What Is the Community Risk Register ARGYLL AND BUTE COMMUNITY RISK REGISTER OCTOBER 2013 Version 7 - Page 1 FOREWORD The Strathclyde Emergencies Co-ordination Group (SECG) is the Strategic Co- ordinating Group (SCG) for Strathclyde as defined in the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 and is formed from those agencies having primary responsibilities to provide a response to any major incident or disaster within the Strathclyde area. The existence of the group is an acknowledgement that no single agency has all the skills and resources that may be needed to deal with a major incident and only by combining and co-ordinating can the best response be delivered. The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 places a legal duty on Category 1 Responders within the Strategic Co-ordinating Group to co-operate with each other to compile a Community Risk Register. This register has been created to provide public information about the hazards that exist within the Strathclyde area and the control measures in place to mitigate their impact. This document sets out the hazards that exist in the Argyll and Bute Local Working Group area and the control measures in place to mitigate their impact. These hazards do not represent forecasts or predictions relating to particular incidents or sites but rather indicate the scale of potential problems relating to that type of hazard and for which relevant services and agencies may be expected to plan.

The area covers 690,899 hectares mainly rural with many islands off the West coast. The risks identified, connected to hazardous sites in the Argyll and Bute area are mainly linked to HM Naval Base, Clyde; Oil Fuel Depots at Garelochhead, Loch Striven and Campbeltown; Finnart Ocean Terminal; Defence Munitions, Glen Douglas; and RNAD Coulport. There are also a number of small airports at Oban and Campbeltown and on the islands of Coll, Colonsay, Tiree and Islay, there is also has a large agricultural and tourist industry across the Council area. Strathclyde Emergencies Co-ordination Group Strathclyde Emergencies Co-ordination Group was formed in 1987 by those agencies, which have primary responsibility to provide a response to any major incident or disaster. In the course of their normal business, partners in the SECG share common ground: - Each is involved in the delivery of essential services to the Public Each serves, cares for and / or protects Each recognises that in the event of a major incident or disaster occurring there will be disruption to normal daily life and they have a public duty to provide a prompt and effective response to minimise the effects of the incident Each acknowledges that no single agency has all the necessary skills and resources required to deal with a major incident and only by combining these services can the best response be delivered The SECG’s strategy implements the philosophy of ‘Integrated Emergency Management’. This concentrates on the effects rather than the causes of disaster. The emergency services, local authorities, NHS Boards and public utilities, that comprise the SECG, recognise the benefits of a co-ordinated multi- agency approach which maximises their individual and collective responses thereby minimising the impact of any incident. The Purpose of the Community Risk Registers The Argyll and Bute Community Risk Register has been compiled by the SECG Argyll and Bute Local Working Group in accordance with the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (CCA) and its associated Regulations and Guidance as outlined in the Scottish Government document Preparing Scotland (2006) Version 7 - Page 4 www.scotland.gov.uk/publications/2006/02/27140215 and as detailed in the UK Resilience website on www.ukresilience.gov.uk. An ‘Emergency’ is defined in the CCA as ‘an event or situation which threatens serious damage to human welfare in a place in the UK, the environment of a place in the UK, or war or terrorism which threatens serious damage to the security of the UK’. The Community Risk Register (CRR) is intended to inform the combined communities of all SECG member organisations of a range of potentially disruptive events that the responder agencies have considered and to confirm the state of preparedness to deal with the occurrence of such emergencies ensuring a swift return to normality. The CRR will provide a basis for the responder agencies to develop, implement and confirm emergency plans, to meet the requirements of the SECG. The inclusion of a particular risk in the Community Risk Register does not necessarily indicate that the Argyll and Bute Local Working Group expect that the risk will lead to an actual event or occurrence, or occur at the scale described. The Risk Assessments have been made on credible worst case scenarios applied to identified hazards or threats that are present within the Argyll and Bute area. How the CRR has been compiled The areas of potential risk based on national guidance have been reviewed by the SECG and are listed in the register. Certain risk categories from the national guidance were not relevant to the Argyll and Bute area therefore excluded from this risk register. Likewise the SECG Argyll and Bute Local Working Group identified additional risks for inclusion therefore the numbering is inconsistent with the national guidance. An assessment has been made of the Likelihood and Impact of an event occurring using historical and empirical evidence and projected occurrence data over a five year period, to give a Risk Rating. Control Measures in Place Within the Argyll and Bute area there are a number of site specific and generic plans prepared to cover areas that have been identified as a risk under legislation such as the Control of Major Accident Hazard Regulations 1999 (COMAH Regs), the Radiation Emergency Preparedness and Public Information Regulations 2001 (REPPIR) and Pipeline Safety Regulations 1996 (PSR), or from lessons learned from operational experiences. For the purpose of the column entitled “Controls in Place”, these plans are referred to as “Existing SECG Plans”. In addition to the above plans, individual Category 1 and 2 Responders have their own generic response procedures which may be used. These are referred to as “Responder Generic Emergency Procedures”. Version 7 - Page 5 Risk Assessment is not a static process and is subject to constant review. The information contained within this document will, as a result, be regularly updated. Enquiries concerning the Community Risk Register should in the first instance be directed in writing to: - Civil Contingencies Manager Argyll and Bute Council 25 West King Street Helensburgh G48 8UW Version 7 - Page 6 RISK RATING MATRIX Catastrophic Colour Key 5 Significant Very High 4 MPACT Moderate High I 3 Minor Medium 2 RELATIVE Limited Low 1 Low Medium Low Medium Medium High High 1 2 3 4 5 RELATIVE LIKELIHOOD Version 7 - Page 7 The Community Risk Register categorises hazards into the following groups which are colour coded for ease of recognition.

