  • HMICS Effective Practice Submission
    HMICS Effective Practice submission Title Strathclyde Police and Grampian Police Body Worn Video Force Details CI John Laing, Strathclyde Police, CI Nick Topping, Grampian Police What was the problem / Targeting violence and anti-social behaviour is a national operational priority of the issue Scottish Policing Assessment 2011/15 which contributes to the Scottish Government National Outcome “we live our lives safe from crime disorder and danger. It is also a force and local policing priority which features in local authority single outcome agreements and community planning partnership strategies. Renfrewshire was chosen for this initiative as it has a particularly high level of violence and anti-social behaviour and has a number areas of deprivation including Ferguslie Park (ranked 2 in the SIMD 2009) . Its geography also includes rural areas that are not served by fixed site cctv systems and a number of cycle tracks where mobile cctv is ineffective. Northfield/Mastrick in Grampian were similarly chosen for high levels of violence as well as being one of the most socially deprived in the force area. Public space CCTV plays a significant role in the prevention, detection and prosecution of crime (A national strategy for CCTV in Scotland 2011). Research into a previous National pilot of BWV by the Home Office Police and Crime Standards Directorate (Guidance for the Police use of Body Worn Video Devices - July 2007) highlighted some early results in terms of crime reduction and increased public reassurance as well as reductions in paperwork and court attendance from increased guilty pleas associated with the use of this technology.

  • Electoral Review of Island Council Areas
    Agenda 14 Item Report HC/18/19 No The Highland Council Date: 9 May, 2019 Report title: Electoral Review of Island Council Areas Report by: The Chief Executive Purpose/Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to provide the Council with an overview of the provisions of the Islands (Scotland) Act 2018 that relate to the requirement for the Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland to review the electoral arrangements for Argyll and Bute Council, Comhairle Nan Eilean Siar, Highland Council, North Ayrshire Council, Orkney Islands Council and Shetland Islands Council. 1. Recommendations 1.1 Council is invited to • Agree that the Chief Executive write to the Local Government Boundary Commission seeking a meeting to explore the possibility of the Commission broadening the scope of their current review to include rural wards of super sparsity. • Agree that the Council write to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Local Government to highlight issues around the methodology used in boundary reviews and to make the case for additional flexibility over the number of members for rural wards. 2. Background 2.1 The Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland and the Scottish Ministers are obliged, under section 28(2) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 to implement electoral arrangements in accordance with section 1 of the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004. Currently this includes the requirement for there to be three or four councillors returned per electoral ward in Scotland. 2.2 The Islands (Scotland) Act 2018 amends the 2004 Act to provide an exception to the usual three or four member rule for electoral wards in relation to wards which consist either wholly or partly of one or more inhabited islands.

  • Compassionate Inverclyde – from the Outcomes Achieved to the Policy Fit, Leadership Considerations and the Approach to Community Engagement
    Introduction This report offers insights on various aspects of Compassionate Inverclyde – from the outcomes achieved to the policy fit, leadership considerations and the approach to community engagement. REALISING OUTCOMES AND VALUE Illustrates how the outcomes experienced can be mapped to many local and national outcomes, notably Scotland’s new national performance framework published in 2018 and derivative health and wellbeing outcomes and indicators. It considers the contribution that specific initiatives such as Back Home Boxes and Compassionate Inverclyde as a whole might reasonably be expected to make to specific indicators for readmissions to hospital, delayed discharge from hospital, and the time spent at home or in a homely setting in the last six months of life. This section also notes that the qualities evident in Compassionate Inverclyde are those which have been found to have the most influence on an initiative’s eventual social value. REFLECTIONS ON LEADERSHIP Pulls together reflections on leadership, whether understood as a personal attribute, responsibility or practice, including considerations of the key elements of the multiple leadership philosophies that Compassionate Inverclyde embodies. It presents guiding principles for effective Board engagement and governance and the desired qualities for a Compassionate Community leader. POLICY IN ACTION Some readers will be interested in what Compassionate Inverclyde tells us about the current Scottish policy context. Although it is important to emphasise that Compassionate Inverclyde was not, and is not policy-driven, this section considers the parallels between Compassionate Inverclyde’s community-derived ambitions and Scotland’s national purpose and values. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Provides information about how the practical ideas for kindness and compassionate citizenship taken forward by Compassionate Inverclyde were generated.
