Social media can be a fantastic tool for staying connected with family and friends, but it can also be somewhere that bullying takes place. 💻
Think about what you post, disconnect and walk away.

"It makes us young people feel as though our voices are not valued or taken into account.”

Seeing @sqanews talk about listening to us but then doing the opposite is disappointing to say the least.
@OfficialSYP, @CYPCS and @SQAOurSay have been working so hard to get young people be heard, getting nothing in return.

Well done to @Cameron_MSYP for his appearance on @STVNews
Young people need the SQA to change their stance.

Great to see @Cameron_MSYP speaking to @stvewan on @STVNews tonight talking about the sqa appeals process.
Cameron said he has been saying for some time to decision-makers that "If we don't get this right, the same thing that happened last year, will happen again this year."

Involving young people doesn't just mean listening to them when they agree with you. Meaningful participation means listening and responding to young people's voices when they tell you what they need, even if it doesn't match your original ideas.

Disappointing to see @SQANews are claiming to have engaged with representatives of young people during the development of the appeals service when @OfficialSYP + @CYPCS + @SQAOurSay have repeatedly spoken against this system. Read our statement: syp.org.uk/appeals-proces…

Engaging ≠ listening. Do better.

I’ll be live on @BBCRadioScot at around 12.25 talking about the SQA exams and how young people must be listened to.

Great to listen to @JoshKenMSYP on @BBCRadioScot
"Young people we've been speaking to have had exams sprung on them which have been doubly stressful. This has highlighted the disconnect between views of young people and institutions that are supposed to be supporting them."

It was great taking part in the discussion with @CYPCS @SQAOurSay and @OfficialSYP tonight. The current system which has been developed is not fit for purpose. One of the most important issues is exceptional circumstances. I have personally experienced a bereavement this year(1)

The news today, of the appeals procedure in Scotland fills me with anger and sadness, but overall, the feeling of being let down, the feeling that Scotland has been let down.

This. There’s a fine line between involvement and tokenism.
Sadly too many don’t take this into account.

Some very strange examples of “co-production” being discussed at the moment. If you have very limited involvement of young people and then ignore their views, you can’t call it co-production just because they were in the room.

If true co-production/co-design was happening as often as it is (inaccurately) mentioned, children and young people would be far better off right now. Sadly, the power shift required to make that happen still feels a long way off.

"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
