Adrian Mumford has been busy revising the BIOS Safeguarding Policy. This was approved by Council and should be available on the website by the time this Reporter reaches you. The revision was a requirement for a grant from the Julia Rausing Trust, which has awarded BIOS £10,000 over five years. The funding is specifically for the NPOR. I am grateful to Adrian for masterminding this relationship. BIOS will, of course, put the funding to good use by further
developing the NPOR. The NPOR Joint Management Committee will consider how best to deploy the grant at its next meeting.
BIOS members may have noticed an experimental enhancement to the NPOR website search facility. This will return to the website in the autumn. The aim is to provide a less literal search function and a broader, more contextual search experience.
