Throughout the session, pupils engage in a range of activities and initiatives which promote equality e.g. \u2018Show Racism the Red Card,\u2019 Nil by Mouth activities, Global citizenship, Black History Month, Human Rights\u2019 Day etc. Bargeddie Primary School has been awarded Silver Rights\u2019 Respecting School status. As part of this work, on a fortnightly basis, pupils learn more about children\u2019s rights and regularly discuss and debate current affairs which may impact on these rights. We hope that by engaging in this type of activity, our pupils will become responsible, caring, global citizens of the future, who respect and value the views, beliefs and cultures of others.<\/p>\n<p>In line with North Lanarkshire Council\u2019s policy, procedures are in place to monitor any racist incident. This may include counselling of pupils and \/ or written notification to parents. The school is committed to ensuring its policies and practices do not impact adversely on any particular group(s) of people and opportunities to promote equality are actively pursued. Pupil Equality and Diversity Champions feature within our school and strive to promote the importance of these key values amongst their peers.<\/p>\n<p>Implementation of North Lanarkshire Council\u2019s Equality and Diversity Policy and Equality Strategy 2019 \u2013 2024, forms the basis of our practice.
