We are continuing to investigate the contents of an email sent to multiple schools and businesses in the Country Antrim area today.

Nothing untoward has been located - and this is not believed to be a credible threat at this time. Full details: https://t.co/5GfpfB15MZ

It's staggering that there's thought to be over £30bn of lost pensions out there. Please share this especially with people who've had multiple jobs. Lets help people reconnect with their cash.

Following further engagement involving the Education Authority, the Department of Health and the Department of Education, the Department of Health has now been able to confirm that nursing support will be made available at each special school summer scheme site.

This represents a workable solution that will enable special school summer schemes to be held this year.

The overriding priority of everyone concerned remains the safety and well-being of children and young people, and EA will continue to work with special school principals to urgently prioritise planning for the summer schemes.

Engagement will also continue on developing and embedding a robust and stable model for year-round health care provision for special schools.

[Education Authority @Ed_Authority]

The Education Authority has set out a planned new educational reform to enhance classroom support for children with special educational needs.

The changes are aimed at delivering the best possible outcomes for our children and young people.

Details of the Enhanced Support Model have been provided in an EA briefing paper. It is to be introduced in a phased process over a number of years, starting later this year.

A great actor

The Godfather is my favourite film of all time. It was hard to shine in the exalted company of Brando, Pacino, Keaton, Caan, and so many more, but Robert Duvall did. What an innings too. May he rest in peace.

Hamnet's director Chloe Zhao used to lead the cast and crew in group dances after a stetch of heavy filming.
This from the final day of filming at The Globe is completely wonderful.

Almost 20,000 parents used the Belfast Trust Children's Symptom Checker in December. It could help you decide if your child does not have to attend our Emergency Department. @healthdpt https://t.co/jle5WeNjVQ

🚨 Our Adult Emergency Departments are under extreme pressure.

⚠️ Please only attend an ED if your condition is life threatening, urgent or needs immediate attention.

🕗 Anyone attending with a non-urgent condition will have a very long wait to be seen.

@JP_Biz So sorry for your loss. Thoughts with you and the family.

The Education Authority has again made clear that pupils receiving free school meals will not be affected by the increase in school meal prices next month.

The Free School Meal Allowance will be increased to allow for the price uplift.

This is set out in the update on our savings plans published here: https://t.co/YTydjnAHwN

Reporting a budget from a devolved nation: Central Govt ministry (NIO etc) will say it means Barnett consequentials of unparalleled generosity; devolved finance ministry will say, au contraire, it’s a single teaspoon of hot gravel. It will take days to get to the bottom of this.
