3 | ## Content
4 |
5 | There are three main ways to contribute content to this project:
6 |
7 | 1. Use the CMS to create a post directly
8 | 2. Open a PR to create a post directly
9 | 3. Open an issue to ask someone else to create a post
10 |
11 | ### Use the CMS
12 |
13 | To use the CMS, you need an account. This access is limited to CYF members. Talk to PD to get an invitation. Once you have an account, you can log in at https://cyf-signposts.netlify.app/admin.
14 |
15 | ### Open a PR
16 |
17 | 1. Create a new file in /content/posts
18 | 2. Include the required front matter, eg:
19 |
20 | ```md
21 | ---
22 | title: "Name of the resource"
23 | link: "https://example-resource.org"
24 | date: 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z
25 | regions: ["London", "West Midlands"]
26 | topics: ["Mental Health", "Housing"]
27 | cyf: false
28 | ---
29 | ```
30 |
31 | And write your post in markdown. Please keep it plain and factual, so people understand what this service does and how to contact them. Don't share your opinions or experience. Posts of more than 300 words will be rejected.
32 |
33 | Only CYF internal services should be marked with `cyf:true` and only staff may add these. PRs with `cyf:true` will be rejected.
34 |
35 | 3. Open a PR with your post
36 |
37 | Please follow the PR template. If you are not sure how to do this, open a new issue and someone will review your recommendation.
38 |
39 | ### Open an issue
40 |
41 | If you are not sure how to create a post, or you don't have access to the CMS, you can open an issue. Someone will review your recommendation and create a post for you.
42 |
43 | ## Crucial
44 |
45 | This is a recommender system. Please do not just google charities and add them to the list. You must have engaged with this service in some way. Please do not share any personal details. This page is public.
46 |
47 | ## Review recommendations
48 |
49 | We need people to review the recommendations and make sure they are still valid. If you are a user of a service, and it is no longer available or taking new referrals, please open a PR to remove it from the list, or open an issue and someone will do it for you (eventually).
50 |
51 | ## Development
52 |
53 | This is a microsite. It is not intended to be a general purpose website. We are not interested in adding features that are not directly related to the purpose of the site, which is a list of useful resources CYF members can use to resolve specific blockers in their lives.
54 |
55 | If you want to contribute to the development of the site, please open an issue to discuss your idea. We are happy to accept PRs for bug fixes and small improvements, but we need to discuss larger changes first.
56 |
57 | To run the site locally, you need to install Hugo. See the README for more details.

5 | CREATIVE COMMONS CORPORATION IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE

8 | INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS. CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES
9 | REGARDING THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS
10 | PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM
11 | THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED
12 | HEREUNDER.
13 |
14 | Statement of Purpose
15 |
16 | The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
17 | exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator
18 | and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
19 | authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
20 |
21 | Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for
22 | the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and
23 | scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear
24 | of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other
25 | works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever
26 | and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes.
27 | These owners may contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free
28 | culture and the further production of creative, cultural and scientific
29 | works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their Work in
30 | part through the use and efforts of others.
31 |
32 | For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any
33 | expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the person
34 | associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she
35 | is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily
36 | elects to apply CC0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its
37 | terms, with knowledge of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in the
38 | Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of CC0 on those rights.
39 |
40 | 1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be
41 | protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
42 | Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not
43 | limited to, the following:
44 |
45 | i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display,
46 | communicate, and translate a Work;
47 | ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
48 | iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or
49 | likeness depicted in a Work;
50 | iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
51 | subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
52 | v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data
53 | in a Work;
54 | vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the
55 | European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal
56 | protection of databases, and under any national implementation
57 | thereof, including any amended or successor version of such
58 | directive); and
59 | vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the
60 | world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national
61 | implementations thereof.
62 |
63 | 2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention
64 | of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently,
65 | irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of
66 | Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes
67 | of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as
68 | future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories
69 | worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or
70 | treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future
71 | medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever,
72 | including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional
73 | purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each
74 | member of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and
75 | successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to
76 | revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or
77 | equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public
78 | as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
79 |
80 | 3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason
81 | be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the
82 | Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into
83 | account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the
84 | extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected
85 | person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive,
86 | irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and
87 | Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the
88 | maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future
89 | time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number
90 | of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without
91 | limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the
92 | "License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date CC0 was
93 | applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any
94 | reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such
95 | partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder
96 | of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she
97 | will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related
98 | Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of
99 | action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's
100 | express Statement of Purpose.
101 |
102 | 4. Limitations and Disclaimers.
103 |
104 | a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
105 | surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.
106 | b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or
107 | warranties of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied,
108 | statutory or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of
109 | title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non
110 | infringement, or the absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or
111 | the present or absence of errors, whether or not discoverable, all to
112 | the greatest extent permissible under applicable law.
113 | c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons
114 | that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without
115 | limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work.
116 | Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary
117 | consents, permissions or other rights required for any use of the
118 | Work.
119 | d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a
120 | party to this document and has no duty or obligation with respect to
121 | this CC0 or use of the Work.

