Meeting with Glasgow Education Directorate – Cathy present. Shared the strategic approach and agreed how to break down engagement with Glasgow – the largest LA area. There is the potential to work closely with Glasgow on a Right Blether as other sections (e.g. leisure already have group working on out of school engagement). We visited Whitehill Secondary and met with a class of 15 pupils, informing of a Right Blether and having a short Q&A. We then moved on to Wellshot Primary meeting a group of professionals associated with the school and later 6 pupils from P7.
I met with Phil Taylor and Victoria from UKBA - Stefan present. This was a positive meeting considering the next steps to ensure that there are a range of suitable alternatives to detention in Scotland - that will have more general application with the implementation of the new government policy. Phil informed of potential Ministerial visit.
