27 April - Getting ready for Election Day on 5 May
Staff in the Elections Office of the Chief Executive's Department are gearing up for the Scottish Local Government Elections next Thursday 5 May.
The council has a legal requirement to facilitate the election in the city, including providing training to more than a thousand poll station staff - who are needed to make election day run smoothly.
Richard Hill, normally a Senior Data Analyst in Community Empowerment Services, has been seconded to the Election team in the role of Constituency Manager - responsible for overseeing training for the large numbers of staff.
Richard said: "Prior to covid-19 we provided a series of training sessions in the City Chambers.
"Over the last two years we've had to adapt to the covid restrictions. For the Scottish Parliamentary elections last year, it wasn't possible to bring lots of people together for training. Instead, we organised virtual training for our polling station staff who received training and support through an online video which featured Mairi Miller Head of Legal and Democratic Services talking about what was required. We also used a video produced by our colleagues at North Lanarkshire Council which helped the poll staff see what a polling station looked like."
Richard added: "This year we've produced our own online training video which shows our poll staff exactly what our polling stations will look like and what they will be expected to do. This will be suitable for staff manning every election in the city.
"We'll be inviting our polling station staff to attend an online session on Microsoft Teams where the video will be shown and there will be a live presentation from Emma Rodger Election Co-ordinator about the specific aspects of this election, particularly the order of preference voting which will be used at the Scottish Local Authority Election this year - and then at the end an opportunity to ask questions."
Richard concluded: "The online training has proved very popular; feedback from attendees last year was very positive. Not only does the video allow the trainees to actually see what their polling station will look like and what they will be required to do, but it can be more convenient for some staff as they do not need to travel into the City Chambers for the training sessions."
Training sessions began on 20 April. Staff from the Election Team in the Chief Executive's Department have been working with colleagues across the council family and the council's social media team, and graduates seconded from Corporate HR and the corporate Public Relations team to co-ordinate activity.

27 April - Home carer's actions receive thanks
East end home carers Jollene and Michelle came to the assistance of a member of the public after witnessing her fall outside her flat.
The lady tripped on stairs and luckily the carers were finishing a shift at her neighbours so were on hand to help. Following the incident, she wrote a letter to the carers' manager praising how helpful they were and how grateful she was. She said "I bumped my head and felt shaky and stunned, as I live on my own and had received a head injury they suggested phoning an ambulance. Jollene waited with me until the ambulance arrived and Michelle went to the local shop to replace the carton of milk that burst open when I fell.
"Michelle also called to check on me the following day when she was visiting my neighbour. I would like to acknowledge how helpful the carers were as it turned out my blood pressure was extremely high. This would not have been detected had it not been for the carers responding to my situation very professionally."
Wendy Galbraith, Area Operations Manager said "Michelle and Jollene are a credit to the service, I am thankful they were nearby when this incident occurred and were able to assist."
27 April - Making content accessible: staff support
We have recently published accessibility guidance to help make it easier for us all to create accessible information.
Kirsty Fereday, Senior Communications Officer explains: "It is really important that the information we produce every day is clear simple and follows a set of standards. This helps to make it accessible to people with impaired vision, motor difficulties, cognitive impairment, deafness or with hearing impairments.
"As well as it being good practice for us to make all of our online documents accessible, as a local authority we also have to follow key legislation which came into force in 2018. This requires all our downloadable documents and forms published on both our website and intranet - Connect, to be accessible or we could be subject to a fine and this could also damage our reputation."
Get into the routine!
Following these accessibility standards is more than simply making online content accessible. We should all get into the daily habit of creating accessible information - even if it is not going to be published online. This is so that it is accessible enough for most people to use it without the need to adapt it.
How to make content accessible - staff support
Visit our accessibility guidance section on our staff web pages to learn more about:
- tips for creating accessible content
- running an accessibility checker
- helpful accessibility tools - to support people with disabilities or anyone who wants to make the learning experience on their device easier.
The section is broken down into the following key topics to help you quickly find the right support you need:

