@SBLCheshire @SBLconnect We moved to SCRTracker in the summer. Just had inspection and it was really easy to show all the detail. It also allows you to run reports on missing information.

@Alison_m_moon @ISBL_news @SBLconnect I second Maggie’s vote for People and Pay - Lancashire based.

@RoscherTracey We moved to Access in April and have removed virtually all paper from our financial processing.

@JayEllePeaElle @sbl365 I had someone ask me if it was worth investing in thermals today. I said yes - already got mine on! Hands are cold though. Lancashire was very glum today.

[Kate Kidd @kkidd06115]

@MaggieDuncan123 Congratulations Maggie!

Does anyone use SCR Tracker #sbm #sbltwitter

[Kate Kidd @kkidd06115]

@l_i_s_s_a_m_e @SBLconnect We are maintained and the LA has worked with us to look at reports so that we can still provide them with monthly accounting data.

@l_i_s_s_a_m_e @SBLconnect We moved to Access in April from FMS. We are now paperless as we can attach invoices /receipts as PDFs and the ordering side allows approvals to be done on system before emailing a PO to suppliers.

@newsomev Rubbish for you! Do you feel worse than last time?

[Kate Kidd @kkidd06115]

@JONeillPE You can do the apprenticeship route but you need certain qualifications to start the course. I can look into this for you if you want?

@JayEllePeaElle @accidentalSBM @SchoolsWeek @miconm @sbl365 It’s on LASBM, part of documents attached to Feb’s conference at Dunkenhalgh.

Does anyone in secondary use Applica+? Can I ask for some advice please #sbltwitter #SBM

[Kate Kidd @kkidd06115]

@Matt_McIver @metoffice It was terrible - the worst so far.

[Kate Kidd @kkidd06115]

@busysbm @accidentalSBM @KellySBM123 We are with a separate payroll provider from LA and they are great. Very responsive and flexible. They are local to Lancs so may be good for you @busysbm (sorry to rest of UK) 😁

[Kate Kidd @kkidd06115]

@busysbm @Coeliac_UK @Tesco @Morrisons @asda I complained to Marks and Spencer about this as we went for lunch and there were no gluten free options. Since then they have introduced one sandwich.

@BussDebbi Leadership scale or UPR with TLR? If on leadership scale you are usually not governed by directed time calculations and therefore can be asked to work in the holidays.

[Kate Kidd @kkidd06115]

@SBMprojects Sent us a leaflet with advice that includes opening windows and cleaning touch points.

@newsomev I once had to pick up one with just an empty crisp packet to defend my hand! Grim!
