Campaign Overviews

With roles in the adult social care (ASC) sector as important as ever, the Scottish Government is re-issuing its Adult Social Care ‘You can make a difference’ toolkit ahead of Scottish Careers Week.

The Driving Tired Kills campaign from Road Safety Scotland is focused on reminding people of the dangers when driving tired, and to provide tips and advice on the actions that can be taken to reduce the risks.  

The Scottish Government has re-launched the ‘Vaping Addiction’ campaign aimed at parents and carers of 10-17 year olds. The aim is to help increase awareness of the harms and risks of addiction of vaping for children and young people.

The Right Care Right Place campaign will launch next week with campaign assets now available for use across partner channels.

Following up on our previous 'Be The Early Bird' - Detect Cancer Earlier launch email in August, we wanted to make you aware that we have added new social assets and supporting copy to the stakeholder toolkit.

October is Menopause Awareness Month with World Menopause Day being held this week, on Friday 18 October.  

It’s nearly Bonfire Night, and ahead of 5 November the Scottish Government and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service are launching a campaign to highlight the dangers associated with fireworks misuse and the laws designed to help keep us all safe.

To support Menopause Awareness Month this October, the Menopause campaign aims to raise awareness of symptoms that could be menopause and help empower women to navigate this transition with more confidence.

A reminder that it’s Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week and this year we are encouraging all women and girls to celebrate the many ways they can lead the way in sports. We want every woman and girl in Scotland to feel inspired to get active. To help achieve this, we encourage you and your organisation to shine a light on those leaders who inspire women and girls to take part and get active.

Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week launched today and is running until Sunday 6 October. This year has kicked off with a campaign film of women and girls telling us who inspired them to get active and why they enjoy staying active. The film also features Jasmin Paris MBE who earlier this year became the first women to successfully complete the Barkley marathons.  

The 'Home First' approach in Scotland emphasises the importance of recovering at home once a patients medical treatment is complete. It brings together the different strands of support needed to allow this to happen and help maintain a patient’s independence.
