VR can be hugely helpful, distraction and reduction of anxiety. Appreciate that the anxiety may be too high but we have had amazing success in hospitals across the country.

May be worth exploring.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

politician hypocrisy latest - via Politico email

Lolling: "Blaming the weather for the highest ever crossing numbers so far this year is the border security equivalent of a lazy student claiming 'the dog ate my homework'" said Shadow Secretary Chris Philp, who also failed to stop the boats when he was in the Home Office but has appeared to have forgotten.
Lolling right back atcha: Philp himself blamed the weather for boosting small boat crossings back in 2020. "The situation has been compounded by unusually benign weather conditions in the English channel over the summer," he told the Commons back when the Tories were struggling on the issue.
