This project forms part of Historic England’s Technical Guidance Review, which has the overarching aim to ensure our guidance is up to date, reflective of current understanding and best practice for historic building climate change mitigation and adaptation. To this end, Historic England has identified that robust, evidence-based solutions for climate change mitigation in English buildings of traditional construction are needed that demonstrably balance savings in energy and carbon (operational and embodied) across heating and cooling seasons, whilst supporting the climate resilience of fabric and their occupants through the anticipated changes to our climate. As a first step, a literature review and gap analysis is required to determine the current level of understanding of the topic and help steer the development of further research. It will focus on the following research questions: 1. How do the hygrothermal and dynamic thermal properties of English traditional solid wall construction affect whole-building overheating risk and passive cooling performance, and how are these affected by insulation retrofit and future climate scenarios? 2. How do these wall-related effects interact with other whole-building factors, including orientation, solar gain, ventilation, occupancy/use, moisture condition, heating/cooling patterns and other mitigation and adaptation measures? The findings will be presented as an article for publication in a peer-reviewed journal (journal to be agreed) and for publication in Historic England’s Research Report Series format. They will be disseminated through Historic England’s Technical Tuesday webinar series.

With the planned roll-out of HPV self-testing, we may see improvements in uptake rates, however there will still be a need for cervical screening for those where self-testing indicates high risk HPV, meaning that there will be an ongoing need to provide culturally competent and trauma informed interventions in cervical screening services. Previous insights suggest that although there are a small number of specialist services concentrated in major cities in England which provide a range of women’s health services for women who have experienced FGM, including cervical screening, many women are unaware of these or are unable to access them. This project aims to ensure that there is sufficient access to culturally sensitive trauma informed staff able to respond to this need. This will support the objectives of the NHS England » Cervical cancer elimination by 2040 – plan for England. The project will consist of 5 phases: 1. Explore accessibility to HPV self-testing and cervical screening for victims of sexual abuse/trauma/FGM (working with stakeholders). 2. Scope interventions deployed in other countries to ensure self-testing and screening is accessible for these groups. Comprehensive review of published material detailing effective pathways into and subsequent to HPV self-testing, including how those with positive high risk HPV tests are supported in cervical screening. 3. Scope existing educational and informational resources and training in England for healthcare practitioners. Scope what existing educational and informational resources and training has been developed/evaluated to equip healthcare practitioners in supporting women and people with a cervix who have experienced FGM and other types of trauma to engage in HPV self-testing and cervical screening 4. Engage with practitioners to assess current competence and confidence. Engage with practitioners including CS sample takers to assess extent to which they are trained in TIC and how confident they are in their skills and competence in providing TIC, including those in GP and specialist settings. Identify knowledge and training gaps and co-produce any assets required to address identified gaps, e.g. development of content/e-learning /video to include in the NHS Cervical Screening Sample Taker Update Training - (working with relevant sexual abuse/trauma charities). 5. Trial assets and training and evaluate impact with a small group of practitioners Trial a selected set of assets and training with a small group of practitioners supported by training and evaluate the impact on their reported competence and confidence.

This commission sits within Natural England's Natural Capital and Economics Teams, which work on evidence to ensure that nature, and the multiple benefits it provides, are considered in decision-making. In 2024, Natural England published a State of Natural Capital Report State of Natural Capital Report (SONC). It brings together the best available evidence on the state of England's natural capital. It aims to wake up policymakers, and other decision-makers, to risks from natural capital loss and convince them to invest in, and protect, nature.  SONC contains significant quantitative information. However, its output is qualitative. The lack of quantification means that audiences who are unfamiliar with environmental evidence are unable to weigh the importance of our risk ratings against other risk ratings in their own policy area.  This project aims to extend the SONC work into quantification, specifically through reference to 7 risks in the National Risk Register National Risk Register 2025 (NRR). We are working with the idea that changes in the chronic risks impact on the future likelihood and impact of the event risks in the NRR. Specifically, we are interested in the potential of nature recovery to mitigate expected increases in the likelihood and impacts of a selected group of NRR risks which are nature related. Project Aims: This project has two aims. These are: 1) to make the case for nature recovery, through demonstrating the potential for nature recovery to mitigate increases in selected NRR risks. 2) to develop our ability to make quantified connections from SONC to other policy areas to support future work. We are looking for strategic, proportionate and complexity-sensitive quantification, and set out further what we mean by this below.
