Leo at 8 years old has finally started to engage with classroom tasks and develop a love of learning. And the news that brought this all home to a 90s-educated, comprehension loving, stationery fiend….? He has a school jotter to keep his work in. #substack open.substack.com/pub/nicolado...

What a wonderful concept for a fund. Ironically.

Inclusive play equipment doesn’t just open up the park - it opens up the world. It says: 🌍 You belong here 🤝 You matter 🎉 You have a right to play too Every child deserves to see themselves reflected in their play spaces. www.playscotland.org/playful-comm...

I don’t know if this will make a difference, but at least no one can say they didn’t know it was happening.

They are among more than 20,000 petitioners calling for Holyrood to keep the unit open.

Extremely important document that is legally binding. If you have a child with additional needs, you should really consider having one in place.

It’s been a very busy two days in Glasgow at #CiSAC25 and I heave learned an enormous amount. There is a lot to reflect on. Thanks to the @childreninscotland.bsky.social team for a great event. Didn’t take a lot of photos at the sessions but I did have a very good walk in Glasgow last night

Taking a little detour via the capital due to train issues but it’s all good. I’m on my way to #CiSAC25 and looking forward to a busy few days. 🚂

Leo was a superstar today. It’s a good start towards progress.

Sessions all booked for @childreninscotland.bsky.social conference later this month. Really looking forward to getting immersed in diverse insights and interesting conversations about supporting children and families.

A stunning Insight cover from @childreninscotland.bsky.social awaited me today when I returned to the office from holiday 😍

Hello 👋🏻 I have a Substack and a shiny first post substack.com/@nicoladonne...

Hot on the heels of the Dundee Council budget consultation exercise comes this… the Health and Social Care consultation. Insulting, reductive and cynical. This is so far from fully informed democracy and veers on click-bait, adversary and removing accountability. www.dundeehscp.com/dundee-ijb-b...

Disappointed it was necessary but this young woman’s steadfast insistence on getting the support she needs is impressive.

Dusting off my Bluesky account after a great day at @scvo.scot #thegathering Sessions on anti-racism, former PM Gordon Brown’s rally to combat child poverty, Scottish public finances and co-design. Actions for me to take to work and in my voluntary roles.
