Redbridge local council is located in northeast London and focuses on areas like Fairlop, Fullwell, and Barkingside. The purpose of the student's project is to create a documentary highlighting a social issue in the Redbridge community in order to bring people together and raise awareness of problems. The student chose to focus on the topic of bullying in schools for the documentary. Redbridge has introduced initiatives to improve life in the community, such as recycling bins, parks, libraries, and a farmers market. The goal of the project is to both inspire community cohesion and offer solutions to issues.

Client​ ​information:
The​ ​client​ ​that​ ​I​ ​will​ ​be​ ​researching​ ​about​ ​is​ ​Redbridge​ ​local​ ​council.​ ​Redbridge​ ​local
council​ ​is​ ​located​ ​in​ ​North​ ​East​ ​london.​ ​This​ ​council​ ​focuses​ ​on​ ​areas​ ​such​ ​as,
Fairlop,​ ​Fullwell,​ ​Barkingside,​ ​Chigwell​ ​and
many​ ​more.
London​ ​borough​ ​of​ ​Redbridge​ ​have​ ​created
an​ ​informal​ ​agreement​ ​which​ ​means​ ​that
people​ ​are​ ​not​ ​under​ ​any​ ​control​ ​and
therefore​ ​have​ ​the​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​be​ ​creative
and​ ​decide​ ​what​ ​project​ ​they​ ​would​ ​like​ ​to
develop​ ​for​ ​the​ ​issues​ ​raised​ ​within​ ​the
community​ ​to​ ​bring​ ​community​ ​cohesion.
However,​ ​Redbridge​ ​has​ ​in​ ​fact​ ​created
some​ ​solutions​ ​that​ ​have​ ​helped​ ​the​ ​lives​ ​of
people​ ​within​ ​the​ ​area​ ​to​ ​have​ ​a​ ​better​ ​life.
For​ ​example,​ ​they​ ​have​ ​introduced,​ ​places​ ​of
interest​ ​such​ ​as​ ​parks​ ​and​ ​libraries​ ​so​ ​people
have​ ​a​ ​place​ ​to​ ​go​ ​in​ ​their​ ​free​ ​time​ ​or​ ​use
resource​ ​that​ ​may​ ​not​ ​be​ ​available​ ​to​ ​them​ ​in
their​ ​house,​ ​sport​ ​and​ ​leisure​ ​facilities​ ​such
as​ ​a​ ​swimming​ ​pool,​ ​Redbridge​ ​sports​ ​centre,​ ​transport​ ​such​ ​as​ ​local​ ​buses,​ ​london
underground,​ ​walking​ ​and​ ​cycling,​ ​and​ ​education.​ ​They​ ​have​ ​also​ ​created​ ​a​ ​website
where​ ​people​ ​can​ ​go​ ​online​ ​to​ ​find​ ​more​ ​information​ ​about​ ​a​ ​specific​ ​project
https://www.redbridge.gov.uk/​.​ ​Redbridge​ ​council​ ​has​ ​many​ ​leaders​ ​who​ ​discuss
what​ ​actions​ ​they​ ​perform​ ​to​ ​make​ ​sure​ ​that​ ​everyone​ ​in​ ​the​ ​community​ ​is​ ​happy
and​ ​safe.​ ​Andy​ ​Donald,​ ​who​ ​became​ ​chief​ ​executive​ ​in​ ​November​ ​2015,​ ​creates
projects​ ​and​ ​decides​ ​with​ ​his​ ​team​ ​member​ ​if​ ​they​ ​are​ ​acceptable​ ​for​ ​the​ ​locals
within​ ​the​ ​community​ ​of​ ​Redbridge.
Redbridge​ ​has​ ​also​ ​introduced
newspapers​ ​so​ ​different​ ​areas​ ​in
Redbridge​ ​are​ ​able​ ​to​ ​show​ ​people
news​ ​that​ ​may​ ​have​ ​happened​ ​in​ ​the
community​ ​such​ ​as​ ​Ilford​ ​Recorder.
