Planning on hosting a back-garden bonfire or buying fireworks this year? Please consider the risks and attend an organised display if possible.
“If you want to enjoy fireworks my advice is to go to an organised public event. I’m proof that a few moments of excitement can have a lifetime of consequences.”
Ben McCabe

Need to visit your child’s school? Please make an appointment first
To help keep schools safe for pupils and staff, we’re continuing to limit the number of visitors to our school buildings, sadly this includes parents. This is due to our schools still following the Scottish Government’s Reducing the Risk in Schools Guidelines.
If you need to visit a school, please make an appointment first.

 Have you seen the That Guy campaign?
THAT GUY is a new campaign from Police Scotland to reduce rape, serious sexual assault and harassment by having frank conversations with men about male sexual entitlement.
We want women to feel safer. We want women to be free to live their lives without having to worry about what men say or do. Women should be able to go about their daily lives without worrying about being sexually harassed, assaulted or raped. But for far too many women that’s not the case.
Men: we can make a real difference by taking a hard look at our attitudes and behaviour, at home, at work and socialising with our mates. We need to talk openly to our male friends and relatives about behaviour that’s damaging to women and puts men at risk of offending.
