Lenzie Meadow Nursery Lenzie Meadow Nursery Policy on Complaints It is clearly of paramount importance that the nursery should run smoothly and that parents and staff work together in a spirit of cooperation in the children’s best interests. In the event of complaints from either staff or parents every effort will be made to respond quickly and appropriately and the following procedure will be followed: If a parent feels that he/she has cause for complaint they should feel able to speak to any member of staff. This invitation is included bi-annually in the nursery newsletters. Where a complaint is made to staff, the Depute Head of Centre or Senior Early Years Worker should be informed immediately. Serious complaints must be reported to the Head Teacher. Formal written complaints will be responded to within 20 days. The Head Teacher will advise the parent/s of East Dunbartonshire’s Complaints Policy and procedures. The Depute Head of Centre and Head Teacher will respond to any complaint as quickly as possible. They will talk with staff and parents to overcome the problem. Complaints will be recorded and dated in the Complaints Book. After a complaint has been resolved the final outcome will be written in the Complaints Book. Any recommendations for changes in procedure will be made and noted. It is clearly understood that parents have the right to phone the Education Department after talking to the Head Teacher if they feel that they have not received a satisfactory response to their complaint. Complaints by a member of staff will be dealt with by the Head Teacher. Parents are made aware that they are entitled to take any complaints / concerns to: Chief Education Officer Care Inspectorate Jacqueline MacDonald Central West Region East Dunbartonshire Council 4th Floor Southbank House 1 Smith hills street Strathkelvin Place Paisley Kirkintilloch PA1 1EB G66 1XQ Tel: 0141 843 4230 Tel: 0141 578 8000 Or Reviewed November 2016 .

Glasgow Effect
Excess mortality in the Glasgow conurbation: exploring the existence of a Glasgow effect James Martin Reid MSci Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of PhD University of Glasgow Faculty of Medicine, Section of Public Health and Health Policy September 2008 ii Abstract Introduction There exists a ‘Scottish effect’, a residue of excess mortality that remains for Scotland relative to England and Wales after standardising for age, sex and local area deprivation status. This residue is largest for the most deprived segments of the Scottish population. Most Scottish areas that can be classified as deprived are located in West Central Scotland and, in particular, the City of Glasgow. Therefore the central aim of this thesis is to establish the existence of a similar ‘Glasgow effect’ and identify if the relationship between deprivation and all cause mortality is different in Glasgow to what is in other, comparable cities in the UK. Methods A method to compare the deprivation status of several UK cities was devised using the deprivation score first calculated by Carstairs and Morris. The population of mainland UK was broken into deciles according to the Carstairs score of Scottish postcode sectors and English wards. Deprivation profiles for particular cities were drawn according to the percentage of the local population that lived in each Carstairs decile. Using data from the three censuses since 1981, longitudinal trends in relative deprivation status for each city could be observed. Analysis of death rates in cities was also undertaken. Two methods were used to compare death rates in cities. Indirect standardisation was used to compare death rates adjusting for the categorical variables of age group, sex and Carstairs decile of postcode sector or ward of residence.

May 2016 Suzanne Burgess
May 2016 Suzanne Burgess Saving the small things that run the planet Summary The John Muir Way, opened in 2014, stretches 134 miles through nine local authority areas, including East Dunbartonshire. This B-lines project, the first in Scotland, has identified new opportunities for grassland habitat creation, enhancement and management along the route of the John Muir Way as it passes through East Dunbartonshire as well as 1.86 miles either side of this. Through this mapping exercise a number of sites have been identified including 25 schools and nurseries; 5 care homes; 21 places of worship and cemeteries; 2 historic landmarks and buildings; and 1 train station. Additionally, 4 golf courses (141.2 ha), 44 public parks and play spaces (116.88 ha) and one country park (251.74 ha) were identified and mapped. There are a number of sites within this project that have nature conservation designations, including 45 Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (2,999.3 ha), 2 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (36.57 ha) and 2 Local Nature Reserves (60.97 ha). A further 5 sites have previously been identified as having an Open Mosaic of Habitat on Previously Developed Land and cover a total area of 13.71 ha. By mapping new opportunities this will aid in the future development of projects that will provide real benefits to our declining populations of pollinating insects of bees, wasps, hoverflies and butterflies as well as other wildlife that these habitats support. 1 Contents Page Page Number 1.
