Good to see @HRwritesnews amplifying Holly's brave voice and the issues that should really matter to us all - the protection of children. Or, for Holly and so many others, the failure to protect. As one of the #PE1979 petitioners, the 'mishandling' of child abuse concerns echoes those shared by whistleblowers & survivors. Holly asks an important question...'How can you say that you protect children if you're not willing to look at what's been going on for decades?' And, still is! It's why we continue to call for independent investigation of allegations relating to the mishandling of child abuse concerns by public bodies and an independent national whistleblowing office for education and children's services. #childrensrights #righttobesafe #safeguarding #whistleblowing

Da iawn to our amazing Year 6 cyclists who have completed their Cycling Proficiency tests this week. Not even pouring down rain could stop them being the best they can be! Diolch yn fawr to Nathan and Steve for helping our children become #bcastars #righttobesafe

What will be your legacy? This is our Q to members of the Citizen Participation & Public Petitions Committee ahead of their next consideration of our petition (date tbc). For 3 long years, #PE1979 has been in the petitions system and petitioners have raised serious allegations about mishandled child abuse & #safeguarding concerns by public bodies - with links across cases. Still today, #whistleblowers (in their broadest sense) and #survivors continue to come to us for support and to help their voices be better heard. The committee have supported an independent national whistleblowing office for education and children's services but the SG have been defensive in response to their cross-party recommendation. On 8th October, the Cttee decided to again write to them. The decision to be made is whether PE1979 - and its calls to better keep children safe - should be a legacy petition for the new 2026 parliament. Or, if it will be back to the drawing board with a fresh petition. Whilst petitioners are frustrated at the already lengthy process, we need the committee & #MSPs across the parliament to build on the progress, the growing support and to better hold the SG to account for realising the petition's calls. Help us to address the power imbalances and prevent public bodies marking more of their own and their multi-agency partner's homework. Help us through independent investigation and an INWO to better establish the safeguarding truth and ensure systems and personnel that best keep our children safe. We encourage more MSPs to get in touch and are here for any whistleblowers or survivors.

Alongside @LSRPlaid & @rightsofwomen, we submitted amendments to the Employment Rights Bill which would require employers to take steps to prevent violence and harassment in the workplace. We urge the government to support these amendments to protect everyone's #RightToBeSafe.

🔗 Despite attempting to portray an understanding, in my experience Thames Valley Police breached a number of personal boundaries. An example of this is delivering evidence to the wrong house & taking zero responsibility/ accountability for their actions #16Days #RightToBeSafe

🔗 since 2008, I have been 1 in 5... 🙅🏻‍♀️ there is nothing flattering or pleasant about somebody monitoring your every move & obsessing over every detail of your life... it’s illegal, uncomfortable & stalking is sinister & nefarious… #16Days #RightToBeSafe

🔗 Only 1.7% of reports of stalking to the Police end in a conviction. Victims feel invalidated by the Police due to their lack of understanding & unwillingness to act. They share personal information & leave victims exposed ⚠️ #16Days #RightToBeSafe
