Executive Summary 1.1 This is the fifth biennial report on the activities of the Shetland Adult Protection Committee. There have been successes and improvements throughout the two-year period this report covers. These successes and improvements are: Continued focus on training and awareness raising Development of Scambusters in partnership with Police Scotland and Trading Standards to raise awareness of financial harm Using Community Engagement methods to improve interactive sessions with service users Conducting a comprehensive Case Review in 2017 A Professionals Conference organised by the Adult Protection Committee in November 2016 Support of Chief Officers – Continued close working with Chief Officers Group. Challenges faced throughout the year included:- Financial constraints Perceived lack of “buy in” by Scottish Government Lead Officer having to chair both child and adult protection case conferences, thus reducing dedicated time to both committees It has been hard to physically engage with both the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and the Scottish Ambulance Service. Both are members of the Adult Protection Committee and receive papers, but do not attend meetings. Efforts will continue to be undertaken in this regard. 3 2. Introduction 2.1 This is the fifth Report of the activities of Shetland Adult Protection Committee. It will also be the last report I write as I will be standing down as Convener in August 2018. The report follows the guidance issued by the Scottish Government after discussions that took place at the National Convener’s meeting held on 14 February 2018 and is presented under Section 46 of the Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) Act 2007. All previous reports have been sent to the Scottish Government and partner agencies. Reports have also been published on our website (www.safershetland.com). This report will be published in the same way. Membership of Shetland Adult Protection Committees is inter-agency, and we currently have representation on the Adult Protection Committee (including the Quality Assurance and Training Sub Groups) from; Police Scotland, Shetland Islands Council Chief Social Work Officer, Shetland Islands Council Training Manager, Shetland Islands Council Legal Services, Voluntary Action Shetland, Shetland Islands Council Senior Housing Officer, Shetland Islands Council/ NHS Shetland Director of Community Health and Social Care, NHS Shetland Director of Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professionals, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Director of Medical Services. Shetland’s Contact Manager from the Care Inspectorate also attends meetings when they are in Shetland, as does the Link Inspector. Scottish Fire and Rescue Service are not able to send a representative to every Adult Protection Committee meeting, but attend when possible and receive papers and minutes, as does the Ambulance Service. The Committee meets 4 times a year as does the Quality Assurance Sub Committee. The Adult Protection Committee has recently revised its constitution to reflect the changes brought about by integration and changes to the Chief Officer’s Group. The Adult Protection Committee also has the following Sub-Committees: Quality Assurance Sub Committee meeting quarterly A Training Sub-Committee which is a joint Committee with the Child Protection Committee, meeting 6 monthly Financial Institutions (including all banks, Citizens Advice Bureau, Trading Standards, Shetland Credit Union and The Post Office). This sub-committee meets twice a year, but more often if required. The Adult Protection Committee also acts as the Management Committee for Shetland’s Appropriate Adult Scheme. The Committee also receives information from the following committees: Protection in the Community Sub-Committee which has members from the Third Sector including; SIC Sports Development, Youth Work Services, Shetland Arts, Shetland Recreational Trust, Shetland Amenity Trust and Voluntary Action Shetland. Mobile Phone and Internet Safety Sub-Committee. This committee focuses on the online safety of children and young people, but support is also offered to staff working with adults with a learning disability as it was recognised that this group of adults could be at risk through social media and inappropriate use of the internet. 4 NHS Shetland reviewed the role and remit of the Adult Protection (Health) group and formed the Public Protection (Health) group which considers all areas of public protection. The group meets quarterly and is chaired by the Advanced Practitioner (Protection). Group membership is representative of all health professionals from acute and community services as well as the Lead Officer for Child and Adult Protection. At each meeting adult protection issues have a dedicated place on the agenda. The group ensures adult protection information is disseminated to all staff and is currently investigating how a bespoke training programme can be delivered. The Adult Protection Committee has support from the Lead Officer for Adult and Child Protection and Business Support Staff. As Convenor of the Adult Protection Committee I