I’m calling for @GOVUK to scrap the #RefugeeBanBill and open safe routes to asylum for people fleeing war, torture and persecution. Children have a right to safety and protection under the the UNCRC no matter their country of origin, this right must be upheld.#AyeWelcomeRefugees – at Edinburgh, Scotland

In my opinion Gavin's priorities are exactly what SYP needs going into the 2nd half of our term - will be voting Gavin #1 for board at the upcoming AGM and urge other msyps to consider doing the same!

A year ago on Tuesday I received the news that I had not been elected. Now I’m very happy to announce that alongside @McCrackersSYP we will be your MSYPs for Paisley! I am very excited to get to know everyone and what the upcoming year will bring 😊
I sadly did not get elected but I know that @teri4msyp and @McCrackers4SYP are amazing people and I'm glad you entrusted them to represent you guys!

If a child/yp informs their school about a change in gender identity, it's not the school's place to go and tell their family - if the family doesn't already know, there's typically a reason why and informing the family about this update can be hugely detrimental and harmful.
