This collection contains recorded conversations with prominent construction employers in Wales. The talks include introductions to the construction sector and the various methods used to develop new structures and protect old buildings. This collection aims to support schools and colleges that will teach new GCSEs and Foundation qualifications in construction, which will be available from September 2022. The webinars are about 20 minutes long and have been scripted to cover the criteria as outline in the two new Construction qualifications. Technical knowledge of the field is shared and the construction industry comes to life in the classroom or college with the inclusion of real life projects that are underway or have been recently completed. These webinars were recorded in collaboration with CITB Cymru.

This resource is a collection of resources to support educators who wish to introduce more Welsh in the delivery of the Level 2 Health and Social Care: Core course. The collection has been created to support educators in planning and setting classroom work activities or evidence based on learners' Welsh language skills. The collection includes: • a guide that explains how to use the resource. • 'Mapping the Opportunities to introduce the Welsh language' document for each core unit. • a series of tasks that meet the requirements of specific assessment criteria of the course. They demonstrate how it is possible for all learners to complete the same task, whilst developing their Welsh language skills at individual and appropriate levels. • bilingual posters of the key terms for each unit. • a resource that provides ideas for learners to use the Welsh language on work placements. The individual documents can be accessed below or you can download a zip file containing all of the files here. 

This study considers how the Roman Catholic Church and the broader Catholic community interacts with the European Union (EU). It outlines the organisational form of the most active Catholic bodies, and sets out how they engage with EU policy processes. The empirical analysis draws on original interviews carried out with practitioners. It demonstrates that the relationship between the Catholic community and the EU operates on three levels – on the diplomatic level, on a partly formalised institutional level and on an informal level – and that an appreciation of all three levels is necessary in order to understand how the Catholic community operates in Brussels. Three sets of consequences are presented and these develop understanding of the role of religion in contemporary governance.
