The cat is well and truly amongst the pigeons. UK Labour have guaranteed they will lose the next General Election. UK PENSIONERS ARE BEING WHIPPED INTO A FRENZY -because they're being told they will lose the triple lock. The right-wing will not stop using this as a war cry against the left.
independent.co.uk
How much will the end of triple lock cost pensioners?
Pensioners will be thousands of pounds worse off in future years after the changes, analysis shows

Earth's life-support systems are in peril — and they're getting worse. According to a report, that was written by more than 60 scientists, seven of the nine identified planetary boundaries have already been breached, including climate change, ocean acidification and biosphere integrity.

'We're rapidly running out of time': 7 of Earth's 9 life support systems already breached, and the situation is getting worse, report warns
Our planet has had its annual health check, and the prognosis is pretty grim. Despite breached planetary boundaries, however, scientists argue that Earth can still have a safe and sustainable future.

I'm part of an amazing team looking at what autistic children want from their speech and language therapy. Nobody has asked them before! We're currently using some brilliant materials, developed with and by autistic people, to make interviews accessible to all children, not just those who speak
What we want: how can Speech & Language Therapy best meet the needs of autistic children?

We are looking for autistic children (9 – 15 years 11 months old) to take part in an adapted interview about their priorities and preferences in Speech & Language Therapy.

We hope our findings will support the development of services in this area.

We are looking for children who can express a choice on these matters, using a total communication approach.  They should have a formal autism diagnosis which follows national clinical guidance on best practice.

If want to ask any questions about eligibility or to find out more generally, please contact us: NDSpeech-LanguageTherapy@manchester.ac.uk

Our team includes experienced & DBS checked autistic researchers & Speech & Language Therapists. Our interviews will be adapted to meet your child’s needs.

Funded by: National Institute for Health Care and Research (NIHR)
Sponsored and conducted by: Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust

Conducted with collaborators: The University of Manchester, The University of Sheffield
