To start #AntiBullyingWeek, we want to remind you that being bullied is never your fault. Under any circumstances. We know it can make you feel isolated, angry and lower your confidence. But we hope you are kind to yourself - and realise how important you are.

And here it is: beta.parliament.scot/bills/u…. I am hugely proud of all of the children and young people who have campaigned for this and I'm thankful for the amazing experts who have worked tirelessly to get this bill before @ScotParl. Great human rights leadership from @scotgov

Putting together a recovery curriculum?
Every child & family will have had a different experience of lockdown - with progress & growth in some of these areas and gaps in others
We need to plan around new strengths & catch-up needs across this range, not just for ”knowledge”

Children starting school this autumn don't need to be "ready" ...
But some families worry about having missed time in #earlylearning, etc
We (some teachers, S<, OT, EP) have made some posters to try & help focus on play & fun - not tasks & worksheets
