Word of the day is 'sequaciousness' (17th century): the blinkered, unreasoning, and slavish following of another, no matter where it leads.

Alongside #SafeguardingAdultsWeek, it is also #selfcareweek and #AntiBullyingWeek. Looking after yourself and others is at the heart of each of these campaigns. Don't be afraid to ask: 'Are you okay?' buff.ly/3jGorzA

America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country. The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not. I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.

Every single time Trump is contemplating or covering up a crime, he accuses the other side of committing it. Understand this and not much will surprise you.

Sometimes life is made much better when you are appreciated.. and thats something you get on a regular basis from #meetmacintyre. This appreciation was shared across all staff across MacIntyre regardless of role, one of the many advantages of working for people who care

There's still talk of care workers - are they 'unskilled or skilled. We work sensitively & patiently with each individual learning how they prefer to communicate & spend their time. Providing personalised support. Support workers are highly skilled and pioneers in this field

Today we say a ‘big thank you’ to our teams who support the children and young people across MacIntyre. We invited our learners to say #thankyou to staff who support them with their education. Together we produced a film to show our appreciation. #LearningDisability #autism
