[Willie Rennie @willie_rennie]

The bill on the use of restraint and seclusion in schools is the result of over a decade on tenacious campaigning by Beth Morrison and others. It will bring guidance onto a statutory footing and give it the priority that it deserves.

Calum, Peter and I were at Scottish Parliament today for the stage 1 MSP debate for #CalumsLaw

Such a great day for Scotlands most vulnerable children.

Hugely grateful for all the support from everyone who came.

The bill PASSED to the next stage.

Appalling experience with @UberEats paid nearly £50 almost the whole order was wrong - app refunded me £10.40 and now won’t listen to anything else. I guess we are expected to eat what we didn’t order.

As parents who have campaigned for transparency, accountability and genuine reform in Scotland’s education system, we welcome this long overdue independent review of the GTCS Fitness to Teach process, and are hopeful the recommendations are adopted.

NEW:📢Report on @gtcs fitness to teach process finds some of its rules need to be reviewed to better protect the public - including the 'arbitrary' five-year limit on cases

It also says it needs ‘more effective public protection powers’ like suspension

@Heavy_Boab “the employer would appropriately investigate the matter” - how do they know that? In fact they know quite the opposite and have themselves said that trust in employers has been misplaced.

[Patricia Hewitt @YIMAN38111877]

“Education advisor Neil McLennan is one of four campaigners behind a petition being considered by MSPs, external, which is calling for an investigation into alleged mishandling of child safeguarding complaints by public bodies, including the GTCS”.
