Overarching Principles. The NZEI and Te Kura agree that the main principles that determine collective agreement coverage for this agreement should reflect the requirements of the Employment Relations Xxx 0000 and the bargaining parameters for the State Sector, as determined by the State Services Commission, in order to build productive employment relationships though the promotion of good faith in all aspects of the employment environment and the employment relationship.
Overarching Principles. This policy covers the use that Uttlesford District Council will make of the ability to access and use information contained on the National Register of Taxi Licence Revocations and Refusals (NR3). The NR3 contains information relating to any refusal to grant, or revocation of, a taxi drivers’ licence8. This information is important in the context of a subsequent application to another authority for a drivers’ licence by a person who has had their licence refused or revoked in the past. Uttlesford District Council has signed up to the NR3. This means that when an application for a taxi drivers’ licence is refused, or when an existing taxi drivers’ licence is revoked, that information will be placed upon the register. 8 Throughout this policy reference is made to ‘taxi drivers licence.’ This generic term covers a Xxxxxxx carriage drivers licence, a private hire drivers licence and a combined/dual licence. When an application for a new drivers’ licence, or renewal of an existing drivers’ licence is received, Uttlesford District Council will make a search of NR3. The search will only be made by an officer who has been trained in the use of NR3 and who is acting in accordance with this policy. If details are found that appear to relate to the applicant, a request will be made to the authority that entered that information for further details. Any information that is received from any other authority in relation to an application will only be used in relation to that application, and the determination of it, and will not be used for any other purpose. Any data that is received will only be kept for as long as is necessary in relation to the determination of that application. This will include the period of processing that application, making a decision, notifying the applicant of the outcome of that decision, and the appeal processes. For the avoidance of doubt, any such data will be kept for a period of no more than 35 days from the date of the service of the written notification of the determination of the application9. Where an appeal to the magistrates’ court is made, the data will be retained until that appeal is determined or abandoned. Where the appeal is determined by the magistrates’ court, there is a further right of appeal to the Crown Court. In these circumstances, the data will be retained for a period of no more than 35 days from the date of the decision of the magistrates’ court. If an appeal is made to the Crown Court, the data will be retained ...

Overarching Principles. 1.1 RSAP Dwellings must not contain any Category 1 hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System as set out in the Housing Xxx 0000 and associated guidance. Where a RSAP Dwelling is a flat, all flats in the building of which it is part shall also conform to the appropriate fire protection standard. The Recipient shall be responsible for conducting fire risk assessments for all RSAP Dwellings.
1.2 Conversions of houses or other buildings into flats require both planning permission and building control approval. Loft and other conversions require building control approval. Proof of any required permissions and/or approvals shall be provided before RSAP Dwellings can be accepted for the Rough Sleeping Accommodation Programme. Permitted developments, where the quality meets the property standards set out in this Schedule, will be considered.
1.3 RSAP Dwellings above restaurants, fast food outlets or commercial premises where hazardous substances are kept shall not be acceptable for the Rough Sleeping Accommodation Programme. Neither are flats above noisy, late night opening premises such as minicab offices, clubs or pubs acceptable for the Rough Sleeping Accommodation Programme.
1.4 Purpose built flats above shops with exclusive access may be acceptable depending on the floor they are situated on.
1.5 The Energy Xxx 0000 contains powers so that from 2016 landlords should not be able to refuse reasonable requests for consent to install Green Deal measures from their tenants. The Recipient should ensure their properties meet a minimum energy efficiency standard of 'D' or that they include the maximum package of measures under the Green Deal.
1.6 All property standards are subject to changes in legislation from time to time. Where legislation changes to impose a new or higher standard than what is expressly provided for within this Schedule the relevant standard within that legislation shall apply as if it were incorporated within this Schedule. For the avoidance of doubt, the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Xxx 0000 shall represent such a higher standard. If legislation changes these standards to a lesser standard, these standards set out in this Schedule shall continue to apply despite the reduction in legislative requirements.
