@EducationScot As much as I think there is a tonne of work from schools for children. I think young people are being failed. How many educators incl v well paid top educators does it take to get it right for S3+? How long do our YP have to wait?

@MattHancock Staying 6 feet apart means all of you staying 6 feet away from another person. Stop touching people.... even with your elbow.

“If… I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect… I will fire you on the spot.”

President Biden tells his new appointees he won’t tolerate bullying in his administration - and expects them to restore “decency and dignity, that’s been missing… for the last four years”.

“I watch as kids float seamlessly from the care system, to the justice system and then to the prison system. This cruel conveyor belt needs to stop. Only then will Scotland hv a truly just legal system, one that has its foundations in compassion.”

@Pauline_Latham a lot of children rec free school meals often only get one meal a day and that’s at school. To say on @Channel4News this eve that the (poor excuse) for a a meal currently being provided is ‘just for lunch’ shows a woeful lack of understanding of poverty in the uk

@mgsonline It would be good to know if live sessions were going to be part of MGS plan. Families have to sort out technology and plan for demand on bandwidth to support teaching whilst balancing work meetings.

I have been asked through evidence to Scottish Parliament on domestic abuse to provide examples of good practice where ‘children’s views have been given in court in relation to existing legislation’. Please contact me directly or at [email protected] Please retweet - Thanks

@HielanFling @scotgov I assume you’ll be opting out of the A&E queue if you need it too. Great ! Leaves more room for those may need it because folks like you can’t take simple guidance.

[Police Scotland @PoliceScotland]

As of 29/03/20, 1,669 domestic abuse offences had been recorded under the new Domestic Abuse (Scotland) Act, which covers a range of coercive and controlling behaviours.

We'll respond to all reports of domestic abuse. Phone 101 to report and 999 in an emergency.
