Participation & Education
This team work to make sure that all Scotland's children and young people have a chance to communicate with the Commissioner and to talk about the issues that matter. They do this directly and also through other organisations and clubs that work for and with you.
Katie Brown, Head of Participation and Education
Katie’s job is to make sure that all children in Scotland know about their rights, know about the Commissioner and how Tam can make Scotland a better place for children and young people. When she’s not doing this, she is dreaming about the endless sun in Turkey.
Cathy Begley, Participation and Education Officer
Cathy works to create good links and relationships with schools, and places where children and young people learn. She does this so that children and young people’s views and experiences can be passed on to the office to help us make decisions. She has an amazing collection of rare books and loves big rugs. She used to be a teacher so insists on everyone calling her Mrs Begley ( she doesn’t really).
Sarah-Louise Davies, Participation and Engagement Officer
Sarah-Louise does a similar job to Cathy, but she concentrates on the relationships with organisations that work with children and young people; likes charities and projects. She has bags of experience of working with children and young people in fun and productive ways. She's a creative type and is never happier than when she is cooking up ideas for activities. Never seen without her hair straighteners, she has an abject fear of being caught in the rain.
