Getting it Right for Every Child<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The Scottish Government introduced ‘Getting it right for every child’ as the vehicle for achieving their social policy framework.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Getting it right for every child (GIRFEC) is a National approach, used throughout Scotland, to help ensure children, young people and their families get support to develop their wellbeing.<\/p>\n

Wellbeing is considered within eight indicators and here in North Lanarkshire we believe our children and young people have a right <\/em>to be; Safe, Healthy, Achieving, Nurtured, Active, Respected, Responsible and Included (SHANARRI) both at home and also in their nursery or school.<\/p>\n

Getting it right for every child (GIRFEC) helps ensure the right <\/em>support is offered at the right <\/em>time by the right<\/em> people and along the learning journey some<\/em> children or young people (or their families) may need a bit of extra support.<\/p>\n

For most children and young people the support they get from their families, local community and school enables them to grow up and become a responsible citizen, effective contributor, successful learner, confident individual and hopefully happy and healthy.<\/p>\n

GIRFEC helps ensure that we all work together to get things right.\u00a0 It’s important that adults know about GIRFEC but it’s also really important young people know as well.<\/p>\n

The Getting it right for every child<\/strong> toolkit is designed to support professionals in Lanarkshire with a responsibility for implementing any aspect of the programme.\u00a0The toolkit may also be of interest to other areas in Scotland.\u00a0It includes a combination of written reports, exemplars, graphic images, animations, assessment paperwork and digital resources which are the result of a three year development programme.<\/p>\n
