Change, Loss and Bereavement in Highland is made up of a collective of professionals from a variety of agencies who strive for better outcomes for children and young people who have experienced change and loss.
The aim of this website is to provide advice, guidance and links to useful materials, resources and other agencies who can support in times of change.

"The majority of children do not require specialist intervention and the indiscriminate use of bereavement services can be unhelpful. Children are more likely to seek support from family and friends and communication and support both within families and from the wider community have been found to play an important role in children's coping."
The prevalence of childhood bereavement in Scotland and its relationship with disadvantage: the significance of a public health approach to death, dying and bereavement; Sally Paul & Nina Vaswani.

We are still adding to our page, and welcome ideas and input. Especially from children, young people and their families.
In the meantime, you can find policies and guidance relevant to Change, Loss and Bereavement here.

About

ScotPHO's profiles tool allows users to explore the various different profiles produced by the ScotPHO collaboration.

The profiles are intended to increase understanding of local health issues and to prompt further investigation, rather than to be used as a performance management tool. The information needs to be interpreted within a local framework; an indicator may be higher or lower in one area compared to another, but local knowledge is needed to understand and interpret differences.

The Scottish Public Health Observatory (ScotPHO) collaboration is led by Public Health Scotland, and includes Glasgow Centre for Population Health, National Records of Scotland, the MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit and the Scottish Learning Disabilities Observatory.

We aim to provide a clear picture of the health of the Scottish population and the factors that affect it. We contribute to improved collection and use of routine data on health, risk factors, behaviours and wider health determinants. We take a lead in determining Scotland's future public health information needs, develop innovations in public health information and provide a focus for new routine public health information development where gaps exist.

Organisations may cite material included within the ScotPHO profiles tool subject to the following conditions:

Quote the source as "Scottish Public Health Observatory"

Include the following URL - https://scotland.shinyapps.io/ScotPHO_profiles_tool/

If you have any trouble accessing any information on this site or have any further questions or feedback relating to the data or the tool, then please contact us at: phs.scotpho@phs.scot and we will be happy to help.

What is the UN Convention?

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is the basis of all of our work. It is the most complete statement of children's rights ever produced and is the most widely-ratified international human rights treaty in history.

What makes the UN Convention so special?

The Convention has 54 articles that cover all aspects of a child's life and set out the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights that all children everywhere are entitled to. It also explains how adults and governments must work together to make sure all children can enjoy all their rights.

Every child has rights "without discrimination of any kind, irrespective of the child's or his or her parent's or legal guardian's race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin, property, disability, birth or other status" (Article 2).

The Convention must be seen as a whole: all the rights are linked and no right is more important than another. The right to relax and play (Article 31) and the right to freedom of expression (Article 13) have equal importance as the right to be safe from violence (Article 19) and the right to education (Article 28).

We are the only organisation working for children recognised by the Convention.

The Convention is also the most widely ratified human rights treaty in the world. All UN member states except for the United States have ratified the Convention. The Convention came into force in the UK in 1992.

This programme is temporarily closed for applications

Due to the high number of families coming to us for support over the last few months, we now have no further funding available, and are temporarily unable to accept any more applications. We hope to provide a reopening date soon.

About Your Opportunity

Your Opportunity is a dedicated grant programme which aims to enhance the life of disabled, or seriously ill, young adults, aged 18 to 24 years old, living at home. Young people cannot apply on their own but applications should come from parents or carers.

Funding for Your Opportunity is limited and applications are accepted from families on a first-come, first-served basis, until funding is fully allocated.

Who can apply?

You can apply for your young adult if you can say yes to all the following:

you have not received a Your Opportunity grant, on behalf of this young adult, in the past 12 months

you have lived in the UK for the last six months

you are a family on a low income from work, or benefits such as Universal Credit, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit etc.

specialist resources used - needs resources such as a wheelchair, oxygen, screen magnifier or electronic communication aid

the physical environment - needs support with getting around, travelling independently, and keeping safe.
