Brooke Barr

Today for #InternationalWomensDay, we want to encourage you all to share an inspirational woman and what she has achieved! ✨ We need to lift up the voices of women and cheer each other on! Use the # and tag more people to get involved to share the love! 🤍

The final consultation workshop in SYP's consultation week is on 'Becoming a fair work nation'. Huge thanks to all the MSYPs who took part and to @brookebarr_ & @Eilidh11401261 for facilitating!

Today the Board, Conveners and Deputy Conveners had a little discussion day at the @OfficialSYP offices! Its great to get back to something more in person.✨

My SYP email will still be active in my capacity as Convener so people are still welcome to get in contact with me via that. I want to wish all the current candidates luck and I cannot wait to see what this new generation of MSYPs bring!! 3/3

I look forward to welcoming the new MSYPs and helping out. If any new MSYPs are needing a hand just pop me a message or an email. My twitter account will no longer be used as my MSYP account, but I will continue to use it for youth work relevant stuff. 2/?

Tomorrow I will no longer be the MSYP for Angus South, it has been amazing but it is time to move forward. I will be staying on as Convener of the JOBs committee until the new MSYPs elect their new Conveners in the AGM, so SYP hasn’t quite gotten rid of me just yet! 1/?

Now that SYP elections are underway, I want to wish all those standing the very best of luck!! I can’t wait to see what the new term of MSYPs will do!

@OfficialSYP Pop ups are officially underway with the first one happening today in Dundee!✨ Thanks so much to all the MSYPs who have came today! There is still more to come during the week and we are so excited to finally see MSYPs after such a long time being online!

@CllrBenLawrie Thank you Ben!

Brooke has been a fantastic MSYP for Angus South, standing up for Scottish young people throughout the SQA exams fiasco. Best of luck for whatever comes next Brooke!

@BellMsyp @OfficialSYP Thank you Jack!! Good luck in the elections, you have been great to work with :))

Seeing all the candidates running in the @OfficialSYP elections this year is really exciting!! In light of this, after much thought, I’ve decided not to re-stand. Being a MSYP has been an amazing opportunity and can’t wait to welcome whoever becomes the new MSYP for Angus South!

Angus MSYP Brooke Barr has said pupil's are not being heard after learning the SQA appeal process could result in grades being reduced. ow.ly/aNg050F2faL

Young people are warning us that we’re on course for another exams fiasco. We must listen. The SQA must adopt a no-detriment policy to ensure that pupils are not disadvantaged by the pandemic. Well done @brookebarr_MSYP for standing up for your constituents in Angus South.

"It makes us young people feel as though our voices are not valued or taken into account.” Read @brookebarr_MSYP's reflections on the appeals system announcement in the @thecourieruk here: thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/school…

"Appeals Process Fails to Uphold Young People’s Rights" @LiamMSYP reacts to yesterday's appeals announcement on behalf of SYP. The process must: * Include a policy of no-detriment * Take into account exceptional circumstances Read the statement here: syp.org.uk/appeals-proces…

Happy #Pride2021 everyone!! From all of us on the @OfficialSYP Board, we'd like to welcome this month with open arms and as always, advocate and fight for LGBTQ+ Rights!

Just voted for the first time!! If you can vote I definitely encourage you to do so, it only takes 5 minutes @OfficialSYP
