We said we'd be back to say hi one day + a promise is a promise. What we didn't expect was Micks Hut Preston to arrive at station later with hundreds of pounds worth of food+drink to give to the kids for free. Chips pizzas garlic bread + juice. Please retweet for these legends ❤️ – at Preston, England

These two young people confidently delivered a presentation to a roomful of panel members with their usual thoughtfulness, wit, and humour. Feedback from delegates was resoundingly positive - well done Dylan and Andrew!

🚆It’s full steam ahead for the #UNCRCScotland Bill!
@GOVUK has not challenged the Bill so it will now go for Royal Assent (final approval by the King)👑
🎂What a way to start 2024!

🏴's Children's Hearings System must facilitate continuity and consistency of decision-making.
Children and families have been saying that for a long time.
Much to build on from this response, and there is much much more to do. 👇

The words we use matter in hearings. We must use easy to understand language that makes sense to everyone.
Well done to Language Leaders at @OHOV_Scotland. What you hear in hearings matters.
