Green light for Glasgow’s 270km active travel network

Plans to build a City Network of active travel infrastructure for all parts of Glasgow have been approved by the council’s City Administration Committee.

Intended to support a crucial shift to walking, wheeling and cycling as part of the wider effort to reduce the city’s carbon footprint and improve air quality, the plans will add 270km of high-quality cycleways and improved footways along main roads in Glasgow.

The City Network is based upon a vision that active travel becomes the first choice for everyday journeys and will be designed to ensure easy access to safe, segregated routes from homes, schools, key amenities and cultural destinations throughout the city.   It is planned that schools will be within 400m of the main active travel routes while no home is more than 800m from segregated cycling infrastructure.

Is Offsite a barrier or an opportunity for Offsite construction?

We’re looking for organisations with experience understanding and/or measuring Social Value outcomes for Offsite projects to help form a briefing paper on the this question. The project will be a main focus for FY22/23 and is being led by the School, Akerlof, the University of Salford and other partners.

We will be hosting a scoping workshop during the Offsite Leadership Group meeting, on 9th March, 10-12 to kick the project off. We’re opening this out to all Partners and interested organisations, so f you’re not a member of the Offsite Group but have experience to contribute, please get in touch and we will send you more info.

This project will produce a 10-page practical guide to…

  • Discuss challenges and opportunities for key Social Value (SV) themes that arise through Offsite construction
  • Help organisations understand the SV implications of their operations and supply chain
  • Provide case studies to illustrate how to integrate SV and overcome challenges
  • Introduce some of the measurement tools available
  • Include multiple sectors beyond housing and into infrastructure, hospitals and schools, and so on

We’ll be using the scoping workshop to cement the aims and key questions to answer in the report, as well as identify key projects in this space to follow up for case studies.

For some inspiration check out this article on a recent modular project in Wales providing energy efficient and affordable homes.

Wellbeing Special Interest Group

The School’s Wellbeing Special Interest Group (SIG) reconvened in April 2021 to set some new objectives for this cross-sector group, which includes representatives from FM, Homes, Construction and Infrastructure Partners.  Led by Andrew Day, Sustainability Director at Telford Homes, the Partners defined two desired outputs and set up corresponding working groups to explore:

A Wellbeing survey tool, that could be rolled out internally by organisations to take a measure of their employees’ wellbeing. This workstream is now focusing on developing an automated Wellbeing Workplace Questionnaire, in collaboration with Eileen Donnelly and the What Works Centre for Wellbeing. This tool will be an industry first, and will gather anonymised data to allow threshold-generation. It will be delivered later in 2022 and be hosted on the School platform.

Creating a Wellbeing Sustainability Short to act as a introduction to the topic. This short animated video looks at Wellbeing through the elements of Physical, Mental and Financial, and how to create balance between all three, and will be published to the School library in March 2022.

Additionally, following a discussion among Partners, the Wellbeing SIG has recently run 2 specific webinars on Peer Support Networks – one on how to set one up (view recording here) and one on how to optimise the networks you may already have implemented (view recording here). The SIG continues to feed into the School’s programme of Wellbeing training, with upcoming sessions including: Work-Life Balance (register here) and At the Interview (register here).

If you are a School Partner and would like to be a part of the Wellbeing SIG, please get in touch with [email protected]

This National Apprenticeship Week we’ve interviewed Aya – our Business Administration Apprentice – on why she decided to pursue an apprenticeship and how it’s helped develop her career so far!

Tell us your story – why did you decide to embark on a Business Administration apprenticeship?

I’ve previously worked in customer service, as well as in sales and I was looking for a career change, but I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do! I knew I wanted an office-based job, not entirely sure which role I should apply for and I wasn’t sure what I’d particularly be good at.

One challenging aspect of having a career change was needing experience, which most office-based jobs are looking for. I knew I wanted to work in sustainability and I managed to secure an apprenticeship with Action Sustainability, working across the Supply Chain Sustainability School and Sustainability Tool.

What does a typical day look like for you?

A typical day for me is checking and responding to emails, answering client calls, and helping with admin tasks such as updating website information, booking train and/or hotel tickets, and many more. The collaborative nature of this role is something I really enjoy as I get to work on and support with multiple projects across the School and Tool and work with lots of different people.

What do you think is the advantage of doing an apprenticeship?

A big advantage is that I was able to get my foot in the door and start a career in an industry which I have no experience in but I was eager to work in and advance my career.

Another benefit is the great experience I get from working alongside talented people, soaking in the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in my role.

What would your advice be to people applying to do an apprenticeship?

I would say there are three main qualities which employers are looking for and are crucial to getting and succeeding in an apprenticeship:

Adaptability – The world is ever-changing, being able to adapt and adjust to different situations is a really important ingredient in excelling within any role.

Technical skills – As a lot of companies have moved online because of the pandemic, technical skills are becoming even more popular and necessary such as proficiency in Word, PowerPoint, Excel. It’s really useful to polish skills in analysing data as this can transform numbers into useful visuals and it’s a better way to present information.

Curiosity and willingness to learn – There are a million skills out there you can learn and it’s a matter of if you are willing to improve and explore. You never know if you’re going to be good at something unless you try!

Also, I started my apprenticeship during lockdown, which shifted a lot of businesses to online platforms and remote working. This enables people to work from home, which does come with perks, but there are also downsides. In terms of wellbeing, studies have shown that remote workers experience loneliness and mental health problems because the social aspect of work is cut out. It’s really important to build good relationships at work as this helps with motivation and creates a support network.

Lastly, don’t be afraid to ask questions! Especially if you don’t understand something, it is important to clarify and make sure you’re on the same page.

What do you think is the best thing about working for the Action Sustainability?

Action Sustainability was recently awarded with Best Companies’ “One to Watch Status”, which I strongly agree with! I’m really proud to be part of a company where they invest heavily in employee wellbeing.

Action Sustainability make sure that we experience a positive working environment, the team is very supportive, and people are always willing to lend a helping hand. It’s really motivating to know that I am part of a company that creates a significant impact on sustainability, especially in the construction industry which currently contributes around 40% of the UK’s carbon emissions.

Aya Macahis is our Business Administration Apprentice, working across Action Sustainability, Sustainability Tool, and Supply Chain Sustainability School since April 2021.

We are pleased to announce that Careys has become the latest Partner of the Supply Chain Sustainability School

Members since 2012, Careys has taken the next step in their sustainability journey and has joined the School as a Partner and to collaborate with their colleagues and drive sustainability across the built environment supply chain.

The School is delighted to welcome Careys on board and look forward to working with them.

Our Partner organisations are committed to building sustainability skills and knowledge across the industry. This will help us to safeguard the future of the UK’s built environment and ensure that it is fairer, greener, and more robust.
