Regional Skills Assessment Tayside Contents 1 Introduction 2 2 Context 5 3 Economic Performance 7 4 Profile of the Workforce 20 5 People and Skills Supply 29 6 Education and Training Provision 43 7 Skills Mismatches 63 8 Economic and Skills Outlook 73 9 Questions Arising 80 sds.co.uk 1 Regional Skills Assessment Section 1 Tayside Introduction 1 Introduction 1.1 The purpose of Regional Skills Assessments This document is one of a series of Regional Skills Assessments (RSAs), which have been produced to provide a high quality and consistent source of evidence about economic and skills performance and delivery at a regional level. The RSAs are intended as a resource that can be used to identify regional strengths and any issues or mismatches arising, and so inform thinking about future planning and investment at a regional level. 1.2 The development and coverage of RSAs The content and geographical coverage of the RSAs was decided by a steering group comprising Skills Development Scotland, Scottish Enterprise, the Scottish Funding Council and extended to include the Scottish Local Authorities Economic Development Group during the development process. It was influenced by a series of discussions with local authorities and colleges, primarily about the most appropriate geographic breakdown.

  • Statistics Publication Notice
    Statistics Publication Notice Lifelong Learning Series 29th March 2011 Higher Education Students and Qualifiers at Scottish Institutions 2009-10 Statistics on Students and Qualifiers on Higher Education (HE) courses at Scottish Institutions 2009-10 are published today by Scotland’s Chief Statistician. This publication contains updates of the figures in the ‘Students in Higher Education at Scottish Institutions 2008-09’ publication, published on 17th March 2010, and updates of the figures on qualifiers from the ‘Attainment in Higher Education and Destinations of Qualifiers 2008-09’ publication, published on 29th September 2010. The figures reported here supersede those contained within previous releases. The release contains information on HE provision in higher education institutions (HEIs) in Scotland as well as Scotland’s colleges. Summary of Key Findings: • Both the number of students (287,565) and the number of entrants (147,465) to HE in Scotland reached record levels in 2009-10. Compared to the previous year student numbers increased by 2.8% and entrant numbers by 2.3%. • Recent trends in the number of Scottish students have shown increasing numbers in the last two years following a fall to 209,170 in 2007-08. Since 2007-08 the number of Scottish students has increased by 3.1%, students from the rest of the UK and from outside the UK have increased by 6.6% and 19.8% respectively (including an increase of 26.9% from EU students in the last two years). • In 2009-10 entrants from deprived areas were under represented by -3.8 percentage points. In 2001-02 representation of this group stood at -5.8 percentage points, since then representation has increased each year and is now at the highest level recorded, due to both a slight depopulation of deprived areas and increased participation in HE from those areas.

  • E1203 Thefts at Construction Sites 201211 AL4369 SDDSP01 R2014
    Supporting documentation for FOI E1203 Claire Evans Thefts at Construction Sites Question 1 Could you tell me the number of recorded thefts, security breaches and / or incidents at construction sites in your police area in the last full 12 months prior to receipt of this email. Question 2 I would like a breakdown of the incidents which have taken place and where they have happened (specific site addresses). Could you tell me what has been damaged / stolen from the site. Question 3 I would like detailed breakdown of the type of thefts or incidents which have taken place and any conviction that has taken place (if this is in your ability to expand). Response: Please note a Crime or Offence is regarded as Detected where there exists a sufficiency of evidence under Scots law to justify consideration of criminal proceedings, notwithstanding that a report is not submitted to the PF because either 1.by standing agreement with the PF or childs reporter, the police formally warn the accused or 2. reporting is inappropriate due to the non-age of the accused, death of the accused or other similar circumstances. Detected does not therefore necessarily mean that in every case someone was physically arrested. For the period 1.12.2010 - 30.11.2011, there were 166 CHARGES recorded described as Type Construction-Building Site. The table below details the address where the incidents took place together with the type of incident and items stolen / damaged.

  • Townhill Planning Update.Pdf
    FIFEPLAN – EXAMINATION The Scottish Government Reporter has issued the Examination report on FifePlan. Her findings are final and Fife Council is bound to take account of the conclusions when finalising the Plan for adoption by the full Council. Thereafter, planning applications will be tested against the approved Plan. To recap, the issues that Fife Council proposed and that affect Townhill are: Housing developments at: Chamberfield –up to 50 houses Kent Street – up to 120 houses Colton – up to 150 houses (TCC objected to all three on the grounds of uncertainty over school places at Townhill PS and coalescence between Townhill and Dunfermline). Rejected Housing development at: Muir Road Muir Road – Waxwing (TCC supported the continued exclusion of these sites from the Plan) Brownfield site development at: Former Power station Loch Car Park (TCC did not object to development of these sites but alerted against coalescence with development of Kent Street) Transportation: A new link road , a section of which runs from Wellwood (A823) to Whitefield Road and dissects the Country Park, bespoiling the Loch area. (The Northern Link Road). (TCC, along with other community groups, objected to the NLR proposals on several grounds and specifically the section through the Country Park) Issues of indirect impact on Townhill: Development by Taylor Wimpey of housing at a 1400 unit site at Halbeath along with a primary school, health centre and retail units, and the onward eastern section of the NLR. (TCC did not object to this development but alerted against its size and the impact on Townhill and its primary school). Summary of TCC’s agreed position: • TCC does not object in principle to new housing across North Dunfermline.
