1. Today has been the first time I have felt ready to go through the FAI determination in close detail. Sheriff Collins has written an exemplary determination and we sincerly thank him.

You cannot ‘improve’ a system so embroiled with human suffering.
You cannot work in partnership with organisations who cannot be held accountable.
Apologies are empty without action.
Katie Allan. William Lindsey. Jonathan Beadle ❤️

Here are 2 pieces I wrote when I broke the story of William Lindsay's suicide in Polmont in 2018. They expose failings in the prison & the care system. I hope the findings of the FAI into his death & Katie Allan's, released tomorrow, are utterly damning. scotsman.com/news/politics/…

@fgillo10 Honestly Fern, that is a BRILLIANT comment. “Children don’t have time for us to get our act together”. So so true and they are lucky having amazing people like you fighting their corner ❤️

Coming to terms with this tragic news. children don’t have time for us to get our acts together, play politics or pat e/o on the back. reminder of how our professional future optimism so distant from ch&yps daily realities, what they experience. Action now.
