My book 'Coercive Control and Vulnerable Adults' was launched last week 🥳 Thanks to King LJ, Emma Sutton KC, Akua Agyepong and Alex Ruck Keene KC (Hon) for speaking on the panel chaired by Mary-Rachel McCabe

@DJforEdS Daniel you are someone who not only listens but hears the issues that people face. Once again let me thank you on behalf of all those families like mine with children who happen to be different, thank you for giving them a voice.❤️❤️

Out in Buckstone. Very encouraging to hear people tell me that they like my strong local focus and track record. And clear they have had enough of the SNP after 19 years.

A tremendous achievement by @MorrisonBeth who worked so successfully with @djohnsonmsp to bring these new protections into law for disabled young people. I was privileged to work with Beth on Calum’s Law at @Enable_Tweets. Congratulations to all who made this possible.

A historical moment in Scotland today. Congratulations to the formidable @MorrisonBeth and @KateSanger4 on their tireless campaigning to ensure the passage of #CalumsLaw This wouldn’t have been possible without @djohnsonmsp well done Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

What a day @ScotParl @djohnsonmsp @KateSanger4 @teachnlearn @CYPCS @Enable @theRRNetwork 121 MSPs voted Yes 0 voted No 0 abstentions #CalumsLaw passed this evening Thankyou to everyone! Scotlands children will be safer as a result. We are celebrating (Calum having Irn Bru!)

@MorrisonBeth and @KateSanger4 have spent years campaigning for change. Last week we passed legislation at Stage 1 to deliver better protection for our children and young people. I was pleased to support it and recognise the incredible efforts of Beth and Kate.

The RRN is proud to offer a fantastic range of FREE resources. From webinars to infographics, we have an extensive library of materials available for anyone to make use of. You can view all our free resources here: restraintreductionnetwork.org/resources/ #RestraintReduction

At this significant milestone in the progress of the Bill, the RRN would like to recognise the considerable efforts of our Trustee Beth Morrison, and colleague Kate Sanger, in getting the Bill to this stage.

🆕We back proposals to minimise the use of restraint and seclusion in Scotland’s schools and commend those who have campaigned for this change. Read our report on the Restraint and Seclusion in Schools (Scotland) Bill: ow.ly/nCpO50XXH9V

I spoke of personal experiences of trauma caused by multiple systems and organisations supposed to support my disabled son ⁦@CerebraCharity⁩ event in November. Their new report uncovers a devastating and widespread pattern of Systems Generated Trauma cerebra.org.uk/latest-news/ne…

Restrictive practices remain inherently coercive and are often applied as punitive measures rather than a measure of a last resort. Stop protecting a culture of silence and stand up for children who cannot speak up for themselves. #HarrysLaw

@MorrisonBeth Reading this is like reading a horror story, but no this is what happens to vulnerable children and adults in a so called civilised society 🥺

When will this stop? Abusive use of restraint, sexual abuse and a punitive, barbaric aapproach to "care". These are our CHILDREN! What's wrong with staff attitudes? Why do they think this is ok? 😢😪 #CalumsLaw All children, all settings. independent.co.uk/news/health/hu…

The day has finally arrived! We’re all set for our first #ShoogleLab. We’re bringing together children, Dame Evelyn Glennie, Prof Laura Lundy & people in power to shake up education. Let’s go!

And that’s a wrap! Today’s #ShoogleLab has come to an end – huge thanks to our Young Advisors & everyone else who took part. Our work around children’s right to be listened to has been thought-provoking, powerful, exciting, and is starting to shake up the education system.

Excited to welcome @DameEvelyn, Prof Laura Lundy & education leaders tomorrow. Education is one of our priorities, & listening to children boosts learning, wellbeing & confidence. Tomorrow, our Shoogle Lab explores building this into every school. More: bit.ly/3Y4J5zJ

@theRRNetwork Once again an amazing conference, listening to the voices of those who have lived through trauma and hearing from the professionals who hope to bring about change working closely together.❤️

We were delighted to have so many people join us at this year’s RRN Conference for two days of powerful stories, inspiring keynotes and interactive workshops. Read the conference report here: restraintreductionnetwork.org/RRNConf25Report We hope you will join us next time!
