Renfrewshire visit. I first addressed a group of 100 pupils at St Mirren stadium. This was the launch of an annual consultation and engagement event to inform the development of children’s services in Renfrewshire.
I then went on to meet with senior managers, including Robert Naylor (Director, Education and Leisure Services), Susan Bell (Education, GIRFEC implementation), Shona Glasgow (Integrated Child Services Officer), Michelle McCargill (SW Senior Manager). The discussion around the legislative proposals was informative, particularly in terms of funding barriers, as was the opportunity to give details of the work areas from the blether.
