  • Lenzie Meadow Nursery Policy on Complaints
    Lenzie Meadow Nursery Lenzie Meadow Nursery Policy on Complaints It is clearly of paramount importance that the nursery should run smoothly and that parents and staff work together in a spirit of cooperation in the children’s best interests. In the event of complaints from either staff or parents every effort will be made to respond quickly and appropriately and the following procedure will be followed: If a parent feels that he/she has cause for complaint they should feel able to speak to any member of staff. This invitation is included bi-annually in the nursery newsletters. Where a complaint is made to staff, the Depute Head of Centre or Senior Early Years Worker should be informed immediately. Serious complaints must be reported to the Head Teacher. Formal written complaints will be responded to within 20 days. The Head Teacher will advise the parent/s of East Dunbartonshire’s Complaints Policy and procedures. The Depute Head of Centre and Head Teacher will respond to any complaint as quickly as possible. They will talk with staff and parents to overcome the problem. Complaints will be recorded and dated in the Complaints Book. After a complaint has been resolved the final outcome will be written in the Complaints Book. Any recommendations for changes in procedure will be made and noted. It is clearly understood that parents have the right to phone the Education Department after talking to the Head Teacher if they feel that they have not received a satisfactory response to their complaint. Complaints by a member of staff will be dealt with by the Head Teacher.

  • Kirkintilloch Is a Small Scottish Town That Sits by the Roman Wall, and We’Re the Canal Capital of Scotland
    Kirkintilloch is a small Scottish town that sits by the Roman Wall, and we’re the Canal Capital of Scotland. “The stories we can tell can be the messengers that bring complex global issues into focus and align them with the programme work of our Federations and clubs”, as Sharon Fisher, our International President has said. But the stories we hear of senseless acts of racism as well as blatant violence against peaceful BLM demonstrators and attacks against freedom of speech are all depressing and sickening, so Sharon’s Open Letter is a powerful response to that. Today’s story is one about SI Kirkintilloch & District’s Project for Peace and international goodwill: Jasmine and Thistle 1 In June 2017, member Melanie was President of Scotland South Region and for her theme ‘REACHING OUT’ she interviewed Sana’a AlWadi, a recently arrived Syrian refugee. She is a clinical psychologist, and despite being a refugee herself, she had offered therapy to trauma victims in the Jordanian Refugee Camp through the Charity, “Syria Bright Future”. This exceptional woman in her late thirties had arrived alone with five children without her husband who was overseas. Melanie very gently and sensitively helped Sana’a overcome the language barrier and supported her to tell a little of her story. It soon became clear that Sana’a's vision fitted in many respects with the aims of Soroptomisim, made feasible by the arrival of 4 Syrian families in our area . This created the potential to put into practice SI's principles of Human Rights, Social and Economic Justice, Equality, Peace and International Goodwill and to transform the lives of women and girls.
