Fit for Work Award
Cornwall County Council awarded for diversity within the workplace.
Cornwall County Council have been awarded the Fit for Work Award at a ceremony held in Truro, for its dedicated help to its disabled employees. Simon Weston was at the awards ceremony to congratulate the winners but also to remind people that those with disabilities need jobs for a normal life and although job prospects are picking up there is still a long way to go for equality within the workplace.
This is the second such award for Cornwall County Council; the authority has 1500 employees and 370 of them are disabled. Cornwall Council provide PPE and specialist equipment to those who need it, to help undertake their roles. They are looking into how they develop their polices for their disabled staff and how they can amend their training programmes so disabled people can be promoted within organisations.

Working Life and Homelessness
Life and economics in the South West.
Here we have some harder hitting titles from the SWFTA collection at The Box, revealing what it's like to live in the South West during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Several stories explore issues around work life / home life balance, while we also see people struggling with redundancy, mental health issues, rural homelessness, tax and recession.
But it's not all doom and gloom: there are also uplifting news stories of entrepreneurial spirit, people discussing the economic growth of the South-West, a fit-for-work awards ceremony and a dentist's office opening its doors in order to debunk myths that all dentists are scary.
