We want to ensure they have the best start in life, are ready to succeed and live longer, healthier lives. We check services are meeting the principles of Getting it Right For Every Child (also known as GIRFEC). Set up by Scottish Government, GIRFEC is a national approach to working in a consistent way with all children and young people.

The approach helps services focus on what makes a positive difference for children and young people - and what they can do to improve. Getting it Right for Every Child is being woven into all policy, practice, strategy and legislation that affect children, young people and their families. There are eight wellbeing indicators at the heart of Getting it Right for Every Child. They are: safe; healthy; achieving; nurtured; active; respected; responsible; and included. They are often referred to as the SHANARRI indicators. We use these indicators at inspection, to assess how services are making a positive difference for children. This service was registered with the Care Inspectorate in July 2013. Girdle Toll Out of School Care (Ardeer) is based in purpose built accommodation within Ardeer Neighbourhood Centre in the Ardeer area of Stevenston in North Ayrshire.

Understanding Scottish Places Summary This report presents a summary of the Your Town Audit (YTA) for Stevenston, conducted by Scotland’s Towns Partnership and EKOS. The detailed YTA Framework and Data Workbook are provided under separate cover. The YTA was developed to provide a framework to measure and monitor the performance of Scotland’s towns and town centres using a series of Key Performance Indicators. It provides a comprehensive audit of Stevenston with data on up to 180 KPIs across seven themes – Locality, Accessibility, Local Services, Activities + Events, Development Capacity, Tourism, and Place + Quality Impressions. The Understanding Scottish Places (USP) data platform provides a summary analysis for Largs and identifies eight comparator towns that have similar characteristics, with the most similar being Auchinleck, Denny, Maybole, and Alness.1 The USP platform – www.usp.scot – describes Saltcoats in the following general terms: Stevenston’s Interrelationships: an ‘interdependent to independent town’, which means it has a good number of assets in relation to its population. Towns of this kind have some diversity of jobs; and residents travel a mix of short and long distances to travel to work and study.

  • Stevenston Masterplan (Draft)
    Stevenston Masterplan (draft) The outline plans presented in this document crystallise the community’s aspirations for Stevenston, as revealed through various public consultations conducted over the past 10 years by Irvine Bay URC, North Ayrshire Council (i.e. the Three Towns Charrette) and community groups. The plans recognise Stevenson’s green spaces, especially its coastline, as its most important asset. The town’s green spaces should be protected from built development and improved to increase their amenity, environmental and economic value. Central to the urban realm developments in the town should be the regeneration of the town centre. There should be no tinkering around the edges: the town centre requires radical structural redevelopment, along with regeneration of its derelict sites, in order to become vibrant, attractive and highly functioning. Importantly, Stevenston should be marketed appropriately, so that potential visitors are aware of the town’s attractions. Masterplan summary: 1. Regenerate the town centre • Make radical structural changes to the basic built fabric of the town centre, knocking down and rebuilding as required to create an inviting civic space and retail offer. In conjunction with this, the town centre should be made more attractive by improving the shop fronts and open spaces, and better maintaining the flower beds. The town centre requires a significant structural reorganisation. 2. Improve town centre parking • Provide enough car parking to satisfy the needs of visitors to the town centre. 3. Develop derelict buildings and gap sites • Develop the derelict buildings and concrete footprints in urban Stevenston. These include: o the former Rankin’s pub o the site of the former Lonsdale/Grangeknowe pub o Africa House o the site of the former Ardeer Primary School in Garven Road Derelict sites such as Africa House need to be regenerated.
