I wish everyone instrument and one is a negative instrument. present a happy new year and hope that they all I am pleased to welcome to the committee the had a good Christmas and new year recess.

I add my Baker, who has been unavoidably delayed. best wishes to committee members for the year Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take ahead. in private agenda item 6, which relates to our I am grateful for the opportunity to outline why continued consideration of the committee‟s the Government seeks the committee‟s support for forward work programme. Is that agreed? the orders, which make a number of necessary Members indicated agreement. consequential amendments to primary and secondary legislation. The majority of those amendments simply replace references to the Adoption (Scotland) Act 1978 with similar references to the Adoption and Children (Scotland) Act 2007. The orders also make amendments due to the introduction of permanence orders. Let me take this opportunity to explain some of those changes. I will not cover them all, but I am happy to answer any questions on other amendments. Along with changes to references in primary legislation to the Adoption and Children (Scotland) Act 2007, the draft Adoption and Children (Scotland) Act 2007 (Modification of Enactments) Order 2010 will make four changes to that act that we have identified as being required. The majority of those modifications are cosmetic changes to deal with supplementary words or subparagraphs that remained during the drafting of the act. However, the draft order also includes one material change to the 2007 act. In discussions with stakeholders, we identified a potential omission in the drafting of section 109 of the 2007 act, which prescribes applications to the courts that must be heard in private. We are taking this opportunity to correct that omission. Persons who are affected by a permanence order, such as 3005 13 JANUARY 2010 3006 those who have had or currently have parental The Convener: Item 4 on our agenda is rights and responsibilities for the child, can be consideration of the Adoption and Children given leave of the court to apply for a revocation of (Scotland) Act 2007 (Modification of Subordinate the order. Such applications would not currently be Legislation) Order 2009 (SSI 2009/429). There subject to the same provisions of privacy as all have been no motions to annul the order and the other proceedings. Therefore, the order will amend Subordinate Legislation Committee had no section 109 to include reference to proceedings recommendation to make on it. If there are no relating to an application under section 98 of the comments, does the committee agree that we 2007 act. That will ensure that all proceedings for have no recommendation to make on the order? permanence orders will be heard in private. Members indicated agreement. The draft order will also make some changes due to the introduction of permanence orders, The Convener: I thank the minister for his including an amendment to the Foster Children attendance. I suspend the meeting briefly to allow (Scotland) Act 1984 to ensure that persons who the minister and his official to leave, and the next have had all their parental responsibilities and witness panel to join us. parental rights extinguished by a permanence order are not to be considered as suitable foster 10:08 carers. Meeting suspended. An amendment to the Children (Scotland) Act 1995 is also required due to the introduction of permanence orders; the amendment ensures that the conditions under which referral to a children‟s hearing is made include circumstances in which a child is the subject of a permanence order and their behaviour is such that special measures are necessary for their adequate supervision. All the amendments made by the Adoption and Children (Scotland) Act 2007 (Modification of Subordinate Legislation) Order 2009 are straightforward technical amendments, such as ensuring that legal aid is available in emergency situations when a court is considering a permanence order, or ensuring that information on spent convictions can still be gathered when assessing somebody for the purposes of adoption under the 2007 act. The amendments that I have highlighted, along with the other minor changes to legislation that are made in the orders, are both important and necessary to allow the process of planning for permanence to operate in the existing legislative environment. I am happy to answer any questions that the committee has on the orders. The Convener: Thank you for that explanation of the Scottish statutory instruments that are before the committee today. I am sure that this is a rare occurrence in the committee, but it seems that we have no questions to ask you on changes to the legislation. That is possibly because the committee previously considered the policy impacts of the legislation in great detail. Under the next item on the agenda, I invite the minister to move motion S3M-5466. Motion moved, That the Education, Lifelong Learning and Culture Committee recommends that the draft Adoption and Children (Scotland) Act 2007 (Modification of Enactments) Order 2010 be approved.—[Adam Ingram.] Motion agreed to. 3007 13 JANUARY 2010 3008 10:10 year on year.

    Club, Community and Coal: A Case Study of Dunfermline Athletic Football Club in the 1980s James Canavan MA Sports History and Culture De Montfort University August, 2015 Acknowledgements Over the past year I have been overwhelmed by the support and guidance by many people associated with Dunfermline Athletic Football Club. From an initial, exploratory post on fans’ forum dafc.net in late July, 2014, I was immediately contacted by Donald Adamson and Jason Barber, who offered to help. Through Jason I was able to interview Jim Leishman and Ian Westwater, and Donald provided me with a high level of information about the club, in addition to the links with coal mining. I cannot thank Donald and Jason enough for their assistance. The following people have also provided help and information along the way: Gordon Baird, Alan Bairner, Kenny Cowan, Joe Graham, Jim Leishman, Duncan Simpson, John Simpson, and Ian Westwater. Every single person is a credit to themselves and to Dunfermline Athletic Football Club for giving up their free time to help me with this dissertation. I would also like to apologise to the staff at the temporary library at St Margaret’s House for my inability to work the microfiche readers, and to thank them for their help. At DMU, Matt Taylor has been very helpful in terms of the structure of the dissertation, and Neil Carter provided initial guidance. Lastly, I would like to thank my Father, Frank Canavan, for being a constant inspiration to complete this project. Since his death in 2009, I have visited Dunfermline every year, taking in a Pars match as a personal tribute.

