As the summer season draws to a close many businesses are facing the bleak decision of making redundancies in what will be the lead up to Christmas.

Angela Shaw, employment solicitor at Massers Solicitors in Nottingham, is advising workers of the need to understand their rights when an employer starts a redundancy procedure and also for employers to understand their obligations.

In my experience there tends to be a rise in redundancies at this time of year and businesses are continuing to look at options for cost cutting and rationalisation. The economic downturn has made redundancy more commonplace but many businesses are still unaware of their obligations during the redundancy process.

There must be a genuine reason for the redundancy and a thorough consultation for the purposes of involving all affected employees. The consultation should address why there is a

risk of a redundancy and what could be done to avoid it, for instance, whether there is a suitable alternative position that could be offered even if it is on a fixed trial basis. Where an employer decides that there is a case for redundancy, there will be a right of appeal against that decision. If the decision is upheld, there may be grounds to pursue a complaint of unfair dismissal at an Employment Tribunal in addition to any other relevant claim.

An employee who is made redundant could be eligible for a statutory redundancy payment or there may even be a provision for an enhanced payment. In some circumstances, an employee may be asked to enter into a Compromise Agreement. This is a confidential document whereby the employee will forfeit employment rights in return for an ex gratia payment. It will be necessary to seek independent legal advice about the document for which an employer will usually make a contribution towards the costs of that advice.

Grab a Kebab!Kebabs are easy to prepare, quick to cook and healthy. You can cook them over a bbq, under a grill or using a grill pan on the stove. Skewers can be wooden or metal. Wooden ones need a good soak in water first. Metal skewers can be re-used and also conduct heat, helping to cook meat through.

Halloumi and Veg Kebabs200g halloumi cheese1 or 2 courgettes2 red onionscherry tomatoes2 yellow peppersmarinade2 tbsp olive oiljuice of 1/2 lemon1 tsp dried oregano

Spicy Chicken Kebabs450g chicken breast2 red onionscherry tomatoesmarinade2 tbsp olive oil1 tbsp red wine vinegarjuice of half a limepinch chilli powder or flakes2 cloves garlic finely chopped

Fruit Kebabspineapplebananas x21 x ripe mangostrawberriesmarinade2 tbsp honey1 tbsp brown sugarjuice of half a lime

Seafood Kebabs190g uncooked king prawns200g scallops - (king are better but I could only get queen)1 fillet of white fish like monkfish6 rashers of streaky baconmarinade2 cloves garlic - finely choppedpinch of chilli powder2 tbsp olive oiljuice of half lemon Cut the fillet of white fish and add along with the rest of the fish to a bowl. Mix the marinade and add to the fish. Stir to coat and leave for at least an hour. Cut each rasher of bacon into 3 strips and use it to wrap around the scallops. Thread the fish onto skewers and bbq until all the fish is cooked through. Lovely with couscous.

Prepare the fruit into bite size chunks and thread onto skewers. If you are cooking on an outdoor bbq it might be an idea to lay the fruit on foil. I used a grill pan and melted some butter on it first. Place the kebabs on the heat and brush with the marinade. Turn and cook until the fruit starts to go brown and caramelise. This should only be a few minutes. Delicious served with ice cream, creme fraiche or chocolate sauce.

Cut chicken into chunks. Mix marinade and add to chicken. Cover and leave overnight. Thread chicken, red onion and tomatoes onto skewers and cook until chicken is cooked through. Make sure it is thoroughly cooked.

Cut the cheese, courgettes, red onion and yellow pepper into bite size chunks and place in a bowl with the tomatoes. Mix the marinade ingredients and add to the vegetables. Mix really well and leave for as long as possible. Over night is good. Thread the veg and cheese onto skewers and grill until browned & the veg are cooked.

Cat fosterers urgently needed!

Animal Accident Rescue Unit was created to provide a free ambulance service for pet owners without the means to travel to the vets themselves. Since then, it has become a badly needed lifeline, also taking in sick and injured animals & birds, arranging for their treatment and caring for them in foster homes until either their owner can be traced or new homes can be found. The Charity is staffed entirely by unpaid volunteers working from their own homes.

We’ve taken in so many cats over the last few months that we desperately need new

fosterers who can provide a temporary home for one of our rescued cats. If you

think you can help us, please ring our Recruitment Officer on 0115 9563799.

Volunteer Drivers Needed!

Local Nottingham-based charity Animal Accident Rescue Unit are looking for volunteer drivers with their own car who have a couple of hours to spare during the daytime. We really need your help to transport rescued animals to and from vets and foster homes. If you’d like to learn more, please ring our Recruitment Officer on 0115 9563799.

Other volunteering roles are also available.

For any other enquiries, please call our Lifeline Tel. No: 0115 9321555 or

friend, observers are welcome. Ring Martin on 07855270803 or e-mail: [email protected] to register your interest or just turn up on the night. See the website www.grandcentralchorus.com if in any doubt.

After the overwhelming display of community spirit shown as the Olympic Torch passed through Nottinghamshire, I am convinced more than ever that there are people out there who care about their neighbourhoods and want to give something back to their community.

So why not join Nottinghamshire Police as a Special Constable?

Specials not only play a signifi cant part in assisting with the policing, they also help us resource public events such as fairs and carnivals.

There are nearly 400 Specials currently working across the force. Not only did they play a signifi cant part in assisting with the policing of the disorder in August last year, they also work in neighbourhood policing teams and help police public events.

