Really excited to start this part of our EpicEPR journey - getting the right hardware in the right place will be a key aspect of our success. Also very proud to now be CNIO at ESNEFT and continue to work with such an incredible team.

Launching a local initiative this winter by staff, for patients! It is to give us a focus on the top priorities in order to make a difference and provide harm free care to those spending an extended length of stay. The use of 'CODE WINTER' to focus the care when under pressure!

OFSTED IS NOT A FAIR PLAYING FIELD
(A FOOTBALL ANALOGY)
A school receiving an Outstanding Judgement in an affluent area is a very different prospect and achievement to a school with very high deprivation (statistically 4x less likely).
Just like, if Man City wins the FA Cup, few people are surprised but, if my beloved Hartlepool Utd win it, the world goes crazy, we have the biggest party of our lives and Netflix probably does a documentary about it.
So, it got me thinking about various teams winning the FA Cup.....
What about the part-timers (the small school club) where the manager is also the kit man, the water boy and drives the team coach?
What about the disadvantaged club, whose players have disproportionately higher mental health issues, have lived in poverty from birth & their health is (statistically) much worse than their more affluent peers?
What about the inadequate club who nobody wants to play for, whose coaching staff are broken, who struggle with retention issues and whose morale has been zapped by a poor judgment?
What about the insolvent club (deficit budgets due to lack of funding) who can't afford to employ the back-office staff or the equipment essential to keep the club running?
What about the inclusive club who let anyone and everyone play, a broad and welcoming church, who work day and night to make sure that their players enjoy school, are well-looked after and thrive?
What about the team that gets knocked out in the semi-finals because of a bad refereeing decision that the whole world could see but VAR wasn't allowed because the referee is always right (no independent complaints process).
What about the primary team taking on the secondary team (same framework for both - different game)?
What about the team full of players who need the game adapting or additional support (no PRU or special school places) so they keep playing, risking their own mental health and development?
What about the low attendance team who, no matter what they try, can't get their players to turn up for training or who check in late to games?
What about the fact that you've trained for months and years, you've made it to the final, but you don't know when it will be and then you only get 24 hours notice before kick off?
Amazing things are happening in football, from the grassroots through to the Premier League. Just like amazing things are happening in every school, despite their own unique challenges.
It wouldn't be fair to judge all clubs by the same criteria, so why use crude, nuance-lacking, high-stakes judgements for our schools?
