Improving Support In The Workplace

By
Minister for Mental Health, Maureen Watt, has launched a new training resource to help meet the needs of people affected by trauma and abuse.



The National Knowledge and Skills framework for trauma is designed to support people working in the public and third sectors in Scotland to support those affected by trauma, their families, carers and supporters.

Ms Watt, said; "Trauma is a public health issue and how we deal with it and respond to those affected is everyone's business. We all have a part to plat. Therefore I'm delighted to highlight out commitment to improving outcomes for people affected by trauma.

"Scotland is at the forefront of this work internationally. This is an ambitious and transformative approach, which is about building capability and capacity across all sectors to recognize and respond better to the needs of people affected by trauma and abuse."

The training framework will be delivered by NHS Education for Scotland at the request of the Scottish Government's Survivor Support Team.


 Chief Executive of NHS Education for Scotland, Caroline Lamb, said; "Everyone has a role to play in improving outcomes for those affected by trauma and abuse. NES are delighted to have led on this work which is relevant to all staff.

"Trauma has ramifications beyond health, across education and justice for instance. We have an opportunity to continue Scotland's lead in creating unique solutions to the range of individual challenges faced by people affected by trauma.

"The Framework will help staff realise how common traumatic events are and their potential lifelong effects, help them encourage natural resilience among individuals and create integrated pathways to specialist services for those with complex or long-term needs."

Why We Need To Make Politics A Mandatory High School Topic

By
Basic politics is easy to grasp, but trying to teach yourself politics, in an unbiased manner, is very difficult. In my high school Social Education was made a mandatory subject, taught once a week, for the entity of the high school education, And while repeatedly learning the same things about sex and drugs is SO important there is no education on basic politics to speak of. Also I was never taught how to write a cheque, pay bills, or set up insurance, but those are separate issues. The recent run of elections, and referendums, and the poor youth turnouts are a huge sign that the populace is not receiving any understanding of basic politics. However, making it a mandatory topic within high school education, such as embedding it into already existent classes like social education, could prepare the future generations for making strong, well educated decisions when it comes the the governing of our country. With most parents not even having the most basic grasp of unbiased pol...

BBC Three's 'I Survived a Zombie Apocalypse' just the new Big Brother?

By
Basing any prior knowledge on the flashy, awe grabbing advert for the new reality T.V. show on BBC Three, I survived a Zombie Apocalypse, one had hoped that the show would be just as existing as the advert was. Hope thrived on the idea that putting regular people into such a scenario would bring out the best and worst qualities in an amusing, secretly recorded non-scripted way. Seeing the show finally pop up on BBC IPlayer gave cause to drop everything else just to watch it. The opening credits infused the idea, based on the long growing suspicion that radio waves are bad for our brains in some as of yet unknown way, the possibility that heightening these waves to far could cause serious neurological damage, and in this case cause the feared 'Zombies' It was all very flashy, clever and almost believable, well that is until the people started pulling in. There clips bringing you back to the sad reality that is British society, the fact that these people would be instructed...
