I'm after some funding info, please. Do any of my lovely connections know if/how schools can apply for funding to support a KS2 child with Disability Living Allowance? Many thanks. #sbm #sbl

@accidentalSBM @SpecialSchSBM Thank you. I've been told my recovery will depend on how determined I am! That'll be a full recovery then! I now just need to be patient... x

[Nickii Messer #allthegeese @NickiiMesser]

@SpecialSchSBM Bless you, thank you. Its going to be a long haul, but I loved your post. I was treated with such care and dignity by male and female staff, doing 12 hour shifts, from different corners of this earth we share. I simply do not understand racism. xx

[Nickii Messer #allthegeese @NickiiMesser]

@CateTyduCymru @MrsHeadteacher Thank you so much @CateTyduCymru
@MrsHeadteacher if I can help, please do let me know. I'm so pleased to see this is for all staff. So important, and very much my thing!

What is it like to be married to a narcissist/psychopath/coercive controller?

1. Scary. You know they will punish you if they are not happy with you. They sometimes suddenly launch into a powerful rage.
2. Hurtful. They put their wants and needs first. They sabotage things that make you happy.
3. Confusing. They sometimes say and do nice things.
4. Abusive. They might physically hurt you or remove access to money or rape you or scream at you or stand over and yell at you for hours about reasonable requests or compromise your children.
5. Frustrating. They often block, delay or postpone decisions that are important to you.
6. Confidence-reducing. They demean, belittle and minimise you and your needs and points you make.
7. Lonely. They often control who you can see or make your relationships with others difficult. There is no such thing as real partnership.
8. Anxiety-inducing. You often know they are lying but they never acknowledge it so you are in a constant state of wondering and second guessing. Fact is, they are always leading a double life. They leave things until the last minute, rearrange plans, get you to do a lot of work then ignore the results, take actions that ensure you are always on egg shells.
9. Soul destroying. You do things to keep the peace, none of which support you.
10. Isolating. You don’t really know how to tell people what you are experiencing.

Have I missed any?

Good to see @BBCSpringwatch back. Orange tip butterflies might be struggling nationally, but they are mating in the Staffordshire Moorlands this week #springwatch

@SpecialSchSBM @sparklyquark Won't let you is not the same as Can't let you. Don't settle for Won't xx

@schoolbusmgr @SBLconnect @jus_chameleon can you help or signpost please?x

[Nickii Messer #allthegeese @NickiiMesser]

@Headteacherchat First unpick the detail. Who is causing /imposing so many changes? What is focus of staff discontent? Don't settle for heresay, ask. "Efforts seem unappreciated" - ok, but find out what staff do/don't appreciate. What is the culture? "Culture eats strategy for breakfast"
