4C EIP Update Early Intervention & Prevention Update Update to ADP Committee 16th September 2019 The EI&P group is not currently meeting. Alcohol Brief Interventions (ABIs) Your role in Alcohol & Drugs training has been delivered to 117 tenancy staff across the Shire in collaboration with Police Scotland. Various disciplines within tenancy services attended predominately Housing Officers, Sheltered Housing Officers and Early Intervention Officers but also staff from the Community Safety team and Community Justice as well as Housing Occupational Therapists (OT). Four sessions were held in the North (2 x Fraserburgh & 2 Peterhead), two sessions in Central (Inverurie) & 1 in the South (Stonehaven). Those attending wanted the following from the training - more information on how to help, how to deal with A&D in their role, how to raise the discussion, more confidence on how to discuss, signs and symptoms, how to help folk move on from problematic use, what the pathways are and how to access services and how to signpost, among others. The sessions gave an overview of Alcohol and the cost of alcohol related harm in Aberdeenshire, information and interactive activities on the alcohol unit guidelines, why ABI’s are useful and the background evidence for same. Screening tools including the scratchcards, further information was also given on cuckooing and information on drugs with examples of substances shown. The session was ended with further information on screening, delivering an ABI and information on Aberdeenshire Alcohol & Drug services and the ASSET Gateway service and Scottish Families affected by Alcohol & Drugs services information leaflets (SFAD). Comprehensive resources were distributed including the scratchcards and unit glasses and other information leaflets on alcohol & drugs and links to other online resources including Hi-Net, & Grampian Health information online resources (HIRS) and Sobering Thought among others. An evaluation of the training is presently being compiled from the evaluation forms used at the training, where 69 of the attendees were interested in further training and several were interested in becoming ABI champions within tenancy services. Don’t Mix It Drug Related Deaths Campaign A short life working group has continued to work virtually on behalf of the three Grampian ADPs developing the Don’t Mix it campaign, an update to the campaign originally launched in 2013. This work has been greatly supported by Leah Dawson (NHS Grampian) and her Comms team. Alcohol continues to be a prominent feature in the drugs mix involved in more recent deaths. A social meda campaign using the International Overdose awareness day graphics were used for IOD day on 31st August via Facebook and Twitter and NHS Grampian online. Could someone you know be affected by an overdose? You could save a life. This is one of a series of short information videos that seek to raise awareness of some of the biggest risks of overdose in the North East of Scotland. These are mixing drugs and alcohol and buying drugs online or via social media. The videos will signpost to a website with further practical advice on how to reduce risk - http://hi-netgrampian.org/overdose. The website is for anyone affected, including friends or family members. #overdoseaware NHS Grampian Comms team have also created a Naloxone page on Hi-Net: https://www.hi-netgrampian.org/overdose/naloxone/ Supporting Drug Education in Schools Discussions across Aberdeenshire continue regarding addressing Drugs in Schools with an emphasis on developing sustainable long-term solutions. The aim is to support schools to be safe places, free of the impact of drugs, drug use and drug harms and to use a “public health approach” to achieve this, building capacity within academies. This initiative has arisen from the collaboration of frontline staff in Police Scotland, Education, Drugs Services and Public Health. Previous discussion on a ‘summit’ has not progressed, Moray & City are going ahead with their own groups and linking with their LOIPs. Peterhead Local GIRFEC Group (PLGG) has been pro-active in looking at their situation, looking for local solutions and this blazed a trail for other schools to make contact, including Alford Academy, Aboyne Academy, Banff Academy, Fraserburgh Academy, Mearns Academy & Turrif local GIRFEC group. All discussion is being encouraged to be had via the local GIRFEC Groups and a subgroup of the Aberdeenshire GIRFEC Thematic Substance misuse group will support this work forward. CREW 2000 Training CREW 2000 delivered multi agency training in North, Central & South Localities on 10th, 11th & 12th June funded by the ADP (105 in total).

    ELLON ACADEMY WEEKLY INFORMATION FOR PARENTS/CARERS To: All Parents/Carers From: Pauline Buchan, Rector Subject: Weekly Information Up-date Date: Friday 28th May 2021 ___________________________________________________________________________ Quote of the Week beginning Monday 31.5.21 We have now completed week 5 of our assessment block and staff continue to be busy with marking, feedback, and moderation. As you will be aware, the Director of Education Laurence Findlay issued a letter regarding the release of Provisional Grades to pupils by Wednesday 23rd June and we are confident we will meet that deadline. Here is the letter from Mr Findlay: Dear Parent/Carer, National Qualifications 2021 Further to my letter dated 1 April 2021, and as we move toward the latter stages of assessment evidence gathering under the SQA Alternative Certificate Model, I wish to provide you with an update regarding the remaining weeks. Firstly, I am pleased to report that Aberdeenshire received extremely positive feedback on the manner in which our processes have been developed and implemented. This scrutiny activity was undertaken by Education Scotland in their National Review of the implementation of the Alternative Certificate Model. Publication of this report by Education Scotland is expected shortly. Throughout this term, while assessment evidence gathering has been ongoing, young people will have been kept informed of their progress by their teachers through learning conversations. Provisional grades based on demonstrated attainment remain subject to the completion of the relevant quality assurance processes both within and between schools which will continue into June. Once the process and all stages of determining Provisional Grades is complete, young people will be provided by their school with a collation of the grades being submitted to the SQA.

The MCR Pathways approach began in Glasgow City around 10 years ago. The programme works to raise the aspirations of the young people involved and so increase their chance of achieving and sustaining a successful destination following school. Inverurie Academy was offered the opportunity to become involved with an Aberdeenshire pilot in 2016 and worked with a small number of young people, (around 12), and Befriend a Child in order to trial this. Most of the young people who engaged with the programme had notable improvements in the areas they had identified as priority. 1 AGENDA ITEM DISCUSSION ACTIONS RESPONSIBLE We carefully considered how to prioritise the use of our Pupil Equity Fund allocation and believe that this project is right for our school and community. Shona Lees has been seconded into the post of Pathways Coordinator for our school.
