@Archibfam Thanks for writing this, Claire - such a thoughtful piece, and clearly identifies the risks to schools. Without muscular legislation, there will be some major slippage, and we have to look to the regulator for motivation to comply, which feels... wrong?

@IRISParentMail A school made contact about parent permissions changing without their intervention - a parent suddenly had admin access and saw others' details. Permissions reset, but there are other inconsistencies in their system. Who do we contact to investigate the breach?

I adored Dido Twite - the mischievous, curious, intrepid heroine of Joan Aiken's books. An absolutely wonderful character. Today I'll try to be more Dido - she never let anything stand in her way.

[Lizza Aiken💙💛 @LizzaAiken]

Croopus! It's the first of March - Happy Dido Twite Day!
Joan Aiken's big hearted heroine knew the way to make a friend was to share a secret, or a birthday...so when's yours?
Come and meet her here:
