🚨Appreciation post for Sebastian, a very special four-legged hero. 🏅 His incredible work supporting children and young people through court proceedings has been recognised. Alongside Megan, he provides comfort and reassurance when it's needed most.   Well done, Sebastian! ❤️🐶

We often hear use of 'if you leave I will kill myself' it's a category on the DASH risk assessment For those victims this is a very real burden. Because so often they love their abuser and may also have family with them The responsibility is never theirs to carry. Get help 📲 MAP

In 2022, Lagan Valley made history by electing two cross-community Alliance MLAs. Two years later, voters rejected 20 years of DUP representation in Westminster. Next May, keep moving forward, vote David Honeyford and Michelle Guy for a better, brighter, shared future for all.

.@NickDMathison dismantles DUP spin 🙂‍↔️ Reform of our education system must be done 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 teachers, not 𝙩𝙤 them. When our schools are raising serious concerns, the Education Minister must listen. That’s how we ensure our children receive the best education possible.

With five months of this mandate left, people want delivery, not party-political soap opera. Without a budget, vital financial support and pay for public workers is at risk. It’s time to put the politics aside, get a budget agreed and focus on delivering for people.

Such a talented young woman and a huge loss. Thoughts very much with her family and friends.

We have amazing businesses here & could play a key role in the UK's economic growth agenda. NI had a chance to champion them & with budget talks underway, make the case for fair funding to the PM face-to-face. The DUP have put party before people, again. Pathetic.

The DUP blocking participation in the Economic Forum is a reckless stunt. This was an opportunity to discuss fair funding for public services and public sector workers directly with the Prime Minister. Once again, the DUP’s selfish party political interest is being placed above the public interest. People are exhausted and deserve better than this endless soap opera of crisis and drama.

The Economic Forum tomorrow matters to the people of NI. That we won't be represented at a major UK conference to support NI because of the DUP's internal wranglings is not only disgraceful, but self-defeating, self-harming and short-sighted.

Be legal – you must have a fireworks licence and buy fireworks from a registered retailer. Be safe – follow the Firework Code. Be considerate – be aware of the elderly, vulnerable, pets and animals. Go to: nidirect.gov.uk/articles/fir… @Justice_NI @NIFRSofficial @PoliceServiceNI

Men and boys matter. The quality and consistency of care they receive matters. Use a specialist agency - because they deserve nothing less. The risk they live with deserves real and measured support because that risk is shared by the Agency once they tell their story @CVOCNI

Justice Minister @naomi_long has commented on a viable explosive device in Londonderry: "I condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms; it's abhorrent to think a viable device has been placed in the vicinity of families and young people celebrating Hallowe’en. (1)

Those responsible for this viable device have again shown reckless disregard for the community and businesses affected. Thanks to the police officers who responded, ensuring the public were kept safe. Theif courage is in stark contrast to those intent on destruction.
A security alert in the Ebrington Square area of Derry/Londonderry has now ended and an investigation has been launched. Full details here: orlo.uk/TRBW0
