Intensive support and monitoring will be available to all local areas from 1 April 2008. Responsibility for the effective use of these measures is a matter for local agencies. Scottish Government is taking forward a programme of work to support local areas in managing high-risk young people, including through the use of intensive support and monitoring for young people who meet the criteria and may benefit from the service. This includes updated regulations, training, good practice, events and the deployment of professional advisers to provide on-going support utilising the experience of intensive support and monitoring Phase One areas.

Providers have discretion over the volume and nature of ESOL provision, although they should have regard to our adult ESOL strategy in planning such provision.

Publicly funded ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) classes are provided in Scotland's colleges, Community Learning and Development (CLD) partnerships in local authorities and by a small number of voluntary providers.

Children under the age of 16 on remand are currently placed in secure accommodation in most cases. Children appearing on a charge before a criminal court can be remanded in prison custody under an unruly certificate. The Scottish Government has announced plans to abolish unruly certificates, which, if approved by Parliament would see all children remanded in existing secure units. There are no new secure units planned for this purpose.

All seven secure units in Scotland are available for children aged 16 and under on remand:

Kibble, Paisley

St Philip's, Airdrie

Good Shepherd, Bishopton, Renfrewshire

Rossie, Montrose, Angus

St Mary's, Bishopbriggs, Glasgow

Edinburgh

The Elms, Dundee.

It is estimated that approximately £5,000 will be spent on the following public information leaflets: HCS1 Help with Health Costs (web only) and HCS2 A Quick Guide to Help with Health Costs (booklet). Both include information on eligibility to the costs of dental treatment.
