What is the group for?

The pupil group we are building will make sure that children and young people can help make decisions and changes which affect them in Falkirk Council schools and communities.

Why do we need a children and young person’s group?

You might have heard about the UNCRC in the news or in school? (Click here for more information about the UNCRC) This is an international convention or law which says that from 1 November 2021, all schools, local authorities, groups and organisations need to show how they obey each part of the UNCRC. If you haven’t already heard about this in school, you will do soon!

How can you find out more about joining this group?

That’s simple – join one of our information meetings! These will be short, online Microsoft Teams meetings and there will be one each day during September 2021 (times below).  Please let your teacher know that you want to join a meeting so that they can help you take part. At the video meeting the Falkirk Council adults who are leading this work will tell you more and you can ask questions. They will also explain how you can join the group if you like what you hear!

 

 

We look forward to meeting you then.
