This information has been gathered from statistical data available nationally and locally and from the views of this community. Effective planning for the future depends largely on a good understanding of what already exists. This profile aims to provide a baseline of information about Whalsay in Shetland from which service providers, agencies, voluntary and community organisations in the area can develop a shared understanding of the needs and issues within the area. It is intended as a working document through which to stimulate debate, discussion and through which to support and inform action and developments, which seek to improve the local planning and delivery of services. The profile will be updated as necessary via the Local Service Delivery Group (LSDG) for the area, and will be used to encourage LSDG members and others to work more closely together to deliver locally appropriate solutions to identified needs. The profile will assist in the measuring of strategic outcomes at a local level, and contribute to the Single Outcome Agreement (SOA) reporting framework. 1 1 Footnote: In 2004 the Community Planning Board agreed on 7 localities for Shetland “to provide the basis for service planning at a local community level and specifically to support the future planning of health and social care services within the Community Health Partnership”. These are North Isles, Whalsay and Skerries, North Mainland, West Mainland, Central, Lerwick and Bressay, and South. Whalsay therefore represents part of one of the 7 localities. Skerries has its own Community Profile but some of the statistics combine information for both Whalsay and Skerries. 2 Shetland Islands Council Community Profile Whalsay Shetland Islands Council area Electoral arrangements Ward 2 Shetland North Alastair Cooper Addie Doull Bill Manson Ward 1 North Isles Laura Baisley Robert Henderson Josie Simpson Ward 3 Shetland West Florence Grains Frank Robertson Ward 6 Gary Robinson Lerwick North Sandy Cluness Caroline Miller Ward 4 Allan Wishart Shetland Central Betty Fullerton Iris Hawkins Andrew Hughson Ward 7 Lerwick South Gussie Angus Ward 5 Jonathan Wills Shetland South Cecil Smith Jim Budge Jim Henry Allison Duncan Rick Nickerson Figure 1. Shetland Islands Council electoral arrangements 3 Shetland Islands Council Community Profile Whalsay The Area The Shetland Islands are the most northerly local authority area in the UK, 298 miles north of Edinburgh, 211 miles north of Aberdeen and at least 50 miles north of Orkney, our closest neighbours. Shetland is only 228 miles from Torshavn in Faroe and a similar distance from Bergen in Norway. Shetland comprises more than 100 islands, 15 of which are inhabited and the total population is around 22,000. The islands lie further north than Moscow and southern Greenland. The Island of Whalsay area takes in the communities of Symbister, Isbister, Brough and Skaw. The island of Whalsay, is known locally as “the bonny isle”, the island is 5 miles (8km) long by 2 miles (3.2km) wide. The main hub of activity is around the harbour area at Symbister. There is some crofting, but Whalsay is heavily dependent on fishing for its economic survival. The island has a thriving and dynamic community. Whalsay’s main settlement is Symbister, with most of the other dwellings clustered around the NW coast in crofting townships, principally Brough and Skaw, with Isbister on the east coast. 4 Shetland Islands Council Community Profile Whalsay 1.0 POPULATION ­ Summary of statistics STAG Report Statistics May 2008 Whalsay Population – Shetland In Statistics 1981 Census 1991 Census 2001 Census 20 Year % Population Change 1,025 1,041 1,034 +0.9% (please note these statistics are for Whalsay on its own) Whalsay, over the last twenty years, has been able to maintain a relatively stable total population up until the last year figures available in the graph below. The combined population of Whalsay and Skerries went from 1,113 in 2001 to 1,131 in 2008, which is an overall increase of 1.6%. 2 In 2008, statistics indicated the split between males and females within Whalsay and Skerries was relatively even with a slight male dominance. There were 578 males and 553 females. The age group of 10­19 year olds was most predominant in the Whalsay and Skerries data zones followed by (in descending order) 40­49 year olds, 60­69 year olds, 50­59 year olds then 30­39 year olds. 0­9 year olds and 20­29 year olds were the same followed by 70­79 year olds, 80­89 year olds and 90 years and over. It is interesting to note the difference in these figures from area to area. Like Scotland, Shetland demonstrates an ageing population structure and this is replicated in the Whalsay and Skerries area. The percentage of the total population for the area between 2001 and 2009 who are children 0­15 years old has steadily decreased by 4.6%. This age range is currently roughly 18.5% of the population. At the same time the percentage of the population who are of pensionable age has continued to increase by 6.9% over that time and stands at around 24.5% of the population in 2009. There is a very small ethnic minority population in the area at approximately 1% of the total population. This reflects the ethnic population figures for Shetland as a whole. 3 2 GROS Population Data 2001­2008 3 NHS Shetland, 2009. Mapping Minority Ethnic Communities in Shetland, 2009.

The first phase was an analysis of existing recruitment and selection statistics from the eight Scottish police forces. Phase Two was a study of two police forces using a case study methodology: Identified issues were then circulated using the Delphi approach to all eight forces. There was a consensus that both society and the police are changing, and that disparate functional maps of a police officer's job have been developed. It was generally recognized that recruitment and selection are important, but time-consuming, aspects of police activity. Wide variations were found in practices across the eight forces, including the use of differential pass marks for the SET. Independent assessors have identified anomalies in the test indicating that it is both ambiguous and outdated in part, with differences in the readability of different versions that compromises comparability.

  • 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).

Monitoring & Evaluation 17 Appendix 1 25 Local Recommendations 18 Appendix 2 Defining and referring issues 26 of antisocial behaviour Page 2 01/09/2011 1. Introduction 1.1.1 The Highlands are widely recognised as being a safe place to live, work and visit. The Highland Council, Northern Constabulary and other partner agencies, seek to strengthen and enhance this reputation by dealing effectively with community safety issues including antisocial behaviour. 1.1.2 The Highland Council and Northern Constabulary take antisocial behaviour very seriously and the aim of this strategy is to ensure that Highland’s residents are able to have quiet enjoyment of their homes and communities, without being harassed or subject to nuisance caused by those around them. 1.1.3 The strategy has been prepared jointly by the Highland Council and Northern Constabulary to inform the public, stakeholders and partners about the agreed direction. It provides detail about the approach, priorities and partners’ commitments. 1.1.4 It takes account of the wider community safety agenda and commitment to deliver positive outcomes set out in the Highland Single Outcome Agreement and the multi agency coordinated approach in response to incidents of antisocial behaviour in the Highlands. 1.2 Community Safety Community Safety is about protecting people’s rights to live in confidence and without fear of their or other people’s safety; ensuring that people are safe from crime, disorder, danger and free from injury and harm; enabling communities to be socially cohesive, tolerant, and resilient and have strong networks that support individuals to take responsibility for their wellbeing.
