10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.
At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk
@roisenav@bphillipsonMP But not less than Local Government employees like Social Workers etc they are on the green book scheme like school support staff.
@cchemtraills@bphillipsonMP School support staff are on the same scheme as all Local Government employees so Social Workers, Library staff etc etc. Teachers get six months full pay and six months half pay sick leave per April - March - this is so much better than the NHS!
@SianGriffiths6 This is good news as the delays in diagnosis isnโt helping the situation in schools. Even if you pay for a private diagnosis the NHS wonโt pay for drugs. It all goes hand in hand. NDC waiting list in Oxon is 6 years plus.
@bphillipsonMP@educationgovuk The most important thing is to join up with @wesstreeting and @DHSCgovuk without reform of health services linked to SEND it is pointless. Better diagnosis, treatment and care will help children succeed and find jobs in adulthood.
@BethRigby Having read the detailed statement I have so much compassion for her. Trouble is not everyone will read the detailed statement and the papers report the headlines ๐ข
@CamillaTominey Think he means logo jumper. I agree. Our logo jumpers are ยฃ14 but a school jumper in the same colour from Asda and you get two for ยฃ7. Better quality and can go in the tumble dryer unlike the logo one.
@bphillipsonMP Ties need to be abandoned how many adults now wear ties. I work for the NHS and I rarely see one and never on a woman. Why make the kids uncomfortable.