The​ ​newspaper​ ​has​ ​also​ ​an​ ​online​ ​version
so​ ​people​ ​can​ ​see​ ​the​ ​news​ ​on​ ​their
devices​ ​if​ ​they​ ​cannot​ ​get​ ​a​ ​hold​ ​of​ ​a​ ​hard

copy.​ ​People​ ​are​ ​able​ ​to​ ​express​ ​their​ ​opinions​ ​that​ ​they​ ​may​ ​feel​ ​in​ ​the​ ​community​ ​and​ ​this
is​ ​useful​ ​as​ ​they​ ​can​ ​express​ ​what​ ​they​ ​are​ ​feeling.​ ​​ ​​http://www.ilfordrecorder.co.uk/home
One​ ​area​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Redbridge​ ​borough,​ ​Ilford,​ ​has
opened​ ​a​ ​market​ ​where​ ​people​ ​can​ ​come​ ​and​ ​buy
and​ ​try​ ​new​ ​products​ ​which​ ​will​ ​help​ ​to​ ​bring​ ​people
together​ ​and​ ​talk​ ​about​ ​different​ ​items.​ ​People​ ​living
in​ ​the​ ​oc,mnty​ ​are​ ​able​ ​to​ ​try​ ​new​ ​food​ ​from​ ​different
countries​ ​that​ ​people​ ​may​ ​be​ ​from​ ​and​ ​discuss​ ​with
each​ ​other​ ​and​ ​make​ ​conversation​ ​because​ ​the
market​ ​is​ ​created​ ​to​ ​bring​ ​people​ ​together.

Structure​ ​of​ ​brief:
The​ ​structure​ ​of​ ​the​ ​brief​ ​will​ ​be​ ​informal​ ​because​ ​it​ ​is​ ​not​ ​like​ ​it's​ ​a​ ​job​ ​but​ ​it​ ​is​ ​a
task,​ ​also,​ ​because​ ​the​ ​age​ ​of​ ​the​ ​group​ ​will​ ​be​ ​14​ ​-​ ​19​ ​year​ ​olds.​ ​This​ ​project
focuses​ ​on​ ​a​ ​social​ ​issue​ ​within​ ​the​ ​Redbridge​ ​council​ ​and​ ​so​ ​we​ ​will​ ​be​ ​researching
for​ ​a​ ​documentary​ ​aimed​ ​at​ ​the​ ​local​ ​council​ ​and​ ​its​ ​community.​ ​The​ ​council​ ​cannot
recruit​ ​me​ ​to​ ​work​ ​as​ ​this​ ​is​ ​an​ ​informal​ ​agreement​ ​and​ ​I​ ​will​ ​only​ ​be​ ​offering​ ​and
presenting​ ​my​ ​ideas​ ​for​ ​the​ ​community.
The​ ​area​ ​that​ ​i​ ​will​ ​be​ ​concentrating​ ​on​ ​is​ ​Barkingside.​ ​Barkingside​ ​is​ ​made​ ​up​ ​of
three​ ​leaders​ ​called,​ ​Councillor​ ​Karen​ ​Packer,​ ​Councillor​ ​Ashley​ ​Stephen​ ​Kissin​ ​and
Councillor​ ​Keith​ ​Prince.​ ​Keith​ ​Prince​ ​is​ ​the​ ​chairman​ ​of​ ​the​ ​transport​ ​committee,
deputy​ ​chairman​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Audit​ ​Panel​ ​and​ ​member​ ​of​ ​the​ ​budget​ ​and​ ​performance
committee​ ​also​ ​a​ ​member​ ​of​ ​the​ ​GLA​ ​Oversight​ ​committee.​ ​Prince​ ​is​ ​seen​ ​to​ ​​ ​have​ ​a
more​ ​significant​ ​role​ ​than​ ​the​ ​other​ ​two​ ​councillors​ ​as​ ​he​ ​has​ ​more​ ​tasks​ ​to​ ​take​ ​care
of.​ ​The​ ​brief​ ​is​ ​a​ ​competition​ ​that​ ​will​ ​be​ ​a​ ​motivation​ ​for​ ​people​ ​as​ ​it​ ​will​ ​inspire
people​ ​to​ ​do​ ​well​ ​and​ ​present​ ​their​ ​ideas​ ​so​ ​they​ ​can​ ​be​ ​known​ ​for​ ​doing​ ​something
effective​ ​and​ ​useful.
