EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES a Report on School-College Partnership Programmes in Scotland
EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES A report on school-college partnership programmes in Scotland EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES Context for publication of this report This is a report by HMIE for the Scottish Further and Higher Education Funding Council (SFC). The 2004-08 Memorandum of Understanding between HMIE and SFC, and successive annual service level agreements under that memorandum commit the two organisations to cooperate fully to secure and promote the quality of education provision in Scotland’s colleges and to work in partnership to promote continuous quality improvement and enhancement across the college sector. HMIE’s work as part of this partnership is wide ranging and includes: • the completion of external reviews of colleges, publication of these review reports, and additional actions specified by SFC where it has concerns about the quality of provision in a college; • briefings for SFC on matters of strategic interest, and professional advice on other matters relating to educational provision in Scotland’s colleges; • delivery of quality enhancement activities for college staff as specified by SFC, for example activities relating to the dissemination of sector-leading and innovative practice identified in review reports; and • preparation of reports for SFC on the current position in relation to specified aspects of college provision. This report is one in the final category above. It has been prepared by HMIE as part of the 2007-08 service level agreement with SFC. Because of its relevance to schools and education authorities as well as colleges, it is being distributed much more widely than most other reports in the series. EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES | 3 FOREWORD We have called this report Expanding Opportunities because for many young people, involvement in school-college programmes aims to help them to do just that, by allowing them greater choice in the subjects they can undertake at school and by involving them in different approaches to learning. -

Executive Summary The South Sector provides a range of Community and Hospital based mental health services to a population of 382 thousand people in South Glasgow. In the last year we have been referred over 5000 patients to our community services and have cared for 1,480 patients admitted to our in-patient services. As a Sector Team, we have continued to modernise and develop our services while seeking to deliver these within a challenging financial framework. Of particular significance this year was the extensive refurbishment of Florence Street Resource Centre which is due for completion in September 04 and promises to provide a spacious and modern environment for both staff and patients attending the service. Our thanks go to all of the staff who have worked long and hard over the last year to ensure that we continue to provide an excellent service to our clients and carers. Their contribution is captured in the reports from each of the wards and departments attached to this Sector Report. 2 Description Of Services 2.1 Demography of South Glasgow South Glasgow has a total population of around 382 thousand people. -

SFC Evaluation Report on the Merger to Form Glasgow Clyde College
College Post-Merger Evaluation Report June 2016 GLASGOW CLYDE COLLEGE 1 SFC post-merger evaluation of the college mergers that took place during the academic year 2013-14 In autumn 2015 the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) began a round of post-merger evaluations of the colleges that merged in the academic year 2013-14. In most cases these evaluations are scheduled to take place two years after the merger. We are making the outcome of the evaluations available on the SFC website. The first two evaluations were completed in January 2016 and the final evaluation within this tranche of mergers will be June 2016. As new reports are completed they are added to the website. SFC wrote to the colleges concerned in July 2015 to explain how SFC would carry out the evaluations and what was expected from the colleges. We noted that in carrying out the evaluations across the sector SFC would pay particular attention to the Audit Scotland Good Practice Guide: Learning the lessons of public body mergers. Colleges are responsible for the implementation of their merger and need to be able to demonstrate the delivery of benefits and performance improvements for all stakeholders including students, staff and employers as outlined in their original merger proposals. The purpose of the merger evaluation is to provide evidence of progress in delivering the intended high level benefits of the merger and to identify lessons learned that support further organisational development and wider learning for the sector. SFC recognises that good governance and leadership and a culture that is supportive of change and innovation within the merged college are also critical elements in delivering a successful merger. -

Student Accommodation Guide
Student Accommodation Guide There are a range of accommodation types available to students. The most common types are university owned accommodation, privately owned halls of residence and private renting. If you are leaving home to study at university you will normally stay within a halls of residence for your first year then move to a privately rented flat for the remaining years of your course. Halls of residence can be owned by a university or privately and can be quite expensive at between £50 - £80 per week for self catering and up to £180 per week for catered accommodation. However they can be a good stepping stone from the family home to independent living as many facilities are often included in your rent such as meals, laundry facilities, internet access etc. Halls of residence also provide you with the opportunity to meet new friends and be around other students. For more information on halls of residence see the contact details of each university below. More information on private halls of residence can be found at: www.accommodationforstudents.com For more information on your rights whilst staying in student accommodation follow the link below. http://scotland.shelter.org.uk/getadvice/advice_topics/renting_rights/your_right s_in_student_accommodation Many students prefer to rent privately as it can be cheaper and offer a greater degree of independence than halls of residence. For students at college this is also a more accessible option as most colleges do not own student accommodation. For more information on private renting near your university or college, please see the contact details of all Scottish university and college accommodation offices, below. -
Background to Rationalisation of Further Education in Scotland As a Response to the Economic Downturn, the Scottish Government H
Item 3 16 June 2014 Background to rationalisation of Further Education in Scotland As a response to the economic downturn, the Scottish Government has undertaken a rationalisation of Scotland’s further education sector, reducing 43 colleges to 13 regional structures, some of which contain more than one college – known as multi- college regions. The aim is to reduce duplication of provision, ensuring that programmes of learning are tailored to match the needs of local employers and contribute to the growth of the Scottish economy. The Scottish Government wants a strong regional grouping of colleges who act strategically to improve the skills in their area and across Scotland as a whole. It is expected that regional colleges will identify the needs of learners and employers in their region. Colleges will plan provision with partners and allocate resources across their region for the delivery of high quality learning. Colleges have to ensure that there is a reasonable range of provision available locally to all communities across their region The Outcome of Rationalisation: Glasgow multi-college region Glasgow has been deemed a multi-college region where, seven colleges have been reduced to three through the process of merger. Glasgow Clyde College: established in August 2013 through the merger of three colleges: Anniesland College, Cardonald College and Langside College Glasgow Kelvin College.: established in November 2013 through the merger of three colleges: John Wheatley College, North Glasgow College and Stow College The City of Glasgow College is the third college in the Glasgow Region Regional Strategic Board In August 2014, a new legally constituted Regional Strategic Board will take responsibility for college delivery in Glasgow. -

Introduction to Using Archives
An Introduction to Using Archives Archives are records created as part of everyday activities which have been kept for their long-term usefulness. They can be in any format, including paper, digital, and audio-visual. To find out about GSA’s archive holdings see our website at: http://www.gsa.ac.uk/archives Finding archive collections: Many archive collections are held in local record offices and university archive services. Other archive collections are held by businesses and individuals; this material can be harder to locate and may not be available for researchers to access. You can search for records held by The National Archives and by other public archive repositories in the UK using the main search box on The National Archives Discovery website: http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ You can search for an archive repository in the UK using the “Find an archive” search box on The National Archives Discovery website: http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ Using archive collections: Archive materials can be accessed on a reference-only basis and you will usually need to make an appointment before visiting a repository. As archives are often unique and/or fragile, most repositories will ask you to follow certain procedures to ensure the material isn’t damaged. These include: handling material carefully, using a pencil to take notes, not eating or drinking, and asking permission before taking photographs. The Archives Hub website provides useful guidance for researchers who are new to using archives: http://www.archiveshub.ac.uk/guides/usingarchives/ The Glasgow School of Art’s Infosmart online resource provides guidance on undertaking research in general. -
