Introduction to the Rural Needs Act
Rural Community Network
This is a free event
Building Communities Resource Centre in partnership with Rural Community Network are delivering a free information session on the Rural Needs Act NI 2016. The Act introduces the duty on named public authorities to ”have due regard to rural needs when developing, adopting, implementing or revising policies, strategies and plans, and designing and delivering public services”. In effect this means that government departments, local councils and other named public authorities should be “rural-proofing” their policy and service delivery.
The session will look at:
- The Legislative Basis of the Rural Needs Act
- The Definition of Rural
- What are the key elements public authorities should include in a Rural Issues Statement
- Mitigating the Impact
- Case studies of Rural proofing by public authorities
- Scrutinising and challenging rural proofing
- What are the opportunities and limitations of the process.
The session will last between 2 -3 hours long and will be a mixture of Powerpoint delivery, interactive exercises and small group discussion.
This is a free information session aimed at community and voluntary groups but registration is compulsory. To register or for further information contact Teresa on 028 8676 6670 or email [email protected]

National Energy Action (NEA) NIOnline / VirtualSeminarTraining/AdviceWorkshopThe UK government set out a target, enshrined in the Climate Change Act (2008), to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across the whole of the UK by 2050. Decarbonising homes is central to achieving that target and there is an urgent need to address the carbon emissions produced in heating and powering domestic properties. While the electricity powering lighting and appliances is decarbonising fast, the majority of homes still rely on burning fossil fuels for heating, hot water and cooking. This course will provide an introduction to the role domestic scale renewable technologies can play in reducing carbon emissions. It will provide a non-technical explanation of how the technologies work, the factors to consider when installing these technologies, costings, potential carbon savings and their advantages and drawbacks.- - -
