A huge thank you to @ScotParl staff and MSPs for welcoming us last week.
We loved showcasing how data-driven insight can drive whole-household solutions to tackle poverty.
Excited to deepen collaboration in communities that need it most! #SocialImpact#povertysolutions
Thanks to @reformscotland for the platform.
Too many people experience services as a maze of conditions, referrals and missed opportunities. Poverty isn’t inevitable - but we have to design systems that help people out, not hold them in. Grateful to share our perspective.
We were proud to host a powerful roundtable in Durham this week — full of passion, lived experience & drive for change.
Next stop: Northumbria on 29 May. Join us for more honest discussion & collaboration 👉 https://t.co/r1lNohTqwJ

My @heraldscotland column on the new earlier release legislation: a step in the right direction, but so much more to be done to reverse the damage of sentence inflation, and to make meaningful rehabilitation possible. https://t.co/7J3Om0E7xB

@Scotonomics1@JohnSwinney@ScotGovFM@RoyalSocEd@scotgov Agree re CP focus. Great to see . My contention is not seeing it in action. @JohnSwinney strong belief in way forward (which I welcome) needs to be put into action and quick .We need more ‘doing’ . SG bods have retrenched to acute risk averse behaviours ,contradicting ambition
Great insights from @JohnSwinney@ScotGovFM at @RoyalSocEd this morning on ‘progress’, ‘collaboration’, & ‘activist government’. Now, let’s see these ambitions mirrored in action by all across @scotgov ! 💪 #ActionSpeaks”
