18 years ago I moved to Scotland, a lone parent with my 7 month old baby, to start a new life and a PhD at GCU. Four more children and a career later, I found out last week I have been promoted to Professor. Thankyou to everyone who has supported me and our family along the way.

My partner Roy wrote the play to celebrate the diversity of Glasgow, of experiences and of the children in his school. Such an uplifting article and you can feel the excitement of the children coming through. All proceeds go to @Refuweegee

As part of our European-wide project on innovative solutions to eliminate domestic abuse @IsedaProject, Glasgow Caledonian University have created an education programme to be delivered in schools to foster healthy and equal relationships between young people. These lessons will be delivered across 7 countries including Scotland. The online training sessions consists of 4 modules (in two parts) on cyberviolence and abuse. All materials are digitally accessible. The training demonstrate the lesson plan and resources. Each module is accessed as a SWAY. The session will prepare you to deliver at least one modules below to learners in your school/setting. @GCU_GSBS @CaledonianNews

All the enthusiastic joggers and speedy runners from P3 and P5 meant that I finished my 100 miles with 2 days to spare. Thankyou Team Langside for the running action but also for everything you do that means I can send my children to a school where they are nurtured, supported and understood @AutismScotland #100milesinOctober

I am so sad to read this. It is no exaggeration to say that Malcolm turned our lives around. We first met him when Dylan was around 3 years old. For the last 18 months we had been subject to weekly tests that found nothing and just caused us immense anxiety creating more unknowns and worry. Dylan had first seen Malcolm in a Gruffalo show and so didn't see him as a doctor, rather he was the fox! Malcolm could see the immense strain Dylan's 'unknown' conditions were causing us and the fear and worry we experienced every time we set foot in the hospital for yet more tests. He was the first doctor who treated us holistically, as a family, and ordered a stop to all tests that were not in Dylan's immediate interests. He got to know all of us, me, Roy, Dylan and Milo and despite the pressures he was under always spent the first part of the consultations asking about us, my studies, Roy drumming, what new thing Milo was interested in. Indeed Roy's 'Roy to Roy presents' of musical instruments came about from Malcolm telling us about the latest guitar he has bought himself (Malcom to Malcolm gifts)! Malcolm took us off the merry go round of hospital tests and anxiety and told us to enjoy our boy. We did, and for that Dr Donaldson, I will always be incredibly grateful for the gift of joy you gave us back and the family you told us to embrace. What a wonderful man you were.

Thankyou Miss C. We had great support from invaluable organisations to enable us to do this. Thankyou for giving your time to inform this work. It is so appreciated.

For women, successful sentencing provided a validation of their experiences and public acknowledgment of its impact upon their own lives, their children and wider family and friends.

Thankyou Gavin for your insightful and thoughtful comments about our article. It is indeed shocking - making the work we all do to bring voices to the fore, to challenge attitudes and help transform existing systems all the more critical.