report quarterly to the Chief Officers Group. This is made up of Chief Executives of Shetland Islands Council, NHS Shetland and the Area Commander representing Police Scotland, Chief Social Work Officer and Director of Community Health and Social Care. In addition to the new constitution, the Quality Assurance Sub-Committee has also undergone a transformation. Attendance at and involvement in the QA Committee had decreased and following discussions at APC it was agreed to refocus and reinvigorate the Committee. The Sub-Committee is now well attended. Shetland APC has continued to benefit from the support and advice of the National Lead Officer, Paul Comley. In my opinion the role of National Leaf Officer is an invaluable one and a role that should be sustained by Scottish Government in the long term. 3. Appropriate Adult 3.1 The Appropriate Adult Service continues in Shetland and reports into the Adult Protection Committee. The role of Lead Officer for Appropriate Adults is undertaken by the Executive Manager for Criminal Justice who is a member of the Adult Protection Committee and is responsible for reporting on performance. The Lead Officer for Appropriate Adult arranges quarterly meetings for all Appropriate Adults, most of whom are employed to the Community Health and Social Care directorate of the Council. 3.2 Since 2014, Appropriate Adult Training was delivered to all existing 8 Appropriate Adults and we recruited 6 new Appropriate Adults all of who attended training on 21st and 22nd November 2017 provided by Stephen Heath. Appropriate Adults also attended mandatory Criminal Justice Act Training on the 12, 15th and 16th January, 14 Appropriate Adults were trained. 3.3 Requests by Police Scotland for an Appropriate Adult to support the interviewing of suspects or witnesses for 2016/17 and 2017/18 were as follows. The reason why the adult needed support is also noted. Reason for AA support 2016/17 2017/18 Mental Health 4 9 Learning Disability 9 5 Dementia 0 0 Acquired Brain Injury 0 0 Unknown 0 0 Other 1 1 Number of call outs 13* 15 5 Both “other” categories referred to Autism. *1 person in 2016/17 had 2 types of mental disorder recorded. 4. Business Plans Business plans in the covalent format for 2016/17 and 2017/18 are included in appendix 1 & 2 of this report. Business planning is conducted by the Convener assisted by the Lead Officer and Business Support Assistant and overseen and amended by Adult Protection Committee and Chief Officer Group at their quarterly meetings. Business plans are specific, measureable, achievable, realistic and time bound and focussed on local priorities. In the absence of new Scottish Government priorities in 2015, it was decided to continue with a focus on financial harm and service user involvement. More information is contained in section 10. Business objectives have, in the main, been achieved and the challenge for future business plans is to be more outcome focused – both in terms of the outcomes for adults subject to adult protection processes and for the learning and development of staff working with them. 5. Harm - Analysis of Referral Data – Shetland Referral Data Details of adult protection referrals received are recorded in appendix 5 for 2016/17 and 6 for 2017/18. Data has been submitted to the Scottish Government as requested for both financial years. As yet there is no national data published and therefore no opportunity to benchmark Shetland data with other areas

  • Records of Species and Subspecies Recorded in Scotland on up to 20 Occasions
    Records of species and subspecies recorded in Scotland on up to 20 occasions In 1993 SOC Council delegated to The Scottish Birds Records Committee (SBRC) responsibility for maintaining the Scottish List (list of all species and subspecies of wild birds recorded in Scotland). In turn, SBRC appointed a subcommittee to carry out this function. Current members are Dave Clugston, Ron Forrester, Angus Hogg, Bob McGowan Chris McInerny and Roger Riddington. In 1996, Peter Gordon and David Clugston, on behalf of SBRC, produced a list of records of species recorded in Scotland on up to 5 occasions (Gordon & Clugston 1996). Subsequently, SBRC decided to expand this list to include all acceptable records of species recorded on up to 20 occasions, and to incorporate subspecies with a similar number of records (Andrews & Naylor 2002). The last occasion that a complete list of records appeared in print was in The Birds of Scotland, which included all records up until 2004 (Forrester et al. 2007). During the period from 2002 until 2013, amendments and updates to the list of records appeared regularly as part of SBRC’s Scottish List Subcommittee’s reports in Scottish Birds. Since 2014 these records have appear on the SOC’s website, a significant advantage being that the entire list of all records for such species can be viewed together (Forrester 2014). The Scottish List Subcommittee are now updating the list annually. The current update includes records from the British Birds Rarities Committee’s Report on rare birds in Great Britain in 2015 (Hudson 2016) and SBRC’s Report on rare birds in Scotland, 2015 (McGowan & McInerny 2017).

