“The wilful destruction of Sure Start and the reductions of children’s benefits after 2010 has set back opportunities for millions of children’s futures. That’s why our country desperately needs a new Sure Start.”

A real-terms decrease of 2.8% (£619 million) for Scottish local authorities will mean a cold wind blowing for the Scottish third sector and hard times for citizens who rely on that support. We so badly need an equitable funding regime for the third sector in Scotland @TSIScotNet
Whilst no council was at immediate financial risk in 2022/23, there’s no certainty this will continue. An agreement with @scotgov to secure a sustainable, longer-term funding arrangement to deliver local services is all the more urgent.

Sobering news from the 2024 Scottish Homelessness Monitor: homelessness set to soar by a third over the next 2 years. @scotgov must act urgently to live up to its ambition of an equal+fair Scotland. Having a safe, warm and secure place to call home is utterly important. (1/n) 🧵

Happy Winter Solstice! I am very ready for a bit more sunshine in my day with a gentle nod towards the wonder of wintering. Go gently - complicated time of year and all that…

It’s hard to explain what it is like in services that support children & families at this time of year. A passionate & committed but weary children’s services workforce holding all the joy, the loss, the hope, & the hurt with & for families. No other job comes close imho.

I am *still* hearing about school proudly announcing their plans to build flexible, open-plan learning spaces with no walls etc, and my advice to anyone thinking about doing this is do not do this.

"We cant be saying community & mean cliques. Community building isn’t aesthetics & vibes. Its building solidarity across struggles, its intergenerational & outside ppl like us/comfort zones. Times are too urgent to not find ways to advance each other’s liberations"

This really resonated today. Grateful to work with some very genuine, skilled and insightful people who are working hard to support children and young people who have experienced trauma. This is a complicated time of year & #wintering is upon us. Talking things through helps ☺️

Excited to be sharing some of the early findings from this @NuffieldFound funded S.25 project with @BLLoughDennell and Micky Anderson. Still time to be involved if you have experience of 'Voluntary' care arrangements! 👉celcis.org/vca
NEW: In this new blog post about findings from research on voluntary care arrangements in Scotland, @BobBPorter, Research Lead at CELCIS, and @BLLoughDennell, Research Associate at CELCIS, discuss what parents have shared so far about their experiences: ow.ly/kW0F50QcP2a

The level of resources required to take children to medical appointments is massive.Time away from work,transport,all the magic needed to contain a nervous wee person,supporters who can contain & support me etc. How parents who have to do this more regularly manage is astounding

It was my honour to visit Bairns Hoose today 🧸 @children1st
The work they do to support victims and their families is absolutely incredible.
I want to thank all of the fantastic staff at Bairns Hoose for all that they do.

My wee maw is safe out of surgery. Didn’t realise how nervous I was. Diabetes, high blood pressure etc etc. As always, grateful for @nhsfife and the skilled team around her. Now to navigate recovery with a woman who thinks a wire brush and dettol solves all #ScottishMaws #IYKYK
