and guidance on what to consider in such assessments; strengthened
guidance on providing for pedestrians and cyclists and new guidance
on traffic control measures related to road closures, one-way
working and temporary road obstructions; enhanced advice on other
traffic control measures including works near tramways and
railways, and mobile/short duration works; and updated advice on
high visibility clothing and the signing and conspicuity
requirements for work vehicles. Effective from 1 October 2014 when

HSE has published a new, simplified version of the Health and
Safety Law Poster. It tells workers what they and their employers
need to do in simple terms, using numbered lists of basic points.
As an employer, you are required by law to either display the
HSE-approved poster or to provide each of your workers with the
quivalent 'leaflet'. The leaflet version of the poster has now been
replaced by a pocket card, which is more durable and better suited
to the workplace. (ISBN 9780717663507 in packs of 25.) The law has
been changed - for the new poster you don't have to add contact
details of your enforcing authority and HSE's Employment Medical
Advisory Service. You can add details of any employee safety
representatives or other health and safety contacts, but this is
not compulsory.
The Mental Capacity Act 2005 provides a statutory framework for
acting and making decisions on behalf of individuals who lack the
mental capacity to do so for themselves. It introduced a number of
laws to protect these individuals and ensure that they are given
every chance to make decisions for themselves. The Act has recently
been supplemented with new provisions pertaining to those who need
to be accommodated under care and treatment regimes that may have
the effect of depriving them of their liberty, but who lack the
capacity to consent. This Code of Practice provides guidance and
information for professionals implementing the deprivation of
liberty safeguards legislation on a daily basis. In some cases,
this will be paid staff, in others, those who have been appointed
by law to represent individuals who lack capacity to make decisions
for themselves (such as deputies or donees of a Lasting Power of
Attorney).The Code incorporates good practice and demonstrates how
the principles of the Act can be applied to those who have been
deprived of their liberty for their own safety, or for the safety
of others.

Five top-class plays for children, performed in theatres and
schools throughout the UK, offer a wide variety of style and
content for reading or for performance. The Honoured Guest by
Debjani Chatterjee Yorkshire-based poet and playwright Debjani
Chatterjee's play has toured schools to universal enthusiasm. 'The
children were spellbound. It was literacy in action.' Danny 306 by
David Greig with music by Tom Bancroft Premiered at the Traverse
Theatre in Edinburgh. 'A funny, sad and immensely satisfying
musical play.' Scottish Daily Mail Stepping Stones by Mike Kenny
Winner of the Writers' Guild of Great Britain award for Best
Children's play, Stepping Stones is a play specially written for
children with learning disabilities. It was premiered to great
acclaim by Interplay Theatre Company in Leeds. Jumping on My Shadow
by Peter Rumney Winner of the John Whiting Award for best new play,
Jumping on My Shadow was first presented in May 2001 by Theatre
Centre at the Half Moon Theatre, London, prior to a national tour.
It was revived for a further tour from September to December 2001.
The Imperial War Museum's archive is home to more than 20,000 hours
of moving image material spanning the twentieth century in Britain.
The clips range from documentary film and official newsreels, to
unedited combat footage, and amateur shots. In the museum's early
days the films could only be viewed through Mutoscope machines from
the late nineteenth century that functioned much like a flipbook,
giving life to a series of motionless images. The Mutoscope did not
project images on a screen, rather the machine was used by one
person at a time. To re-create the experience of watching these
historical film reals, some of the most compelling scenes have been
reproduced in these action-filled flipbooks.
As you flip through the "Spitfire Flipbook," you'll come face to
face with a 1940s Spitfire plane flying through the air. The single
seat fighter aircraft dips and dives at lightning speeds as the
pages progress. The Spitfire was the most commonly used airplane
during the Battle of Britain and was used as both a fighter-bomber
and for training.
Replicating the action of old-time film strips, these flipbooks
will be a delight for both children and adults, transporting those
who flip the pages to Britain's wartime past.
