Not everyone will be celebrating or observing Christmas in the same way that many do.
However you celebrate, we hope this season is filled with light, love, and connection.
Merry Christmas, and all the best for 2025 💛

Some parents report the UNCRC is being weaponised against them, used as a tool to exclude marginalise rather than protect children’s rights. The phrase- watch out for the parent' echoes through corridors, creating a culture of mistrust with devastating consequences for children

The joint Scottish Government and CoSLA statement issued on the 10th of December stated a commitment to working together to restore teacher numbers to 2023 levels next year. @GlasgowCC can now end our dispute by providing written assurances that they will honour this commitment.

‘37% of our young people now have an identified support need. In a class of 32, that’s 12 pupils. The challenges are significant. Our teachers are supporting education with unpaid labour to cover the cracks.’ Andrene Bamford (EIS) #EISASN

‘Mainstreaming is the right policy but if we can’t support it properly then we are not going to see these children thrive. Proper resourcing will help to provide quality education for everyone.’ Keir Greenaway (GMB) at #EISASN

Susan Quinn at #EISASN event tonight @ScotParl. ‘The Stand Up 4 Quality Education campaign launched at the 2023 AGM. It was recognised then that there were 3 key areas of work that needed to be improved in education to make things better for staff and by default the young people they worked with. Alongside ASN came workload and behaviour. We’re focusing tonight on ASN, but these three areas weave together so closely.’
