Getting it right for every child in the classroom and nursery

Getting it right for every child is a national programme that is informing how adults think and act to help all children and young people grow, develop and reach their full potential.

The programme will build on existing good practice to ensure that children reach their full potential. It will support services to work effectively together for the benefit of all children and young people, families, communities and the services themselves.

The role and contribution of teaching staff is central to the programme which aims to change culture, systems and practice across children's services. The session will present positive examples of how teaching staff and the whole school community is embarking on the Getting it right for every child approach and exploring further the benefits of working in partnership with other professionals.

It will show how the links between Getting it right for every child and Additional Support for Learning are having a positive impact. This practical session will be led by teaching staff from GIRFEC pathfinder areas.

It will specifically examine what changes were made (if any), how they were implemented, how stronger connections were established with other children's services and what lessons were learned at grass roots level.
