Health and Wellbeing Assignment “The Getting it Right for Every Child (GIRFEC) approach, as illustrated in the eight indicators in the Wellbeing wheel, recognises that children and young people will have different experiences in their lives, but every child and young person has the right to expect appropriate support from adults to allow them to grow and develop and reach their full potential” (Scottish Government, 2016, p.3).
