We have been very busy over the last few weeks at REPAIR HQ but it's never too late to welcome our newly elected and re-elected MSPs.

The RRN is pleased to have developed a suite of resources aimed at delivering rights respecting support for pregnant autistic people. These resources were made possible thanks to funding from the Boshier Grant Scheme. Download the resources at restraintreductionnetwork.or…

#Oliverscampaign shame on @CarlCashman Who had told a head teacher to keep the noise down from the Special Needs kids in the playground because the neighbours don't like hearing them These children have as much right to play just like any other child liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liv…

Unpaid carers are not “Benefit Street.” We save the UK an estimated £184 billion a year while many survive on just £86.40 a week, often for 90 hrs of care @Helen_Whately @10DowningStreet @UKLabour @Conservatives @KemiBadenoch @CommonsWorkPen @LizKendallLab @CarersUK @CarersTrust

Great day out on the doors- lots of conversations, many postal votes already in and a clear view in South Edinburgh that after 19 years Scotland needs change!

Would you champion (along with everyone across the nation) and join survivors and campaigners of child sex abuse as we call for a minutes silence on the 16th of May at 3pm to remember all the children whose life’s have been taken or lost because of child abuse? We know so many people choose to turn their backs on this subject but this is a chance for the whole country to put all our politics aside and do something we have never done as a nation, put our children 1st, We are hoping communities across the nation can do it in their own areas..I am sure everyone will agree, this is something that is long overdue.. Let’s all come together and open our hearts in a minutes silence and put our children 1st. Are you with us? You can do this in your own house or with your own family or gather with friends in your own community and just give one minute to all those children whose lives have been taken from us. Hopefully this can help everyone start talking more and supporting all the brave survivors and campaigners more. Amen. 🙏

"The evidence does not support individual classroom assistant support as the best solution for every pupil with SEN," he said. Without 1:1 support our son would not be thriving and learning as he is today. Familiarity, trust, and feeling safe are all foundations of his learning.

Our son has co-occurring disabilities and depends on staff for all his needs. Instead of support, he was mechanically restrained, physically restrained, and secluded in a “Dark Room”. This is not care, this is harm. We need accountability in Education. #HarrysLaw

It’s been a long journey, I’m just delighted for @MorrisonBeth and @KateSanger4, they have been formidable in their quest for change. Their dedication is a real testament to a mother’s love and courage, they have renewed my hope, it’s all we’ve got. xx

@MorrisonBeth took 10 years to ensure this would happen #NeverGiveUo Scottish schools will be required to record every instance of pupil restraint or seclusion and notify parents within 24 hours, following the passage of landmark legislation uk.news.yahoo.com/calums-law…

Incredibly proud to have played my part in passing Callum’s law. @MorrisonBeth and Kate Sanger deserve huge credit in driving this forward and ensuring today could happen.

How wonderful to see people power (Never underestimate it!) stories in the news and especially when it's about making Scotland a safer place for children. Absolute shout out to @bethmorrison and her fabulous team on the passing of #CalumsLaw Persistence and compassion are everything and Beth has shown that in bucket loads in her long and dedicated campaign. #childrensrights bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckgr…

When our son didn’t have 1:1 provision, he was strapped to a chair for convenience. Mechanical restraint replaced human support, this had a profound impact on his emotional, psychological and physical wellbeing. This is an attack on SEND, stripping them of support. #HarrysLaw