  • Report for the Justice Committee, April 2018
    Report for the Justice Committee, April 2018 Background Strathclyde Mediation Clinic was founded in 2012 with the twin goals of enhancing students’ skills and providing a useful service to society. The university has always seen itself as the ‘place of useful learning’ so, when students on the Masters in Mediation and Conflict Resolution sought opportunities to develop their skills, a free service for local people was a perfect fit. The Clinic enables these postgraduates (with backgrounds in law, management, HR and other professions) to work alongside experienced ‘Lead’ mediators. Glasgow Sheriff Court invited the Clinic to offer small claims mediation from February 2014. Considerable work went into developing paperwork and systems.1 In the first year of the project the Clinic conducted 39 mediations; 31 resulted in settlement (79%) and in 94% of these the terms were fulfilled. Nearly all cases involved unrepresented parties on one or both sides. The Clinic continued to provide small claims mediation during 2015 and 2016, mediating 32 and 22 cases respectively, with settlement rates averaging 70% and compliance running at over 95%. Simple Procedure The publication of the new Simple Procedure rules in summer 2016 led to discussions with Sheriffs Principal in Glasgow and Strathkelvin and in North Strathclyde. They asked the Clinic to provide mediation to enable their courts to fulfil the numerous references in the rules to alternative dispute resolution (ADR). No information was provided by Scottish Courts and Tribunal Service (SCTS) or Scottish Government about how ADR might be made available. The rules allow sheriffs considerable discretion. Different courts planned to take different approaches, as set out below: • Glasgow: referral to mediation at First Written Orders (meaning parties do not attend court prior to the referral).

  • A Walk on the Beach at the Southern Tip of Rosneath Peninsula, Argyll & Bute
    A walk on the beach at the southern tip of Rosneath Peninsula, Argyll & Bute. The air, the water and the land, and sadly, the litter. Tam Ward. 2019. A tiny part of Scotland – with so much to offer. Rosneath Peninsula and Upper Clyde Estuary, The southern tip of Rosneath Peninsula Argyll & Bute 1 The sky was a bland but beautiful shade of pale blue interrupted only by occasional and ever changing clumps of fluffy topped white and grey clouds, constantly modifying themselves into slowly moving and ever changing shapes, of curly topped travellers heading to some unknown destination across the horizons. The airborne islands of pearly white seemed endless in their seemingly mysterious source as the continued their journey – appearing from somewhere – and disappearing to – another place. Gareloch Gareloch and Helensburgh The skyward scene is only occasionally interrupted by the apparently motiveless flight of a bird or flock of them, sometimes alone but on other occasions as a flight of well-meaning direction, especially at some specific spot on the beach where they will swoop down as if with a single mind, perhaps sensing a good spot for lunch, or just taking a chance on one. Further out, especially if the sea is flat, the expert divers of gannet, tern or cormorant will streak down and disappear in a little flash of sparkling water, to erupt again some distance away, and If they were lucky, as they usually are – with their beak held quarry. Now and then a frenzy of such activity by a gang of birds would indicate a hapless shoal of fish had been detected near the surface.

  • The Justice of the Peace Court (Sheriffdom Of
    Document Generated: 2020-09-21 Status: This is the original version (as it was originally made). This item of legislation is currently only available in its original format. EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Order) This Order makes various provision in relation to the establishment of a justice of the peace court (“JP court”) in the Sheriffdom of Glasgow and Strathkelvin. JP Courts are being established on a Sheriffdom by Sheriffdom basis and have already been established in Lothian and Borders and Grampian, Highland and Islands. Article 2 to the Order specifies that a JP court is to be established in the Sheriff Court District of Glasgow and Strathkelvin. That JP court is to take place in Glasgow. Article 3 disestablishes the district court (established under the District Courts (Scotland) Act 1975) in the Commission Area of Glasgow City Council. The jurisdiction of the District Courts of East Dunbartonshire and South Lanarkshire also extend into the Sheriffdom of Glasgow and Strathkelvin. This is because the boundaries of those commission areas overlap the boundary of the Sheriffdom of Glasgow and Strathkelvin. There are regular sittings of those district courts at Kirkintilloch and Rutherglen respectively which both fall within the Sheriffdom of Glasgow and Strathkelvin. The District Courts of East Dunbartonshire and South Lanarkshire are not disestablished by this Order because to do so would mean that there would be inadequate provision of lower tier summary criminal courts in the Sheriffdom of South Strathclyde, Dumfries and Galloway (which is currently served by the South Lanarkshire District Court in sittings at Hamilton, East Kilbride and Lanark and the district courts for other local authority areas within that Sheriffdom) and in the Sheriffdom of North Strathclyde (which is currently served by the East Dunbartonshire District Court in sitting at Milngavie and the district courts for other local authority areas within that Sheriffdom).
