Please don't ask what parents do to qualify as being a key worker Remember- children who may be in danger at home, cared for children, and those who are vulnerable may also attend school. Confirming this info to people is not only unnecessary, but may make them more vulnerable

Some great tips from @lhiorns on working from home for managers #smarterworking

[Heather Adam @HeatherEPSIG]

Why do we call people by the very term that we dont want them to be? ‘an offender’. Good step forward.

[InsideTime @InsideTimeUK]

Former prisoners no longer “Offenders”
People on probation are no longer to be called “offenders”. Probation chiefs said they wanted to “reset the language” and use a term that would “resonate” with those under supervision.