27 April - Have you got your corporate lanyard?
Our Corporate Identity Guidelines include information on our Glasgow City Council logo and how to use and reproduce it correctly. Other key parts of the guidelines include internal housestyle design, communication, behaviour and lanyards.
Our council lanyards are clearly branded to make sure that both our staff and the public can easily recognise that the person works for the council and are used to hold your ID badge.
We have a single approved corporate lanyard design which includes the words Glasgow City Council. There should be no variations on this corporate branding in use across the council - however, please note that GCHSCP have their own branded lanyard.
Colin Edgar, Head of Communication and Strategic Partnerships said: "We all know how important it is to keep ourselves and our colleagues safe, and I almost never see someone not wearing a security pass. Branded lanyards can help us to be individual or show support for a cause or a charity but sadly they do make it harder to know at a glance who should be in the building. Please do help us by making sure you wear the corporate council design."
Ordering lanyards
Our corporate lanyard supplier has now changed - the new supplier is the APS Group.
If you don't already have a corporate lanyard for your team please follow this process to order them:
- City Chambers Complex - the City Chambers Duty Manager is responsible for ordering for the City Chambers Complex. If you work in these buildings, email citychambersdutymanager@ced.glasgow.gov.uk
- For other Services - the corporate lanyards can be ordered on Pecos by:
- Obtaining a price from supplier APS for your chosen quantity by emailing Glasgow.APS@theapsgroup.com
- Select non catalogue item on Pecos once you have your quote
- Select APS Group from supplier list
- Enter details and cost and complete order
- Receive proof of the corporate design from APS - the design must not be changed
If you need any assistance or further help, email Corporate Guidelines (on Outlook)

20 April - Teams: use of background images
Teams is the Microsoft video conferencing software approved for use by key groups of staff across the council family.
As a corporate communication tool you should follow our council standards to make sure you are presenting yourself in a professional manner. This means that if you choose to alter your background environment on your video call - it should be:
- changed to one of the three approved corporate images (GCHSCP have their own approved corporate background for use.)
- or you can choose to blur the background as part of the standard Teams toolkit.
If you choose not to use one of our approved corporate backgrounds - please be mindful of what is visible behind you on your video call, in particular making sure that no sensitive information is on show.
Please do not use any other images.
Kenny Meechan, Head of Information and Data Protection Officer explains : "The use of Teams and appropriate background images form part of our Acceptable Use of IT Facilities policy. Staff should re-familiarise themselves with this as it outlines our key guidance on making sure that all council IT assets, software and equipment are used properly and in accordance with our core policies - to help protect our staff, our systems and our reputation."
Download and use
IT support in Teams
All staff who use Teams can now access Microsoft 365 Learning Pathways - offering a raft of online self-support for Microsoft 365 and, specifically, Microsoft Teams.

20 April - Don't touch your phone when driving: Highway Code and law updated!
From 25 March 2022, new Highway Code rules came into force.
It is now illegal to use a hand-held mobile phone when driving - except in limited circumstances, following amendments to the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations.
This change in law means that you must not use a mobile device in your hand for any reason - whether you are online or offline. This is of particular importance to staff who drive a council fleet vehicle - which includes the loan of an electric pool car.
This change includes when:
- supervising a learner driver
- stopped at traffic lights
- queuing in traffic
- driving a vehicle equipped with stop/start technology
- holding and using a device that's offline or in flight mode.
The only time you are allowed to use your mobile phone while in a vehicle is when the vehicle is parked up and the engine is switched off.
You will receive a fine of £200 and 6 penalty points if you are caught using a handheld device when driving.
There are limited exemptions. Such as if you need to make an emergency call to 999 or 112 or when making a phone contactless payment at a road toll. However, this would not apply in Glasgow as there are no toll payments in force.
More detailed information:
- on The Highway Code, road safety and vehicle rules can be found here.
- in particular, Rule 149 on the use of Mobile Phones and In Vehicle Technology.
20 April - My IT: an easier way to get help
The self-service portal 'My IT' was launched last November.
The portal allows staff to manage IT incidents and requests from their device without the need to call or email the Service Desk.
My IT will also enable CGI to handle the request process with a quicker and more efficient approach than before.
Brendan Murphy, Head of Digital Innovation explains: "The key benefit of My IT is that it logs tickets immediately. This means CGI can start working on the request straight away - in most cases 24 hours faster than if you send an email.
"It empowers staff by giving them the ability to track the progress of their requests and incidents by providing an overview of all job tickets in the one location. It also has the functionality of being able to add comments to tickets which will be seen by the Service Desk immediately."

