Very grateful to Holly Archer and @sammywoodhouse1 for repeatedly highlighting the disconnect btw victim/survivor perspectives and Home Office proposals which do little to meet needs of those most impacted

Thrilled for new collab w/ MILK Café - exploring radical inclusive yoga + meditation. #traumainformedyoga #decolonisingwellness

Great creative work by Children 1st Changemakers and all the young people involved! These powerful posters demonstrate how #BairnsHoose is underpinned by the #UNCRC and how children’s rights are critical to delivery of the National Bairns Hoose Standards.

Our :michael-ian: meldrum🎗👣 Sui Juris St. John 8:32 Changemakers were part of a short working group to design posters which explain what children can expect when accessing a #BairnsHoose based on the 11 standards. We are working with our young people to develop how we can be held accountable for meeting these

So proud to be running yoga classes with this wonderful community organisation and women in Glasgow 🤍

Listening to children, young people and families is at the heart of this work. As one young person told us with a poem, "Things need to Change". They do. #Bairnshoose is transformational change and finally here in Scotland 👇

Five years ago Scotland’s most senior judge called for the country to look to Norway for how we should treat #child victims. Child victims will now get that support in Scotland’s first Bairns Hoose bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…

Before we officially open Scotland’s 1st #BairnsHoose you can read more BBC Scotland News about how life-changing it will be for children thanks to amazing #PostcodeLotteryPeople and our partners Victim Support Scotland The University of Edinburgh Children England Postcode Lottery bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…

We hope our #BairnsHoose is the first of many where children can access a high standard of support under one roof. We can’t always stop bad things happening to children but we can do everything in our power to help them to recover. Victim Support Scotland The University of Edinburgh Children England

A real inspiration to be at the opening of Scotland's 1st #BairnsHoose #barnahus this morning. Such an important milestone towards integrated child friend justice, recovery and protection. And a total privilege to continue to follow this model develop as a researcher.

Very special day 💕 what a wonderful opportunity to study this space with young people and adults in my PhD

Warm congratulations to Scotland on the opening of their first Bairns Hoose!

Today we will be sharing our work with partners to open Scotland’s 1st #BairnsHoose @ScotlParl. Rather than facing a care protection & justice experience that can cause children further trauma, #BairnsHoose offers hope, healing & recovery. children1st.org.uk/help-for-famil…
