Yesterday we joined the Education, Children and Young People Committee at Scottish Parliament alongside LAs and charities to shout about the truly positive impact of family support services which change lives. 📣The key message: We know early intervention and prevention works but we need to invest in it.

📸 Last week Carolyn Godfrey, VP of the Methodist Church and key supporters, visited our Roots of Empathy session in Glasgow. She saw first-hand the impact of children learning about emotions and behaviour helped by a baby teacher. How cute is our teacher baby Rosie?! ⭐

It was great to join sector partners this week including CYCJ Scotland and ScotGov Justice in Edinburgh to discuss the Age of Criminal responsibility. We spoke about how to raise community confidence including a clearer narrative on our joint response to youth behaviour.

A few snaps from The Oversight Board event in Scottish Parliament last night. Our youth forum, InVoice, enjoyed meeting Ministers & asking questions important to them about housing, mental health & whether we'll #KeepThePromise by 2030. What a great experience!
