@DrGarethMorgan Slugs? We’ve lost all the squash, courgettes and beans. Even the bigger hairy ones.

@DrGarethMorgan A beech hedge might work, the leaves turn a gorgeous coppery colour in winter, good for nesting birds too.

@DrGarethMorgan That’s a huge bump! Hope you’re not feeling too bad with it.

This clip concerns me greatly
'Where are these people coming from, we didn't have them in my day'
Other language right there.
Sir, we are better educated now we recognise children who have additional needs & of course our population is growing rapidly

🧵 Clips below: Cllr Hammersley: "Is it something in the water?" "Why are there so many people jumping out with these needs? Where were they when I was at school?" "Why do so many people have this badge of SEND and special needs?" "To stop this spend fix the problem at source"

Let’s be clear, these kids are not “given” support plans, they require them and are legally entitled to them.
It’s worth remembering that such plans would not be necessary if our education system as anywhere near as inclusive as it claims to be.

@theRCOT Hi - looking forward to reading this! I can’t seem to access the full report via the links in the summary page on the website, am I doing something wrong?

Racism and islamophobia have no place in our society. The outdoors is for everyone.
We are proud to support the @Muslim_Hikers as they work to break down the barriers people can face when accessing the outdoors. #OutdoorsForAll (1/2)

The Princess of Wales looks to be launching a sincere & thoughtful campaign, but it's kind of wild that Sure Start was an evidence-based solution to the problems she's raising, was evaluated and found to be wonderfully successful, and we're sort of pretending it wasn't cut.

@claretarling @SchoolsWeek Snap. Inclusive teaching and reasonable adjustments don’t happen. EHCP only recourse after years of falling behind. And even then the school are refusing to implement the plan. LA insists they should be able to, and we’re stuck in the middle.
English
@SchoolsWeek EHCPs are used by parents like me as an accountability tool. Low-level SEN tends to escalate over years of educational neglect. My son’s needs could have been met in mainstream using freely available info on dyslexia. Instead: years of assessments and punishments, trauma.

@jo_gibney Get well soon Jo! Hope recovery is smooth for you x
English
Will be taking a couple of weeks to recover. I'm hoping to meet or rearrange my current commitments, but I won't be taking any new coaching, Zoom or comms enquiries before the middle of January

Yesterday was a visit to the fracture clinic to see if I needed surgery on my wrist. Despite a clean reset, as the swelling went down, the cracked part of my wrist dropped and needed surgery. Which they had space for that afternoon.

Your tips on showering with a temporary cast are most welcome. I'm going to try wrapping it in cling film (with some help)

@hayleypetersEDI Amazing Hayley I could never even manage it with one!! You must have a core of steel!

The resolution against National Trust participation in Pride was not carried; the resolution against ‘rewilding’ also not carried. The resolution calling for an Ombudsman to regulate the Trust was not carried.

@AliBody1 And it took us months to even kick off the referral as the process was so opaque.
English
@AliBody1 I feel your pain. 64 week waiting list in Somerset for a neurodevelopmental pathway assessment. And that’s after a 19 week wait to be triaged.
English
The support services for neuro diverse children is utterly broken!
Got call today saying my son 'qualifies' for an ASD assessment, 2 YEARS after initial referral from school, us & GP - now the wait will be ANOTHER 2yrs at least before he actually receives said assessment....
