The service provides support to adults affected by mental illness who are between the ages of 16 and 65. The outreach service is provided across Dumfries & Galloway in the Stewartry, Wigtownshire, Nithsdale and Annandale & Eskdale Districts. The service aims to improve the wellbeing and quality of life of those affected by schizophrenia and other mental illness by providing a broad range of help and support. This includes support with practical tasks/life skills and help to maintain a tenancy. This service was first registered with the Care Commission on 1 April 2006. Basis of Report This service was inspected after a Regulation Support Assessment (RSA) was carried out to determine what level of support was necessary. The RSA is an assessment undertaken by the Care Commission Officer which considers: complaints activity, changes in the provision of the service, nature of notifications made to the Care Commission by the service, action taken upon requirement etc. The service was required to have a low level of support that resulted in an inspection based on the national inspection themes and any recommendations and requirements from previous inspections, complaint or other regulatory activity. This inspection included a visit to organisations headquarters on 30 May 2006 by Care Commission to audit safer recruitment policies, procedures and practices. Before this inspection visit: The service was requested to complete an annual return, a self evaluation and answer questions in relation to the national inspection themes for 2006/07. Electronic copies of the Annual Return and the Self-Evaluation were returned to the Care Commission. The Care Commission Officer wrote to the manager telling them when the inspection would take place. During the inspection which took place between 10 October 2006 and 27 November 2006, the Care Commission Officer spoke with: - The Regional Manager - The Deputy Manager Questionnaires were sent to service users and staff inviting them to take part in the inspection; the following were returned: - 3 Service User questionnaires - 6 Staff Questionnaires The Care Commission Officers also looked at some policies, procedures and records including the following: - Recruitment & Selection Policies. - Staff Personnel Files. - The Services Introductory Pack. The Care Commission Officer took all of the above into account and reported on whether the 3/7 service was meeting with some elements of the following National Care Standards, Housing Support Services: Standard 2: Your Legal Rights. Standard 3: Management and Staffing. Standard 4: Housing Support Planning. Standard 6: Choice and Communication. The inspection focussed on the following theme: Safer Recruitment. Action taken on requirements in last Inspection Report One requirement was identified in the previous inspection report dated 14 December 2006. This requirement had been addressed by the organisation centrally prior to this inspection. Comments on Self-Evaluation The manager of the service completed an on-line self-evaluation document prior to the inspection of the service. In this document the manager described where they felt the organisation had strengths in meeting with the National Care Standards whilst identifying ongoing areas of development. The self-evaluation document also outlined what progress had been made in meeting with the requirements of the Scottish Social Services council Code of Practice for Employers. All staff had been issued with a personal copy of the SSSC Codes of Practice. View of Service Users The views of 3 service users were obtained through questionnaires. Overall there was a poor response with a total of 20 questionnaires being issued. All 3 service users that responded stated that they were satisfied with the service that they received they also felt that staff treated them in a polite and respectful manner; they also stated that they had satisfactory skills and knowledge to meet their needs. All were happy that they received the care and support that had been agreed and confirmed that they had a support plan in place. Comments from service users included: “The service is excellent” “Staff are always professional etc, but are also friendly and caring” “I feel the staff have exactly the right skills to meet my needs” “I cannot speak too highly of the service provided by NSF” View of Carers No feedback was received from the relatives or friends of service users during this inspection. 4/7 Regulations / Principles Regulation : Strengths Areas for Development National Care Standards National Care Standard Number 2: Housing Support Services - Your Legal Rights Strengths Not all elements of this standard were examined during this inspection; the areas looked at related to the recommendations of the inspection report dated 14 December 2005.

Safe Recruitment – In general this service was found to perform well in relation to the National Care Standards – Management and Staffing Arrangements. An audit of the organisations safer recruitment policies, procedures and practices was carried out by the Care Commission on 30th May 2006 and were found to be satisfactory. Areas for Development The following areas for development were identified during the audit: The provider does not currently have a system in place for regular rechecking of Enhanced 5/7 Disclosure (Scotland) checks. The provider should consider introducing a system of rechecking enhanced Disclosures as a matter of good practice. While the organisation demonstrated good practice in relation to the safe recruitment of staff, there were some examples of where procedures had not been rigorously followed. These examples related to the absence of two written references, however were historical. On discussion it was agreed that as there would be no benefit to retrospective references, the focus would be on ensuring future good practice.

  • The Mccords of Skaith, Wigtownshire
    The McCords of Skaith, Wigtownshire Alan Milliken, Scotland George F. Black, in his book Surnames of Scotland, offers an interesting explanation for the origin of the surname McCord in Scotland. He says it is an old surname in the parish of Ballantrae and cites Paterson’s History of Ayrshire as his source. Paterson, however, offers no examples to illustrate its antiquity in the parish1. From the earliest parish church records, which date from 1731, the names of a number of McCords appear in the baptismal, marriage and burial registers. On November 8, 1734, John McCord and Margaret McNilly both of the parish of Ballantrae gave up their names to be married before the Kirk Session and after the calling of banns three Sabbaths, they were married on November 28, 1734. Over the next ten years, John McCord and Margaret McNilly had at least six children2. 1. Thomas McCord bapt., February 12, 1736. 2. John McCord bapt., February 22, 1738. 3. Agnes McCord bapt., March 2, 1740. 4. Jean McCord bapt., June 23, 1742. 5. Unnamed child bapt., either June 12, 1745, or July 12, 1746. 6. Unnamed child bapt., May 30, 1749. They lived for a time in the little hamlet of Carlefin, which is located south of the village of Ballantrae across the river Stinchar. It is very possible John McCord was either the son or grandson of another John McCord, who lived at Little Bennan to the north of Ballantrae in the parish of Colmonell. According to the 1691 Hearth Tax of Colmonell, John was liable for the one-off tax payment of 14 shillings at Candlemas (February 2nd)3.

It has involved the examination, calendaring and indexing of all documents prior to the year 1600 of the following collections presently lodged in the Register House: Charters of the Earl of Galloway, Lochnaw (Agnew) Charters, Logan (McDowell) Charters, and Barnbarroch (Vaus) Charters; in addition to the following collections, still in private hands, Mochrum Park (Dunbar) Charters, Myrton (McCulloch) Charters, Monreith (Maxwell) Charters, the Craichlaw and Shennanton Papers, and the Cardoness and Kirkconnell Charters, as well as much unpublished material in the Scottish Record Office. I have to express my thanks to the owners and custodians for giving me the necessary access and facilities. In the presentation and editing of these documents I have received ready assistance from many quarters, but I would fail in my duty if I did not mention especially Mrs. A. I. Dunlop, LL.D., and Dr. Gordon Donaldson, who have ungrudgingly drawn on their wide experience as archivists, and Mr. Athol Murray, LL.B., of the Scottish Record Office, who has called my attention to documents and entries in the public records and even undertaken a search of the Registers of the Archbishops of York.
