Completed two valuable and interesting online courses with the #NHS Solihull Approach.

✔️ Understanding #attachment
✔️ Understanding #brain #development

I would highly recommend this training for those working with children (0-18).

“It is a portrait of two Britains, one of which barely comprehends the challenges facing the other.” My ‪@theobserveruk.bsky.social column: observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

Britain’s social fabric has been torn but it’s just easie...

The real causes of serious problems are ignored and those responsible are let off the hook

Not one answer - as variety is important.
High quality engaging texts: written, audio or video.
Linking to other aspects of curriculum, real purposes can inspire.
Important to give voice and choice:
Who writing as?
Who and why writing for?
What format?
