On an early spring day in London, I give thanks to those who speak out in truth, and without rancour, to governments and organisations. Over recent days – Masih Alinejad (https://t.co/U43ASbGkjr) and Gary Lineker (@GaryLiniker).
We all want to belong and be accepted.

@AntonFlorek His particular skill was in honing in on an issue -such as moral leadership - in a way that made you sit up. Great fun to work with. John - thank you and Bless you. Kathryn

@GeoWalshe @CHWAlliance @CambridgeCandI @UCL_CCCSE And that sense of belonging in nature is what will enable young people to live on this planet with dignity, mutual respect and joy! What a lesson for us all.. And well done with your project.

Finished the last of three sessions last night at UCL, with MA leadership students : the ‘why’ ‘what’ and ‘how’ of leadership. They are compassionate, inquiring and aware of life’s realities. Went home very optimistic ! All they need are the resources to deliver !!!

@MichaelCRalph @drkellyallen Absolutely agree. A superb review which adds to knowledge in the field,

@Icsei_3P @ICSEIglobal @icsei2023 @look2leaders @MutheuKasanga @ib_alhouti @stefaniacapogna @salmanzayed @KarenSeashore @RominMadrid @AntonFlorek @melcm I wrote a book some years .. my favourite title- ‘Whose School is it Anyway? We’re leaderless in the Uk. Across the globe uncertainties grow. It’s time to build/ rebuild community connections and enable young people to recognise their agency - locally and globally.

As a co-founder of the @TASC_org, Princess Eugenie visited the #ArtIsFreedom exhibition in Trafalgar Square.

The exhibition was curated by HRH and two survivors of modern slavery, alongside @Hestia1970. It aims to raise awareness of the modern slavery.

This is more alarming than just a shift in job roles… it no longer recognises victims as victims. It denies the existence of 1 in 4 victims being Brits

Thanks to everyone who was a part of yesterday’s School Belonging Colloquium. Our Question: What actions should we be taking NOW to help create a sense of belonging and agency for young people and staff?

[Prof Kathryn Riley @kriley_prof]

@LDH_ed @attendanceworks @LPI_Learning And .. attendance is linked to a sense of connectedness and belonging .. As important for staff as it is for young people !

@AntonFlorek Thanks Anton.. so depressing but also so predictable ! Once upon a time …. there was something called ‘Sure Start’ - or is that a figment of my imagination?

[The Democracy and Belonging Forum @dandbforum]

When "just getting along" isn't enough: Is belonging possible in a world rooted in othering? https://t.co/JvC8k00WCI

[Prof Kathryn Riley @kriley_prof]

@BarkingMc What a well-crafted and timely read! My own work shows how creating a sense of school belonging can strengthen young people’s sense of belonging in their neighbourhood.

@BBCWorld Sitting in Singapore Airport as I read this.. admiring the rainbow which has just emerged over the Botanical Gardens !

@FloraSCooper @TTRadio2022 @ottleyoconnor @rondelle10_b @TeachMrN @Headteacherchat Start by being compassionate to yourself . .. you’ll then be in a great place to grow compassion in your school !!! Best of luck !

@MagsWatson1 @ProtschkySusie @tigerinstemm @wiasnofficial @AcademicChatter @academia Interesting debate .. I’m an academic and hands-on grandparent .. I’m amused how often I’m asked to do something ‘very important’ to them on a non- work day! Looking back, I was too apologetic ! Not any more .. My advice - for any parent - is speak out !!
