    Community Safety Partnership Report Issue 2022 September 2018 Community Safety Community Safety is about protecting people’s rights to live in confidence without fear for their own or other people’s safety ensuring that people are safe from crime, disorder and danger and free from injury and harm and communities are socially cohesive and tolerant; are resilient and able to support individuals to take responsibility for their wellbeing The Community Safety Partnership aims to improve community safety across Moray by identifying and addressing immediate concerns in order to protect the most vulnerable and at risk and be proactive to ensure that communities feel safe. The CSP comprises of various Moray Council services, Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, NHS Grampian, tsiMORAY and Registered Social Landlords. WATER SAFETY With the continuing warm weather it is always tempting to go swimming to cool off. Water may look safe, but it can be dangerous. Learn to spot and keep away from dangers. You may swim well in a warm indoor pool, but that does not mean that you will be able to swim in cold water. The dangers of water include: • it is very cold • there may be hidden currents • it can be difficult to get out (steep slimy banks) • it can be deep • there may be hidden rubbish, e.g. shopping trolleys, broken glass • there are no lifeguards • it is difficult to estimate depth • it may be polluted and may make you ill Moray Local Command Area - Community Policing Inspectors Elgin Wards - Inspector Graeme Allan [email protected]

  • Ronnie's Cabs
    transport guide FOREWORD The Moray Forum is a constituted voluntary organisation that was established to provide a direct link between the Area Forums and the Moray Community Planning Partnership. The Forum is made up of two representatives of each of the Area Forums and meets on a regular basis. Further information about The Moray Forum is available on: www.yourmoray.org.uk Area Forums are recognised by the Moray Community Planning Partnership as an important means of engaging local people in the Community Planning process. In rural areas - such as Moray - transport is a major consideration, so in September 2011 the Moray Forum held its first transport seminar to look at the issues and concerns that affect our local communities in respect of access to transport. Two actions that came from that event was the establishment of a Passenger Forum and a Transport Providers Network. This work was taken forward by the Moray Forum Transport Working Group made up of representatives of the Area Forums, Moray Council, NHS Grampian, tsiMORAY, and community transport schemes. In September 2013 the Working Group repeated the seminar to see how much progress had been made on the actions and issues identified in 2011. As a direct result of the work of the Group this Directory has been produced in order to address an on-going concern that has been expressed of the lack of information on what transport is available in Moray, the criteria for accessing certain transport services, and where to go for further advice. The Moray Forum Transport Working Group would like to acknowledge the help of all the people who provided information for this Directory, and thereby made a contribution towards the integration of public, private and community transport services within Moray.

  • Voices from the Edge
    Voices from the Edge A report into Poverty in Moray researched and compliled by The Moray Against Poverty Network September 2004 empowering people and communities page 1 The Moray Against Poverty Network provides effective support and a voice for those experiencing poverty in Moray. It aims to present an opportunity for individuals, groups and agencies to develop a shared responsibility in constructively addressing poverty issues. The mission is to ensure all people enjoy a decent quality of life. MAP is pro-active! This positive style is achieved by a range of activities including opportunities for personal and group development, raising public awareness together with recruiting and working with local and national organisations in the fight against poverty. MAP has organised several ground breaking conferences and produced a well received information pack for young adults entitled “Skint in Moray”. The network has now turned its attention and talents to research, focussing on whether poverty does indeed exist in Moray and how it impacts on the individual, the family and our community. “Voices from the Edge” is the first study undertaken by MAP and is the work of members who have themselves first hand experience of living in poverty. This report has not set out with any pretence of being regarded as an academic text. To make it such would undermine its originality, honesty and power. Rather, it is a truthful recording of the voices of many local people who endure poverty, live in the hope that conditions will improve and deserve the finest efforts of us all to make their lives better.

  • Flood Protection Scheme Feasibility Studies
    ITEM: 5 PAGE: 1 REPORT TO: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES COMMITTEE ON 20 OCTOBER 2015 SUBJECT: FLOOD PROTECTION SCHEME FEASIBILITY STUDIES BY: CORPORATE DIRECTOR (ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, PLANNING AND INFRASTRUCTURE) 1. REASON FOR REPORT 1.1 To ask the Committee to consider studies into potential flood protection schemes at Hopeman, Dallas, Portessie and Arradoul and agree a course of action, making recommendations to The Moray Council where there are budgetary implications. 1.2 To ask Committee to note the revised programme and a potential grant funding opportunity for Newmill Flood Protection Scheme Phase 2. 1.3 This report is submitted to Committee in terms of Section III (F) (21) of the Council's Scheme of Administration relating to the functions of the Council under the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009. 2. RECOMMENDATION 2.1 It is recommended that Committee:- (i) recommend to The Moray Council that Flood Protection Schemes for Hopeman and Portessie are taken forward and the Capital Plan amended to include £830,000 for the Hopeman scheme and £3.65 million for the Portessie scheme; (ii) note that Dallas is considered to have flood protection to the normal 1 in 200 year design standard, and consider whether protection beyond that standard should be provided; (iii) agree that there is no practical or economic means of providing further flood protection to Arradoul by means of a Flood Protection Scheme and it therefore is not taken forward; and (iv) note the change to construction start date and opportunity of potential grant funding for Newmill Flood Protection Scheme Phase 2.

  • Consultation Document
    Leadership and Management Arrangements in Primary Schools Consultation The Moray Council already has shared headships in six of its 45 primary schools. It is proposed to extend this to other primary schools in Moray with rolls under 145 and where the schools to be paired are within the same Associated Schools Group (ASG) and within a reasonable travelling distance of each other. Other rural local authority areas in Scotland already have significant paired headship arrangements in place which have been created to make the school system at primary level more sustainable for the future. Moray struggles to attract suitable candidates for headship in our small schools and this is due to a combination of factors such as: Those appointed sometimes use the post as a “stepping stone” to a bigger school and as such there can be a discontinuity of educational experience for young people. These posts are “teaching headships” and thus Head Teachers do not have the necessary time required to lead and develop the curriculum. The salaries, determined through nationally agreed job sizing, are often not sufficient to attract the best candidates as they are often below the salary scale for Depute Head Teachers in larger schools. The role can be seen as quite isolated as the Head Teacher does not have a management team to support them in the day-to-day running of the school. The Moray Council is committed to sustainability in terms of its educational provision and sustainable models of leadership are central to this aim. It is hoped that the proposals below will: Provide more sustainable leadership and management arrangements for Moray primary schools.
