Soul-seeker, feminist & HR activist, trying to be a wordmonger for change - still a story maker, listener & cabaret diva at heart. Views all my very own...etc
@ScotRail could you let me know if/how rail stations are managed and if safeguarding vulnerable young women in distress very late at night in rail stations in Scotland is considered at all? Thanks - please message me privately if that suits you better than an open reply.

#16Days We have developed a series of companion documents aimed to support people working across different policy areas to strengthen their understanding of trauma-informed approaches. These include domestic abuse, alcohol and drugs, and mental health: https://t.co/WCVcx7paze
#16Days Our Trauma work supports stakeholders to embed a trauma-informed approach. Trauma is everyone’s business and all members of the workforce have a role to play in understanding and responding to people affected by trauma. Access our trauma briefings: https://t.co/mam14D365J
Experiences of violence against women and girls can have a significant impact on women's mental health and can cause long-term trauma. A trauma-informed approach can support recovery for women and girls impacted by VAWG. #16Days#WhatNext
Councils spend around £570m on culture and sport services. If current spending plans don’t change, these services could be forced to find savings of around £40m #SaveOurServices#BudgetSOS

Had fabulous pre-Christmas family day out - all was wonderful except from the ‘joke’ in the @lyceumtheatre’s A Christmas Carol about pushing one’s spouse of the crags. Really????? 60% rise in domestic homicides and this is ‘funny’?

Heartbreaking piece on @Channel4News tonight. My heart goes out to Jesse & Phyllis her Mother. Like @jessphillips said we need urgent action & have for so long. And as @JMoncktonSmith stated more like 10 women a week rather than 2 #suicide#substancemisuse https://t.co/yctVUhjQSX
