Education, youth justice, children's rights and Welsh nationalism are my passion but my family, the coast and food make me smile!

We are very pleased to announce that we have been awarded our BRONZE Armed Forces Friendly Schools' Award @SSCECymru @CaerphillyCBC @FceGyg

Shows what a fantastic job schools in Wales have done for 2 years under immense pressure, and what they had always done before that. Wellbeing should always remain at the heart of any education system. Let’s hope the government use these findings to invest where they should.

One of our school leaders in Wales was asked to submit three priorities for his school in the forthcoming year. My advice? 1. Today 2. Tomorrow 3. The next day. That’s as far as we can go at the moment. This is crisis leadership.

Another U-Turn.

[Dan @biscuitmanDan]

Yet another U-turn. This is no longer about whether you are left, right, Marxist or far right.
This is about competence, making the decision you believe is correct and standing by it.
This is by far the worst government I've known in my 31 years. They are bringing shame to the UK

[Mel Archibald @melnerd]

But what if... governments decide otherwise?