13 April - Face coverings in the workplace
The current legal requirement to wear face coverings in indoor areas, such as retail spaces and public transport, is due to become guidance on 18 April.
When you're at work, we are encouraging you to continue to follow this guidance and wear a face covering indoors (unless exempt) in all communal areas and when you're moving around our offices and buildings. Our risk assessments are also in line with this guidance.
There is separate government guidance that applies to education establishments and healthcare settings.
Remember, you should also continue to respect the space of others as you go about your work and move around our buildings - be aware of your distance from others.
Other safety measures will also remain in place in our buildings until further notice, measures include cleaning materials for you to wipe down your desks before and after use, hand sanitisers placed around buildings and day cleaning of surfaces. Open windows and doors a regular basis for good ventilation.
We can all play our part as we adapt to living with COVID-19. You should continue to take personal responsibility to protect yourself and others.

13 April - Think Before You Print
Reducing our printing - go paperless
Before the pandemic, the council family used around 90 million sheets of paper a year to help it run all its different services. That's a lot of paper!
Glasgow has been set a target of becoming carbon neutral by 2030.
To help us achieve this aim, we have moved our supply of paper to recycled sources, saving us £60,000 a year, halving our carbon footprint for paper and saving the equivalent annual energy consumption of over 160 homes.
We have also launched a council-wide project to review all our printing and mail processes to help reduce our energy consumption and carbon footprint - which will also help us to save significant time and money.
Moira Carrigan, Project Sponsor, Financial Services said: "During the pandemic we reduced our city centre office printing by 50% by finding alternative ways of doing things.
"We're keen that as we return to the office, we continue to decrease our printing - the challenge to all our staff is to reduce the amount of paper we use. Together, we can all make a difference so we're asking everyone to 'think before you print.'
Reducing our printing - go paperless
Do you know there are different ways to review documents without printing?
Check out our top tips to help you go paperless and change your printing habits.
Tips to go paperless
- Share documents by email or using a shared space before attending meetings, for example in EDRMS or in a project space - this will remove the need for attendees to print documents.
- Use split screen functionality to compare multiple documents on one screen.
- Use the functions in Word to review documents and take notes.
- Use applications such as OneNote on your device to take notes in meetings.
Tips to change your printing habits - if you have to print
- Print double sided
- Reduce margins/spacings to fit spreadsheets to pages
- Scan to email instead of photocopying
- Proof before you print
- Always print in black and white unless you absolutely have to print in colour.
Let's all make a difference and remember to:
- Reduce our printing - go paperless; help our city become carbon neutral by 2030
- Go green: keep it on the screen

13 April - Donald's Dystonia documentary
Donald's in the frame for a Celtic 'Oscar' award
Donald MacPhee, Gaelic Development Officer in the Chief Executive's Department, is in the running for an award at the Celtic Media Festival - keeping company with the likes of Martin Compston and Patrick Kielty.
The awards ceremony will take place in Quimper, Brittany from 7 to 9 June with winners decided by a panel of industry experts across the Celtic nations. The event is the Celtic equivalent of the Oscars.
Donald featured in a documentary on BBC ALBA about his experience of suffering from Dystonia - a condition which leaves Donald unable to straighten his head. In the documentary, Donald gives an insight into the impact the condition has on his daily life and his ongoing battle to find treatment or relief.
The documentary, Dystonia: Beatha air Fhiaradh (Life at an Angle) has already won the Best Gaelic Contribution to Media award at the Scottish Gaelic Awards in November 2021.
Donald said: "It's great news that the film has been recognised in this way; the whole team are absolutely delighted. It's not quite a BAFTA or an Oscar, but it is quite a big deal in the Celtic nations media world.
"Our director from Sgeul Media phoned me excitedly with the news. She's already won a BAFTA from her time at the BBC so now as an independent she knows it is a huge achievement just to get on that list. The 'Single Documentary catetory receives the most applications across all of the television companies so to get a nomination for a film about dystonia is amazing.
"I must admit it's a bit surreal for me to see myself on a Media Festival website. We're all keeping our fingers crossed that we win in June."

