SUMMARY:From Tragedy to Legislative Changes
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mrs Figen Murray\n\n\n\n\n\nMartyn’s Law\n\n\n\n\n\nFigen Murray\, mother of Manchester Arena bombing victim Martyn Hett\, is working with Survivors Against Terror and former Chief Superintendent Nick Aldworth to push for Martyn’s Law to become legislation. The proposed law would require venues to provide staff with counter-terrorism training\, carry out risk assessments\, mitigate identified risks\, and have a counter-terrorism action plan. Local authorities would also need to be prepared for an attack. \nFigen was shocked to find that there are legal requirements for toilets and rules about the temperature of food served\, but nothing about keeping people safe from terrorist attacks. While Martyn’s Law cannot stop all attacks\, it aims to significantly reduce opportunities for\nterrorists to target areas where people gather. The law does not seek to restrict people’s free movement but rather ensure that venues do everything possible to keep customers safe. \nTo read Figen’s full proposal for Martyn’s Law\, click here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the webinar\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Centre for Islamic Finance and the Centre for Contemporary Coronial Law at the University of Bolton in Association with the Hume Institute for Postgraduate Studies\, Lausanne\, are delighted to host a lecture entitled “From Tragedy to Legislative Changes” presented by Mrs Figen Murray. \nFigen gives an emotional account of the personal impact the murder of her son had after he was killed alongside 21 others during the Manchester Arena Terrorist Attack. Figen also talks about discovering a gap in security  legislation and her subsequent campaign that initially started online and has now officially been given the green light to proceed with a draft legislation being presented in Spring this year. She is asking the government to make security at venues mandatory\, something that is to date still a recommendation. \nIn addition\, Figen visits schools and educates young people on the dangers of online radicalisation\, how to recognise online terrorist recruiters\, how to recognise signs of radicalisation and how to get support and help.

SUMMARY:War in Ukraine from a European Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lieutenant-colonel (FR-A) (Retired) Vincent Arbaretier \n\n\nAbout the webinar\n\n\n\n\n\nOn 24th February 2022 Russia launched a “special military operation” against Ukraine\, with reports estimating tens of thousands of deaths on both sides\, and millions being forced to flee into neighbouring countries to seek safety and security. One year on\, Lieutenant-colonel (FR-A) (Retired) Vincent Arbaretier will reflect on the lessons Europe has learnt from the operation. \n\nThree main topics will be explored:\n● Firstly\, on both political and strategic levels\, namely the consequences on the European Defence Agency; \n● Secondly\, on an operational level\, namely on the Logistical\, Intelligence\, Command and Control organisations; \n● And last but not least\, the tactical issues and constraints as lessons learned from a high intensity warfare.

SUMMARY:Mediation and Arbitration: The Case Study of Saudi Arabia
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Hamed Merah\nAbout the webinar\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Centre for Islamic Finance at the University of Bolton would like to invite you to the webinar on Mediation and Arbitration: The Case Study of Saudi Arabia.\nIn the past\, merchants travelling across different countries for trade relied on various courts to access justice and fairness regarding disputes. Disputes can be resolved through the courts\, but increasingly other means are being used\, including arbitration and mediation.\nArbitration differs from a trial in that the parties are not required to follow the rules of evidence\, and in some cases\, the arbitrator does not have to apply the governing law. On the other hand\, mediation is a private and voluntary process where a neutral third party – the mediator – assists the parties through discussion to resolve their differences. The successful mediator needs to be open-minded\, and in an increasingly global world\, culturally aware and sensitive.\nDr Hamed Merah will present this webinar in which he will explain how mediation and arbitration are being used to create a safe environment for domestic and foreign investments using the case\nstudy of Saudi Arabia.

SUMMARY:Achieving Excellence and Equity in Post Covid Education
DESCRIPTION:LIVE WEBINAR\nTony Mackay AM Prof Pasi Sahlberg Caitlin Senior Prof David Hopkins In most countries of the world\, the Corvid-19 pandemic has almost instantaneously changed life for just about everyone: economic discipline has been abandoned\, businesses have closed\, sta have been furloughed\, or asked to work from home and so on. Through lockdown\, governments have imposed restrictions on how long citizens can leave their home and in terms of education Schools and Colleges and Universities have been closed. Traditional face to face teaching has been replaced with home schooling and digital learning.\nThe question for educational leaders and policy makers is how to respond to such a cataclysmic event in a\nmorally purposeful\, authentic and principled way?\nHere\, we stand full square with McKinsey when they argue that “issues regarding equity – that is\, ensuring that\nthe needs of the most vulnerable are met – should be front and centre\, both during the closure and after students return to school.” Excellence and Equity is the central theme of Hume’s educational programmes and it is these issues that are debated by this internationally recognised panel during the Webinar.\nAbout the webinar \nProf Pasi Sahlberg\nA Finnish educator who has worked as a teacher and policymaker in Finland and advised national\neducation reforms around the world. He is currently an education advisor to the First Minister of Scotland\nand works as a Professor of Education Policy at UNSW\, Sydney.\nCaitlin Senior\nAn education researcher with a focus on exploring equity and excellence at the system level. She is\ncurrently a research student at the University of New South Wales\, Sydney\, Australia.\nProf David Hopkins\nChair of Educational leadership at the University of Bolton. He has worked at the intersection of policy\,\nresearch and practice for over forty years. Among a wide range of educational roles\, he was Chief Adviser\nto three UK Secretary of States on School Standards.\nAnthony Mackay AM\nCEO & Co Chair of the National Center on Education & the Economy\, Washington DC . He is an Expert\nAdvisor to the OECD\, Senior Fellow IBE UNESCO\, & Deputy Chancellor\, Swinburne University\, Melbourne\nAustralia. \nAbout the contributors\nHume Institute Lausanne\, through its commitment to debating current social\, political and\neducational issues is delighted to invite you to a webinar on:\nAchieving Excellence and Equity\nin Post Covid Education\nThursday 10th February 2022 from 10am GMT\, 5am EST\, 8:30pm ACST\nand 9pm AEST

SUMMARY:Previous Webinar: “Ageing with Dignity” on Monday 21st June 2021 @ 6 – 7:30 pm (BST)
DESCRIPTION:Hume Institute for Postgraduate Studies\, Lausanne\nand the School of Medicine\, University of Bolton\,\nare delighted to invite you to a webinar entitled:\n“Ageing with Dignity” \nThe world population is ageing because of a falling birth rate and an improved life\nexpectancy: knowing this has not helped governments develop sustainable health and care\npolicies. The underlying causes and impacts of population ageing remain poorly understood.\nPlanning\, using population age structure alone\, does not account for uneven geographical\ndistribution of older people\, their health characteristics\, functional needs or lived experiences.\nDespite society becoming more successful at protecting characteristics\, such as gender\,\nrace\, ability\, relationships\, religion and beliefs\, we continue to struggle with ageing; the most\nfundamental characteristic of being human. This has the potential to impact adversely\, not\njust on personal health and wellbeing\, but more widely on the social\, political and economic\nsuccess of society.\nOur experiences and choices earlier in life can significantly affect how we experience later\nlife. Changing policies to optimise life-opportunities require us to reshape deficit-focused\nageing narratives\, towards those focused on valuing dignity as we age. Social exclusion\,\npoor mental health and reduced prospects of employment are all outcomes we can influence\nfor the better. Extended quality contact between generations has been shown to positively\ninfluence the attitudes of younger people towards older citizens. The extent to which we value\nand respect each other is a fundamental indicator of a successful society. \n  \nShifting the narrative\nTo date\, we have failed\, collectively\, to realise the value of ageing\, much less incorporating\nthis value into governmental policies to benefit the wider population. Government and its\nagencies use policy levers to influence individuals and groups to behave differently. By\ncareful positioning of key tipping points\, people and behaviours can be shifted with relative\nease. The trick is positioning the right lever for greatest benefit\, without expending too much\neffort or causing harm.\nThe health and social care infrastructure is currently poorly configured and inadequately\nresourced to meet the demands of whole population ageing\, let alone realise the value\nsociety should place on maintaining dignity as we age. It is now essential to explore the\ndevelopment of new policy levers\, focused on realising the value of maintained respect and\ndignity for all citizens as they age\, as a means of promoting a thriving society \n  \n  \nAbout the Speakers:\nProfessor Paul Kingston is Professor of Ageing and Mental Health & Co-Director:\nWestminster Centre for Research on Ageing\, Mental Health and Veterans\, University\nof Chester. Former Chair of NHS England’s National Safeguarding Adult Network and\nits Steering Group. He is Independent Chair for Adult Safeguarding in Wigan and\nIndependent Safeguarding Chair for Dudley Safeguarding People Partnership.\nProfessor Martin Vernon qualified as a doctor in 1988 in Manchester. He trained as a\nGeriatrician and General Internal Physician in the North West of England and London before\nbecoming an NHS Consultant in Manchester in 1999 where he practices medicine. He has a\nMA in Medical Ethics and Law from King’s College London\, teaches these subjects at Salford\nUniversity and was appointed Visiting Professor at the University of Chester in 2016.\nPaul McGarry is Head of the Greater Manchester Ageing Hub and is an Honorary Research\nFellow at the University of Manchester. Paul has led multi-agency urban ageing partnerships\nsince 2003 and has published and lectured on ageing internationally. He has an MA in social\ngerontology and has been a member of the World Health Organisation’s Global Network of\nAgeing Friendly Cities Advisory Group\, and the Scientific Steering Board for the joint\nAge-friendly Environments in Europe project.\nAbout the Moderator:\nProfessor John Lumley is the Founding Dean for the School of Medicine\, University of Bolton.\nHe was previously surgeon at Barts\, National Hospital Queens Square and Great Ormond\nStreet Hospital\, London; Council Member Royal College of Surgeons; World President of the\nInternational College of Surgeons; Author/Editor of over 70 textbooks\, including Ageing\, don’t\npanic. \nAbout School of Medicine\, University of Bolton\nThe School of Medicine at Bolton is a new innovation in a young vibrant University.
