Recommendations 1.1 Council is invited to • Agree that the Chief Executive write to the Local Government Boundary Commission seeking a meeting to explore the possibility of the Commission broadening the scope of their current review to include rural wards of super sparsity. • Agree that the Council write to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Local Government to highlight issues around the methodology used in boundary reviews and to make the case for additional flexibility over the number of members for rural wards. 2.

  • Equally Safe at Work Successes from the Pilot Contents
    Equally Safe at Work Successes from the pilot Contents Introduction 2 Equally Safe at Work 3 What councils did 4 Case studies from pilot councils 6 What we have learned 12 1 Introduction Equally Safe at Work is an innovative employer accreditation programme developed to support Scottish local authorities to improve their employment practice through advancing gender equality at work and supporting victim- survivors of violence against women (VAW). The programme was developed by Close the Gap, Scotland’s women and labour market expert, which works with employers, policymakers, trade unions, and employees to influence and enable positive action to address the causes of women’s inequality at work. Equally Safe at Work was developed to advance women’s labour market equality in Scotland through working directly with employers to ensure that workplace policies and practice take account of women’s experiences of employment. The programme was designed to support councils to understand how gender inequality and VAW affect women in the workforce and the wider organisation, and to provide a framework to drive change. During the pilot of Equally Safe at Work, early adopter councils completed a range of activities to address the causes of gender inequality and also implemented new mechanisms to better support victim-survivors at work. Through their participation in the pilot, councils generated integral learning on local government employment practice on gender equality and VAW that will inform future development of the programme. £17 billion a year the cost of women’s inequality in Scotland 2 Equally Safe at Work Equally Safe at Work supports the local implementation of Equally Safe, the Scottish Government and COSLA joint strategy to prevent and eradicate violence against women and girls.

  • Homes Near Top Scottish Schools Command £73K Price Premium
    NOT FOR BROADCAST OR PUBLICATION BEFORE SATURDAY 1 SEPTEMBER 2018 HOMES NEAR TOP SCOTTISH SCHOOLS COMMAND £73K PRICE PREMIUM Parents pay a premium of almost £73,000 (36%) on average compared to average house prices across Scotland Average property prices have reached £277,134 near Scotland’s top 20 state secondary schools Parents need to pay an average of £72,973 more to live in the catchment area of a top performing state secondary school in Scotland, according to new research from Bank of Scotland showing that average prices in these areas have now reached £277,134. Home buyers are paying, on average, a premium of over a third (36%) when compared to houses in surrounding areas (£204,162). This is a significantly higher premium than last year, when the top 20 Scottish state schools were commanding a comparatively smaller premium of £41,441 on average or 22% more than other properties within the same local authority. This difference is due to a change in the mix of schools in the top 20 in the past year – with a number of new schools in relatively more expensive areas in the latest survey. New entrants such as Hyndland Secondary School in Glasgow and James Gillespie's High School in Edinburgh have driven up the average premium costing an average of 76% and 69% respectively than other homes in the same local authorities – topping the table in first and second position as the most expensive school catchments. There are six new entrants to the top 20 schools this year, all of which fall within the top 10 most expensive school catchments.
