I recently had the unnerving experience of addressing 200-plus S5 and S6 school pupils on the subjects of sexual consent and toxic masculinity. We have another school that wants to hear the same presentation this week.
SIXTEEN new King’s Counsel have been appointed by His Majesty The King on the recommendation of First Minister John Swinney. The new King’s Counsel appointees include Faculty Members Ross Anderson, Jonathan Broome, Ewen Campbell, Wendy Culross, Gregory Farrell, Nicola Gilchrist, Paul Harvey, Lesley Irvine, Kenneth McGuire, Lynsey Rodger, Barney Ross, Elisabeth Roxburgh, Michael Upton, and Timothy Young. Graeme Brown, Solicitor Advocate and Leanne Cross, Solicitor Advocate, were also among the new King’s Counsel.
Schoolchildren at an Edinburgh high school listened intently during a recent presentation aimed at helping them understand consent, recognise the legal risks of harmful sexual behaviours, and understand the serious consequences of sexual offending.
