Stefan and I visited Bathgate Academy and addressed a group of 100 senior pupils at assembly, thanking them for their involvement in a RIGHT blether and informing them of the work as a result. We spoke to a smaller group of six pupils from feeder primaries who had also taken part in the vote, including Blackburn Primary who informed us that they had submitted 59 votes, making the total 74,059. We also met around 20 pupils of the School Council and took part in a class of 15 pupils discussing politics – a very full visit indeed.
I briefly called in on the launch of the Centre for Excellence for Looked After Children.
