There’s actually quite a complicated issue here about who does and should have access to information at the point where it is investigatory and nothing has been firmly evidenced/decided either way, and it’s not at all clear how this legislative proposal would actually work in practice.
Investigation: Dozens of councils do not hold data on how many home-educated children are subject to child protection enquiries – suggesting many are underprepared for new duties to protect vulnerable children

Interesting exploration of 'I do/we do/you do' and 'guided - independent practice' from Tom Sherrington. If things feel too linear and straight-forward, they probably need more thinking! All the details matter.

At St James’ Church at Cooling in Kent are still to be seen the 13 children’s graves surrounding that of their parents that inspired Dickens to write the opening chapter of Great Expectations.

I guess even the folk memory of the huge mortality of childbirth and early life is now disappearing.

Definitely going to give this a listen!
My conversation with Keziah Featherstone hit me right in my rebel heart. I cannot cope with the flat packed Ikea version of leadership. Real leadership takes courage, clarity, messiness, and a bit of rebellion.

If you feel the same, listen in.

“The range indicates that at least one pupil claimed to be in isolation all day, every day.”

Another reminder for this: Yesterday’s blog post.

I'm not sure what the difference between some of the terms used in this article is.
Isolation and seclusion just sound the same. And there is not clarity as to what 'removal' is.
Most schools i have worked in would 'remove' a pupil to another classroom for the remainder of a lesson for behaviour?
Exclusive: Schools will face a legal duty to record their use of non-disciplinary isolation and report it to parents under plans being developed by the government

I was tagged and asked to take a look at this claim - cos, well just look at it!🙄

Does it seem plausible that THE Trocadero is going to be turned into a Mosque?
