Scotland has a real opportunity today. To protect, promote & uphold the rights of ALL children.
There are so many children I have met along my journey whose lives could’ve been so different had this bill been in place.
Maybe, even some of them could still be alive.
Let’s do this

Today and tomorrow will see the Scottish Parliament debate, and hopefully pass, the groundbreaking Children’s Care and Justice Bill.

Formal complaint submitted to @EssexPoliceUK . Feel free to onward share. We await our response. In solidarity with all the parents who have asked for this image to be removed without any response. The whole thing is an utter outrage.

Can't get this disgraceful post out if my head. Can you point me to where the legal definition of childhood (under-18) is discounted by experiences of violence? I am making a formal complaint to @EssexPoliceUK. Such views create systems that harm rather than protect our children

2 years has flown by! Are you being innovative in your approach to delivering these standards? Do you need a little support to do so? Then either way get in touch with @RubyWhitelaw1! There’s no such thing as a daft question.