The​ ​brief​ ​explains​ ​that​ ​I​ ​will​ ​need​ ​to​ ​choose​ ​an​ ​option​ ​that​ ​is​ ​currently​ ​a​ ​problem​ ​in
the​ ​community​ ​and​ ​this​ ​will​ ​lead​ ​to​ ​me​ ​working​ ​with​ ​other​ ​classmates​ ​to​ ​make​ ​a
project​ ​that​ ​will​ ​present​ ​our​ ​ideas​ ​and​ ​hopefully​ ​everyone​ ​agrees​ ​with​ ​us​ ​and​ ​then
make​ ​the​ ​solution​ ​happen​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​improve​ ​the​ ​community.​ ​We​ ​will​ ​need​ ​to​ ​make
a​ ​video​ ​that​ ​will​ ​be​ ​between​ ​8-10​ ​minutes​ ​long​ ​to​ ​allow​ ​us​ ​to​ ​discuss​ ​the​ ​situation
that​ ​we​ ​see​ ​is​ ​the​ ​biggest​ ​problem​ ​in​ ​the​ ​community.

3. Suela​ ​Elezi
Purpose​ ​of​ ​project:
The​ ​purpose​ ​of​ ​this​ ​project​ ​is​ ​to​ ​bring​ ​people​ ​together​ ​in​ ​the​ ​community​ ​of​ ​Redbridge
by​ ​making​ ​community​ ​cohesion​ ​occur.​ ​Moving​ ​on,​ ​another​ ​purpose​ ​is​ ​that​ ​the​ ​project
will​ ​help​ ​to​ ​raise​ ​awareness​ ​within​ ​the​ ​community​ ​because​ ​there​ ​may​ ​be​ ​some
problems​ ​such​ ​as,littering,​ ​poverty,​ ​vandalism,​ ​crime​ ​and​ ​others,​ ​that​ ​need​ ​to​ ​be
resolved​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​help​ ​people​ ​have​ ​a​ ​stable​ ​community​ ​and​ ​the​ ​information​ ​will​ ​be
shared​ ​so​ ​many​ ​people​ ​can​ ​offer​ ​their​ ​solutions​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​fix​ ​the​ ​problems​ ​that
occur.​ ​By​ ​creating​ ​this​ ​project​ ​it​ ​will​ ​allow​ ​people​ ​to​ ​gather​ ​together​ ​in​ ​​ ​a​ ​group​ ​and
share​ ​their​ ​ideas​ ​and​ ​express​ ​what​ ​they​ ​think​ ​would​ ​be​ ​the​ ​best​ ​solution​ ​to​ ​follow​ ​as
it​ ​would​ ​help​ ​the​ ​community.​ ​In​ ​my​ ​group,​ ​we​ ​have​ ​decided​ ​that​ ​we​ ​would​ ​want​ ​to
talk​ ​about​ ​school​ ​life​ ​as​ ​this​ ​topic​ ​can​ ​involve​ ​the​ ​parents​ ​of​ ​the​ ​students​ ​and​ ​the
school​ ​students.​ ​We​ ​think​ ​topic​ ​would​ ​be​ ​best​ ​to​ ​talk​ ​about​ ​as​ ​we​ ​feel​ ​that​ ​is​ ​is​ ​a
broad​ ​topic​ ​that​ ​covers​ ​nearly​ ​everyone​ ​in​ ​a
community.​ ​For​ ​example,​ ​we​ ​will​ ​be​ ​looking​ ​at​ ​the
topic​ ​of​ ​bullying​ ​as​ ​I​ ​think​ ​this​ ​issue​ ​is​ ​not​ ​really
talked​ ​about​ ​and​ ​there​ ​actually​ ​may​ ​be​ ​more​ ​people
affected​ ​by​ ​this​ ​but​ ​may​ ​be​ ​too​ ​scared​ ​to​ ​talk​ ​about
this​ ​topic,​ ​therefore​ ​I​ ​will​ ​try​ ​to​ ​help​ ​understand​ ​the
students​ ​affected​ ​by​ ​this​ ​issue​ ​and​ ​bring​ ​this
awareness​ ​attention​ ​to​ ​the​ ​council.
