We do not agree with Adolescence being shown in schools and intend to put our arguments across urgently to government. Whilst it is a fantastic, gritty piece of writing, Adolescence is not an educational resource and is not suitable for schools. Teachers cannot be expected to roll this out, and this cannot be a knee jerk response. If you are a professional who has concerns about this being rolled out in schools, please get in touch so we can put our names and thoughts together. @Jaimi_Shrive and I will write up and share key arguments in due course, so please get in touch or add your name.

The arsonists last night destroyed a Citizens Advice Bureau. For those outside the UK, that's a place where the British public, particularly low income or disadvantaged communities, get free legal advice and support. Staff are devastated. "We're protecting our community"

Just a reminder on who Gary Goldsmith is in case they actually have signed him up for Celebrity Big Brother Kate Middleton's uncle fined £5,000 for assault on wife “Gary Goldsmith, 52, knocked Julie-Ann Goldsmith to the ground with a "left hook"” bbc.com/news/uk-england-lond… #cbbuk

If this is true, I’d be in BIG trouble as my desk has always been pretty much like a very messy jumble sale, never mind the place the bin is positioned 😂
Replying to @TTRadioOfficial
🗑️ “Staff were threatened with disciplinary action if they had their bins in the wrong place or some lined paper on their desk” - but staff won a concession to have small bins at the front of their room and lined paper on their desk “as long as it doesn’t disrupt learning”

Do you know what’s also damaging to children? Ridiculous amounts of supply Masses of teachers leaving Lack of funding for SEND & special schools Overstretched mental health services Unqualified staff teaching GCSE Huge Ofsted pressure Cost of living But yep those 6 strike days 🙄
Last year, school strikes resulted in 25 million school days being lost cumulatively. Children should not have to suffer a repeat of this disruption. I’m announcing that we will introduce minimum service levels in schools so that pupils get the education they need and deserve.

All eligible members in England will receive an email and text tonight about a pay offer from Government. We don’t think it’s good enough and are recommending members vote to reject it. Vote here.👉 NEUactivate.com #VoteReject #PayUp #SaveOurSchools

“The fact is we’re running out of teachers…we’re going to start next year with half our teacher training places not filled” The NEU’s @MaryBoustedNEU worries that current promises of tax cuts mean funding pulled from already stretched public services, such as teaching. #bbcqt
