The Scottish Government has produced a draft of updated Guidance on Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood (RSHP) Education in Scottish Schools.
The Bishops have asked us to respond with our concerns.

🏊‍♂️The UK Govt made funding available to the Scottish Govt to help support our swimming pools and keep them open.

❌Yet the SNP kept it to themselves and now pools across Scotland like Bucksburn are closing. They must do the right thing and pass on that funding to councils now.

Reaction to West Lothian Pool Closures

Scottish Swimming is deeply shocked and disappointed by West Lothian Council’s decision yesterday to proceed with the closure of three West Lothian swimming pools on 31stAugust this year, despite protests from the local communities.

I found that the best part about Caritas was connecting with the people around me, learning more about them and myself in the process. I would definitely recommend participating in this award with your best foot forward.

"Having the opportunity to be a Caritas student was a blessing in so many ways. The Caritas Award opened a variety of opportunities for us to unite as a school and give back to the community. There's no better sense of joy than to do the best you can for someone else.

@GavinWilliamson This one is clearly about teachers and not unions, you snivelling, duplicitous man.

LA Secretary Heather Hughes addressing West Lothian’s teachers!
“Pay us a fair wage”, she says.

West Lothian’s teachers have vacated their classrooms today, not because they want to…because they have to!

[EIS West Lothian @EISWestLothian]

An amazing turnout to the West Lothian rally this morning. If this doesn’t make @COSLA and @scotgov #PayAttention then…we’ll be forced to vacate our classrooms again!

[EIS @EISUnion]

The FM says in her @BBClauraK interview that since 2018, teachers have had more than 20% increase in their salary.
Wrong.
Since 2018, teachers received a 13% uplift (2018-21), and a 2.2% uplift in 2021-22. No uplift has been paid in 2022-23.

[Stephen Kerr MSP @RealStephenKerr]

Just asked the First Minister what she is doing to bring the teachers strike to an end.

Unsurprisingly, she talked about the UK Government. #FMQs

I NEED EVERY FOLLOWER TO RT THIS

Your local postie is facing the most important week ever.

They are facing intimidation, threats and bullying from an out of control management team.

They will strike for 2 days to save the service and their jobs.

Are you with them?
