I’ve had the most amazing first day at #SYP80 in Aberdeen! I loved proposing a committee motion on behalf of @EducationSYP, leading the ELL committee session, and then facilitating a consultation workshop on school-aged childcare. Getting excited for #SYPAwards23 tonight!

Today is #WorldTeachersDay! We know that teachers are vital to our education and so, to thank them, a few of our committee members have thanked a teacher that means a lot to them! To all the teachers out there, thank you!

So proud of our MSYP’s for spreading awareness about Educational Attainment! Inclusion is one of SYP’s top priorities, and we want to see that extended to all those we work with to make sure that seldom heard voices are heard and valued in the education system! #SYPCampaigns

As young people across Scotland go back to school this week, we need decision-makers to take a rights-based approach to education. To do this, we should embed Article 29 of the UNCRC into the system to give young people an education that fully develops them. #SYPCampaigns #UNCRC

New blog on @OfficialSYP website! the #RightToRest campaign by the YCYAC Advisory Group aims to give all young carers access to respite and short breaks, which is so important because every young carer deserves time to themselves
