Yesterday, we wrapped up our final regional practitioners’ day with @vruscotland in Irvine! Over the past year we’ve met incredible practitioners, shared learning, and strengthened Scotland’s approach to tackling youth violence. Huge thanks to everyone who joined us!
Had a great session with @NKBLScotland and @vruscotland where we launched our updated toolkit Better Lives. Full of facts, activities, messages that work with young people. Some of the comments:

ALT Dark blue text on a white banner reads, 'Social Media, Violence & Young People, Online training for workers.' To the left is the logo for No Knives, Better Lives; to the right is the logo for YouthLink Scotland. In the background, a young person uses a phone. In the upper left is the logo for Youth Scotland.
'Consistent and persistent' - lots of food for thought here about youth work as effective in prevention work.
Youth workers who stick around, offer timely help and the benefits of small but cumulative efforts to support.

The sector ask for a legal right to youth work, the most direct route to delivering all #UNCRC commitments. Scotland's young people deserve nothing less. #YouthWorkChangesLives #InvestInYouthWork
🆕 ✊ Today is the official commencement of #UNCRC in Scotland, meaning it is now a legal requirement for all public bodies to ensure UNCRC's principals are upheld across all service delivery.
