Rutherglen and Cambuslang – QD Division The Sub Division is the home to the towns of Rutherglen and Cambuslang, which lie to the north west of South Lanarkshire Division, forming the gateway to the area from the city of Glasgow. This is the most densely populated section of Q Division with some 54,000 people residing in a compact area of 12 square miles. 3 Glasgow South Division Profile August 2010 CRIME TRENDS Criminal Reports Submitted for the Financial Year 2009 – 2010 The number of criminal reports submitted to the Glasgow Office in the Financial Year 2009 to 2010 was 65,244. The number of criminal reports submitted to South Division was 23,072 or 35% of the criminal caseload for the Glasgow Office. Summary Cases As with all the Divisions in Glasgow, South Division has a robust approach to summary cases to ensure the workload is placed within the appropriate court. In line with the National and Area protocols, there is an extensive use of the Stipendiary Magistrate and District Court. We are working continuously with Scottish Court Service to ensure that cases proceed in a timely and efficient manner. COPFS Published Target Compliance The Take and Implement target is taking and implementing a decision in 75% of crime reports within 4 weeks of receipt. Glasgow South Division achieved 82% in the Financial Year 2009 -2010. The average performance for the last quarter was 77%. Solemn Cases The Division no longer deals with High Court cases as a specialised division has been set up to take these cases forward. The High Court Division is split into 3 teams – Homicide, Sexual Offences and Serious Crime. These teams deal with all aspects of the cases and are experts in these areas. Net Petitions Reported for the Financial Year 2009 -2010 Glasgow had 1947 cases as net petitions (after reductions to summary are taken into account) Glasgow South Division accounts for 683 petitions or 35% of the business. Precognitions to CO for the Financial Year 2009 – 2010 Glasgow produced 1,566 precognitions with Glasgow South Division producing 535 precognitions or 34% of the Glasgow total. 4 Glasgow South Division Profile August 2010 Bail Cases Target Compliance for the Financial Year 2009 - 2010 Target for High Court – 80% in 9 months Actual Achieved: Glasgow 92%: Glasgow South Division 97% Target for Sheriff and Jury – 80% in 8 months Actual Achieved: Glasgow 88%: Glasgow South Division 88%. VICTIM INFORMATION AND ADVICE There are currently 6 staff members in VIA South providing a dedicated service to eligible victims, witnesses and bereaved nearest relatives across the Glasgow South area. At present, VIA South receive approximately upwards of 212 new cases month and more than half of these are related to domestic abuse. VIA work closely with staff in the Domestic Abuse Unit (see below) as well as the police and other external support agencies, such as ASSIST. Other case referrals are related to racist and religious crimes, sexual offences, involve child and/or vulnerable witnesses and cases that are likely to involve trial before a jury. VIA explore additional support that will be required if witnesses are required to give evidence and draft applications for Special Measures under the Vulnerable Witnesses (Scotland) Act 2004. VIA have operational responsibility for the Victim Impact Statement Scheme. This was introduced in April 2009 for cases prosecuted on indictment and the legislation gives victims the right to make an Impact Statement for prescribed offences. DOMESTIC ABUSE COURT A dedicated Domestic Abuse Unit was established in March 2009 for the whole of the Glasgow area but embedded in South Division. Building upon existing arrangements and experience, it brings together specially trained prosecutors and fiscal officers from across the three Glasgow geographic PF Divisions, receiving cases from the three Strathclyde Police Divisions, A, B, G and also QD Sub Division which serve Glasgow. The Unit provides a consistent and specialist resource for all domestic abuse cases reported by the police and enhances the service provided to victims of domestic abuse across the city. VIA colleagues play a particularly crucial role in working with victims and witnesses in domestic abuse cases. The provision of timely information about case progress; about protective bail conditions; and signposting sources of support are all vital in helping victims of domestic abuse find confidence to speak to their experiences. 5 Glasgow South Division Profile August 2010 Deputes within the Unit appear daily in the specialist Domestic Abuse Court at Glasgow Sheriff Court, which is presided over by a group of specially trained sheriffs. The staff within the Unit are responsible for investigating and marking domestic custodies and preparing and prosecuting all summary cases within the Domestic Abuse Court. A dedicated team also prepare domestic cases for proceedings at solemn level. The work of the Unit depends on strong and productive relationships with many criminal justice partners, especially the police and ASSIST, the victim advocacy and support agency for victims of domestic abuse. Information is shared between agencies, whenever appropriate, to ensure our collective response to this type of offending is as robust and efficient as possible. Close links have also been established with the Strathclyde Police Domestic Abuse Task Force which was set up in 2009 to target the more serious and persistent domestic offenders. Advice, guidance and direction are provided regularly to the Task Force in relation to ongoing investigations. LIAISON WITH CRIMINAL JUSTICE PARTNERS Police There is a regular meeting of legal managers and admin managers with the police every 2 months. These liaison meetings are on a formal basis but informal meetings are convened when the need arises. There are a number of joint initiatives with the police and other partners and stakeholders. SCRA – Scottish Children’s Reporters Agency There are regular meetings held with the Reporter for the ‘G’ Division and ‘QD’ Division areas so that decisions can be taken on cases which have been jointly reported. Initiatives x The Archway - The first Scottish Sexual Offences Referral Centre This service, which is funded by Glasgow City Council/ NHS and Police operates from the Sandyford Initiative. After a successful evaluation, funding has been agreed to secure the future of the service. Archway provides a one-stop shop for health and forensic services for victims of sexual violence. There is close, ongoing, contact with the clinicians in terms of both practice 6 Glasgow South Division Profile August 2010 and policy and in individual cases. The Divisional PF, Shona Barrie, sits on the Archway Steering Group; has been closely involved in the evaluation, which was published in late November 2009; and regularly contributes to training of Archway

