MAKE YOUR BIG GARDEN BIRDWATCH EVEN BIGGER As I write this article, I’m taking part in the Big Garden Birdwatch. This is an annual survey, run by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), which relies on families and individuals counting the birds they see in their garden for one hour. It takes place on the last weekend of January and you can choose to watch your birds at a time to suit you. Over half a million people currently take part in this survey making it the most successful citizen science project in the UK. The survey has been running since 1979 and, over that time, numbers of common garden birds such as starling, greenfinch and song thrush have been shown to have dropped dramatically.

Taking part in this survey is a great introduction to the systematic methods used by birdwatchers to record the populations and movements of birds, but did you know that you can take your contribution a step further? If you have time to watch your garden once every week, you can provide researchers with more valuable, standardised data than a one-off, random count.

The British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) is a conservation organisation that is responsible for recording all other bird related data, mainly through a volunteer community. The BTO offers a chance to watch and record birds and other wildlife in your garden in a more robust and meaningful way. This survey is called, simply, Garden BirdWatch (GBW) and was launched in 1995. Up until then, garden bird data was only taken on a more regular basis during specially funded projects. The main obstacle for running longer surveys is the high administration cost generated when collating and processing large amounts of data. To overcome this obstacle, the BTO made a decision to ask participants for a voluntary contribution to take part in the survey. In return, participants receive an introductory book, a quarterly magazine and on-line resources. In addition, participants have the knowledge that they are providing more valuable, standardised data for researchers.

Training courses are also provided.

So why haven’t you heard of the BTO survey?

10 | SUBURBAN MAGAZINE

Well the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch gets a lot of publicity. This is a charity with more than one million members so it can afford to employ a talented marketing team to raise awareness of the campaign. The campaign itself also engenders a lot of publicity for RSPB and its work. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that and, if it gets more and more people interested in birds and conservation, then I fully support it and promote it to my birdwatching groups. The BTO, in contrast, is a much smaller organisation.

It has very few staff and relies on thousands of volunteers to collect and record important data about birds and other wildlife. It receives most of its regular revenue from participating volunteers and academics pay for specific data sets for research projects. You’re only likely to hear about the BTO when you’ve become more interested in birds. So, if you want to make your Big Garden Birdwatch even bigger, visit the BTO Garden BirdWatch website and get involved. http:// www.bto.org/volunteer-surveys/gbw/about Where was Part 3?

ALWOODLEY REVIEW Alwoodley is a peaceful place. The numbers of burglaries, thefts and general incidents of anti-social behaviour each month are usually the lowest in the city.

We should be proud of the community that has evolved here over the generations.

Most of the credit goes to local people of course, but we should also acknowledge the contribution of our Police Community Support Officers. These are the people you see walking (yes, walking, not driving

around in big, warm highpowered cars) around our streets day after day.

They do not get involved in breaking up gangs of international terrorists or arrest speculators who are fixing interbank lending rates. They do the stuff that affects our daily lives.

Inconsiderate parking near schools, occasional noise and even more occasional vandalism, some neighbour disputes, unruly dogs and inconsiderate parking near schools (yes, I know) They are the most patient people you could wish to meet - calm when most people (including councillors,

you will be amazed to hear) find it difficult to listen to the fifth rambling explanation of a grievance, objective when most people (including some councillors, you will be amazed to hear) want to point out that the solution to a grievance might just be in the hands of the person complaining and remarkably well-informed about what is going on our area.

They are the best development in policing since Dixon of Dock Green retired. We should look after them and help them whenever we can.

LEEDS APPRENTICESHIPS EVENING This year’s Leeds Apprenticeships Evening will take place on Monday 14 March 2016 from 5pm to 8pm at the First Direct Arena, where over 100 exhibitors with live vacancies will be available. No appointment is needed; you can just turn up on the night.

to take on an apprentice, then additional financial support may also be available.

Businesses in Leeds could be eligible for grants of up to £2,000 when they take on an apprentice aged 16 – 24 years old.

For further information, please see the Leeds Enterprise Partnership website (LEP) at: http://www.the-lep.com/age/

More and more employers are realising the benefits that come from employing apprentices. As well as giving young people an opportunity, it’s a great way to develop the skills your company will need in the future.

Employing apprentices brings fresh talent into your organisation and the combination of on-the-job training and academic-based learning makes sure they are being equipped with the right skills to do the job from day one.

Help for companies employing apprentices The Leeds Apprenticeship Hub works with employers, schools and young people to promote apprenticeships as a way to get into the world of work and start to build a career. We help match candidates with companies offering apprenticeship opportunities and we make sure companies are matched with the right training provider.

Help with recruiting apprentices is also available through the Apprentice Training Agency Leeds. For smaller companies, the ATA will act as the employing organisation, helping to reduce the costs, risk and paperwork associated with employing an apprentice.

Employers will need to pay at least the apprenticeship national minimum wage – currently £3.30 per hour. Financial support is available towards training costs. If you’re a small or medium sized business looking

APPRENTICESHIP LEVELS AND FRAMEWORKS There are three kinds of apprenticeships: intermediate (equivalent to GCSE level); advanced (A level); and higher (Degree level). They last a minimum of 12 months but in some sectors such as engineering and construction trades they can last three or four years.

Apprenticeships are available to companies of all sizes and in all sectors. Whatever line of business you are in there will be an agreed apprenticeship framework that sets out the qualifications and skills needed for specific job roles and occupations.

The frameworks are set by the relevant Sector Skills Council. They include a nationally recognised qualification and set out the things apprentices need to learn and the standards they need to achieve to do a job properly.
