Education Forum March 2022
Topic: Education
Author: CELCIS
The latest CELCIS Education Forum was held online on Wednesday 30 March on the theme of using Scotland's Secure Care Pathway and Standards to improve educational outcomes for children and young people.
We were delighted to welcome our speakers:
- Beth-Anne Logan, Promise Development Worker, North Lanarkshire Council
- Ruby Whitelaw, Practice Development Advisor - Secure Care, Children and Young People's Centre for Justice (CYCJ)
- Kenny Collins, Head of Education, The Good Shepherd Centre
- Leona Donnelly, Depute Head of Education, The Good Shepherd Centre
Our speakers offered insights into the Secure Care Pathway and Standards, which set out what all children in or on the edges of secure care in Scotland should expect across the continuum of intensive supports and services, and provide a framework for ensuring the rights of children are respected.
Attendees heard how the Standards have been developed and implemented. We had have an opportunity to share the challenges faced, and to think and discuss together about what we can do to make a difference to educational outcomes for children in, or on the edges of secure care, by applying the Standards.
