(SCOTLAND) ACT 2002 I Refer to Your Recent Request for Info Our Ref: IM-FOI-2017-0520 Date: 17 May 2017 FREEDOM OF INFORMATION (SCOTLAND) ACT 2002 I refer to your recent request for information which has been handled in accordance with the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (the Act). Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding. The matrix used to score events for eligibility for a rebate on the policing cost In respect of your question above a copy of the Charge Level Assessment form (also referred to as a matrix) is attached in excel format. By way of additional information I would ask that you note that Police Event Commanders use the Charge Level Assessment Form (also referred to as the Assessment Matrix) in an effort to establish if any abatement may be considered. It allows for a corporate and consistent approach to the application of abatements throughout Police Scotland. It is a wholly internal document that is used by Police Event Commanders and/or their planning representative. The completion of the Matrix is dependent on the individual aspects of the event concerned and as a result is unique to each event. The Event Commander, in consultation with the event organisers where necessary, considers the precise nature of the event and the likely level of adverse impact on the community. The Event Commander will assess the event against a number of criteria to determine whether any abatement may be considered. The abatement levels are: Nil, 50%, 75% or 100% (i.e. no charge). The criteria used within the Matrix includes consideration of the following: • Whether or not a Public entertainment/liquor licences are required • If there is a paid promoter for the event? • If there is payment to enter? • Whether or not traders will be present? • Where the event is wholly a charitable or community event? • Whether or not there are any paid performers? • Whether or not there are any qualified stewards? Each criterion is awarded a value which, when totalled, provides the Event Commander with an indication as to whether an abatement may be considered or not. It should be noted that irrespective of the scoring reached by an Event Commander using the matrix, the underlying principle of the Scottish Police Authority’s Charging for Goods and Services Policy is based on the concept of full cost recovery, which is in line with the scotland.police.uk @PoliceScotland PoliceScotland Scottish Public Finance Manual and should always take precedence. The matrix does not determine which events should be charged and that is a matter for Commanders only. The form is only used as guidance and to help support a decision that the Commander may make with regards to charging. Policing charges for events relate only to the recovery of costs for officers’ time spent policing the event itself. Where it is deemed appropriate by Police Scotland and the Local Authority to have police officers patrolling at an event, the supply of officers to the event depletes the number of resources normally detailed to police communities, therefore a charge has to be levied to ensure the normal public policing provisions are maintained and public funds are protected. The costs recovered from the event organisers to facilitate policing at the event does not provide a funding stream which can be later spent on other initiatives or projects, it simply recovers the cost for supplying the additional officers who were detailed to work at the event. While the policy was enacted in 2013, in order to allow event organisers sufficient time to make provisions in relation to income and revenue to offset potential increases in policing charges and also to respect some long-standing local agreements, Police Scotland did not fully implement this policy until June 2015. It should also be noted that in 2015 Police Scotland, in line with this policy, provided guidance to Local Police Commanders that the organisers of music festivals, where patrons are required to make payment for entry, should not be afforded any abatement. The issue is clear from the assessment made for the 2014 event when the organiser’s status has clearly influenced the decision to grant an abatement when in fact, regardless of how the revenue raised is subsequently used by an organiser, the simple fact is that public funds allocated to provide local policing should not be arbitrarily diverted for use in other community initiatives or for the purpose of providing charitable donations and certainly not to enhance the financial position of any interest, regardless of that interest’s status. Protecting public funds in this manner is entirely the purpose of the SPA Charging for Goods and Services Policy. The names of events last year that received a rebate A data table has been produced and lists those events which received an abatement in 2016. The table is contained within Appendix A, which is attached to this letter. For clarity, events where full cost recovery was applied and all events involving football, Public Military Events and Royalty & VIP visits have not been included in this list. Many of the events listed, show as having 100% abatement, but it should be noted that the majority of these are statutory events for which an exemption applies. A Statutory Event is an event (e.g. a parade or procession), which reflects the constitutional rights of the participants, such as protest, or there is royal, national or defined public interest, and there is no financial gain to the organiser. I would also highlight that there are many more events where there was no police resource dedicated to the event however local officers, if available, attended as part of their community engagement role. Such circumstances are not recorded and not included in this list. scotland.police.uk @PoliceScotland PoliceScotland The number of gold event commanders in 2016 I can advise you that Police Scotland does not hold the requested information. In terms of Section 17 of the Act, this letter represents a formal notice that information is not held. By way of explanation, I can advise that a ‘Gold Event Commander’ may be described as the officer of Police Scotland who is in strategic command of all police officers present in the Event Area for the period and deployment for which Police Services have been requested. A Gold Event Commander is not a role linked to any specific rank or function. In theory, any officer could undertake the role of a gold commander, particularly for the smaller events, and therefore a number is not quantifiable in this regard. However, in practice and particularly with regards to larger events, the Gold Commander is picked from a cadre of officers who have completed a Match Commander or Event Commander Course. These officers have proven that they are operationally competent by producing a portfolio to show they have maintained their skills by performing the role regularly and have been assessed to be competent. The list of eligible officer’s changes and as such there is no system in place to complete a retrospective check, which would provide details or numbers of the cadre in 2016. Should you require any further assistance concerning this matter please contact Information Management – Glasgow on 01786 895862 quoting the reference number given. If you are dissatisfied with the way in which your request has been dealt with, you are entitled in the first instance, and within 40 working days of receiving this response, to request a review of our actions and decisions. Should you wish to do so, please contact us at the following address, stating what has caused your dissatisfaction and what you require us to review: Information Management (Disclosure), Police Scotland, Clyde Gateway, 2 French Street, Dalmarnock, G40 4EH - [email protected] If you remain dissatisfied following the outcome of that review, you are thereafter entitled to apply to the Scottish Information Commissioner within six months for a decision.

