Getting it right for every child at Birkhill

Over the past few months our Health and Wellbeing Committee have been carrying out a whole school survey based on the wellbeing indicators developed from the GIRFEC (Getting It Right For Every Child) approach.

These wellbeing indicators devised by the Scottish government, represent the basic requirements for all children and young people to grow and develop and reach their full potential. The 8 indicators, often shortened to SHANARRI are: Safe, Healthy, Active, Nurtured, Achieving, Respected, Responsible and Included.

We wanted to see if we were getting it right for every child at Birkhill so we asked a set of questions and asked pupils to explain their answers. This has helped us see what we are doing well and what we need to work on.

We created a display to show our responses:
