📢 We're urging @scotgov to help #EndYoungParentPoverty with a Scottish Child Payment top-up.

💔 Poverty is pushing young families to the brink.

👎 But @dwpgovuk pays parents <25 less Universal Credit!

⏰ Children can't wait for this to change.

[Beth Morrison @MorrisonBeth]

In 2010, 4 staff in Calums "special school" restrained him face down.

His injuries were horrendous.

He wet himself, so they forced him into a chair and stood over him with an egg timer as punishment

He doesn't want any child to suffer the way he did.

Will be following and contributing where possible to the progression on this very important matter. Enough is enough. #InSafeHandsYet?

[Jan Savage @Jan_SHRC]

✋As @scotgov consultation on physical restraint in schools closes; 3 years since our campaign, we @ENABLEScotland ask - are children #InSafeHandsYet?

✋We stand with @MorrisonBeth calls for legally binding action to end this abuse of children’s rights https://t.co/uqy6DGrRzu

[Iona M @iona_enable]

Lucky to work for the best manager and a great team of people ☺

[Jan Savage @Jan_SHRC]

Great morning spent at Pollok Park, with some of our young people testing out the interactive devices at @burrellcollect finished with some cow spotting 🐮 days out are a great way to practice using public transport, socialising and dressing for the weather!! ☔

Thank you Amber & Chloe for another great dance class. We really work up a sweat 😰 @includeme2club
