\"\"<\/a>GIRFEC National Competition Winner is Oban High School S4 Student Niamh Macauley<\/strong>
\nOban High School S5 pupil Niamh Macauley\u2019s beautifully drawn poster was the winning entry from among hundreds of submissions in the national GIRFEC student competition. Sponsored by the Scottish government\u2019s programme known as Getting It Right For Every Child, the topic for the design competition was \u201cWhat does well being mean to you?\u201d
\n
\nNiamh will travel to Edinburgh next week to be honoured for her winning artwork by the GIRFEC officials who will treat Niamh and her mother to breakfast and lunch and a tour of their facility. The trip will give Niahm a chance to see first-hand what the GIRFEC organisation does.
\n\u201cI was so surprised to have had my work chosen as the winning in the design competition,\u201d she said modestly. \u201cI am really pleased to be part of this programme that helps kids and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n

Design competition<\/strong>
\nFor young artists and designers, GIRFEC judges sought out a design for a cover for the guide \u2013 or perhaps for its web-based version. Again, basing their work on one of the eight GIRFEC indicators, pupils were invited to draw, paint, collage, design or photograph what one of these words means to them. Niamh’s winning entry…….

About GIRFEC<\/strong>
\nAs children and young people progress on their journey through life, some may have temporary difficulties, some may live with challenges and some may experience more complex issues.
\nSometimes they \u2013 and their families \u2013 are going to need help and support.
\nNo matter where they live or whatever their needs, children, young people and their families should always know where they can find help, what support might be available and whether that help is right for them.<\/p>\n

The Getting it right for every child approach ensures that anyone providing that support puts the child or young person \u2013 and their family \u2013 at the centre.
\nGetting it right for every child is important for everyone who works with children and young people \u2013 as well as many people who work with adults who look after children. Practitioners need to work together to support families, and where appropriate, take early action at the first signs of any difficulty \u2013 rather than only getting involved when a situation has already reached crisis point. This means working across organisational boundaries and putting children and their families at the heart of decision making \u2013 and giving all our children and young people the best possible start in life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
