Latest research developments and publications will be recorded in the culture and sport research database that has been created by the Scottish Executive as a result of this Review, and which will shortly be made publicly available on-line. The Centre for Cultural Policy Research (CCPR) at Glasgow University will maintain and develop the database over the next 3 years, keeping it up to date and current for the benefit of central and local government, the non-departmental government bodies and agencies, and other organisations interested and involved in cultural or sport research. The CCPR will also encourage research establishments to send in details, for updating purposes, of robust new evidence in these areas. Many of the non-departmental government bodies will also have launched strategies and documents since publication of this Review, and therefore it has to be borne in mind that Annex I is contemporary with February 2004, and does not refer to latest developments or publications by these bodies. Cultural policy developments in government have also taken place since completion of this Review, and these include: • “Cultural Policy Statement”, published by the Scottish Executive in April 2004 – this document outlines the Executive’s policy and vision for culture in Scotland, which includes – “Establish Scotland as a vibrant, cosmopolitan, competitive country and an internationally recognised creative hub”; “.. the key values of access and excellence will be guiding principles”. The document also states the remit of the Cultural Commission which is undertaking the ongoing review of cultural provision in Scotland. The Commission will provide practical recommendations on how cultural policy is to be implemented. If legislation is required, a Culture Bill will be published by 2007. • “Culture at the Heart of Regeneration”, issued by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport in June 2004 – this consultation document by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport sets out the case for culture as “a driver of sustainable regeneration in England”. It seeks responses to questions on how to take the culture and regeneration agenda forward, with a delivery plan proposed for publication in early 2005. The Scottish Executive welcomes this consultation as an exercise that helpfully complements this Literature Review. Feedback from the consultation and the findings of the Review will helpfully inform the developing policy agenda and be of interest to the Cultural Commission. In Scotland, action will not come to an end following the publication of this Review. In addition to creating the database mentioned above, the Executive will seek to establish and engage research networks involving its cultural agencies, other government departments, and other interested parties. The aim will be to encourage collaboration between researchers, to plug gaps in evidence and thereby better inform future policy making in the areas of culture, the arts and sport. Steps to develop activity across Ministerial portfolios are in progress following Scotland’s First Minister, Jack McConnell’s speech on St Andrew’s Day 2003. The First Minister said, “Culture cuts across all portfolios of government, and it can make a difference to our success in each. …“This is about how Ministers use arts and culture to achieve more effectively their policy objectives. … “I want to see imaginative and new proposals coming forward from all Ministers that help create access to cultural activity.” A positive range of initiatives is emerging in response to that call; again, the findings of this Review will help inform content and delivery.

    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).
