Western Isles visit. Gillian and I took part in a full day of activity. We initially met with Joan Mackinnon (Director of Education and Children’s Services), Bernard Chisholm (Head of Children’s Services and Resources) and three senior councillors. This was a general discussion and feedback on a RIGHT blether. We went to Sgoil nan Loch School and met with two groups of children – P3-P7 and S1-S2 pupils. We met with at least 40 pupils in total and I was able to thank most of the pupils for their involvement in the GLOW meet held here last year. We then met with eight members of the Lewis Youth Council at the Point Youth Centre. I had also met most of this group last year and thanked them for their support and input into a RIGHT blether (they complained about schools toilets). Finally, we visited the Nicolson Institute and met with six S6 pupils and at least 20 S3-4 pupils. As the Institute had not taken part in a RIGHT bletherthis was a more general session about my role. I had an informal discussion with the deputy head which included some reference to the issue of school toilets and the management of them.
