WHAN Publication Final Printer
The Working in Health Access Network Interim Report and Discussion Paper January 2009 Foreword The Working in Health Access Network (WHAN) exists to increase interest in a career in health amongst school pupils. The focus of WHAN is to increase their aspirations and provide information concerning courses in healthcare in both universities and colleges - as well as introducing them to a wide range of exciting options for the future. The National Health Service (NHS) is the largest employer in the country and is central to the well being of the economy at large. At the heart of any strong and confident organisation is a knowledgeable, professional and motivated workforce. WHAN works directly with the next generation of health workers to ensure that the health sector is staffed by committed individuals with the skills required to help make Scotland a healthier, stronger, fairer, smarter and wealthier place in which to live, study and work. This report portrays the development of the WHAN network so far. It also raises questions and challenges for the future. As the current phase of WHAN continues until this July, the complete statistical analysis is not yet available. Nevertheless, there is considerable creativity, innovation and success in WHAN school and college activities. This report is an introduction to these activities; more detailed outcomes will be available from the middle of 2009. The project has forged a successful partnership. It grew out of the Working in Health Access Programme (WHAP) that was aimed particularly at medicine and veterinary medicine. The need to diversify to other health professions became apparent in order to fulfil the aspirations of young people, to provide realistic ambitions for them and, also, to be more cost effective.

SPTC Mission and Values
SPTC Mission and Values SPTC’s mission is to support the development and maintenance of high quality parental involvement. We will achieve this by: • sustaining SPTC as a robust, parent-led, independent membership organisation with a focus on research and evidence-based development. • working with parents and carers to build their confidence, knowledge and skills so they feel able to engage in the way they wish, with their child’s school and wider education services. • working in partnership with organisations and individuals in the educational and wider Scottish community, to build awareness of and engagement with parental involvement and its benefits for children, families and communities. Our Values • We are a membership organisation committed to treating all members and stakeholders with respect, honesty and integrity. • The Directors and staff work tirelessly and passionately to create productive, creative partnerships which support positive educational outcomes for all young people. • We engage with our employees respectfully and flexibly, supporting their learning and progression and encouraging their enthusiastic involvement in the development of the organisation. • We support parents and carers to be involved in the way that is right for them: with their own child’s learning; the local school; local authority or at national policy level. • We are committed to equality and dignity for all parents, carers and children. • We utilise evidence and research to advance our work and to support policy and practice. 1 Convener’s Report – Jeanna Brady Reflections on SPTC’s 67th Year Welcome to our annual report on the activities of SPTC during the organisation’s 67th year. While some might consider that the grande dame of parental involvement in Scottish schools should perhaps be slowing down a little, the very opposite is in fact true.
