Think a glen.
I am based in England but sister (37F) is in Scotland. She moved here from the Middle East last year. Her children are 4(M) and 6(F). They were vaccinated when they were born for TB only (I believe it was a requirement of the country they were in). But have not had any vaccines since. Is it a requirement for children in Scotland to have any?
I believe the reasons for them are that my sister is needle phobic (and can’t watch them having an injection) as well as that she is not a believer in vaccines and is proud that the kids have never been sick (which is not true, they have never been taken to a doctor despite childhood illnesses).
The children are not registered with a GP and have never had a visit from any health professional. This worries me as they surely need to be checked as they grow up and are healthy.
The 6 year old was supposed to start school last year. I don’t know why this was delayed. She was then home schooled , but not seriously and this stopped last year. The plan was for her to start school in Scotland in September but she is not registered anywhere either.
I love my sister and her kids. I am having a hard time convincing her to change. She is evasive. My parents are exasperated with trying also.
Are there any legal requirements for school, doctor and vaccines for children in Scotland?
Is there somewhere I can report my sister so that she and the kids are checked. I believe she needs a wake up call.
(Dad is involves but from abroad (still in Middle East) and I don’t think he is much help)
So! On my contract it reads thus:
The terms and conditions contained in this Statement, and any subsequent revisions, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and the parties irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts in respect of this Agreement.
Which is fine, but this is a Scottish company, based in Scotland (Edinburgh) and we all work here in Scotland.
So why isn't the company governed by Scottish jurisdiction?
Any help would be great!
Full disclosure: I am not Scottish (American with distant Scottish ancestry) but I am curious to hear how Scottish people feel about the commonwealth.
ETA: Thank you all for your responses! As a citizen of a former English territory, I wish you all the best! Of course, with all the shit going on over here, I don’t think we’re really in a position to give our thoughts on anyone else’s government.
I think if the person had control of there superpowers and weren't a threat that they shouldn't be tracked or have to register with the government.

Today is 'Burns Night', so I'm here to answer any questions I can about Scottish traditions and culture, tartan, tweed, kilts, knitwear, our rather unique businesses, or pretty much anything else!
I set up Scotweb in 1995 - Scotland's first secure ecommerce site and maybe even the first company to retail custom made clothing online. Today we offer by far the world's largest choice of tartans and tweed products, where you can design your own tartan on CLAN.com and get it woven at the heritage weaving mill that we rescued from closure a few years ago, for manufacture into over 100 garments or products.
Our DC Dalgliesh weaving mill is the world's only specialist hand-crafted tartan producer. We stepped in in 2011 when it was about to close, both to save its unique skills, and because we saw huge value in its reputation for excellence and amazing 'Hall of Fame' client list. We've been turning it around to preserve its heritage while making the business fit to service 21st century demands competitively at any scale.
We're at an incredibly exciting stage of our own development, after years of behind the scenes work to prepare. We hope soon to seek investors for our future plans, but I can talk about these much tonight or any commercially sensitive business data that would help our many competitors. Beyond that I'll give it my best shot, whatever you want to fire at me.
I'm a little shaky on history and can't go deep into the technicalities of weaving that I'm still learning to understand myself. But I've been in this business for decades and we're evangelists for Scottish traditions and craft skills. So I'll do my best!

>A sumptuous culinary wonder, foodies have long considered chicken tikka masala — with its roasted chunks of succulent chicken doused in a creamy orange curry sauce — a testament to the UK’s status as a multicultural epicentre. But where did Britain’s unofficial national dish begin?
>See, the funny part is that the topic, like many great things, is entirely debatable and a subject of grave contention for many. Some vaguely state it’s a British take on a curry, while a considerable handful are convinced its roots are firmly grounded in India. Then there are others married to the fact that it was conceived in Glasgow, Scotland.
> Fans of acclaimed food critic Rahul Verma will see truth in his testimony and statement that the dish originated in Punjab during 1971: ‘It’s basically a Punjabi dish not more than 40-50 years old and must be an accidental discovery which has had periodical improvisations’.
>Perhaps the most convincing claim comes from the great Ali Ahmed Aslam of Glasgow’s inimitable Shish Mahal, an authentic Scottish curry house with a cult following. The story goes that this man is indeed the true creator of chicken tikka masala.
>It all started in the 1970s when a grumbling customer lamented about his chicken being dry. Once whisked back to the kitchen, Mr Ali — who thanks to divine intervention had a stomach ulcer and was on a liquid-based diet — insisted that the dry curry be embellished with a touch of his tomato soup and a sprinkling of spices. Needless to say, the customer went from disgruntled to overjoyed, so much so that he kept returning time after time with his mates just to taste this beauty of a dish once more.

Hi all,
My husband has accepted a job at a university in Edinburgh. We are trying to figure out the best visa option...he is going to come on a Tier 2 workers visa, and we could all join him (myself and 3 young boys) as dependents on that. The university will pay his cost and IHS fee, but not the rest of us (so, that would be over £12,000 in IHS fees alone for the rest of us).
Other option—as we are both health care workers, I bring over myself and the kids on a health and care visa, which waives the IHS surcharge. Only issue with that, is I have to wait first for my registration with the HCPC to get approved before I can really apply for jobs (I am a physiotherapist). So, my husband would have to move over first, for us to join later. Also, in that situation, I will have to likely work full time—however, that is another question I have. Does anyone know if you can still get an health and care visa, but work part time? I know their are income requirements, which could make that difficult.
Lastly, is it true, if I came over as a dependent on a tier 2 visa, and wanted to then get a health and care visa, would I have to leave the country to apply? (I have read this, but wasn’t 100% sure).
Any advise, insight, suggestions, we would appreciate it!
Thanks in advance!
Hi All,
I was wondering is it possible to register with a GP outside the area I stay in for example next to my work? I know in England they are not supposed to refuse but what about in Scotland and how would I do this as they all ask for proof of address from that area.
Its just because my GP refuses to give me an appointment and my mother and friends work there who have in the past freely talked about my medical history etc.
Thanks
