Today I'm over in Brussels reflecting on social inclusion in apprenticeships, so many lessons to learn listening to colleagues from other countries.

@DuchessSexpert I wrote a chapter in two of my books about 6 years ago basically saying this (albeit about children and teenagers), so true...

I bet the marketing team @IcelandFoods are killing themselves at Noddying people who are trying to win the game...

All ready to host the 2022 National Special Educational Needs and Disability Awards @SENDawards #celebrateinclusion

@MrsBrown_SEMH @cerasmusteach @PookyH @mentalhealthnn Yes, I would say if your SLT and Governing Body can justify the need then it could be a full time role. My one caution would be that it needs to be backed up with a culture that sees everyone as part of mental health ethos & doesn't result in everything being the MHL's job.

@ErgoGeorge We need to talk...

@elleshead @SotonPsych @unisouthampton I would say "oh you've moved out of our office", but as I got unceremoniously kicked out of the office for being part time, it isn't our office. Part timeers aren't entitled to desks...

@RobHollingswor7 Start with your ethos, your values and beliefs, model them and help people understand them. Culture is the behaviour that follows these...

As the children are busy playing with their new toys, I thought I'd get some work done, but it appears that they had other ideas!
