Today @NKBLScotland @YouthLinkScot publish their new report into violence between girls. We are grateful to @EmilyBeever for writing a blog for us on why it is vital to take a whole family approach to this issue. Important reading parentingacrossscotland.org/…

The Lassies are No Feart – understanding violence between girls in Scotland

No Knives, Better Lives' work and research into violence between girls has made it clear that it will be impossible to prevent youth violence without involving families.

"Any direction that Scotland takes in seeking to increase rather than reduce exclusions would be a grave error... Exclusions do not address the consequences of behaviour, it merely displaces it." Strong response to BISSR from @ThePromiseScot thepromise.scot/news/support…

Supporting Teachers to Care: Response to BISSR report and Ministerial Statement

Scotland must support school communities to flourish, as a part of the promise it made to children, families and the care experienced community.

In the discussion of relationships& behaviour in schools in @ScotParl this afternoon, only @_MWhitfield centred children and young people's perspective. The BISSR report didn't engage at all with children so although it tells us what, we know nothing more of why.

Children and young people MUST be involved at all levels going forward, including in the development of the National Action Plan, to better understand their challenges and to involve them in the solutions

Solutions must be rights-respecting, non-stigmatising and address the unmet needs of children and young people. Others will have more to say particularly on exclusions, the links with the justice system & the ambitions of #ThePromise @susanmcvie @Jimmypaul90 @fionathepromise

The best way to end the week - an interview with the amazing Agents for Change @jkmc3 ✨️ They asked about how @YouthLinkScot prioritises children's rights and which rights we could do better on. Their rights priorities were: 🛡 Protection from violence 💡Education 🪪 Identity

This is a very vulnerable piece for me. I wrote on my past work, being "the upskirting girl" and why I won't ever criminalise anything again, for the @guardian theguardian.com/commentisfre…

A woman has today been sentenced to 28 months in prison for ending her own pregnancy in England under a law passed before women even had the vote. It’s a very dark day for women’s reproductive rights in the U.K. theguardian.com/world/2023/j…

A pleasure to spend this evening with @Youth1stFife talking about #ChildrensRights ✨️ Lots of amazing rights-respecting practice happening but we also identified lots of rights that aren't being fulfilled for children and young people in Fife
Where are children's rights not being met in Fife/Scotland? This question is surrounded by yellow boxes with suggestions such as: child poverty; right to food; education for disabled children; bullying in schools; appropriate and suitable housing
