Powerful presentation at @SACCHScotland tonight from @MAVscotland - 50k young people have given their voices and experiences to help deliver change. Violence prevention is a human rights issue, and there is much more to do.

“I didn’t think this life was possible” says a young man from Glasgow whose early experience was poverty, violence and addiction. “My earliest memory was fear”. Now giving an eloquent and powerful presentation to @SACCHScotland as a proud father and #HumanRightsDefender.

Powerful presentation from @callum2591 to @SACCHScotland highlighting his journey from feeling that nobody was listening to becoming a #HumanRightsDefender “no reward has been more powerful than being able to be a good dad”. @MAVscotland @mairi_stark @vruscotland @Prev_Justice

No reward has been greater to Callum than being able to be a good Dad. The cycle has been broken. Inspiring and motivating talk by Callum tonight to @SACCHScotland. Amazing work by @NavigatorsScot and @MAVscotland
You meet a 5yo. His parents have transmitted their trauma on to him through no fault or their own. There is addiction & domestic violence in the home. You feel sorry for the young lad. You want him to be safe. 11 year later you want to lock him up and throw away the key.

Given the uncertainty surrounding Covid-19 and impact it will have on work and home commitments in the coming weeks, the decision has been made to postpone the SACCH & BACD Conference 2020 until later in 2020. @SACCHScotland

Everybody's sensory systems develop at different rates, and some people are more sensitive to certain sensory information than others. This is perfectly normal. Check out Joining in with Sensory Differences for more information. nhsggc.org.uk/kids/life-skil…

A boy born in one of the most deprived areas of Scotland between 2015 and 2017 will live for 13 fewer years than a boy from the most affluent areas. Sad stats from National Records for Scotland today. #childhealthmatters
