Scottish Government Safer Staffing Legislation - Edinburgh Engagement Event
2018-02-08 10:00 - 12:30 (Europe/Dublin) | Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh
The Scottish Government has taken the decision at this stage to extend the Safer Staffing Legislation, which had initially been envisaged as relating solely to nursing, to the wider staffing of health and social care.
This decision, upon which Scottish Care is asking for greater clarification, is likely to have far reaching impacts on social care providers.
We have been alerted to engagement events to be held in the next few weeks and are keen that care home and home care/housing support providers are as well represented at these events as possible. These are being advertised on a first come first served basis and we would encourage members to attend these as a matter of some priority.
The event will provide further opportunity to discuss and contribute to the development of the safe staffing legislation.

Let's Talk about Sex...uality and Dementia
2018-03-08 12:00 - 16:00 | Terrence Higgins Trust Scotland, 3rd Floor, Breckenridge House, 274 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow G2 3EH., Terrence Higgins Trust Scotland, 3rd Floor, Breckenridge House, 274 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow , G2 3EH., United Kingdom
Sexuality as defined by the World Health Organisation should be afforded to all adults; therefore people should not be discriminated against because of their age, condition or care need is.

The taboo of sexuality and ageing is challenging enough without considering what this may come to mean for someone living with dementia, for care workers and for care providers.
Through this event, we want to bring people from across the care and support sector together to discuss some of the key issues and to ensure that a holistic, person centred approach to carefully encompasses a person’s sexuality as an integral part of self.
This event, hosted by Scottish Care in conjunction with partner organisations, will also see the launch of our latest Care Cameo which will focus on the theme of sexuality and dementia. There will be an opportunity throughout the day to hear from a range of speakers and to contribute to this important emerging issue.

The event is free of charge but as interest is likely to be high and places are limited we will charge a fee of £25 for those who book and do not attend without giving 48 hours notice.
You can book for the event at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/lets-talk-about-sexuality-tickets-42360043029
The event will be held in central Glasgow and will be of particular interest to those who work in the next fields of sexual health, dementia, and social care.
