Forthcoming Event
ScotGov: A Children's Summit designed to further improve services for Scotland's children, including the most vulnerable is to be hosted by the Scottish Government. Staff working in the NHS, social work & child protection, education, police, voluntary sector, will be among those invited to the event, as well as Scotland's Children's Commissioner and a range of other experts on children's issues.
Ministers will also meet groups of young people in the months prior to the June 2010 event, including representatives from the Scottish Youth Parliament, to hear their views & concerns so that these can be reflected in the summit's discussions.

OS: Local charities & community group web developers are invited to a FREE ‘Mash-up evening’ in Southampton on Tuesday 2 March 2010, showing how to make the most of Ordnance Survey mapping online. The session will show how they can put OS mapping on their own websites using OS OpenSpace, a new online mapping application.
One of the groups already using OS OpenSpace is Eastleigh District Scouts. David Patrick who created the website said: “It is really useful to show where the various Scout groups meet as it allows people who are interested to find out how to get involved. Using OS OpenSpace was fairly straightforward and there is lots of online help. I’d recommend it.”
