intandem is a mentoring programme for young people looked after at home, funded by @scotgov and delivered locally by partners @children1st and @argyllandbute
‘It’s time to move on’ says government that’s worked harder to safeguard one man’s job in three days than it has to protect frontline workers and care home residents in three months.
Riddle of the day!
I run through hills; I veer around mountains. I leap over rivers and crawl through the forests. Step out your door to find me.

Good grief, you’ve got to seriously question good old British politics, as an unelected government advisor gives a briefing on himself. Wonder who’s advising him? 🙈
@jen_mckean Much needed, girls being in control about what is important to them like the right to dignity, the right to access basic essentials and the right to universal respect for their bodies and their voice.

Thanks! A total privilege to have helped support a relationship based approach to intandem's unique mentoring programme for Looked After Children Living at Home. Listening to what's happened to children,,tells us so much about what works. @juliakarenabel@intandemScot
More than 1 in 4 children are living in poverty in Scotland today. Families tell us that they are overwhelmed, by the practical struggles to pay for things they need, the emotional drain and stress, and the effect it can have on the whole family #ChallengePoverty#AyeWeCan
We did it! 🎉 @JohnFinnieHI #SPEqualProtection Bill has passed with 84 votes to 29 😀
A huge thanks to all of our partners and colleagues who have worked tirelessly over many years to protect children in Scotland from all forms of violence.

@personaloutcom1 @Maryalice1M @recoveryjohn1@brien_lynne@GMacIntyre293@LizGourlay@SSSCnews @LauraSteckley @lauralennox6 Great work . Was a privilege to hear what connects these staff and young peoples' stories
Alongside each other's need for connection is hope for compassion and kindness... and the level of human resources required to make people feel safe and loved.
