of Martial Arts in a non-political manner in the UK, by providing a service based on equal opportunities for all. Our mission statement truly represents who we are as a company. All our instructors are passionate about karate and believe in a simple motto. Our motto is simple ‘Karate for all’. Everyone has the right to learn Karate in a fun and safe atmosphere for all. Below you can read our mission statement in greater detal. Promoting The True Traditions of Martial Arts What is the true meaning of Martial Arts? This is quite a complex topic. It is a sad fact that over the years many Martial Art systems, whether it is Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc… have become seriously diluted in order to make things easier for their students for the pure purpose of making money, or these systems have been diluted by individuals removing a lot of content and only teaching things that mattered to them. What these individuals forget is that their system had a foundation from which they learnt. By removing that foundation, their students train missing some of the important content, without the whole knowledge. When the student becomes an instructor, then they do the same and thus over the years Martial Arts such as Karate, Judo, Wing Chuan etc, become diluted and knowledge is then lost. We, at the Ju Dachi Martial Arts Association believe in preserving the true traditions, techniques and their meanings. This is why it takes at least 4 to 5 years to achieve 1st Dan Black Belt. We are very proud that we are preserving this knowledge and developing our systems to be effective in the real world, while never forgetting the foundations taught, and the history and origin of the martial art. Teaching In A Non Political Manner We only care about training and learning the true meanings of martial arts. We leave all the politics outside the Do Jo and concentrate on the training, learning, mastering ourselves and our students. Did you know that the only reason Karate is not in the Olympics is because there are so many organisations, and they are too divided? Our approach is simple, we teach martial arts in a traditional manner and with a practical approach for today’s day and age. We are just happy with you training at our school and being part of our martial arts family. We leave all the silly, childish bickering and debate outside the Dojo, and we always encourage our students to try and learn any other martial arts. We also open our doors to other associations, such as RKAGB, who occasionally run courses for us. Equal Opportunities For All All our students are given fair opportunities regardless of background, religion, race, sex or age. In our school of Martial Arts, all our students are taught and treated as individuals. Children learn in a fun, caring and safe atmosphere, as well as our adult students. We do not tolerate or accept racism, sexism, bullying, etc in any way shape or form, as this has no place in any Martial Art or healthy lifestyle. You will find that all our students train hard and will offer any new student a warm welcome. One of our mission statements is “Karate for all”, without any discrimination. We also run schemes with local tenant halls, to improve healthy lifestyle and keep children out of the streets in the community. All our students will be given opportunities to take part in courses, events and exams. Even though all students will have this opportunity, those who really stand out will be given a chance to become a full time instructor, and eventually all the support they need to run their own Ju Dachi Martial Arts club. At our school we all work together, and rest together and students/parents or carers can talk to the instructors directly at any time if they have any queries, or suggestions. We want students to get involved, we listen, we act. We welcome feedback.
