By the time Sinéad O’Connor sang this (1992) some 70,000 children had been sexually abused by Catholic priests & brothers in Ireland. The state, media, bishops, cardinals & pope had covered it up. She was scorned.

Twitter carbon people! I saw a really good graph about the ability to influence embodied energy diminishing through design stages but cannot put my eyes on it anywhere... any clues before I draw a crude, unscientific version? @MarkSiddallRIBA @tom_bray @SamDugdaleArch @RIBA_YAPF

Of course it's important to educate students.
This doesn't negate the fact that it's also important to protect them from harm, keep them safe, and look after their physical and mental health.
The two are not mutually exclusive: the best unis do both.

A lovely day of celebrating everything @_laura_mcc has achieved in the last 3 years in the most challenging of circumstances. I couldn’t be more proud. Master of Architecture. instagram.com/p/Cfw5gCat3DV_… – at Newcastle Upon Tyne, England
We've designed a few 'tall schools' recently @FaulknerBrowns & we're always talking about giving over more site for play, vertical adjacency, wall to floor ratios, etc. but after yesterdays trip to @BrianClarkeAcad, I'm going to have to start talking about views more often! 👀☀️

Nice to go back and see an old friend today as @doncaster_utc picked up the award for Best New Educational Building in South Yorkshire and Humber at the regional LABC awards.
Congratulations to the other winners!

Allison's first opportunity to walk the floors of our new building and take in some pretty impressive views out towards Manchester, Ramsbottom and Bolton. Things are really coming on well 🏗️

It’s always an exciting time when a building emerges from the ground, there’s not so much blue sky around today as in these photos though 🌧! @FaulknerBrowns
It's a big week at the Brian Clarke site. All the foundations are in and the building is starting to take shape with structural steel starting this month🔨👍

Very proud to have worked alongside these incredible young professionals for the last 2 years @RIBA_YAPF supported by the amazing (all female) team @RIBANorthEast - always been very proud to be heavily outnumbered! #IWD2022
“Together we can forge women's equality. Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias.”
Happy International Women’s Day from everyone at the YAPF! Gender representation has always been an important factor when selecting the range of speakers we put forward.
Together we can #BreakTheBias
