@sharon_l_smith Thanks Sharon. Definitely nearly chickened out of doing the section on my own experience but have had loads of lovely supportive messages for braving it.

@DebbieDla1 I can vouch for this. I’m on day 15 and still fully within its grips.

A very long but super inspiring day at work. Highlight was definitely an extended visit to @ushschool to meet with Stuart and the SEND/Inclusion team to hear about the amazing work they are doing to support pupils with SEND and additional needs 🧡

Finding the right words…It’s hard to explain to little children why they are in care. So, today we launched the ‘Little Bear Needs Different Care’ book. Beautiful illustrations by @M1chelleRebello Written by @SouthamptonCC SWs and managers. @Julianwtks @SandyCXShampton

@ElizStanley_ The first 36hrs is hell for them, but both my sons (autism and LD) had them and were much better after the initial discomfort. We had the wax stuff but they were more worried about swallowing that. Paracetamol and pot noodles all the way 🧡

Feeling super proud and inspired after attending the @SouthamptonCC #LoveOurChildren launch event. Very honoured to be able to make this pledge to our kids 💙

👏 Well done to all GCSE students who collected their results today!

👍 Despite a difficult year, we've seen pupils work hard, together with teachers and parents and carers, and everyone should feel very proud of what they have achieved.

What a year.

[Debbie Chase @DebbieDla1]

It’s one year today since our first confirmed CoVid19 case in Southampton. A year of sacrifice and dedication. My thanks to residents and partners for helping us all to stay safe - at Southampton’s Health Overview and Scrutiny this evening 🙏@SouthamptonCC

[Tammy Marks™️ @TammyMarksTM]

@DebbieDla1 @SouthamptonCC And we have you to thank for so expertly and diligently navigating the city and it’s residents, through the storm. @SouthamptonCC is very lucky to have you as it’s permanent DPH 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@dan_ofsted Oh my goodness - he’s lovely and looks similar to Derek! (The dog, not the boss - too much hair for that!)

Just going to leave this here 👇🏻

Ofsted has been deluged with 5,000 emails praising schools since @GavinWilliamson told parents to contact the watchdog with complaints

This booklet may help support young people who may be worried or anxious about coronavirus.

It gets you to think about what is worrying you & gives some practical ideas of what you could do to help.

Sometimes, even just writing down worries can help!
