The Naval Service matches manpower demand with supply through a wide range of initiatives, such as targeted marketing, specific recruitment events, career extensions and retention incentives.<\/p>
A range of mechanisms are in place to attract recruits to technical specialisations for both the Officer and Rating corps. Incentives include a staged remunerative award to new entry Engineer Officers with relevant degrees and Commitment Bonuses for Ratings. In specific areas for serving personnel in the engineering specialism, a range of remunerative measures has also been introduced, in the form of Recruiting and Retention Pay and Financial Retention Incentives.<\/p>
The Royal Navy is currently undertaking a one year trial to recruit Suitably Qualified and Experienced Personnel from Industry into shortage categories. Known as the Direct Entry Technician scheme, individuals recruited in this way from the private sector will fill shortages in specialist areas. Additionally, the Navy has five affiliations with University Technical Colleges to support the development of skilled individuals that will support industry and help address the national shortage of engineers.<\/p>

This Government is helping to grow the UK\u2019s food and drink industry, which remains the country\u2019s biggest manufacturing sector contributing £103 billion a year to our economy and employing 1 in 8 people.<\/p>
Consumers both here and abroad want to buy great British food and drink. We are championing British produce overseas using the GREAT campaign, supporting companies to increase their exports and opening new markets for animal and animal products including poultry, pigmeat and dairy.<\/p>
We are encouraging UK producers to raise the profile of unique regional products and boost their sales under the EU Protected Food Name scheme. We are pressing for better country of origin labelling in Europe, particularly for dairy, so that our consumers can identify and buy quality British produce. The Plan for Public Procurement: Food and Catering Services, published in July 2014, guarantees that all central government departments purchase food to British standards of production.<\/p>

Under the Care Act 2014, local authorities must promote wellbeing when carrying out any of their care and support functions in respect of a person. This is sometimes referred to as \u201cthe wellbeing principle\u201d because it is a guiding principle that puts wellbeing at the heart of care and support. The definition of wellbeing includes physical and mental health and emotional wellbeing.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Assessments under the Care Act will identify the person\u2019s needs and how these impact on their wellbeing. Care Plans must detail the needs to be met and how the needs will be met, and will link back to the outcomes that the adult wishes to achieve in day-to-day life as identified in the assessment process and to the wellbeing principle in the Act.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has recognised the importance of doing more to consider the mental wellbeing of people in care homes and asked the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to prioritise this area for one of its first Quality Standards for adult social care which were published in December 2013. The links to these standards can be found here:<\/p>
