.@BeinnGrantMSYP as usual hitting the nail on the head. If we aren’t offering young people the chance to develop, and back this up with effective supports and mental health services, no wonder we’re seeing such high rates of absence, truancy, and exclusion. Rethink is needed.
"I think we need to do a better job of engaging young people in why what they're learning is important." - Beinn Grant MSYP Watch this week's evidence session with @OfficialSYP:

@Emmi_j3 @jamietheweegie @easyJet There’s 2 Glasgow to Bristol flights tonight, so I reckoned if I didn’t move and they were eventually cancelled, it would be fastest finger first to rebook to get on the only flight there tomorrow 😅 Crazy times

@Emmi_j3 @jamietheweegie @easyJet Same situation for Bristol - originally 4.30pm but delayed to 8pm. Managed to get through to their live chat after almost 2 hours waiting, and they offered me a free transfer. One minute later, Glasgow Airport’s app is saying it’s cancelled whilst easyJet still says it’s delayed.

Great to be at this morning’s Charter of Rights launch 🚀💬 Having contributed to a session last year, and now working with colleagues on a new strategy on substance stigma, it’s clear that further action must taken from this including the introduction of the Human Rights Bill.
This morning we're at the launch of the National Collaborative Charter of Rights for people affected by substance use Looking forward to hearing from @ScotGovFM and the UN High Commissioner for #HumanRights But we do need to #BringBackTheBill to see these rights enforced

This may be the most unhinged thing I’ve ever seen. Neurodevelopmental services are collapsing across the UK
already had my assessment and diagnosis but just received this email from the service i was going through when i lived in oxford three years ago (still on the nhs). if you were to be referred now you’d have to wait until 2043

Proud to be featuring on tonight’s @STVNews at Six, talking with @LauraAlderman_ here at the @NCDAllianceScot about the impact of alcohol and vapes on young people, and how inequalities can further widen these impacts.

@sophielouisecc Had you actually read the article, you’d have noticed they had previously worked as a civil servant amongst other jobs, but then developed several disabilities. Do you therefore not believe disabled people should receive state support; is that not what the welfare state is for?
