  • Arts and Cultural Learning
    Arts and Cultural Learning Learning from the Cultural Co-ordinators in Scottish Schools programme Key findings from the Cultural Co-ordinators in Scottish Schools programme monitoring report 10 local authorities have already made a commitment to support the continuation of the work of the Cultural Co-ordinator programme beyond the end of central government funding in 2010 16 Cultural Co-ordinator manager posts were mainstreamed into local authorities by 2008/09. On average there are 2.3 full time equivalent (FTE) Cultural Co-ordinator posts per local authority throughout Scotland © 2009 Scottish Arts Council No part of this publication may be reproduced in any format without prior written permission of the Scottish Arts Council. Equal opportunities The Scottish Arts Council operates an equal opportunities policy. Our offices have disabled access. Certain publications can be made available in Gaelic, in large print, Braille or audio format. Typetalk please prefix number with 18001 Introduction As the Cultural Co-ordinators in Scottish Schools programme reaches its final year of central funding, there is much to be learnt from the experiences to date. Since 2002 the Cultural Co-ordinators in Scottish Schools programme (CCiSS) has provided a mechanism for all local authorities in Scotland to deliver rich cultural experiences to children and young people. The CCiSS programme has been funded by the Scottish Government in partnership with local authorities and is managed by the Scottish Arts Council. There are now Cultural Co-ordinators in all 32 local authorities and over 100 postholders throughout the country working to ensure that the young people in their areas have access to high quality, engaging arts and cultural experiences that will enrich their lives and learning.

    Cairngorms National Park Business Support Audit 2010 User Guide This document, available from the Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) in hard copy or on its website (www.cairngorms.co.uk), updates an audit produced in April 2009. The new Audit documents the business support services and environmental planning support that are available to businesses and third sector organisations within the Park. The information is presented by Local Authority area except where support services are available across the Park as a whole. Most of the support services are also available outwith the Park, and this Guide should also be more widely useful to business advisers (e.g. the new Business Gateways), businesses and groups. The Audit is structured as follows: Section 1 : The Cairngorms National Park Area as a whole Section 2 : Highland Section 3 : Moray Section 4 : Aberdeenshire Section 5 : Angus Section 7 : Principal Web Links Web links are also provided throughout the Audit for more detail or up-to-date information on the different sources of business support that are summarised. The information in this Audit has been checked for accuracy as at June 2010, but schemes of assistance evolve or expire, and new programmes are introduced regularly by the main support agencies, while new initiatives from a range of sources will also be introduced as the year progresses, e.g. as a result of successful applications to EU Programmes. The programmes that are covered in this Audit are: Section 1 : The Park as a Whole Business Gateway – advice and information for new and existing businesses, often a business’s first point of contact (2.1-2.10).
