/ North Halifax Partnership / Leave a comment

Lots of brilliant work is already underway to tackle climate change but we must go further and faster if we are to meet our target of Net Zero emissions by 2038. Our draft Climate Action Plan is here to make sure that happens.

Our recently launched draft climate action plan is split into six themes and sets out how we will:

    • Use our shared voice for climate action
    • Support community climate action
    • Create warm and resilient buildings
    • Grow a Green Economy
    • Transform transport and getting around:
    • Work with land and nature to protect us in the long term

This consultation is your opportunity to have your say on the future of Calderdale. We want to hear from as many people as possible, please get involved calderdale.gov.uk/ClimateActionPlan

NHS Calderdale CCG worked with partners in Calderdale (Healthwatch, Local Authority, and the Voluntary Sector) to understand the views and experiences of people living in Calderdale of the COVID vaccine.

We wanted to give people the opportunity to help influence how we shape the operational delivery of the vaccine delivery model in Calderdale and the messages we share; through understanding and learning what the public views are of the COVID vaccine and understanding any concerns or misinformation that people may have heard.

We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to those of you who have helped us to deliver over 2000 conversations on our behalf, we couldn’t have delivered this engagement without you.

Setting the standards we expect for good work in our region – consultation

/ North Halifax Partnership / Leave a comment

West Yorkshire’s Mayor Tracy Brabin has committed to putting in place a Fair Work Charter for the region.

By signing up to the Charter, our region’s employers will be making a clear commitment to a range of good employment practices that actively tackle the significant disparities which are standing in the way of ‘levelling-up’ our region, and doing so will be a practical way in which the Mayor can give those leading and aspiring employers the public recognition, support and encouragement they deserve for their efforts in providing fair work.

We are very keen to hear your views, the views of businesses from all sectors, and of all sizes, and from all our communities and groups, including those voices that are seldom heard.

Your views will help to ensure that the Charter is:

•             designed to be ambitious in terms of clearly setting out the Mayor’s expectations for fair work

•             practically achievable by all our region’s employers and of tangible benefit to them, and not just those in specific sectors, or our largest employers

•             of clear benefit and value to all, including our most disadvantaged communities and groups

By taking part in this consultation you will help us to understand what employment practices are most relevant to different types and sizes of employers, and which will deliver those tangible benefits to employers, employees, communities and West Yorkshire.

Details of the consultation and how to respond are here https://www.yourvoice.westyorks-ca.gov.uk/fwc

Please note that the consultation closes on 22 April 2022.