6 April - Microsoft Teams - hybrid rooms
To support hybrid working, two meeting rooms in the city centre chambers complex have been kitted out with new technology to provide hybrid MS Teams rooms. This means that meetings can be held in person and others can join on MS Teams from home or any other location.
A high-definition video camera and two large screens allows everyone to see each other, and documents can be shared and viewed as normal. Multiple desktop microphones provide a good quality sound for everyone in the meeting.
When you enter a hybrid meeting room, details of the meeting will be displayed on a desktop unit and all that is required is to press the Join button for the meeting to start, and everyone in the room can then take part in the meeting.
Stephen Sawers, Head of Facilities Management said: "With more staff now working in a hybrid way and time split between home and office, it's been more challenging to run meetings that either need confidentially or more interaction with each other, like a project workshop; the hybrid room has worked well on these occasions to meet the needs of everyone, no matter where they are working from."
Book a hybrid meeting room
For now, there are two rooms which can now be booked: 2.09 in City Chambers East and G22 in Exchange House, 231 George St.
As we only have two hybrid rooms at the moment and we want everyone to have a chance to test the rooms.
You should only book a room when you need multiple attendees to attend both in the room and digitally, for example, workshops and project meeting with multiple stakeholders.
Try not to book for every meeting you schedule or block book for whole days/weeks. You can continue to have the bulk of your meetings as you do now on Teams or face to face in other meeting rooms.
Read the guide on how to book and use a hybrid room
The hybrid rooms are part of the hybrid working pilot and they will be tested and reviewed as part of the programme, to understand the demand for further investment in this technology.
Demonstration and support sessions
The Strategic Innovation Information and Technology Team (SIIT) are running sessions to find out more about using the hybrid rooms they installed in partnership with Microsoft. The sessions are in room 2.09 City Chambers East on 11 and 20 April and all sessions are 30 minutes long.
Availability will be limited, pick a time slot below and email Organisational Development (on Outlook) to confirm your place. Further sessions maybe organised based on demand.
Monday 11 April
Session 1 - 9.30am
Session 2 - 11am
Session 3 - 12 noon
Session 4 - 1pm
Session 5 - 3pm

6 April - Have a go at trying to identify a phishing attack!
Spotting Phishing emails is becoming increasingly difficult and almost anyone can be tricked into clicking on a link or opening an attachment - which could contain malicious software designed to attack IT systems and steal your personal/operational information.
Did you know? Cyber criminals are becoming more and more creative in their approach to steal information and in addition to our email security software the team in our Security Operations Centre at CGI automatically block nearly 80,000 targeted attack attempts on our network each year! That is almost 7,000 every month.
Kenny Meechan, Head of Informationand Data Protection Officer explains: "Everyone needs to be vigilant with the information we receive and handle every day. This includes knowing how to spot different types of cybercrime to prevent an attack and keep our systems safe.
"Most of us are familiar with the term phishing but do you really know what it means and how to spot a potential attack to prevent it from causing harm? For example, Macro phishing is a less common term but it can still have devasting consequences. Always check what you have received, who it has been sent from and never open anything that you think is suspicious - report it immediately."
Have a go and test your own knowledge
Watch your colleagues take part in an interactive Phishing exercise with the National Cyber Security Centre as they try to identify a phishing email. Try and spot the signs that show the email may not be genuine.
Always be vigilant and remember to report anything suspicious to Integrity (on Outlook)

6 April - Calling all disabled staff
Corporate HR are organising an online focus group to give disabled staff from across the council family to share their views and experiences.
The aim of the event is to discuss the potential implementation of reasonable adjustment passports.
What's involved
The session will explore what staff think about, how best their current short term and longer term 'reasonable adjustments' could be clearly documented to assist them in their role.
The event will: explain what the council is trying to achieve by looking to introduce their equivalent of a reasonable adjustment passport; explore how our approach supports the wellbeing and confidence of staff; provide examples of other similar approaches; explore what staff think about our approach and identify any benefits and potential barriers we can overcome
What is a reasonable adjustment?
This is a change that must be made to remove or reduce a disadvantage related to:
- an employee's disability when doing their job
- a job applicant's disability when applying for a job
The Purpose of a reasonable adjustment Passport is to:
· Provide clarity on what adjustments have been agreed
· Reduce the need to reassess, justify, or explain adjustments, giving employees confidence that they won't be subject to repeated scrutiny
· The Passport should support workers in maintaining their reasonable adjustments
· Avoid repetitive referral to Occupational Health
· Provide employee and line manager with a basis for future and ongoing conversations about adjustments
Thom Hughes, Senior HR Officer, Corporate HR said: "The event will be attended by staff who are keen in helping to shape council policies and practices that affect our disabled workforce.
"We want to hear from staff what their thoughts and views are about how the council could support disabled staff in their roles.
"We'd like to encourage everyone affected, or with an interest in disability, to sign up for the event and help to influence positive change to our policies and procedures."
How to register
The event will take place on Microsoft Teams on Monday 11 April, 2pm to 3pm.
