Thread about what you can do if your child faces unfair treatment at an English school due to Afro hair, regardless of how they choose to wear it. Other areas in UK might be different, let us know. We are passionate to #endAfrohairdiscrimination as parents and as a teacher 1/?.

A-level student Ruby Williams won £8,500 in an out of court settlement after her school repeatedly sent her home because they claimed her hair was "too big" - an experience she describes as a "humiliation".

If only someone in the media would expose Farage's incitement yesterday via performative utterance in the same way that Jonathan Miller humiliated Enoch Powell and his grubby little racism.

@johncosgrove405 Yes it is the case sadly. The Governors if the school sacked me but the hospital and Camden watched and are complicit in my humble opinion.

[John Cosgrove @johncosgrove405]

Is it really the case that Great Ormond Street Hospital School sacks teachers for being union reps? It feels like this news story belongs in the 19th century.

Finally, there’s an update on the sad situation in Camden, north London, where a dispute about the management of the Hospital School at Great Ormond Street and University College Hospital is still ongoing.

Parent: “If I was micromanaging everything about my child down to what socks he wears, if I was telling him he couldn’t go to the toilet when he needed to go to the toilet, I would be in front of social services.”

@TheVoiceNews @S_Fleary1 One of my favourite headteachers! Well done!

This story makes me shake my head.

Such a powerful piece on the plight of NEU rep Kate Williams, and the children she has served, at Great Ormond Street and UCL hospital school.

Gobsmacked by this treatment of Kate Williams, an NEU union representative and teacher with 15 years of service at Great Ormond Street Hospital School.
Have a read.

This is the question I posed to the Prime Minister today. I warned Keir Starmer against appointing Mandelson but he went ahead & this disaster continues to damage the Labour Party.
