After several years and a lot of hard work sbarc|spark is finally open 🥳. But this is just the beginning and there is a long way still to go. But with open minds, humility, enthusiasm, patience and a bit of entrepreneurial spirit we can do something quite remarkable ⚡️#SPARK

@prossertj Which means you will be right if they are, and right if they are not 😂

[Chris Taylor @profchristaylor]

Academic researchers follow strict ethical guidelines and requirements. But when it comes to practitioner ‘research’ there is often complete disregard for this, including basic consent procedures.

[Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice Cymru @cymru_inquiry]

Staff were allowed to take photos of our dead and dying relatives at @AneurinBevanUHB! Even given access to the morgue! 🤬
Sold the photos in galleries! And no matter what @JudithPagetCEO says - no they did not get permission to take them let alone publish them. What is useful is photos like this which we’re using in the Inquiry to prove they ran out of body bags.

@tombennett71 4. Every school excludes pupils in some form that are not officially recorded https://t.co/m0ZJ8P6LXK

[Chris Taylor @profchristaylor]

@ceritheviking Thought exactly the same!

[Children & Society @CandS_Journal]

There is growing emphasis on considering children’s rights in planning decisions, but adults’ claims to these rights can be problematic, particularly in contested cases. Check Powell, @dr_muddiman, Power & @profchristaylor's new paper to learn more

@dai_alectic @ceritheviking My theory is that the childless household is generational, and will reverse in time. But we won’t be around to prove whether I’m right or not

[Chris Taylor @profchristaylor]

@dai_alectic @ceritheviking Hmm… i think that too easily fits a particular narrative. To ignore the new online third space is problematic. I also see a lot more co working space that didn’t exist 10yrs ago, many more coffee shops than 10yrs ago etc. Admittedly the evidence on this in the UK is very limited

[Chris Taylor @profchristaylor]

This is a great observation, although a little hurtful to me as a social scientist. However, i would suggest that the most common subject discipline of education academics is likely to be English (following surveys we did during the 2000s)

[Carl Hendrick @C_Hendrick]

So much of the inequity in education comes from over-educated middle class people with social science degrees setting terrible policy that actively disadvantages the already disadvantaged.
