A transcription of the words from the video is as follows:
Every child and young person in Scotland is on a journey through life: experiencing rapid development and change as they make the transition from childhood through adolescence and into adulthood.
As they progress, some may have temporary difficulties, some may live with challenges that distract them on their journey and some may experience more complex issues. No matter where they live or whatever their needs, children and families should know where they can find help, what support might be available and whether that help is right for them. We all want our children and young people to be fully supported as they grow and develop to be: - Healthy … experiencing the highest standards of physical and mental health, and supported to make healthy safe choices
- Achieving … receiving support and guidance in their learning - boosting their skills, confidence and self-esteem
- Nurtured … having a nurturing and stimulating place to live and grow
- Active …offered opportunities to take part in a wide range of activities - helping them to build a fulfilling and happy future
- Respected … to be given a voice and involved in the decisions that affect their wellbeing
- Responsible … taking an active role within their schools and communities
- Included ... receiving help and guidance to overcome social, educational, physical and economic inequalities;
- Accepted as full members of the communities in which they live and learn
- And above all, to be safe … protected from abuse, neglect or harm
We want our children and young people to be successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens.