  • Foreign Market Entry Modes of Running Events -The Internationalization of Göteborgsvarvet Half Marathon
    Foreign Market Entry Modes of Running Events -the internationalization of GöteborgsVarvet Half marathon Jenny Cheng and Hanna Sundell Graduate School Master of Science in International Business and Trade Master Degree Project No. 2011:12 Supervisor: Harald Dolles Abstract Foreign Market Entry Modes of Running Events - The Internationalization of GöteborgsVarvet Half Marathon Jenny Cheng and Hanna Sundell Supervisor: Harald Dolles Sports events are becoming increasingly globally important in social and economic terms. The number of people traveling abroad aiming to participate in those events has strongly increased in recent years. However, in the world‘s largest half marathon - the ‗GöteborgsVarvet‘ - held annually in Gothenburg, Sweden, the rate of foreign participants is still relatively low. Although a wide range of studies have been conducted within sports and event management, the attention towards developing an internationalization strategy for such kind of events is relatively low. The aim of the thesis is to fill this gap, by analyzing the case of GöteborgsVarvet and developing possible foreign market entry modes. The modes discussed in the thesis rank from cooperative forms, e.g. joint venture and marketing alliances, to wholly owned modes, like sales outlets and qualification races. The survey is based on qualitative and quantitative data. The results indicate that, in addition to choosing a foreign market entry mode that fits the specific event, there needs to be a close fit between destination and event in order to be able to attract foreign runners. Furthermore, in order for the internationalization of GöteborgsVarvet to succeed, it requires for the organization of GöteborgsVarvet to truly find or develop motives for it.

The founding aim was ‘a means to reorganise the conditions of their labours and thus bring more happiness into the lives of its members’. Soon renamed the ‘Fire Brigades Union’, the union built its membership across Britain, forging 100 years of supporting and protecting firefighters through the ethos defined in our motto, ‘Unity is Strength’. FBU members in Scotland have fully played their part in building the FBU nationally, not least in providing key leaders for the union like its general secretary (Ken Cameron) and presidents (Enoch Humphries, Ruth Winters).