Overarching Principles. The parties to this agreement are committed to improving outcomes through integration and by devolving decisions about health and care in London to the most appropriate level. Once London’s devolution pilots have developed detailed plans for going further and faster in achieving greater collaboration and integration, any devolution of health powers would be subject to careful consideration by Government and national bodies, taking into account the needs of people in London and elsewhere. Proposals would need to strengthen the NHS in the London area, continue to uphold its values, standards and constitution, and reflect the principles and criteria signed off by the NHS England Board. Under any proposals agreed, healthcare services in London would remain part of the NHS. Government and national bodies are committed to a co-production approach with London partners to facilitate ultimate decisions on devolution – both by national bodies to devolve and by London to ‘receive’ devolved functions, with the expectation that these co-produced solutions will be built upon to, in time, transform the entire London health and care economy. This agreement between the national bodies and London Partners is predicated on development, agreement and subsequent delivery of a multi-year Strategic Plan for Health and Care resulting in a clinically and financially sustainable landscape of commissioning and provision, living within annual budgets and delivering fiscal balance over the Spending Review period to 2020/21. Two foundational principles will be central to London’s (and national bodies’) approach:
Overarching Principles. 2.1 The ‘agreed percentage’ methodology of service contributions is core to the entire agreement. By its nature any unilateral reduction in core funding would significantly alter the ‘agreed percentages’. This is significant on two levels. Firstly it skews the reality of proportionate local service delivery. Secondly it alters the partners liabilities in that ‘agreed percentages’ are used to not only calculate contributions for delivery but for example contributions relating to redundancies or even the liability should the agreement come to an end. For this reason it is proposed that in any local service disinvestment these must be preserved.
2.2 The second over-arching principle relates to self-funded elements (ring-fenced) of the service. Licensing is the key element of the service that falls into this category. Strict rules around cost recovery mean that licensing funding cannot be used to effectively cross-subsidise other elements of the service. To this extent any proposals must be based around the budget net of licensing income and spend. In this licensing is not alone. Other elements such as contributions to the shared case management unit, grant funding for investigations, ring- fenced public health work need to also be removed from any considerations.
Overarching Principles. Children in state care 4 or known to child protection services or in need of clinical intervention will be appropriately prioritised. Due regard will be had to their clinical need and additional vulnerability status by virtue of their circumstances of being in care or having a disability, mental health issue or having a life limiting medical condition. The HSE’s response to the recommendations of the Child Death Review Group 2012, stated that the, "...
Overarching Principles. RSAP Dwellings must not contain any Category 1 hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System as set out in the Housing Act 2004 and associated guidance. Where a RSAP Dwelling is a flat, all flats in the building of which it is part shall also conform to the appropriate fire protection standard. The Grant Recipient shall be responsible for conducting fire risk assessments for all RSAP Dwellings.

Overarching Principles. No matter what form ACP-‐EU relations take after 2020, several overarching principles must be respected. These include new principles, but also existing principles in the CPA in need of adaptation to fit today’s international context. The future partnership between ACP and EU countries must be framed in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and should contribute to its implementation at all levels. It should support a development model that is people and planet-‐centred, addresses all dimensions of sustainable development and respects human rights; a path that meets the needs of today without limiting opportunities available to future generations. The SDGs address global challenges in an integrated manner and provide a great opportunity for multi-‐stakeholder approaches to tackle them jointly, moving away from a donor-‐recipient relationship. The CPA promotes equality of partners and this should be kept. Although this principle did not always work in practice, with the EU acting as the dominant partner due to the economic gap between the two parties and the donor-‐recipient character of their partnership, the principle should be maintained and reinforced in future ACP – EU relations. This is also in line with the need for full ownership of the partnership as well as the universal and inclusive nature of Agenda 2030.
i.e. designing implementation strategies, governance and accountability mechanisms, reviewing and negotiating budgets, drafting new or revising existing policies, legislative acts, instruments and programmes. The protection of human rights should be at the core of future ACP-‐EU relations. Indeed the respect for human rights, including fundamental social rights, democracy based on the rule of law and transparent and accountable governance, are qualified as an integral part of sustainable development in article 9 of the CPA, and should thus be integrated in the next ACP-‐EU framework. This includes amongst others the systematic and consistent protection and promotion of human rights’ at all levels of the political dialogue. Particular attention should thereby be given to marginalised groups, including children and youth, women, persons with disabilities, minorities. Future EU-‐ACP decision-‐making, negotiations and cooperation should be underpinned by solid and transparent mechanisms of accountability allowing citizens and their elected representatives to play their role in public monitoring and scrutiny. The role o...
