Guidance Notes and Best Practice Guides
ScotGov: A new online, one-stop shop has been launched recently to provide guidance to Scottish companies on exporting & growing their international business. ‘Export from Scotland’, delivers a range of free international trade training modules to all Scottish companies and individuals.
BIS: An innovative online training tool has been launched to help get thousands of experienced business people mentoring SMEs. The new training tool is part of the recent Get Mentoring scheme that is recruiting 15,000 new mentors to help entrepreneurs fulfil their potential.
IPCC: The IPCC has published its guidance on communicating with the media and the public in IPCC independent and managed investigations. This guidance responds to criticism in the aftermath of the shooting of Mark Duggan in August 2011 and the subsequent disorder.
A number of bodies have made recommendations about communications in circumstances where the IPCC is investigating and at times when there is potential for community tension and public disorder. It draws upon previous guidance (currently part of the IPCC/ACPO media protocol) but separates the specific issue of what the police can say in the aftermath of an incident from other guidance which can still be found in the IPCC/ACPO media protocol.