  • Edinburgh Marathon
    Edinburgh Marathon The Edinburgh Marathon is the second largest marathon in the UK. It was first held in 1982 and since 2003 it has been held each year in May. It is part of the Edinburgh Marathon Festival. During the festival, runners can also take part in a Half Marathon, a Team Relay, a 10K (kilometre), a 5K, a Junior 5K, 2K or 1.5K as well as a Kid’s Kilometre. A marathon is a long distance running race. The official distance of a marathon is 42.195 kilometres or 26.219 miles. The marathon was one of the original events in the modern Olympic Games of 1896 but the distance was not made the same for every marathon until 1921. Hundreds of marathons are held around the world each year. The majority of runners at these events are not professional athletes. Many marathon runners are raising money by being sponsored to run for a chosen charity. Since 2003, runners taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival have raised over £30 million for hundreds of worthwhile causes. In 2016, 4 274 men and 2 322 women completed the Edinburgh Marathon. Each one received a medal and finisher’s t-shirt to mark their amazing achievement. The Edinburgh Marathon starts in London Road and Regent Road in central Edinburgh. Runners then pass by Holyrood Palace and run through Holyrood Park below Arthur’s Seat, Edinburgh’s extinct volcano. The marathon carries on past Meadowbank Sports Stadium, where Commonwealth Games have been held and Scottish athletes have won medals for their running.

It is important that we continue to work together to reduce the transmission of the COVID-19 coronavirus. I am writing to remind you that it is essential that pupils do not attend school in the following circumstances: Pupils must not attend school if symptomatic. Pupils who develops symptoms of Covid-19 (a new, continuous cough; fever; or loss of, or change in, sense of smell or taste) must self- isolate straight away, stay at home and arrange a test. If the test result is negative, pupils can end isolation and return to school when they are well enough and have not had a fever for 48 hours. If the test is positive NHS Lothian Public Health will confirm the dates of self-isolation which will be 10 days from when symptoms started. Please inform the school of a positive test result as soon as possible. Pupils who live in the same household as a person with symptoms must also self-isolate straight away and stay at home. They must not attend school. Only the person with symptoms should be tested. If the test result is negative, the rest of their household can end isolation straight away.

  • A Historicist and Ecocritical Analysis of National Identity in Contemporary Scottish Poetry, from Hugh Macdiarmid to John Burnside
    White rose and steady delete: A historicist and ecocritical analysis of national identity in contemporary Scottish poetry, from Hugh MacDiarmid to John Burnside Laura Jalkanen 682285A Bachelor’s Seminar and Thesis English Language Faculty of Humanities University of Oulu Spring 2021 Abstract This thesis examines four contemporary Scottish poems in order to understand how portrayals of nature and key historical events are connected to current expressions of Scottish identity. The analysis features poems from the 2000s and includes texts in English as well as in Scots in order to comprehensively map the latest developments in expressing national identity through poetry. The analysis is conducted in two stages, the first one employing a historicist approach and the second one an ecocritical approach. In the former stage, the goal is to establish a broader historical and cultural context for the poems and to draw connections to pre-2000s writers, such as Hugh MacDiarmid. The latter approach examines the type of nature relationship present in the poems. At the intersection of these two approaches lies the matter of identity. The aim of this thesis is to achieve a preliminary understanding of how literary perceptions of Scottish identity have developed in the 21st century and how they reflect the current national perception of self. Keywords: Scottish Poetry; National identity; Nationalism; Historicism; Ecocriticism; Hugh MacDiarmid Abstrakti Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastellaan neljää tällä vuosituhannella julkaistua skotlantilaista runoa. Tutkimuksen päämääränä on ymmärtää, kuinka runoihin sisältyvät kuvaukset luonnosta ja historiallisista tapahtumista ovat yhteydessä skotlantilaisen identiteetin nykyilmentymiin. Runot ovat 2000- ja 2010-luvuilta ja edustavat sekä englannin että skotin kieliä tarkastellakseen monipuolisesti kansallisidentiteettiä käsittelevässä runoudessa tapahtuneita viimeaikaisia muutoksia.

We are committed to working in partnership with you to ensure your child has a positive, high quality educational experience which ensures that they are successful in their learning, have high aspirations, grow in confidence and self-esteem, and are well prepared for future learning, for life and for work. We have high expectations of behaviour and attitude and value your support in promoting this. We greatly value the support parents can offer not only to their own child but also to the wider school community and we welcome offers of support in any capacity. I hope you will find this information handbook useful but it cannot contain all of the information you will need as your child continues their learning journey with us, so please do not hesitate to get in touch with any questions – our door is always open.
