Pleased to see this from the Commissioner - and once again angry that the ASN review led by Angela Morgan published years ago is on a shelf somewhere, despite the level of input from children, families and staff. We need to do better for our children. We must.
Sad to hear this news. As Equalities Minister, I had a number of interactions, particularly on tackling loneliness and isolation and the role of the third sector in our communities. Thoughts with Christina's family, friends and colleagues. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2504169...

Sorry can't be with you all today. Lots to celebrate, lots more to do! #PromisePartnershipShowcase
Oh @sallyannkelly1.bsky.social what an incredible advocate for our children and their families, and model for third sector leadership in pursuing cause and justice. Happy retirement when it comes (I hope we'll still be hearing from you!).
Pleasure to join Commissioners today for launch of the report on a just transition for Dumfries and Galloway, and to have discussed #poverty, #inequity, #socialjustice and our #communities on their visit last year #JustTransition @thirdsectordg.bsky.social #DumfriesandGalloway tinyurl.com/25n2ytuf
Great news, congrats Bruce
Holding up public services on the back of our sector was never it. From the first eNIC announcement we've been calling for full exemption; nothing else will reach the whole sector. To date, the Chancellor says our sector gets enough support. Let's hope for a change of heart.

Support @scottishgovernment.bsky.social on public service protection. It's not the whole story for our sector. As minority of our sector is funded by public bodies, wider social, community + personal impacts go unseen. Best way to avoid worst effects of eNIC changes is at source tinyurl.com/3vnx3shk
