Seasonal Community Safety Calendar 2016 18 2 INTRODUCTION This performance report provides information on our prevention, protection and operational response activities within Na H-Eileanan an Iar over the period Quarter 4 2015-2016, (1 January – 31 March). The Scottish Government provides an overarching vision for public services. This vision is supported by 16 National Outcomes which demonstrate commitment to creating a more successful country, with opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish, through increasing sustainable growth. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) can make a significant contribution to improving these outcomes in Na H-Eileanan an Iar by contributing to the Community Planning arrangements. The national priorities for the SFRS are set out in the Fire and Rescue Framework for Scotland 2013. The SFRS Strategic Plan 2013-2016 outlines how the SFRS will deliver against these priorities and the outcomes against which this delivery can be measured. The priorities contained within the Local Fire and Rescue Plan for Na H-Eileanan an Iar 2014-2017 reflects the Outer Hebrides Community Planning Partnership Plan including the Single Outcome Agreement (SOA) 2014 – 17. The SOA includes a range of key themes focused on delivering improved outcomes for the communities of Na HEileanan an Iar. The aims of the local Fire and Rescue Service in Na H-Eileanan an Iar are to reduce deaths, injuries and damage to property from fires and other emergency events. We aim to achieve this by working in partnership, being pro-active and targeting our prevention and protection activities to where they are most required, based on evidence. Within the Local Fire and Rescue Plan for Na H-Eileanan an Iar 2014 - 2017, 9 priorities for the local Fire and Rescue Service have been identified; Priority 1. Local Risk Management and Preparedness Priority 2. Reduction of Accidental Dwelling Fires Priority 3. Reduction in Fire Casualties and Fatalities Priority 4. Reduction of Deliberate Fire Setting Priority 5. Reduction of Fires in Non-Domestic Property Priority 6. Reduction in Casualties from Non Fire Emergencies Priority 7. Reduction of Unwanted Fire Alarm Signals Priority 8. Enhance our contribution to community planning Priority 9. Enhance our local engagement practice 3 Performance Summary Scorecard We measure how well we are meeting our priorities using 6 key indicators, depicted below Apr to (& incl.)

The lower half of each bar indicates the average day-time availability of a fire appliance from 6am to 6pm across the month. The upper half of each bar indicates the average night-time availability of a fire appliance from 6 pm to 6am across the month. Blue portions of a bar indicate the percentage of time when a fire appliance was operationally available, red portions when operationally unavailable. The primary factor affecting appliance availability remains staffing. Low staffing numbers means that it takes only 1 or 2 members to be unavailable through primary employment, leave or sickness to fundamentally affect the availability of the stations’ appliance. As can be seen in the charts below, Castlebay, Bayhead and South Lochs are particularly affected. It is to the credit of other stations with low numbers such as Port of Ness, Valtos and Shawbost that their availability remains high despite other demands on personnel. To ensure that safe systems of work are in place, SFRS policy stipulates that a minimum of 4 suitably qualified personnel must crew an appliance before it can be considered available, this number includes the Officer in Charge who will have completed a minimum of Incident Command Level 1 training. In addition the Gartan FSi electronic availability system is designed around specific criteria, specifying that a qualified Officer in Charge is available, a trained Emergency driver is available, qualified BA wearers are available in minimum numbers, all of which ‘overlays’ the minimum number of personnel to crew the vehicle (4). In simple terms the ‘system’ interrogates the available personnel automatically and designates the appliance on or off ‘the run’. So, for example, a given station may have 8 personnel available but no OIC with the latest minimum Incident command qualification, and the electronic system would declare this applicant unavailable. Should this appliance be required in the event of an emergency, Operations Control would analyse the situation and alert crews despite the electronic systems status. No incidents have failed to elicit an attendance where a minimum of 4 personnel are available. The recent opening (November 2015) of the new fire behaviour training facility in Stornoway will, it is hoped, increase the appeal of serving the community in the Fire & Rescue Service by streamlining the journey to joining the service and reducing the travel impact on personnel annually. Fire Appliance Availability – January 2016 5 Fire Appliance Availability – February 2016 Fire Appliance Availability – March 2016 6 Fire Station Staffing & Recruitment In 2015 SFRS launched a new model for recruitment which was anticipated would streamline the entire recruitment process and therefore significant benefits to station availability and staffing. The new process has been designed to deliver successful candidates from initial application to station in 16 weeks, and involves localised targeting of areas of the country where need is considered greatest. Western Isles’ latest campaigns were in late 2015, with applicants attending a December course, and the latest ‘Campaign’ was launched on 1st February 2016. Candidates for the latest campaign are expected to complete basic training by June . Local Officers have engaged with local media outlets as well as using social media such as Twitter and Facebook to try to ensure the maximum reach of this recruitment campaign. Leafleting and banners have also been placed in key areas to highlight the recruitment drive and the need for individuals to support their community fire stations.

