Social and Economic Environment. Two significant pieces of research will influence SMO’s development over the coming years: the 2011 Census and HIE’s research into the economic impact of Gaelic - Ar Stòras Gàidhlig - The economic and social value of Gaelic as an asset. xxxx://xxx.xxx.xx.xx/community-support/support- for-gaelic-development/gaelic-research.html Reference is made below to changing demographics as reported by the Census and this information influences our planning. The HIE research was published in November 2014 and concluded that the value of Gaelic as an asset (using Gaelic to add value to a product or service or activity) was between £81.6m and £148.5m and SMO was identified as one of the most important organisations in delivering this impact. It highlights the potential to increase its use within businesses, social enterprises and communities and reveals examples of best practice in using Gaelic as an asset and highlights potential activities that will add value to communities and the economy. This research will inform development of learning provision geared towards increasing people’s skills and employability over the coming years. Legislative Environment The College is aware of its responsibilities under section 63 of the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 regarding Corporate Parenting, which duties came into force on 1 April 2015. SMO is committed to providing all children and young people who have experience of being in care/ looked after with a safe, supportive learning environment which encourages them to fulfil their potential. The College, through its Safeguarding Group and relevant committees, continues to ensure that appropriate support systems are in place for this group of children and young people and has commenced a programme of training and awareness raising for staff in conjunction with UHI partners. The College is represented on the UHI care leaver group which was established to support the creation of Corporate Parenting Plans and College staff have attended training events with input from Who Cares Scotland. Staff have access to online training materials and the aim is to have all staff made aware of what is expected of them as corporate parents. The College will liaise with Who Cares? Scotland and with other key agencies to identify opportunities for collaborative working in order to encourage and support care experienced learners who may wish to engage with Gaelic learning.
