There is a need to encourage more people to consider becoming a secondary school teacher in Scotland, particularly in harder to fill subjects including the sciences, maths, technology, modern languages and Gaelic.

The ‘Be the Early Bird’ campaign is active again this month with PR, partnerships, digital media and the roadshow.  Roadshow dates can be found via our Facebook page here and you can also look out for the campaign in Iceland (19 January – 1 February), Home Bargains (February) and on Open Goal (w/c 26 January).

The Mind to Mind campaign continues to encourage people to look after their mental wellbeing.

Nearly one in three drivers killed while speeding is aged 16-25. To help reduce this, the Scottish Government and Road Safety Scotland have launched a new phase of their Young Drivers campaign targeting risky driving behaviours among 17 to 25-year-old men.

Communications activity from the Scottish Government is working to promote the shared values that strengthen our communities and show the benefits of community cohesion in action, while also providing reassurance around existing support and services available for communities.
