Mental Health Mondays ♥︎

Today we’re sharing a graphic made by ObsessivelyEverAfter on Instagram.

Really important message about how Depression is not “all in your head” (which is a common misconception)

We hope you find it useful!

We welcome the introduction of a Bill to incorporate #UNCRC into Scots law.

Today's announcement is a significant moment in realising our shared vision of ensuring all children & young people growing up in Scotland have their human rights respected, protected and fulfilled.

Absolutely disgraceful, young peoples success shouldn't be determined by their postcode!

[Jackie Baillie @jackiebmsp]

In West Dunbartonshire 43.8% of Higher pupils had their results downgraded by the @SQA and for Advanced Highers it was 43.3%.

Teachers estimates of individual achievement ignored and a blanket approach by @SQA that lowers grades for those from working class areas #SQAshambles

[Dylan Murdoch MSYP @Dylan_MSYP]

Right so how is the SQA going to justify this discrepancy? because this is completely unacceptable.

⭐️Mental Health Monday’s: Exams & Stress

⭐️We wish all S4/5/6 pupils the best of luck for tomorrow. No matter the outcome, remember that there is no wrong path.

It's difficult, we know, but don't stay up too late. Try to get a decent sleep if you can. #SQAResults will be issued from 8am onward on Tuesday & depending on your phone or email provider, may take a wee while to arrive. Be patient, they will get to you! https://t.co/mZTnH6I7h9
