We want our children to feel safe in school, safe at home<\/strong> and safe in their community<\/strong>.\u00a0 \u00a0We want them to be the best they can be<\/strong> and to play a full and active part in their community<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Gaining the award will not make this happen.\u00a0 But the framework for the award helps us to focus on how children (rights holders<\/strong>) behave towards each other and how they are supported by adults (duty bearers<\/strong>).\u00a0 As a school community we need to use the award to do even more to help children to recognise where they are being denied their rights – often by other children<\/strong>.\u00a0 We need to use the award to further empower children to\u00a0act in ways which will improve their environment, their health, their learning and their safety<\/strong>.<\/p>\n We want to continue to lead in this work as it is fundamental to improving our school<\/strong> and improving the life chances<\/strong> of the young people who attend Harlaw Academy.<\/p>\n I want to thank everyone who worked on helping us gain the award and I look forward to working with everyone\u00a0as we take this work forward.\u00a0 Our new logo and our report are attached below:<\/p>\n