  • Community Risk Exposure to COVID-19 in Scotland: Analysis and Strategy at the National Level
    Community Risk Exposure to COVID-19 in Scotland: Analysis and Strategy at the National Level Project leader Samuel MacKinnon Researcher Emma Macfarlane April 2020 Copyright Scotianomics Limited 1 Contents 3 About Scotianomics 4 Executive summary 5 Introduction 6 Caution 7 Methodology 7 Transmission probability 9 Fatality probability 10 Results 11 Analysis 14 Key conclusions and strategy 15 Appendix 2 About Scotianomics In the 21st century data is everywhere but it is the analysis that transforms data into valuable, actionable knowledge that is key to success. Organisations, both in Scotland’s private and public sectors, lack access to useful, reliable data and value-added analysis of the kind that most advanced countries take for granted. This creates a hidden but real disadvantage for Scottish business, limits public policy and disrupts the pursuit of shared prosperity. Scotianomics aims to spark a knowledge revolution and inform the decision makers on Scotland’s economy. We provide cutting-edge intelligence and strategic planning resources so that stakeholders can gain a wide view of the threats and opportunities in the world through our geopolitical, economic and policy analysis, unique historical datasets, risk and opportunity forecasts, Geographic Information System mapping solutions and strategic planning services. Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp Director 3 Executive summary • This report introduces a new dataset identifying the level of exposure to COVID-19 in each of Scotland’s 354 council wards. • The dataset is built using data concerning community economic and social connectivity as well as community health data. • This data can be used by government, local government and health officials concerned with public resource allocation and containment, community stakeholders building resilience and local response measures and individuals, to inform their behaviour in particular localities.

  • Shetland Charitable Trust Press Release
    SHETLAND CHARITABLE TRUST PRESS RELEASE Historic day as independent trustees take up seats For the first time since it was set up more than 35 years ago, the charitable organisation responsible for investing and spending Shetland’s oil disturbance money will meet tomorrow with independent trustees forming a majority. Eight appointed trustees will be joined by seven councillor trustees at the historic inaugural meeting of the newly-reconstituted Shetland Charitable Trust. Previously, SCT had comprised up to 22 councillors and two independents. However, under a new governance structure approved by the charities regulator OSCR and agreed to by trustees, the SCT board has been slimmed down to 15 members and the balance shifted in favour of independents. The independent trustees, selected by a panel chaired by former Public Appointments Commissioner for Scotland Karen Carlton, are: Betty Fullerton, Catherine Hughson, Bobby Hunter, Ian Kinniburgh, Keith Massey, Stephen Morgan, Ian Napier and James Smith. The trustees appointed by Shetland Islands Council are: Malcolm Bell, Peter Campbell, Robert Henderson, Andrea Manson, Drew Ratter, George Smith and Jonathan Wills. They now have the task of setting the trust’s strategic direction to ensure its funds are sustained for the benefit of future generations living in Shetland. SCT chief executive Dr Ann Black said: “Today is a significant milestone in the development of Shetland Charitable Trust. “We welcome the new trustees, who will put the best interests of the trust first. “The newly reformed trust will work to shape SCT’s future in difficult economic times so that it can enhance the quality of life for Shetland’s inhabitants for many years to come.” After appointing a chair and a vice-chair from among their number, the new trustees will discuss the SCT’s recommended budget of £10.48 million for 2013/14.
