I gave oral evidence to the Scottish Parliament, Education, Culture and Sport Committee. This was in response to my request to give evidence on the publication of my annual report and launch of the consultation of my Strategic Plan. The session was a useful opportunity to update the Committee on events since April 201 and to explain how the results from a RIGHT blether and the Strategic Plan consultations will be taken into account for 2011-2015.
Stefan and I visited Rosewell Primary school, Midlothian. This was a delayed visit because of other commitments earlier in the month. I addressed the whole school assembly – around 50 pupils. The school had prepared for a celebratory party for the UNCRC, with birthday cards and party hats for all. I cut the cake and the party began.
Katie and I travelled to Orkney and dined with Tina Smith and two colleagues who were organising the events the next day.