As a Special Constable you will work with a diverse range of people, make new friends, learn valuable new skills, which are transferable to the workplace, and challenge yourself with new experiences.

You will learn fi rst hand about policing in Nottinghamshire and have the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping to police the local community - hopefully your community.

We welcome applications from people who have lived in the UK for a minimum of three years and we are

actively recruiting people aged 18 to 58 – although, we are particularly interested to hear from anyone who is between 30 and 50 years of age or from ‘Black and Minority Ethnic’ backgrounds to ensure we represent the diverse communities we serve.

Successful applicants receive training before starting on the job and are asked to work a minimum of 16 hours per month.

We are holding Specials Pre-recruitment Awareness events throughout the year at various locations where you will be able to discover in detail what the role involves

During the events, attendees will hear from the Specials recruitment and training team about the expectations Nottinghamshire Police have of their Specials and what those who join us can expect from the role. Potential applicants will also learn about the recruitment and selection process, training programme and the vetting process. A number of serving Specials will also be there to chat about their experiences in the role.

To fi nd out more, please call us on 101, extension 800 2429 or visit the force website at www.nottinghamshire.police.uk and visit the recruitment section and follow the ‘Specials’ link.

Local, friendly, reliable and professional service

What criteria do you take into account when making your grocery purchases? The most obvious factors include personal taste, cost, convenience, availability, quality, appearance, and nowadays also ethical integrity. In recent years there has been a growing awareness of the complexity of buying ethically: terms such as fairtrade, organic, local, and co-operative have become common currency in the debates around what we should or shouldn’t buy.

So, how do we combine our admirable motives with our desire for non- seasonal products or exotic goods? Is it acceptable to buy greenhouse strawberries in December, and how much sense does it make to buy organic apples which have been imported from South America? Ideally, we would buy mainly local organic produce the whole year round; realistically we have to compromise if we want variety in our diet.

We may not wish to give up all of our luxuries in terms of choice and availability, but perhaps we can take into account the ecological factors more often and at least modify our purchasing behaviour.

When buying products in a supermarket, consider how seasonal they are and try to choose the bulk of your vegetables in season, with a few out of season treats to brighten up the long winter spell. Always check the origin of the product and if you decide to buy imports, try to select those with the smaller carbon footprint – apples from Spain rather than from across the Atlantic for example.

Test out veg box schemes; You will find that the smaller local schemes are often cheaper than supermarket organic produce and offer customised boxes at no extra charge. Be aware that often larger veg box schemes act as couriers for large scale producers around the country and may not promote local businesses or farmers.

Above all, decide for yourself a realistic strategy which you will sustain, perhaps doing a main weekly shop in the supermarket but then any midweek top ups at local shops, favouring those who support local producers and provide information about the origin of their goods. Use a veg box scheme for at least part of your weekly vegetable requirements. That way you will save petrol, money, your community and the environment.

Vote with your feet, your wallet and your voice – be open to try unfamiliar foods if they are local and seasonal; give your local suppliers feedback on what you try; tell them what you want and buy it when it is there!

education & coursesa

Choosing the right secondary education for your child is one of the most important decisions you can make in

supporting their development into young adulthood.

If you would like your child to:

Be taught by well qualified, enthusiastic and committed staff

Be taught clear Christian morals and values in a caring community

Be part of a school deemed to be good with outstanding features by OFSTED in September 2010

Attend a school with a history of good examination results

Experience a wide range of extra curricular activities

Be supported to be the best that they can be at whatever they try

Then Christ the King Catholic School is the place for you! We are situated near Arnold town centre and are easily accessible by local bus services.

Christ the King is a school for the whole community. We welcome applications for places from parents of children

who have not attended our partner primaries or who are not Catholic but whose parents wish them to be educated

in the caring Christian Community. Indeed, the governing body offer places to such students annually and we

celebrate this diversity.

THURSDAY 20th SEPTEMBER 2012— 7.OOPM

If you are unable to attend the evening, please

contact us. There are a limited number of places

for a tour of the school during the mornings of

24th, 25th, 26th, 27th and 28th September 2012.

If you are still unable to attend, but would like to

receive a brochure, please contact the school.

Hollygirt School is pleased to announce that it is welcoming applications for boys aged 3-7 to start from September onwards. It is not the first time that the school has taught boys; there were little boys here during the 1980s. For parents with both boys and girls, there are very few independent co-educational schools with a similar family-feel to Hollygirt and we are aware that for parents of young children, having to do multiple school drop-offs is challenging. Taking boys at a young age will not detract away from Hollygirt’s ethos and they are no plans to extend the age range for boys.

Hollygirt helps children develop their individual strengths and abilities, whilst ensuring they are safe, secure and happy.

All junior children spend a day with us to find

out if they will be happy in our environment. We take children of all abilities and each is assessed before they join, so that their educational needs can be met, wherever they are in terms of their ability. They all make excellent progress and we are proud of their achievements at whatever level. In our small school everyone knows each other and teachers have the time to get the best from each child.

Your child can join Hollygirt at any age, from 3 up to the start of Year 10, subject to a place being available. Entry can be at any time, not just the start of a school year or term. Most new pupils join without knowing other children, but soon make friends in the warm and homely atmosphere. Our quality of care was rated as outstanding in the school’s last inspection.
