The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Dylan Cossans, aged 14, from Johnshaven as he receives the Hannah Dyson award for bravery at a ceremony hosted by Stonehaven and District Community Council; notes that Dylan received his award after the school taxi that he was travelling in was involved in a road accident; understands that the second year pupil at Mackie Academy ignored his own pain and confusion to pull the other occupants, including a vulnerable pupil, to a safe area before attempting to wake the driver and escort him to safety before calling the emergency services; further understands that the Hannah Dyson award is given to a young person who is under 18 years of age and who has attained outstanding youth achievement, excellence or merit in one of the following areas: academic or sporting success, an act of bravery, outstanding caring or community service, special achievement despite limitations imposed by hardship, disability or long-term illness or any other appropriate kind of excellence, and applauds Dylan for what it sees as his selfless bravery in exceptional circumstances.
