its like a spiders web of interconnections  council, trusts, health board,  habour trust. 

yes your correct.

as there are a number of you with concerns. start asking questions in your real names of cope. see what they have to say. shetlink really wont resolve your worries. none of us can raise it for you. but we can offer support and advice. on how to. im not taking a side on this issue as i dont know. it would be a real shame if it was not employing as many service users as possible.

Then maybe contact The Enterprise Ready Fund and ask Them to investigate. 

if your concerned raise it with 

http://www.oscr.org.uk/

it can be hard in a small community to not employ relatives/ friends. as long as they interviewed equally and fairly. obviously you should not be involved in interviews if a close relative is involved. but we dont know and i would advise caution on what your implying. just speak to oscr. 

you seem to have an issue with cope. if your so bothered volunteer and help them change.  

Ive always liked a nosey round this shop, and have in the past bought the odd bits. I was quite dismayed recently when I expressed an interest in a piece of furniture that had just come in, and I waited while they looked up the price on ebay before offering me a rather expensive price. Is this how they do all their pricing ? Based on Ebay prices? Shame really !

other charity shops do as well. makes sense its a large seller of 2nd hand items. so a quick reference will give a guide to price.  

last line refered to clink restaurants run by prisioners on prison property by a charity to train prisoners. was just an example. colin we will just have to disagree.   

grumpy.

you really believe our government would do anything  i would disagree i believe local ideas like cope are better than employment schemes done by central government. i dont believe any of our political parties would. its a much needed service. as is moving on. 

it amazes me how generous people on shetland can be. 

 There are something's I am willing to accept as valid criticism, and that is the unrealistic pricing associated with Shetland Home Company   (Scrapstore), but this will be addressed soon, and people will be once again able to get a bargain and help in hand when they are struggling financially, because that has always been the ethos of the store. ,

 

 sounds fine. would have been better if you had said you were involved with cope. well done if you are. no one has picked on cope. 2 issues were raised not by me by the way.

1. pricing. you have dealt with it.  

2. coffee shop now closed. ive no problem with cope competing with normal shops. why not do a proper restaurant. a number of prisons are opening clink restaurants. no one moans about near free labour and free business rates. 

PLEASE TRY TO READ what folks are trying to say. everyone wants cope to be a massive success. they want your scrap store to be a success. not everyone can afford new. so carry on. 

please keep us up dated on your plans for cope. we would love to know   

you could argue that about all charities. but the world would be a much sadder place without them.

but im sure its a bit unfair to label copes staff of such a charge. when ive been near a cope store of any kind i see folks enjoying there work, its not often i see that in normal workers. if that requires staff to be employed i really dont care. much better for the clients supported workers to be out and working/learning than stuck at home.

its sad the government are making it harder for people with serious learning disabilities to work.   

i like you auction idea. 

a little unfair most of us a supporters of cope.

its a worthy cause. plants and butties too. the Volunteers are wonderful folks loads of praise richly deserved. the whole concept of protected training/work is excellent a pity the condems have closed remploy and other similar projects.

the clients should always be there main concern if and its a if they have lost track of there original objectives then maybe a review by them is needed. i maybe wrong i often am but adult social services are meant to fund adult training/ sheltered work placements. if so its a saving if support is from else where.  

finally the clients of cope are not unemployable. they face complex problems but still they work. really well done the workers and  Volunteers. with a caring employer there are roles that they can do. as a community Shetland like all small communities would find work for the less able bodied. so please support cope and please remember folks its better for us that cope works well and can take on more clients.

our larger employers could consider work placements tesco, coop and the council could easily provide places.   

count feet 6 a ked 8a tick. not sure if many want to be close enough to count its feet.

our was a tick. the infection is only passed on via ticks. its really not something i ever want to try to treat again  

what about the field near scalloway health centre

we assume you have been vet checked on your wooly friends arrival. when we were considering buying south we were seriously advised to be very careful what you buy and bring up. this was by SAC so quite a surprise. if any of your sheep become ill make sure they are checked out. you really wont be popular if you intro a new illness into there flocks. 

apart from that welcome to shetland. make sure they have loads of shelter. winter is a long way from over yet. buying feed is very expensive up  here plus transport costs. we lost a great man and feed merchant last year. so we are all now dependent on lerwick.

£146 ferry fares. 

based on a 13 ton lorry 33p per mile or £33 and  or daily rate of £144

so £290 just to break even. truck costs based on 2009 figures. more than 1 person will add to basic costs. say an extra 10% so £319 to cover inflation and it being shetland. 

no idea what their profit margin is but is £199 a massive profit. it does look a bit much. lets not forget vat. on my break even figure its an additional £63.80

so final total without profit would be about  £382.80. so at a guess making about £1 a mile profit plus vat of course. 

all above is just a quick estimate but i bet its not massively off.

ugly horrible creatures. 

yes. we recieved a caddy 3 years ago. started developing abscess after 2 vists to vet we spotted tick. it was to late for poor lamb. it came down with  Tick Pyemia poor creature suffered and was putdown. it was from northmavine. so definitely there. cant see why its not common on all rough ground. 

best to complain to Scottish education minister. we all know what they intend to do. its not changed. there goal  is still to shut all junior high schools.

feel free to ask them as i said i needed to work out what to do. but no just another attack. said person is in work and has had 8 days to acknowledge receipt. impressive your view of SIC has improved.  

And there's many adults with 'conditions' who never had 'treatment' or 'therapy' and who have managed to turn into well balanced adults without ce of the nanny.stat the assistane

and to hide away the truth helps how. their time in school was awful im very proud of them. SIC failing to support them and many others is public business if we continue to remain quite they wont change.   

paulb, what are you trying to achieve here?

 

I mentioned a solicitor specialising in eduational law but they usually only take on cases when clients have a child currently at school and the education authority are refusing to undertake the necessary assessments/provide the necessary services and the like, and take them to Court to rectify the matter.

im trying to prevent other children from suffering. if you had seen what sarah,abi, rachel and sam went through the tears they shed. the total denial from 4 schools up here that there was a problem.

from reading the messages on sams petition. it clearly shows its an ongoing problem.

from chats with other parents of kids with autism up here they were treated the sameway.

if i need to take it to court i will but its a last resort.

i would prefer SIC to accept there duty of care.

i want kids who are struggling to be tested early by a qualified person.

i want them to receive high quality of support.

i want teens that require camhs  support to actually receive it. not always  having to fight to access services.

i want 16 plus people to be able to be test on island.

i also want adult mental health to meet its duty to protect vulnerable adults 

I WANT AUTISTIC AND OThERS WITh LEARNING PROBLEMS TO RECEIVE A SAFE PROTECTED EDUCATION. FREE FROM BULLYING AND ABUSE 

Suffererof1crankymofo its what i want to achieve. it takes me a while to work out what i need to do. im still waiting on helen budge to respond been waiting a week now. obviously my mind is diverted onto other issues as well.