  • Simd Analysis: Future Projections
    SIMD ANALYSIS: FUTURE PROJECTIONS 1. Background and Introduction 1.1. This paper analyses the reasons behind the recent decline of deprivation in Glasgow, projects these trends towards 2015, and comments on their likely implications. It is based on a presentation made to the Community Planning Executive Group on 2nd June 2010, which itself came from a series of events held in autumn 2009/spring 2010, involving over 120 people from council and non- council organisations in Glasgow. 1.2. The gains Glasgow made in reducing its share of Scotland’s deprivation have been the result of long-term trends that have been operating over the last two or more decades. Identifying both the trends that led to the current situation, and those currently in operation which can reasonably be presented as being influential in Glasgow towards 2015, form the basis of the projections in this paper. The main indicator used has been the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD), and the analysis of three waves (2004, 2006 and 2009) has been supported by the use of other indicators. Looking at the absence of deprivation as well as at areas defined by deprivation includes all communities and gives a rounded analysis of the city. 1.3. The trends that have shaped the city at present are long-term and have been in operation since the 1990s, if not earlier. It follows that trends that can be identified in the present day will be those that influence the city by 2015. Their general direction has been to accelerate Glasgow’s development to its current position as a representative medium-sized western European city.

  • Our History History of Glen Oaks Housing Association Limited
    “Where communities thrive” Our History History of Glen Oaks Housing Association Limited Our vision statement “Where Communities Thrive”, aims to set the scene for the long- term future of our estates. In its 26-year history, the Association has built up a strong reputation as an innovative community-controlled organisation which places customer service, financial viability and being an excellent employer at its heart. Since its registration in 1991 the Association has grown organically through renovations, new-build and stock transfers. Darnley housing stock transfer: the Association was initially set up to take ownership of 310 homes in the Darnley area from the then Glasgow District Council, following a tenant ballot. The Darnley estate was built in the 1970s and by the 1990s poor design and maintenance, along with many empty homes, meant that a multi-agency, multi-tenure regeneration plan for the whole Darnley estate was required and agreed. The Association went on to re-develop its existing homes, most of which were demolished and replaced with high quality new homes. A small number of existing homes were refurbished. Glen Oaks also developed a further 40 new homes in Darnley on a separate site acquired from Glasgow City Council. Cartloch housing stock transfer: the Association was approached by a group of tenants in the Cartloch area of North Pollok. They had initially hoped to set up their own housing association, however this wasn’t a viable option so they decided to work with an existing landlord. Glen Oaks was chosen and, after a tenant ballot, went on to achieve a successful stock transfer of 235 homes from Glasgow City Council in 1997.

  • A Welcome Housing Boost from Glen Oaks New Housing Is Coming to Arden with News That the Association Is to Begin Work on 48 Much-Needed Homes
    home AUTUMN 2015 www.glenoaks.org.uk A welcome housing boost from Glen Oaks New housing is coming to Arden with news that the Association is to begin work on 48 much-needed homes. They will be built on the site of the former St Louise Primary School and work will begin in October. The £6.4 million project is great news for the community and half the cost has been generously funded by the Scottish Government via Glasgow City Council. Glen Oaks will fund the other half. Chief Executive Alasdair McKee said: “Everyone will welcome this exciting new development of homes – it is just what the community needs. It is the fifth such development in the last 10 years which has delivered 150 new homes for Arden. We are very grateful to Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Government who share our vision of creating new homes.” Arden’s latest housing comes at a time when FOUR major refurbishment projects have taken place in the area transforming 430 tenements and in turn making a big difference to people’s lives. And it brings to £25million the total Glen Oaks has spent on housing in Arden. In a further important development, Glen Oaks is pleased to announce that we have struck an agreement with the contractor Crudens to provide some employment opportunities during the construction of the homes beginning Looking to the future…..Glen Oaks Senior Project Officer Louise with a temporary post for a cleaner.
