What Is The Opportunity for Education Post Pandemic
This month, many schools opened up their numbers to include Reception, Year One and Year 6 children to sit alongside the children of keyworkers and also those children unhelpfully labeled as 'vulnerable children'. Many schools did not and many local authorities have...
Live Webinar With Dr Warren Larkin
In this week's conversation, we explore ACE's, the tragedy of the medical model and the wave of social change. We could have talked for hours and much time was spent unpicking the programme recently aired called What's The Matter With Tony Slattery. Grab a cuppa, sit...

Living In A Digital World During A Pandemic
I was made for living in a digital world. I remember that moment when someone explained the World. Wide. Web. to me in, I think, around 1997. My eyes widened, my jaw dropped and I said with an enthusiasm usually ascribed to discovering that the cake I just ate was...
Post Pandemic Nurture; The Transition Back To School
As school leaders begin to ponder how best to prepare for a return of the school community, the confusing enormity of their task is unfolding. They are accustomed to integrating vulnerable children from complex backgrounds at the beginning of a new school year, but...
Talking To Children About Grief and Loss; Parents and Teachers
One area that stands out for me during this whole experience of Covid 19 is grief and loss. As we settle into week 6 (or 7 if like me you made the decision slightly ahead of the Government) of this new normal, we can locate the loss of so much which sits alongside the...
