  • Examining the Test: an Evaluation of the Police Standard Entrance Test. INSTITUTION Scottish Council for Research in Education

INSTITUTION Scottish Council for Research in Education. SPONS AGENCY Scottish Office Education and Industry Dept., Edinburgh. ISBN ISBN-0-7480-5554-1 ISSN ISSN-0950-2254 PUB DATE 1996-00-00 NOTE 104p. AVAILABLE FROM HMSO Bookshop, 71 Lothian Road, Edinburgh, EH3 9AZ; Scotland, United Kingdom (5 British pounds). PUB TYPE Reports Evaluative (142) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC05 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Employment Qualifications; Foreign Countries; Job Skills; Minority Groups; *Occupational Tests; *Police; Test Bias; *Test Interpretation; Test Use; *Testing Problems IDENTIFIERS *Scotland ABSTRACT In June 1995, the Scottish Council for Research in Education began a 5-month study of the Standard Entrance Examination (SET) to the police in Scotland. 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 Independent assessors have identified anomalies in the test indicating that it is both ambiguous and outdated in part, with differences in the readability of different versions that compromises comparability.

The framework has evolved since then, to now capture key elements of what the Scottish Government considers to be a high-performing planning service. These include: • speed of decision-making • certainty of timescales, process and advice • delivery of good quality development • project management • clear communications and open engagement • an overall ‘open for business’ attitude This Framework gives a balanced measurement of the overall quality of the planning service in Inverclyde, identifying what happened in 2016-17 as well as what is planned for 2017-18. It will form the basis on which the Scottish Government will assess planning performance against the backdrop of Inverclyde Council determining planning applications considerably faster than the Scottish average and benefitting from an up-to–date Local Development Plan and on-track replacement. Dutch Gable House, William Street, Greenock 4 PLANNING PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK 2017 PART 1: DEFINING AND MEASURING A HIGH QUALITY PLANNING SERVICE 5 PLANNING PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK 2017 QUALITY OF OUTCOMES HILL FARM Hill Farm was initially identified as an expansion to Inverkip in the 1946 Clyde Valley Regional Plan, with planning permissions first being granted by Renfrew County Council for a “new community” in 1974.

  • West Renfrew Hills Local Landscape Area Draft
    West Renfrew Hills Local Landscape Area Statement of Importance Contents 1. Introduction 2. Policy Context 3. Study Approach 4. Statement of Importance 4.1 Landscape Overview 4.2 Landscape Description 4.3 Local Landscape Area Boundary 4.4 Landscape Change 4.5 Other Designations and Interests 1. INTRODUCTION The West Renfrew Hills lie within the Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park and stretch from Inverkip and Wemyss Bay in the west to the edge of Loch Thom in the east and adjoin the North Ayrshire Special Landscape Area to the south. Patterns of hillside and coastal landscapes combine with the varied patterns of vegetation to help define the character of the rural areas and provide a functional setting for the urban areas of Inverclyde. 2. POLICY CONTEXT Scotland’s landscapes are recognised as a major asset, contributing to national, regional and local identities, adding to the qualities of many people’s lives and providing attractive settings which help promote social and economic development. The European Landscape Convention (ELC) highlights the importance of an ‘all landscapes’ approach to landscaping and encourages more attention to their care and planning. This provides a framework for work on Scotland's landscapes based on a set of five principles: people, from all cultures and communities, lie at the heart of efforts for landscape, as we all share an interest in, and responsibility for, its well-being; the landscape is important everywhere, not just in special places and whether beautiful or degraded; landscapes will continue to evolve in response to our needs, but this change needs to be managed; better awareness and understanding of our landscapes and the benefits they provide is required; and an inclusive, integrated and forward-looking approach to managing the landscapes we have inherited, and in shaping new ones, is required.
