West Dunbartonshire Council
PPAARRTTNNEERRSSHHIIPP CCOOMMMMIISSSSIIOONNIINNGG SSTTRRAATTEEGGYY Presented to: Joint Committee/Strategic Management Group Author: Norman Firth Date of Document: September 2011 Date of Revision: July 2013 Document Version: 4.0 1 Version 4.0: Revised July 2013 1. Introduction In “The Guide to Strategic Commissioning” (2009), the Social Work Inspection Agency (SWIA) defines this activity as: “the term used for all the activities involved in assessing and forecasting needs, agreeing desired outcomes, considering options, planning the nature, range and quality of future services and working in partnership to put these in place.” Implicit in this and other definitions is an activity which is cyclical and therefore dynamic. SWIA illustrates this via reference to a model developed by the Institute of Public Care (IPC). “The model is based upon four key performance management elements; analyse, plan, do and review. The model requires that each of the four elements receive attention, and all are kept in balance” (SWIA: 2009 from Joint Commissioning Model for Public Care: IPC: 2006). The overarching context for Criminal Justice Social Work (CJSW) is a framework of statutory duties within a public policy context focusing on reduction of offending and public protection against a background in which the service requires to improve effectiveness and reduce costs. 2. Focus This Commissioning Strategy relates to Criminal Justice Social Work Services. CJSW services principal duties and tasks relate to the assessment and supervision of offenders in the community either through the medium of community sentences or post release supervision following a custodial sentence. The Strategy refers to CJSW services and functions organised and delivered via formal partnership between Argyll and Bute, West Dunbartonshire and East Dunbartonshire Councils; referred to below as the Partnership (see below, Governance). -

Portlethen Moss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 4 Portlethen Moss NFrom, 2°8′50.68 Wikipedia,″W (http://kvaleberg.com/extensions/mapsources the free encyclopedia /index.php?params=57_3_27.04_N_2_8_50.68_W_region:GB) The Portlethen Moss is an acidic bog nature reserve in the coastal Grampian region in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Like other mosses, this wetland area supports a variety of plant and animal species, even though it has been subject to certain development and agricultural degradation pressures. For example, the Great Crested Newt was found here prior to the expansion of the town of Portlethen. Many acid loving vegetative species are found in Portlethen Moss, and the habitat is monitored by the Scottish Wildlife Trust. True heather, a common plant on the The Portlethen Moss is the location of considerable prehistoric, Portlethen Moss Middle Ages and seventeenth century history, largely due to a ridge through the bog which was the route of early travellers. By at least the Middle Ages this route was more formally constructed with raised stonework and called the Causey Mounth. Without this roadway, travel through the Portlethen Moss and several nearby bogs would have been impossible between Aberdeen and coastal points to the south. Contents 1 History 2 Conservation status 3 Topography and meteorology 4 Evolution of Portlethen Moss 5 Vegetation 6 Relation to other mosses 7 References 8 See also History Prehistoric man inhabited the Portlethen Moss area as evidenced by well preserved Iron Age stone circles and other excavated artefacts nearby [1]. Obviously only the outcrops and ridge areas would have been habitable, but the desirability of primitive habitation would have been enhanced by proximity to the sea and natural defensive protection of the moss to impede intruders. -

To members of our Fishermoss Family who are frontline keyworkers and NHS staff we applaud you all and we know we will never be able to thank you enough. Sincere thanks also to Fishermoss School Staff who have supported cluster colleagues to provide childcare at the Portlethen Hub based at Hillside School. Hopefully the following news from Fishermoss School will be a welcome distraction from COVID-19! Building Improvements This past term has seen a flurry of activity at Fishermoss with internal and external building work taking place. Our new build Nursery has been going up at an incredible rate which has added much excitement to playtimes and lunchtimes as our pupils enjoy seeing the progress being made. Our Nursery children have had visits to the site office and the construction team have certainly welcomed them as the children have appeared with home bakes including banana loaf and pancakes! Our Nursery children have been rewarded for the tasty treats by way of exciting learning experiences inside the diggers! The construction work going on has provided rich learning opportunities. Internal building work saw several of our classes being relocated to spare classrooms to avoid any impact on Learning & Teaching. -
