Cadder Primary’s Buddy Bench Promotes Inclusion

Lodged by Bob Doris (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 17 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the great work of the nurture group at Cadder Primary School in the Glasgow Maryhill and Springburn constituency in securing, designing and painting "Buddy Benches" for the school playground; notes that these benches serve as a place for children who feel lonely, sad or upset in the playground to sit and be greeted by a friend or be in a supportive environment to be comforted; welcomes the highly successful grand opening of these benches on 20 June 2019; highlights a related video on Twitter in which the children of the nurture group and Rainbow Room excitedly explain and reveal how their clever and thoughtful ideas came to fruition; recognises that this initiative promotes inclusion within the school and helps children to feel supported, nurtured and grow in confidence, and congratulates all involved on their great work, including the children, as well as their teachers and families, for encouraging such creatively and thoughtfulness among the school community.
