Public Policies: Barry Winetrobe ISBN: 1 903903 09 2 Introduction James Mitchell The policy agenda for the last quarter in Scotland was distinct from that south of the border while there was some overlap. Matters such as identity cards and foundation hospitals are figuring prominently north of the border though long-running issues concerned with health and law and order were important. In health, differences exist at policy level but also in terms of rhetoric – with the Health Minister refusing to refer to patients as ‘customers’. This suggests divergence without major disputes in devolutionary politics. An issue which has caused problems across Britain and was of significance this quarter was the provision of accommodation for asylum seekers as well as the education of the children of asylum seekers. Though asylum is a retained matter, the issue has devolutionary dimension as education is a devolved matter. The other significant event was the challenge to John Swinney’s leadership of the Scottish National Party. A relatively unknown party activist challenged Swinney resulting in a drawn-out campaign over the Summer which culminated in a massive victory for Swinney at the SNP’s annual conference.

    PATRICIA MCCAFFERTY WORKING THE 'THIRD WAY': NEW LABOUR, EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS, AND SCOTTISH DEVOLUTION THESIS PRESENTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY, DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW MAY 2004 © PATRICIA M`CAFFERTY, MAY 2004. ABSTRACT Labour's election victory in 1997 was heralded as a new era, the dawn of a Third Way, a novel attempt to chart a unique political course overcoming the perceivedlimitations of both New Right and Old Labour. In this thesis I explore the era of New Labour generally and, in particular, the impact of the Third Way on working lives. Key to my analysis is New Labour's attempt to synthesise oppositional interests,in particular those of capital and labour. This involves a crucial rhetoric of flexibility, competitivenessand partnership. My research explores the rhetoric of New Labour in relation to the reality of this new force in power. It does this by: " drawing out key features in the development of New Labour, especially its relation to Old Labour; " examining central elementsof New Labour ideology; " arguing that Scotland should be seen as central to the transition from Old to New :Labour; " utilising a case study of industrial relations developments in a major electronics factory in the West of Scotland and, to a lesser extent, key developmentsin public sector employment. My main finding is that where New Labour's ideology promisespositive benefits, the form of its implementation has negative impacts for workers. Since I take New Labour as a process, my thesis concludes with a more speculative exploration of possible future developments,both in relations to New Labour's role in them, and their possible impact on the New Labour project.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • HMICS Effective Practice Submission
    HMICS Effective Practice submission Title Strathclyde Police and Grampian Police Body Worn Video Force Details CI John Laing, Strathclyde Police, CI Nick Topping, Grampian Police What was the problem / Targeting violence and anti-social behaviour is a national operational priority of the issue Scottish Policing Assessment 2011/15 which contributes to the Scottish Government National Outcome “we live our lives safe from crime disorder and danger. It is also a force and local policing priority which features in local authority single outcome agreements and community planning partnership strategies. Renfrewshire was chosen for this initiative as it has a particularly high level of violence and anti-social behaviour and has a number areas of deprivation including Ferguslie Park (ranked 2 in the SIMD 2009) . Its geography also includes rural areas that are not served by fixed site cctv systems and a number of cycle tracks where mobile cctv is ineffective. Northfield/Mastrick in Grampian were similarly chosen for high levels of violence as well as being one of the most socially deprived in the force area. Public space CCTV plays a significant role in the prevention, detection and prosecution of crime (A national strategy for CCTV in Scotland 2011). Research into a previous National pilot of BWV by the Home Office Police and Crime Standards Directorate (Guidance for the Police use of Body Worn Video Devices - July 2007) highlighted some early results in terms of crime reduction and increased public reassurance as well as reductions in paperwork and court attendance from increased guilty pleas associated with the use of this technology.

  • Compassionate Inverclyde – from the Outcomes Achieved to the Policy Fit, Leadership Considerations and the Approach to Community Engagement
    Introduction This report offers insights on various aspects of Compassionate Inverclyde – from the outcomes achieved to the policy fit, leadership considerations and the approach to community engagement. REALISING OUTCOMES AND VALUE Illustrates how the outcomes experienced can be mapped to many local and national outcomes, notably Scotland’s new national performance framework published in 2018 and derivative health and wellbeing outcomes and indicators. It considers the contribution that specific initiatives such as Back Home Boxes and Compassionate Inverclyde as a whole might reasonably be expected to make to specific indicators for readmissions to hospital, delayed discharge from hospital, and the time spent at home or in a homely setting in the last six months of life. This section also notes that the qualities evident in Compassionate Inverclyde are those which have been found to have the most influence on an initiative’s eventual social value. REFLECTIONS ON LEADERSHIP Pulls together reflections on leadership, whether understood as a personal attribute, responsibility or practice, including considerations of the key elements of the multiple leadership philosophies that Compassionate Inverclyde embodies. It presents guiding principles for effective Board engagement and governance and the desired qualities for a Compassionate Community leader. POLICY IN ACTION Some readers will be interested in what Compassionate Inverclyde tells us about the current Scottish policy context. Although it is important to emphasise that Compassionate Inverclyde was not, and is not policy-driven, this section considers the parallels between Compassionate Inverclyde’s community-derived ambitions and Scotland’s national purpose and values. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Provides information about how the practical ideas for kindness and compassionate citizenship taken forward by Compassionate Inverclyde were generated.

  • Health and Social Care Integration Scheme for Moray December March 20158
    Consultative Draft January 2018 Formatted: Centered Health and Social Care Integration Scheme for Moray December March 20158 This document is also available in large print and other formats and languages, upon request. Please call NHS Grampian Corporate Communications on (01224) 551116 or (01224) 552245. 1 Consultative Draft January 2018 Formatted: Centered Introduction This document outlines the future governance framework revised arrangements for how adult and older people care services will be integrated and delivered by The Moray Council and NHS Grampian and is prepared in line with the requirements of the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014. In developing revising theis2015 Integration Scheme we have engaged with carers, people who currently use health and social care services in Moray, and our joint workforce. We have also subjected the draft revised Scheme to an extensive consultation exercise and have made further changes to the original document based on the views and comments expressed by people and the organisations who took the opportunity to respond. During the consultation exercise we also informed people that the contents of this revised Integration Scheme will be final and it shall not be possible to make any modifications to the revised Integration Scheme without a further consultation and approval by Scottish Ministers. We also explained that the revised Integration Scheme will set out the parameters of our Strategic Plan which will present in more detail the changes to the way we propose to deliver integrated care services in Moray in the future. At a time when the health and social care system is facing significant demographic and financial challenges, we consider that this Integration Scheme will provide a strong foundation to how we can best improve the quality of care we deliver to the people of Moray.