Redbridge​ ​has​ ​already​ ​introduced​ ​a​ ​few​ ​social​ ​actions​ ​that​ ​have​ ​helped​ ​the
community.​ ​One​ ​social​ ​action​ ​that​ ​has​ ​been​ ​effective​ ​over​ ​the​ ​years​ ​is​ ​​ ​bins,​ ​waste
and​ ​recycling.​ ​This​ ​social​ ​action​ ​was​ ​developed​ ​to​ ​get​ ​people​ ​in​ ​the​ ​community​ ​to
recycle​ ​and​ ​make​ ​sure​ ​that​ ​the​ ​community​ ​is​ ​kept​ ​clean​ ​as​ ​people​ ​have​ ​received
bins​ ​from​ ​the​ ​council​ ​which​ ​allows​ ​the​ ​locals​ ​to​ ​separate​ ​certain​ ​items​ ​such​ ​as​ ​glass,
plastic​ ​and​ ​other​ ​food​ ​wastes​ ​to​ ​be​ ​then
recycled​ ​more​ ​easily​ ​and​ ​therefore​ ​help​ ​the
keep​ ​the​ ​environment​ ​safe.​ ​This​ ​social​ ​action
is​ ​effective​ ​because​ ​it​ ​has​ ​brought​ ​the
community​ ​together​ ​as​ ​it​ ​will​ ​make​ ​people
want​ ​to​ ​all​ ​do​ ​the​ ​same​ ​because​ ​if​ ​a​ ​person
sees​ ​their​ ​neighbour​ ​then​ ​this​ ​will​ ​motivate
other​ ​neighbours​ ​to​ ​recycle​ ​as​ ​well​ ​and
therefore​ ​everyone​ ​will​ ​be​ ​recycling​ ​and​ ​working​ ​together​ ​to​ ​make​ ​sure​ ​the​ ​items​ ​are
collected​ ​by​ ​the​ ​council​ ​and​ ​keep​ ​the​ ​area​ ​safe​ ​and​ ​clean.​ ​Also,​ ​this​ ​social​ ​action
has​ ​be​ ​achievable​ ​as​ ​the​ ​locals​ ​have​ ​been​ ​separating​ ​the​ ​certain​ ​items​ ​and
therefore​ ​more​ ​items​ ​have​ ​been​ ​recycled​ ​and​ ​lead​ ​to​ ​waste​ ​being​ ​removed​ ​and
keeping​ ​the​ ​community​ ​clean​ ​as​ ​people​ ​have​ ​bins​ ​which​ ​they​ ​can​ ​put​ ​their​ ​waste
and​ ​then​ ​on​ ​certain​ ​days​ ​they​ ​council​ ​will​ ​send​ ​a​ ​vehicle​ ​that​ ​collects​ ​the​ ​waste.

As​ ​you​ ​can​ ​see​ ​from​ ​the​ ​images​ ​below,​ ​it​ ​shows​ ​the​ ​social​ ​actions​ ​that​ ​Redbridge
has​ ​created​ ​which​ ​have​ ​helped​ ​the​ ​locals​ ​living​ ​in​ ​the​ ​borough.
Opportunities​ ​developed:
Numerous​ ​of​ ​opportunities​ ​will​ ​be​ ​developed​ ​because​ ​by​ ​creating​ ​this​ ​project​ ​that
will​ ​be​ ​focusing​ ​on​ ​locals​ ​in​ ​a​ ​community,​ ​I​ ​will​ ​learn​ ​new​ ​skills,​ ​develop​ ​self​ ​skills
and​ ​increase​ ​the​ ​opportunity​ ​of​ ​employability.​ ​I​ ​will​ ​gain​ ​new​ ​skills​ ​from​ ​this​ ​project
such​ ​as​ ​communication​ ​skills,​ ​team​ ​working​ ​skills,​ ​film​ ​and​ ​editing​ ​skills​ ​and
improvement​ ​in​ ​my​ ​pitching​ ​skills.
