@Ukgovsread @NGAEmmaK @NGAMedia We will miss you, @NGAEmmaK. I appreciate that you would always thank governors and trustees as part of whatever you were communicating. Thank you for being our voice. Wishing you all the best x

@Ukgovsread With adequate funding and suitable and available local services, yes

@jmrodden @AlRicNLG @IGovS1 @HoyleRosemary @melaniemay04 @5Naureen @neilayates @Aizenay95 @lisaellenjames @UKGovChat Guided tension? Interesting. It's important that a range of voices and views are heard, in meetings and over time. I'm thinking recruitment, who's invited to present and wider engagement by and on behalf of the Board. We can do this, respectful of each other's roles

@IsabelleCandy1 @AlRicNLG @IGovS1 @HoyleRosemary @melaniemay04 @5Naureen @neilayates @jmrodden @UKGovChat I would love to do that reflecting, but the summer term and its aftermath always feels 2-3 weeks too long and I'm crawling towards the finish line! Maybe I need to get it started by half term?

@melaniemay04 @Aizenay95 @AlRicNLG @IGovS1 @HoyleRosemary @5Naureen @neilayates @jmrodden @lisaellenjames @UKGovChat @McBreartySinead @EdSupportUK @brownejacobson Interesting and sad that more than one gov is saying it's been their most difficult year. It's been the first year I've wondered if it's just too hard, as chair and as a SAT... and that's with good relationships (HT, board) and network

@JaPenn56 @KingsCollegeNHS Sad to hear this, so sorry for your loss

[Janet Maria Gordon @jmgordon]

@WirralGov Get well soon 💐

[Janet Maria Gordon @jmgordon]

@NGAEmmaK @NGASamH Thank you for everything you've done for governance. Looking forward to the book!

The most precious commodity is time, without this, how do we have the space to make strategic decisions...great quote from Sinead McBrearty from @EdSupportUK.

How do we ensure this ourselves as Governors and seek support when its challenging too???

@HoyleRosemary @AlRicNLG @IGovS1 @neilayates @melaniemay04 @5Naureen @jmrodden @Aizenay95 @UKGovChat @NGAMedia There's a plan - one key insight to share or an action to share (and make sure to do that). Thank you

@AlRicNLG @IGovS1 @HoyleRosemary @neilayates @melaniemay04 @5Naureen @jmrodden @Aizenay95 @UKGovChat Tips welcome ahead of the @NGAMedia conference 🙂

[Janet Maria Gordon @jmgordon]

@AlRicNLG @IGovS1 @HoyleRosemary @neilayates @melaniemay04 @5Naureen @jmrodden @Aizenay95 @UKGovChat If you've cracked this, please tell me. I listen intently with interest, make many notes, despair just before lunch, come away with good intentions, then get caught up in trying to keep up with where we are, with just peripheral, fuzzy impact from the conference. What works?
