We acknowledge the slight reduction in child poverty however, figures remain significantly above the interim target. @ScotGov must do more to prioritise ending child poverty to meet targets. Too many children in Scotland are still growing up in poverty 👇 www.aberlour.org.uk/news-item/ab...

‼️ Today MPs will vote on amendments made to the NI Bill by @houseoflords.parliament.uk which would exempt most social care orgs from devastating increases. We urge MPs to share the evidence we & our members have provided & stand up for our sector. @r-cackett.bsky.social @key-lifestyles.bsky.social

We're concerned by UK GOV's announcement yesterday on disability & sickness benefits & the impact of proposed changes on children & families living with a disability. Government has a primary responsibility to do no harm: www.aberlour.org.uk/news-item/ab...

This #InternationalSchoolMealsDay we're continuing our campaign to #EndSchoolMealDebt. Every child has the right to food and to realise this right means ending school meal debt and hidden hunger in Scotland for good.

⚠️Tomorrow @houseoflords.parliament.uk will vote on amendments to the eNICs legislation that could lead to exemptions and a review of its impact on our sector. Unless the Bill is changed, the consequences for social care in Scotland and across the UK will be devastating. @ukparliament.parliament.uk

NfP social care providers in Scotland face an extra bill of around £30 million to cover the NI rate rise & the threshold reduction. Money they do not have, and have no means to raise. #ValueSocialcare #ProvidersUnite @r-cackett.bsky.social @providersunite.bsky.social @comintcare.bsky.social
