Help stop Clause 152 - your personal info shared across the public sector

Submitted by phil-uk on Tue, 03/03/2009 - 14:24

This post is off topic for Phil-UK but still relevant to those of us based in the UK.

Earlier this year, the UK's justice secretary, Jack Straw, unveiled the Coroners and justice bill 2009. It's purpose is apparently to create 'more effective, transparent and responsive justice and coroner services'. However, one part in particular sent civil liberties advocates' alarm bells ringing: Clause 152.

Channel 4 documentary looking for nurses to share their experiences

Submitted by phil-uk on Fri, 20/02/2009 - 00:31

Des Daniels from Lion TV asked us to pass on this message:

We are currently producing a programme for Channel 4 about hospital nursing and midwifery. We would like to hear about experiences from both nurses and patients. We are interested to find out about specific situations or events during your stay or work in hospital with the view of potentially doing an interview on camera. For example as a patient did the nurses make you feel safe and looked after or did something go wrong. If you are a nurse or midwife how do you find the day to day working life? What works well and what could be improved?

Whatever you tell us, we'll treat the information confidentially and anonymously where necessary. Our aim is to make an fair and balanced programme about experiences in NHS hospitals today.

If you have a story to tell or if you would like to know more please feel free to get in touch by emailing me at des.daniels@liontv.co.uk or you can call us on 0208 846 2175.

Petition against pesticide spraying in the Southern Philippines

Submitted by phil-uk on Sat, 02/08/2008 - 09:22

Nina at ForwardPilipinas.org sent this message about the effects of pesticide spraying in the Southern Philippines. We can support the ban by signing the online petition at www.dirtybananas.org.

Communities (around 40,000 people) living within banana plantations in Davao, Mindanao, Southern Philippines have been subjected to regular aerial spraying of pesticides for years, suffering from acute effects such as skin rashes, nausea and stomach cramps. In February, after an imaginative well-coordinated campaign, the City Government of Davao passed an ordinance to ban aerial spraying of pesticides.

Hoax email warning and site messages

Submitted by phil-uk on Thu, 29/05/2008 - 06:02

How should this site evolve?

Thanks to all those who have signed up to Phil-UK network directory. The idea is to create a space where people can publicise their group, company, or event. At the same time, I don't want this site being a source of junk mail.

There's obviously a fine line between filtering what people want to say and preventing unwanted messages. Since this is a community site, I'll leave it up to you to decide. Drop me a note with your opinion about the kind of content that should appear, and how it should reach you. For now, the group messaging feature is disabled but you can still add information to your own profile page.

You'll see the editing process within a small production company and get the chance to explore other departments. This should be great for your CV if you'd like to break into the industry.

Get in touch ASAP if you're interested and I'll send you more information.

Watch 'Between Two Cultures' online

Submitted by phil-uk on Sat, 17/05/2008 - 16:16

The BBC's 'Meet the Immigrants' episode featuring Filipino domestic workers seemed to generate lots if interest. I thought it would be a good time to follow it up buy uploading 'Between Two Cultures', a short video documentary filmed by two members of Phil-UK back in 2000.

It's a 12 minute video documentary about two Filipinas: a student who grew up in the UK, and a nanny working to support her family in the Philippines.

For more information, and to watch the video, head to the Between Two Cultures page.