  • The History of Language in Shetland
    Language in Shetland We don’t know much about Pre-300AD the people of Shetland or Before the Picts The history of their language. Pictish people carve symbols 300AD-800AD language in into stone and speak a ‘Celtic’ Picts language. Shetland Vikings occupy the isles and introduce ‘Norn’. They carve S1-3 800AD-1500AD symbols called ‘runes’ into Vikings stone. The Picts and their language are then wiped out by Vikings. Scotland rule gradually influences life on the islands. The Scottish language 1500AD onwards eventually becomes the Scots prominent language. The dialect Shetlanders Today speak with today contains Us!

  • Doreen J. Waugh
    Doreen J. Waugh In (and around) Scatness* Introduction Place-names are cultural artefacts which can be scrutinised by researchers, in much the same way that a structure emerging out of the ground at the Old Scatness archaeological dig can be examined, with the aim of extracting from the individual place-name some information about the people who first created it, the linguistic and cultural environment in which they used it and the changing historical environment in which it then survived throughout ensuing centuries. The basic task of the toponymist is 'to provide etymologies based on the collection and study of early spellings', as Margaret Gelling noted in her excellent study of Place-Names in the Landscape (Gelling 1984, 1-2). Archaeologists, historians and scholars in other disciplines can then use the material as a supportive, analytical tool. One Shetland historian, at least, would argue that 'Scholars of place-names should aim to do more than collect names (or celebrate the 'nation' which coined them). They should attempt to reconstruct, or at least probe into, the societies where the names came to life' (Smith 1995, 26). Toponymists and archaeologists may approach their raw material in different ways, but it has long been recognised that the two disciplines are complementary. For the toponymist, the existence of an archaeological site can confirm the appropriateness of a place-name and, if the site has been excavated and dated, can help towards identifying a date for the creation of the place-name, which is often otherwise very difficult to establish, particularly in places like Shetland where the early written record is limited in extent.

  • An Old Find from Shetland Re-Interpreted | 119 Doi
    Proc Soc AntiqANOTHER Scot 147 PICTISH (2017), 119–126 CROSS-OF-ARCS: AN OLD FIND FROM SHETLAND RE-INTERPRETED | 119 DOI: https://doi.org/10.9750/PSAS.147.1238 Another Pictish cross-of-arcs: an old find from Shetland re-interpreted Anna Ritchie1 ABSTRACT A fragment of carved stone known as ‘Lerwick’ (NMS X.IB.19) is argued to have come, most probably, from the Pictish levels at Jarlshof, Dunrossness, Shetland, sometime before June 1861. The stone bears part of a Pictish crescent symbol on one side and part of a cross-of-arcs embellished with decorated lentoid forms on the other. The symbol-bearing cross-slab from which the fragment comes probably dates to the 7th century and may have stood in or near a churchyard at Jarlshof. It is compared with the cross-slabs from Papil and Bressay and with fragments of similar Shetland stones, and its place in the development of the cross-of-arcs is discussed. In the collections of National Museums Scotland extant. At the time of the sale in 1882, Alexander is a small fragment of a Pictish carved stone for Cunningham Hay wrote to John Alexander Smith which the given provenance is simply ‘Lerwick at the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland: ‘We Museum’. This was a museum in the Tolbooth have tried all means to recover the Catalogue in Lerwick and it belonged to the Shetland of the Museum but without success’ (National Literary and Scientific Society, founded in Museums Scotland Research Centre, NMS SAS 1861 to ‘promote the formation of a Museum UC 85/9, 30 October 1882).
