Read @margl24.bsky.social's statement on the latest child protection statistics. We're calling for an urgent national conversation between Scottish Government, social work, the third sector and key partners about what needs to change to keep children safe. ➡️

A massive shift in the #UNCRC Committee today with the departure of several members, including the wonderful Ann Skelton and Mikiko Otani who have both led it so brilliantly at different points during the last 8 years. Chapeau and gratitude to them both for all they have done for #childrights!

Great to hear @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social take importance of reading to children beyond attainment to its impact on happiness and wellbeing. Childhood - a time where habits of a lifetime begin, both +ve & -ve #itsallaboutrelationships #humanrights #culturechange @childrensparliament.bsk.social

I miss Valentina & her kiosk. I miss her positivity & warm-heartedness. Valentina has been undergoing cancer treatment. To cheer her up I turned the Valentina’s Kiosk theme into a song & the legendary BBC Singers
have recorded it for her. Here is Valentina’s Song. Conducted by David Hill.

Really pleased to see this issue get in-depth coverage. I have two kids with ASN and despite their school being brilliant (we’re v lucky) it’s operating in a wider system that’s struggling and that has a big impact.
Starting on Monday, The Herald is running a series of special reports on additional support needs in schools.

We've spoken to struggling parents, heard from experts, and analysed more data than ever before.

Don't miss it.

This is a phenomenal report from @ulgrid.bsky.social & the team @together-sacr.bsky.social. Not only an absolute joy to read & showing how the voices of even the very youngest children can be captured but clear ideas for change to better uphold children’s rights & help Scotland keep its promise ❤️
A critical overview of where Scotland is at with regards to protecting children’s rights.

#SOCRR2024 has contributions from babies, young children and older children, all with different experiences and identities.. and crucially, in their own words.

Well done to the team and all who contributed.
NEW REPORT 📢

We've launched a powerful report with stories from 220 babies, children & young people, one year since the UNCRC Act passed.

Their stories show where rights are making a difference - and where urgent action is needed.

Read it, share it!