My​ ​communication​ ​skills​ ​will​ ​be​ ​improved​ ​because​ ​I​ ​will​ ​be​ ​talking​ ​to​ ​different​ ​people
who​ ​may​ ​be​ ​living​ ​in​ ​the​ ​community​ ​and​ ​leaders​ ​from​ ​the​ ​Redbridge​ ​council​ ​and​ ​this
will​ ​get​ ​me​ ​use​ ​to​ ​talking​ ​to​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​people​ ​and​ ​being​ ​confident.​ ​I​ ​will​ ​also​ ​be​ ​working
with​ ​people​ ​in​ ​a​ ​group​ ​so​ ​my​ ​team​ ​working​ ​skills​ ​will​ ​be​ ​better​ ​as​ ​I​ ​will​ ​work​ ​with
people​ ​that​ ​I​ ​may​ ​not​ ​have​ ​spoken​ ​to​ ​before​ ​and​ ​create​ ​a​ ​project​ ​with​ ​them​ ​that​ ​will
bring​ ​out​ ​all​ ​our​ ​skills​ ​to​ ​create​ ​it​ ​and​ ​because​ ​I​ ​already​ ​learn​ ​media​ ​in​ ​school,​ ​I
already​ ​have​ ​some​ ​knowledge​ ​of​ ​the​ ​subject​ ​but​ ​my​ ​editing​ ​skills​ ​will​ ​be​ ​more
enhanced​ ​as​ ​I​ ​will​ ​need​ ​to​ ​do​ ​editing​ ​and​ ​film​ ​in​ ​the​ ​project​ ​so​ ​I​ ​will​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​learn
new​ ​skills​ ​that​ ​I​ ​will​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​use​ ​in​ ​the​ ​future.​ ​I​ ​will​ ​need​ ​to​ ​pitch​ ​my​ ​project​ ​that​ ​I
will​ ​have​ ​created​ ​and​ ​therefore​ ​my​ ​pitching​ ​skills​ ​will​ ​be​ ​upgraded​ ​as​ ​I​ ​will​ ​need​ ​to
present​ ​my​ ​idea​ ​to​ ​an​ ​audience​ ​and​ ​this​ ​will​ ​make​ ​me​ ​make​ ​sure​ ​that​ ​I​ ​have​ ​learnt
what​ ​I​ ​need​ ​to​ ​say​ ​and​ ​try​ ​not​ ​to​ ​make​ ​any​ ​mistakes​ ​when​ ​presenting​ ​and​ ​keep​ ​me
organised​ ​as​ ​I​ ​need​ ​to​ ​be​ ​professional​ ​when​ ​presenting​ ​the​ ​project.
This​ ​project​ ​will​ ​also​ ​enhance​ ​self-development​ ​because​ ​I​ ​will​ ​have​ ​gained​ ​new
experiences​ ​and​ ​it​ ​will​ ​also​ ​be​ ​useful​ ​for​ ​me​ ​to​ ​add​ ​this​ ​experience​ ​to​ ​my​ ​portfolio
which​ ​will​ ​then​ ​increase​ ​employability​ ​when​ ​looking​ ​for​ ​a​ ​job​ ​in​ ​the​ ​future.
Furthermore,​ ​by​ ​creating​ ​this​ ​project​ ​it​ ​will​ ​make​ ​grow​ ​and​ ​improve​ ​on​ ​my​ ​skills​ ​and
give​ ​me​ ​an​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​express​ ​my​ ​ideas​ ​and​ ​views​ ​that​ ​I​ ​strongly​ ​believe​ ​on​ ​a
specific​ ​topic​ ​and​ ​believe​ ​that​ ​they​ ​will​ ​be​ ​beneficial​ ​for​ ​the​ ​community.
