@DrLeah_McCabe @EdinburghPIR Congratulations! Beautiful news.

✨I’m delighted to share that I’ll be starting as a Lecturer in British Politics at @EdinburghPIR in Jan 2025! When I first came to Edinburgh for my undergraduate as a working class/access programme student I never imagined I’d one day return as a lecturer! 🤩

🎉 Today is historic! The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is now part of Scots law, making children's rights legally enforceable in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Let’s celebrate this huge milestone & thank all the children & young people who campaigned to make this possible. ❤️🛡️👏🏾

Today marks the commencement of the UNCRC (Incorporation) (Scotland) Act, and we couldn't be prouder! We can now ensure that children's rights in Scotland are protected, respected, and fulfilled. How are you celebrating? 🎊 Head to buff.ly/3sAmlXj for further information.
