@oatfedgoat @StewartGH1970 @AndyBoutle @Ben_on_BIM You will find much of the time that it is the contractor who pays employee and employer NI from their day rate. What IR35 is driving is a lot of inflexibility within the employment sector. Construction workflows of peaks and troughs likely mean higher redundancy rates.

Working overtime on a new project this weekend to empower kids everywhere. Calling on my forever friends - the inspirational #AEC community that has always had my back, to lend me their ears. @MicrosoftUK and @MicrosoftEDU employees - your help would be incredible too. Please RT.

Great to see @ClassofYourOwn @DECinSchools in AEC magazine. Industry links are so important to Design & Technology teaching.

@HP_BIM_Wizard @UKBIMAlliance @ACKEMPO @UKBIMFramework Congratulations Anne. You work so tirelessly and it’s very much deserved.

[Alexandra Grounds @AlexCGrounds]

@LDN_BIMman @DigiConWeek @DECinSchools @educationgovuk It needs to happen and more people within the Industry should be supporting it. The eco-classrooms are such brilliant days. I love them.

@annaturley @VictoriaLIVE 22 years living with pain and everything else that comes with this disease before my diagnosis and by then I was in so much pain I couldn’t walk without being very heavily drugged. Even 13 years later, 3 major ops later, a totally GF diet, I can still at times struggle.

[Anna Turley MP @annaturley]

At the BBC to talk about their excellent report on #endometriosis on @VictoriaLIVE. It’s a condition which affects 1 in 10 women but diagnosis is very slow & the condition can be debilitating. Important to raise awareness cos we don’t talk about it because it is ......#menstrual

[Alexandra Grounds @AlexCGrounds]

@sarahrocklaw @Cristiano Totally agree. Saw it in my parents and extended family and I always try to give 100% and do the best I can, sometimes it doesn’t work, but I try to learn from that.

[Alexandra Grounds @AlexCGrounds]

@sarahrocklaw @GowlingWLG_UK @PrideInLondon Absolutely awful and completely agree with you.

[Mr Mcdonagh @daniel_mcdonagh]

Here’s an article from CES on @DECinSchools and the impact it had on @Ambrose6form student Stephen Harvey, who is now an assistant land surveyor for Jacobs:

@becdecicco @clarkrob I know this is a very rough broad brush answer, but take a look at the organisation you work in/for, see the people in the various roles to show you the issue for the industry. To change it, it has to be a major cultural change for the industry to move forward.
