@heatherhop2 @NHSEnglandLDN @MTWnhs Fell down stairs - slippers are a hazard!

Thankful to @NHSEnglandLDN @MTWnhs this evening for a swift journey through A&E, triage, x-ray, assessment, sling and strapping, complementary tetanus jab and home to switch my mtgs to zoom until the end of term - all in less than 2.5 hours #ThankYouNHS ♥️

The chancellor’s 'returnerships' scheme has been slammed as 'all spin and no substance' after the government confirmed it will only be a marketing brand to signpost older workers to existing courses feweek.co.uk/hunts-returner…

Exclusive: This morning the @IFAteched CEO announced that only half of the apprenticeships in line for an 'accelerated' funding increase are still in the process. We find out what's going on (and have the list of what's in and what's out) #FEWeekAAC feweek.co.uk/half-of-appren…

Providers' dashboards should be updated in early April with some more data - but there's still more to do, and should be taken really seriously, @NickLinford says

Looking forward to a busy few days of speeches, workshops, awards dinner and catching up with friends at the @FEWeek Annual Apprenticeship Conference. #FEWeekAAC

Great to visit Darlington College @DarlingtonFE yesterday to see their incredible new T Level facilities - from virtual reality to robotics to electric vehicle engineering. Young people in the North East are getting the opportunity to prepare for the jobs of the future!

@JamesTheo @johntomsett @MrARawlings @GalcottGareth Yeah - combined with the achievement rate dropping below 50% for the 24+ (owing to apprentices not finishing). Pretty shocking use of public funds …e-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/data-tables/fa…

@NickLinford @johntomsett @MrARawlings @GalcottGareth This is awful.

@JamesTheo @GalcottGareth I get your point entirely James, I really do, but the quality of senior/middle leadership and management is crucial to improving schools too as this article highlights.

@JamesTheo @johntomsett @MrARawlings @GalcottGareth And decline at lower levels compared to rise at higher and management levels. I would say this is a big deal (not in a good way) #explore-data-and-files" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">…e-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistic…

@johntomsett @NickLinford @MrARawlings @GalcottGareth I’m not being sarcastic. You have a big voice in education.

@johntomsett @JamesTheo @MrARawlings @GalcottGareth 16-18 down 27% since 2017/18 (levy introduced). 25+ up 6%.

@JamesTheo @NickLinford @MrARawlings @GalcottGareth Where are young apprentices being disadvantaged?
