Have @scotgov missed the growing body of evidence of harm caused to children by restrictions? Or don’t tbey care? There is NO justification or evidence for continuing this policy @jasonleitch @S_A_Somerville @NicolaSturgeon @CYPCS

Adults can be in pubs without a mask but young people are having their education held back as the SNP are forcing them to wear one in the classroom.
Have you filled in our Deaf Children Today survey yet? This survey is so important to us, especially this year, as the results will help us shape our next five year strategy! If you’re a parent or carer of a #deaf child, fill in our survey here bit.ly/3fJdFbS
@Dermatologydame Hi Fiona, we continue to campaign on facemasks as a barrier to deaf children. We raised this with MSPS at last week’s cross-party group on Deafness. We are pressing the Cabinet Secretary on Education on the impact of facemasks and deaf pupils’ attainment. DM us or email for more.
I hope @ScotGovEdu are listening
“Mask wearing in Scotland schools could end as early as next month”. Next month doesn’t sound very early. And @JohnSwinney says he “hopes” the rule won’t be in place in May. Deaf young people are unable to prepare adequately for those exams. It’s time to end it now
Your move @ScotGovEdu @S_A_Somerville @NicolaSturgeon All the evidence points to the harms of this policy with no demonstrable benefit. It’s time to end it.

Sadly nobody seems to be challenging this in Scotland any more. We were told it wouldn’t be in place for a day longer than needed. It’s been well over a year. Where’s their evidence that the benefits are greater than the harm? @NDCS_Scotland @NDCS_UK @NicolaSturgeon @CYPCS

No shit, Sherlock
If you’ve been affected by the issues at @NHS_Lothian, or you’re worried about whether it might impact you & your deaf child, our Helpline is here to help. Contact us at ndcs.org.uk/helpline for free, confidential advice and support.
The impact on the affected families & children in Lothian is unimaginable. Yet another example of deaf children in Scotland being failed 😔

. @JohnSwinney Could you explain what ‘under review’ actually means? What are you reviewing? Efficacy (and if so, how?)? Attainment? Equality impact? What metrics are you using? Some transparency would be helpful @NDCS_Scotland @S_A_Somerville @NicolaSturgeon
Continuing to mandate that children wear facemasks in school is seriously impacting the education of deaf students. The @scotgov Covid recovery strategy fails to address this. I hope @JohnSwinney will correct this before more children are left behind.
We are loving @RoseAylingEllis & @pernicegiovann1. Killing it week after week. Keep dancing ✨💃🏻🕺🏼
