Always look for the why, get curious not cross. Every member of a school community deserves to feel safe in school. It’s such a complex issue and not one schools can be expected to tackle in isolation www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is so needed in the sector right now. Hopefully the full pay award is covered and separately to the LA delegated budgets. www.gov.wales/2255m-fundin...

Great news. Congratulations to Baroness Shriti Vadera. Lots to build on as the creative industries are disproportionately disadvantaged at times of austerity.

The sector needs to stop, listen, and engage… forcing chn into schools that cannot support their needs, or worse, place them in a constant state of stress, is immoral. We are punishing chn and families for struggling within a system that was not built for them. www.linkedin.com/posts/adam-v...

www.theguardian.com/society/arti... Not new news to those involved in education/CYP health & wellbeing, but a sobering reminder of the task ahead. Has to be a multi agency approach - education alone shouldn’t be asked to solve all society’s ills. But it should be inclusive and adaptable.

Hello @edusky.bsky.social Interested to hear how the new academic year has started for colleagues. Key personal goals this year? Curriculum conundrums? Creative approaches to T&L? What feels different so far? How can governance better support you?
