Had my first outside of the rules family reunion appeal last month and just found out that it’s been allowed. So happy that my client can be reunited with her elderly mother 😊🥰

Posted in the Rape Crisis Slack channel to see if anyone could swap shifts with me. Got this private message… How’s everyone else’s Monday going 😂😂

Does anyone know of anywhere in Glasgow who can provide food/toiletries for someone whose benefits won’t come through til Monday?

This morning I supported a rape victim who got the news her case was going no further. I spent the day wanting to do more to help. I was frustrated with the system. I then got this news. Four years of campaigning with @rapecrisisscot & I had a few happy tears at work.

Had a male client tell me that he wanted my colleague to take his case because my colleague is a man so would be a much better lawyer. So tiring being undermined despite having the exact same qualifications as all of my male colleagues 😞

When you meet the client at court and they’ve come prepared with a ring binder full of handwritten notes and have ‘something they’d like to say to the judge’

Can you Tell Ten about us for #WorldMentalHealthDay on 10/10? We're asking the legal community to share information about us on Monday. Tag 10 colleagues or friends on social or send an email/ text & let them know about the free, confidential peer support LawCare offers.

Just some wholesomeness with my flatmate’s cat and my cat. The ✨jumper✨ and the ✨kissing✨ is too much 😭

Becoming increasingly alarmed by the way that the right have started to claim the definition of refugee is “those fleeing conflict” and the way it’s becoming increasingly normalised by politicians and a client media. Seeing it repeated all the time on here now.

⁦@rapecrisisscot⁩ are looking for new volunteers to assist on the Helpline. This is something I have done for around 2 years now and is one of the best decisions I have made! eventbrite.com/e/559507430787

Wow…Just read a 53 page asylum interview transcript for a client’s 9 hour interview. I got exhausted even just reading it. I have no idea how it is fair for clients to be interviewed for this long!

Delighted to have passed my Trauma Aware Certification Course through the Law Society Scotland. It was an incredibly interesting course and I’m excited to put it all into practice!

What a lovely surprise at work today from Law Society Scotland - such a poignant sentiment!

Honestly wish I could invoice @FirstinGlasgow for the amount of Ubers I have to get because of the amount of their buses that just don’t show up…
