Great to bring together the Children's Sector Strategic and Policy Forum with @ScotGovFM and @NatalieDon_ to talk about embedding children's rights, policy coherence, the importance of a well resourced third sector and what we can do differently to eradicate child poverty.

First Minister @JohnSwinney joined leaders at the Children’s Sector Strategic and Policy Forum chaired by @ChildreninScot. They shared ideas about the best ways to: 🔵eradicate child poverty and support families 🔵ensure children and young people can fully access their rights

@ZTScotland @jamiehepburn Next hearing from Rebekah Cheung @White_Ribbon_UK. Preventing gender based violence is a shared responsibility. White Ribbon have been engaging with MSPs during #16days. 'Dont commit, condone or remain silent in the face of VAWG'. Silence can no longer be an option.

Rachel Adamson @ZTScotland noting violence against women affects us all and needs all of us engaged to address it. #16days

Following #16days, NASUWT is @ScotParl with @ZTScotland talking about men's role in ending violence against women. Opening address by @BenMacpherson recognising the importance of having this conversation.
