Recently the dialogue & debates about Justice in Scotland, are dogmatically steered & dominated by a few. Little of which reflect my values, knowledge or experience - professional & lived. Twitter is no longer the place for me. Thanks to all those lovely twitter friends I met x

[Gillian MacIntyre @GMacIntyre293]

Another plea to help us understand what community means to you.

[Allan Weaver @weaver_allan]

@KirstyMcnicol Ha, I have Kirsty ‘So You Think You Know Me”.

[Allan Weaver @weaver_allan]

@KirstyMcnicol I’m sure he will be Kirsty. It’ll be worth the graft & sacrifice :)

Every night I go on Twitter, Councillor @Anthea_Dickson is participating or volunteering in some local activity or event. This woman never stops giving of her time & support. An incredible example to each & every one of us.

[Allan Weaver @weaver_allan]

In all my time as a Justice SW this too has also surprised me greatly. Yes it’s as important & in some cases, even more important.

[The Prison Lawyer @ThePrisonLawyer]

It surprises me the number of prisoners who don’t instruct legal representation for their parole. It is as important has having representation at the Police station and at the Court. https://t.co/MBXfoqvY9k

@tonybonelegal @James_vru Perfect tweet to end the week Tony :)

[Gillian MacIntyre @GMacIntyre293]

Please help us with this. Tell us what ‘community’ means to you...

[Allan Weaver @weaver_allan]

@James_vru Ha, don’t I know it James. I hope all is well your end :)

[Allan Weaver @weaver_allan]

Some responses to this have actually been quite distasteful. As an ACE aware nation surely we are all entitled to an opinion on this & to me it encourages far wider thought & debate on the subject. This shouldn’t be a hindrance but a strength surely.

[ClacksEPS @ClacksEPS]

Article written by Whitney on the dangers of assuming ACE-awareness is enough to address the impact of childhood trauma.