  • Additional Material for Chapter 11 – Sexual Offences, Human Trafficking, Female Genital Mutilation and Forced
    Dodd & Hanna: McNae’s Essential Law for Journalists, 24th edition Additional Material for Chapter 11 – Sexual offences, human trafficking, female genital mutilation and forced marriages Section numbers from the book are used where relevant. Its content provides fuller explanations and context. 11.2 The wide application of the anonymity Case study: David Dinsmore, former editor of The Sun, was convicted in 2016 of breaching the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 1992, because the newspaper published a photo identifying the victim of a sexual offence. Mr Dinsmore denied the charge, but was found guilty by the Chief Magistrate, District Judge Howard Riddle at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. The case was brought by Durham police, and arose from a Sun article published after footballer Adam Johnson’s arrest in 2015 for illegal sexual activity with a 15‐year‐old girl. Johnson was jailed for this in March 2016. The article showed part of a photo of him with the girl in which her face was obscured. The article did not name her, and warned that anyone who identified her online would face prosecution. But, Mr Riddle heard, some social media users identified her because they recognised similarities between the original photo, from when it had been visible on a private Facebook account, and the altered version used by The Sun. Mr Riddle said he was satisfied that Dinsmore and The Sun staff thought they were complying with the law because they took extensive steps to change the photo to obscure the girl’s image, including changing the colour and length of her hair, and the background in the photo.

  • Dunfermline Press Limited
    SUBMISSION FROM DUNFERMLINE PRESS LIMITED Current state of the Scottish local/ weekly newspaper industry. • Falling circulations – Forth Weekly Press averages @ 8% • Decline revenues – Forth Weekly Press averages @ -30% • New entrants to our marketplaces both locally and nationally. • At a local level there are new web businesses competing for our market share – and also new local print directories. • Nationally the likes of the BBC, STV, Google and Yahoo are all targeting local services and are able to apply there economies of scale and technical advantages towards our traditional consumers and advertisers. Reasons for a decline of the Scottish local/ weekly newspaper industry 1. No doubt that advertisers have reduced marketing spend on advertising. Where advertisers continue in local papers they often have reduced ad size and frequency. 2. Certain categories of advertising specifically hit by recession – property (new and residential), motors and recruitment. How has the increased use of the internet as an alternative to the printed media affected the industry? Specifically: • as an alternative source of local news • as an alternative source of public sector job vacancies • as an alternative for advertising public notices 3. A number of categories have migrated on line – especially recruitment and residential property 4. Many big websites now apply a numbers formula to offer advertisers local reach. i.e. by offering lots of cheap inventory to clients they promise to achieve a significant local reach because a proportion of a campaign will logically reach a local audience – alongside the vast proportion that is wasted. But because the cost of a web campaign is so low, the local penetration and cpm is still cost effective, despite the waste.

A wealth of information has been uncovered on the medieval burgh, revealing aspects of its development, society, trade and industry. In particular, the recently restored Abbot House has been found to contain a complex architectural archaeologicaland history. Preparation thisof paper entirelywas fundedby Historic Scotland.

The former burgh of Dunfermline, Fife, was among the first burghs to be studied by the Scottish Burgh Survey (Gourlay & Turner 1978). Prior to publication of the Burgh Survey, almost the only archaeological work in the town had been by the Office of Works/Department of the Environment at the abbey (3,4} and palace (5), both now in the care of Historic Scotland.

    Strategy On Media From riches to rags: prospects for local newspapers Authors: Alison Sprague [email protected] Olga Nuryaeva [email protected] 2 PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Consolidation or collapse? Regional and local press owners have expressed the urgent need to consolidate in order to make a successful transition to digital. However, they argue that they face a major obstacle in the form of a restrictive media merger control regime that has not in the past taken into account the potential for competition across boundaries between newspapers and other media. The Digital Britain report states that such arguments need to be tested against the evidence. With the gauntlet effectively thrown down, now is • In respect of advertisers, the strength of alternative the time for the industry to gather the evidence, and media substitutability needs to be tested, rigorously. quickly, both in terms of advertising markets and media While on a case by case basis there may be specific consumption.