6 | Code Your Future is a community filled with expertise, but this expertise is largely in programming. We are a vocational training programme, not a support service. We cannot provide legal advice, immigration advice, therapy, social services, or healthcare. It would be irresponsible for us to try to deliver these services as untrained amateurs. We are tech professionals, not lawyers, psychiatrists, or social workers.
7 |
8 | Many people in our community are dealing with serious, long-term, and complex problems. Signposting to specialist services is the responsible thing to do. Do not try to handle these serious problems yourself.
9 |
10 | Knowing the limits of your expertise, or working within your competence, is an ethical boundary everyone must maintain, for the health and safety of our community.
11 |
12 | For example, it is a criminal offence, punishable by fine and/or imprisonment, for anyone to provide, or offer to provide, immigration advice and services without being approved to do so. If you did not know that, what else do you not know?
13 |
14 | We cannot fix everything and we must not try. What we can do is create many opportunities and remove simple material barriers. The most important thing to understand is that at Code Your Future we can create many chances. If anyone has a major blocker, that is preventing them from succeeding, it really is ok to withdraw, deal with the situation, and come back when ready to work.
15 |
16 | We will be here when they (or you!) are ready.

15 |
16 | \- Option 1: Traditional bank account
17 |
18 | \- Option 2: Traditional bank basic account
19 |
20 | \- Option 3: Non-traditional banks - These usually have fees, so are more expensive, but the advantage is that they are very easy to open for anyone. Examples: [Pockit](www.pockit.com) or [Monese](monese.com)

16 |
17 | ## How to join the library
18 |
19 | 1. Find a library near you by googling it with your postcode, for example "public library M1 6NG"
20 | 2. Go to the library. Sometimes you need a letter showing your address, so bring one if you can.
21 | 3. Go to the desk and ask to join the library. You can join any library - you don't need to live locally.
22 | 4. Once you have your card and PIN, ask to use the computers.
23 | 5. It is always completely free to join and use the public library, but there might be time limits on the free internet.
24 |
25 | ### Tips
26 |
27 | 1. If you need more than one hour internet time, ask at the desk for the time you need before you start. It's usually fine unless they are very busy.
28 | 2. If the library is a "Library of Sanctuary", you won't need any ID or proof of address.
29 | 3. You need to bring your own headphones to the library. If you don't have any, CYF has free headphones you can get from class.
30 | 4. You've got to be quiet in the library, but you are really welcome to use it. Everybody wants you to use the library!

17 | Early education and childcare for children is funded by the UK Government for children in England. The child’s age will determine which scheme applies and whether childcare is universally available or only available to eligible children.
18 |
19 | Government funded early education and childcare is not classed as a public fund for immigration purposes, so can be accessed by a child regardless of their immigration status. However, some schemes have eligibility requirements relating to the immigration status of the parent(s) and so may not be available to all families.

17 | The purpose of the Statement of Comparability service is to allow people with qualifications completed outside of the UK to evidence the comparable level of these in the [UK education frameworks](https://www.enic.org.uk/Documents/Guide%20to%20the%20UK%20education%20systems_final.pdf).
18 |
19 | The Statement of Comparability helps to explain and to give context to your qualifications when you are applying for a job or for study.\
20 | \
21 | You do **not** need to pay for this document to apply for CYF. Do not do this. This signpost is for CYF grads applying for **jobs** with required qualifications. \
22 | \
23 | If you are a refugee who has _lost_ their documents, email pastoral@codeyourfuture.io about this. There is a specialist refugee team at ENIC to help with this situation.
