Cutting school transport for disabled kids is a cruel way to balance the books

Record View says cutting services cannot mean vulnerable youngsters being left ­abandoned by the education system. Getting children with disabilities or long-term ill health to school should be a top priority for local authorities. ‌ There is no doubt that town halls may be struggling to balance their budgets and face tough spending choices. ‌ But cutting services cannot mean vulnerable youngsters being left ­abandoned by the education system. ‌ Jessica McMillan had to overcome a string of health battles before she could start enjoying school like other kids. But now the disabled youngster, aged nine, has been told she can no longer have a place on a council-funded bus to take her the four miles from her home to a specialist school in Ayrshire.

It means her mum faces the ­impossible choice of quitting her ­full-time work to take her daughter to and from school, as her dad is recovering from a stroke. Jessica needs a wheelchair for any distance over 300ft and requires constant one-to-one care, with poor vision and limited hearing. The family say they were hit with the school transport blow after seeing reports that other parents had been refused and enquiring over Jessica's place with East Ayrshire Council in June. ‌ It's a situation mirrored in other local authorities. The SNP government spent years freezing council tax for political gain. Now kids like Jessica are left paying the price. Councils are struggling to deliver basic services while roads crumble and community centres close. But books cannot be balanced by depriving disabled kids of their right to an education. Jessica and others need a space on school buses. ‌ Faraway Farage takes us for fools May's Holyrood election is shaping up to be the most important poll in the history of devolution. With the NHS struggling and other public services in urgent need of reform, our political parties must step up and offer credible policy solutions. Part of that process involves the parties listening to Scots and coming up with ideas on how to improve our lives. ‌ Our story today about Reform UK hiring policy makers to work at ­Westminster for the Holyrood election is the wrong approach. Holyrood is central to Scottish political life and the areas under MSP control are of crucial importance. Reform and the party's leader, Nigel Farage, are taking Scots for fools. The days of centralised political parties deciding devolved issues in London should be a thing of the past. The big policy ideas for the next five years at Holyrood should be made in Scotland.

"Amazing value for money, even comes with a bag to keep items in and a poster with loads of exercises you can do with the equipment." When it comes to fitness, there are so many different ways to exercise that come with their own range of benefits. From weightlifting and calisthenics to running and swimming, there are many ways to keep your body fit and healthy in an enjoyable way. One of the newest fitness trends that has a wide following is pilates. Focusing on building strength and flexibility, as well as improving posture, many people have tried out this full body workout whether it be at home or in the gym. For those who are interested in dipping their toe into pilates but are unsure of where to start, we have found the popular workout set that comes with all the basic equipment new fitness lovers need to set them on the right path. Usually retailing for £29.99, Amazon has reduced the price of the LIONSCOOL Pilates Ring Set down to £25.48. Available in five colours, this set is perfect for beginners as it comes with a workout booklet that demonstrates a range of exercises users can follow with the equipment. Along with the trusty workout book, shoppers will also get a pilates ring, an anti-burst mini ball and a set of four durable resistance bands. The ring is made of resilient fiberglass which is encased in a rubber shell, which will add some resistance to your workout. There are also two foam pads included from added comfort. LIONSCOOL Pilates Ring Set £29.99 £25.48 Amazon Buy Now Product Description The nine-inch ball is a staple of the pilates workout, as it challenges a user's stability and flexibility. Made with anti-slip, burst resistant PVC materials, this ball will help strengthen your core in a fun way. Additionally, resistance bands are a versatile piece of equipment to have as they can be used in a range of workouts. However, for those who want to take their pilates journey a step further, Amazon is selling a Foldable Pilates Reformer Board for the reduced price of £62.99 (RRP £78.88).

Would highly recommend." With another five-star reviewer adding: "Great quality and easy to blow up ball - colour is lovely and even comes with a wall poster with some exercises. Impressed." However, some shoppers had minor gripes with the set. One person said: "The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the resistance bands. "While they're decent, they tend to bunch up a little during use, especially over leggings. If they were just a bit wider or had some grip on the inside, they'd be perfect." While another noted: "The foam on the ring has already peeled off and I'd only used it once. Not the best quality unfortunately." On the flip side, a top reviewer wrote: "I've only started using it but the durability of the product is phenomenal, easy to use, comfortable to use and great equipment to keep fit. Packed well, instructions provided how to get started. I am loving it!" While a further customer praised: "Purchased for home workouts and the quality is incredible.

Parents warned to 'immediately' stop giving children gummies containing undeclared medicine

Taking too much can cause headaches, drowsiness, dizziness and nausea Parents have been urged to stop giving their children a brand of gummies after tests revealed they contain an undeclared medicine that is prescription-only - and only dished out to those with sleep disorders. ‌ The gummies claim to help reduce tiredness and boost the immune system, but they are currently in the process of being pulled from shelves after a major regulatory body found two batches to contain melatonin. ‌ Melatonin, the hormone that helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle, is naturally produced by the body. However, a synthetic version has the green light for use on prescription in the UK only for adults and children over the age of six with sleep disorders such as insomnia. ‌ Dr Alison Cave, chief safety officer at Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), said: "We advise any parent or caregiver to stop use of this product and safely dispose of it. "Side effects such as headache, hyperactivity, a feeling of dizziness and abdominal pain have been reported in children when melatonin is prescribed and used for its licensed indications." The MHRA is working with online retailers to remove Nutrition Ignition Kids Magnesium Glycinate Gummies from sale. Magnesium glycinate is a dietary supplement that can help with anxiety and improve sleep. However, tests on two batches of this specific brand showed between 1.5 and 1.7mg of melatonin in each individual gummy. If prescribed, the recommended starting dose is 1mg for children. ‌ Taking too much melatonin can cause headaches, drowsiness, dizziness and nausea. According to the MHRA, melatonin is not listed anywhere on the packaging of Nutrition Ignition Kids Magnesium Glycinate Gummies. The packaging advises a dose of one to two gummies per day. ‌ No serious side effects were observed in studies in children, Dr Cave confirmed. This perhaps because melatonin does not have many common side effects, according to the NHS. However, if symptoms do occur, they can appear in the form of headaches, stomach aches, nausea, dizziness, dry or itchy skin, and/or arm and leg pain. In rare cases, it's possible to have a serious allergic reaction to melatonin. ‌ Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Anyone who suspects that their child, or a child in their care, is having a side effect from this product is advised to stop taking it and speak to a healthcare professional and report it directly to the MHRA Yellow Card scheme. Nutrition Ignition Kids Magnesium Glycinate Gummies are sold online as a food supplement, but the MHRA has now removed the product from sale and is working with online retailers to remove all listings. If a side effect is still bothering you or does not go away, or if the advice on how to cope does not help, the NHS advices to speak to a doctor or pharmacist.
