Lover of mighty women and real life Amazons. Also @NASSCHOOLS by day - this one's for personal opinions only. Reassuringly unpopular.

[Sam Carlisle @samcarlisle]

My first guest appearance for @SpcialNdsJungle. A review of the Education Select Committee’s latest hearing. 👇🏻

[Claire Dorer @CDorer]

@samcarlisle @ElissaNoves @SpcialNdsJungle @NAHTnews @NASSCHOOLS Thanks Sam!

[Claire Dorer @CDorer]

@sainsburys have had delivery today cancelled with no explanation and the number given to call unstaffed until tomorrow morning! Really poor customer service.

[Claire Dorer @CDorer]

@anitakntweets @ros_luff Also - my top tip to you: if you like cake more than royalty, hit the cake tent the second they wheel the royals out! Went from packed to empty and could get unrestricted access to mini- battenburgs!

[Claire Dorer @CDorer]

@anitakntweets @ros_luff I had a jigsaw made of that photo - advice to a friend, don’t recommend it. Very disturbing assembling your own face and getting it confused with walls!

[Claire Dorer @CDorer]

@ros_luff @anitakntweets I went fascinator for last trip - did feel faintly ridiculous still but felt like a grown up version of deely boppers from 80s so made my peace with it!

@BusGarraf Hola! Por favor, Donde es la parada Placa Espanya para bus e16 a Sitges?

[Claire Dorer @CDorer]

Day in London promoting @NASSCHOOLS manifesto. Take my work seriously - note how shoes coordinate perfectly with our postcards!

[Claire Dorer @CDorer]

@VOTB_Official Of course! It gets a very regular performance in my car and when I am making dinner!

@OVOEnergy After dealing with me as executor for my late mother’s estate for almost 2 years I have today been told my complaint can’t be investigated without her consent! Talk about adding insult to injury - appalling insensitivity. Been waiting for a response for 3 months now!

[Claire Dorer @CDorer]

@BTBusiness why can’t your business contracts be renewed online without need to chat to an advisor? Wasted 35 mins today on this and now told to waste more time on phone. You need to be more sensitive to how you use businesses precious time - there is a cost to us.

[Claire Dorer @CDorer]

@anitakntweets @sdnpa Have a great first day - lots for you to get your teeth into!

[NASS @NASSCHOOLS]

There’s been a lot of discussions recently about payment of school fees by LAs and NASS CEO @CDorer
laid down the law to delegates about what the challenges and potential solutions are for #SpecialSchools #NASSConf23

[NASS @NASSCHOOLS]

Thank you to Matt Bell from SAILS for facilitating the day and driving discussions. It was also fascinating to hear insights from former CEO and headteacher @mattsilveredu into the challenges of leadership and culture in special education

[NASS @NASSCHOOLS]

In London today bringing together NASS members for a collaborative session on tackling the challenges faced by #SpecialSchools in recruitment and retention of its workforce.

Key findings and strategies will be presented at our NASS conference in Birmingham next week #NASSCONF

[Claire Dorer @CDorer]

@anitakntweets If it also had the snell of damp woollen walking socks in it, I’d order some too!

[Claire Dorer @CDorer]

@anitakntweets @amandajp17 @MTWnhs Because they thought you might be a professional athlete and wanted to break it to you gently that your England football career might be over?! Are you going to be up to Cornish gardens next week?

[Claire Dorer @CDorer]

@thehundred @sageuk I don’t think I’ll ever recover from your decision to pay women players only 25% of what you pay male players #GenderPayGap Women’s matches included in all ticket prices and tv coverage - how can you excuse this?

[Nat'l Association for Advancing Autism Education @NatAssnAutismEd]

The survey will be live until Monday 20th March 2023. @NASSCHOOLS @AutisticGirls_ @BeyondAutismUK @SPTrust1 @ACEAutismCentre

@TalkingHeadsOak @SeonaidBeasley @practicematters @readanndix @Faye_Mc82 @SchoolgenieUK @_NorthStarCoach @nourishworkplce @AmySayerAS @VickyPlumuk And to you too Lisa! Been a real day of ‘mansplaining’ in meetings today so have to remind myself the sisterhood is alive and well!
