Thank you to Steven Bonnar, MSP for meeting with our Trustee Helena, to hear her lived experience as a parent/carer of a child with PANS, and the challenges faced by children across Scotland, who have severe symptoms, and struggle to access support across health, education and social care services.

Thank you @adamharley.bsky.social for raising a case of #PANS and #PANDAS in the @parliament.scot. The issue is not that it's rare, it's that some clinicians don't believe it exists. With Clinical guidelines under development we are calling for acknowledgement of the conditions as a first step.

Carers of children with PANS face sudden symptoms, crisis‑driven behaviours, and a system that still doesn’t recognise the condition. We battle symptoms. We battle for treatment, education and support. This Carers Week, we don’t need praise — we need action. #CarersWeek #PANS #PANDAS #Scotland

Through lack of recognition and understanding of #PANS, #children across #Scotland are unable to access many of their rights under the #UNCRC. This video highlights some of the challenges they face. Read more in our UNCRC report at pansplus.scot/uncrc/

We are calling on the new Scottish Government to support CYP in Scotland impacted by PANS. Many struggle to access their rights against up to 15 articles of the UNCRC Read our full report on PANS and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child at pansplus.scot/2026/05/04/p... #PANS #UNCRC
