Due to the limited availability of school places, not everyone is successful in securing their child a place at their preferred school. When this happens, parents/carers have the right to appeal against the authority’s decision. School appeals are heard by an independent panel consisting of three individuals. As a panel member, you will read the case papers in advance of the hearing, actively participate in the appeal hearing and decide whether to uphold or dismiss the appeal. To ensure panels are inclusive, we are looking for people from all backgrounds with different experiences and skills. No qualifications or previous experience is needed as you will receive training and you will be supported by the School Appeals Clerks.

Citizens Advice are looking for dedicated volunteer home library drivers to help us deliver library books to people across Sandwell who are unable to access libraries due to disability, illness, frailty, or full-time caregiving responsibilities. The role involves: At the beginning of the shift, pick up library materials from a designated library and drive these resources to a list of clients’ homes, ensuring the safe and timely transport of these resources. Follow a 4-6 weekly rota to drop off and pick up these resources (so the routes and clients are familiar to you). When you drop off the resources, if vulnerable clients look like they need support (we train you to identify this) you will inform our Coordinator who will undertake an assessment.
