The Real Living Wage is rising by 7% – £13.45 UK / £14.80 London.

Scottish nurseries must pay this to deliver funded childcare. NDNA urges fair funding so they can keep supporting families.

i asked my 5 year old what language is and he said it’s like when words come out of your body and into someone else’s 💕

Human beings need consequences for behaviours, but if you think punishing them into better people with resolve the issue, it's the definition of insanity.
Too many outdated ideas about consequences that do not work anymore. We need to get in line about child development.🧠🌱

[James McTaggart @JamesEdPsych]

Enacting the UNCRC means children have rights to consent, to be consulted, and to complain. But often adult myths about their capacity get in the way.

@JoChamberlain83 and I asked children & young people what they thought of these myths - here is what we learned from them!
