Getting It Right For Girls (GIRFG) This input will be delivered by the Centre for Youth & Criminal Justice (CYCG) on 5 December (9.30am-12.30pm) at Council Chambers, Old Viewforth, Stirling. It is recognised that while common traits exist between girls and boys, there are marked differences, particularly in how they think and process feelings. The input will highlight the issues affecting girls and assist participants understand the causation of some behaviours influenced by gender, towards achieving a better understanding the needs of vulnerable and high risks girls. The target audience will be those working with vulnerable and high risk girls, including pupil support coordinators, children and families social work, including EEI, fostering and adoption etc, youth justice, residential care staff, school based police officers, managers of these teams and other key partners.
