10 years of the Fair Work Convention shows we cannot eradicate child poverty without fair work nor can we achieve goals on climate change.

Government and employers have a role and a responsibility.

Charleen Morton and Demi-Leigh Stewart spoke powerfully about their lived experiences.

They are campaigning for schools to be happy and more inclusive places for everyone.

Lack of support is pushing families into poverty.

Rob Holland @autisticsociety.bsky.social gave an overview of their campaign which will launch in the new year.

Delay of LDAN Bill very disappointing, noting it was an SNP manifesro commitment.

They believe a change in legal footing will drive improvements in support.

A warm welcome from @stephaniemsp.bsky.social recognising disappointment that the LDAN Bill has been paused: it shone a welcome light on autistic needs.

Also acknowledging frustrations around waiting times for diagnosis.

School can be overwhelming - there are systemic failures, not personal ones.
