A UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) showcase held by Clacks Council took place earlier this month at Alloa Town Hall.

The event brought together a sample of schools, local authority services, and third-sector partners to demonstrate a collective commitment.

Organisers say that the event highlighted the strength of partnership working across Clackmannanshire and supports a pledge to create meaningful opportunities and deliver positive experiences for all children and young people in the county.

Councillor Graham Lindsay, Clackmannanshire Council’s spokesperson said: "Ensuring young people's voices are heard is critical to shaping an inclusive, integrated community.

"This is a real strength of our approach within education in Clackmannanshire, and this was very evident at the recent showcase at the town hall.

"It was inspiring to see how many confident, empowered young people are using their voice and positive influence to improve their school communities and local areas.

"Thanks to our educators and staff for supporting the young people and ensuring we uphold the UNCRC in Clackmannanshire."
