In our EDI Community of Practice on supporting mental health of young people in diverse communities. Hearing from @seemescotland and one of their youth consultants on what mental health stigma & discrimination is for young people. Brilliant and shocking presentation!

It was such a privilege to work with Christina McKelvie MSP on the Hate Crime Act development, which demonstrated her enduring commitment to making the world safer for all. She listened carefully to what young people told her and her caring approach will never be forgotten.

We remember Christina McKelvie MSP, a dedicated advocate for equality, young people and social justice. Read our tribute: youthlink.scot/news/tribute-t…

This profoundly disturbing article in The Herald demonstrates that there is much work to do to challenge the brutalising of disabled people in Scotland - it is unjust, cruel and unacceptable. @GDA__online archive.ph/2025.02.16-094…

As Scotland's Anti-Bullying Service, our work is underpinned by five core values - Rights, Fairness, Respect, Equality and Inclusion. Did you know that respect is written into the UNCRC in article 29, putting it at the heart of protecting the rights of children and young people?

Young people aged 14-25 can apply to lead a project that celebrates UK native wildflowers and fungi in exciting and engaging ways. Next deadline: 19th March Info: bit.ly/4i3YyrV.

We believe every young person in Scotland should have access to quality, sustainably funded youth work. The consultation for the proposed Youth Work Bill (Scotland) remains open until Friday (21 Feb 2025) 📣 Make your voice heard before the deadline! bit.ly/3OsWIUw
