@SteveKayFRSA Everyone loves a nana nap 😴

Brain melting 🫠 after a useful and productive day - I wonder if Nana naps are a thing in public services anywhere in the world?

A fabulous day in #Sheffield supporting their voice of the child work in children’s services.

I spent the day in Sheffield with a group of practitioners as they roll out their voice of the child project. This is of course serious business, but we still made sure we found the time to try and understand what it feels like from a young person’s perspective! #voiceofthechild

Exciting day for us ⁦@weareamitycic⁩ with ⁦@TamesideCouncil⁩ rolling out our ARDAT framework to understand parental conflict and early signs of coercive control

Such a brilliant time in Cambridge and with ⁦everyone we met ⁦@RuddCambridge⁩ ⁩ - understanding the research and thinking about how this helps children and their families.

Here at the APPG Family Hubs - key messages about early years and brain development #familyhubs #SEND

If we want to children to thrive, we have to support the mental health of their parents. Children’s mental health starts with the wellbeing of adults who care for them. Supporting parents IS supporting children.

I love working with @SheffCouncil and I also love the train ride through the Peak District national park! #sheffield #peakdistrict #kinderscout

When debate turns to violence to silence it’s not just alarming, it’s a warning. Dialogue and disagreement are the backbone of decent democracy. Silencing with force is deeply worrying.

A scenic view of cows grazing in a field in Scotland. And yet, the Climate Change Committee have recommended Scotland cut its livestock herds by 27% by 2040 for Net Zero targets. Completely ridiculous.

@SteveKayFRSA Good luck today - Sheffield are such awesome people to work with!

Hello 👋

It’s time to end this ridiculous notion that cows are bad for the planet. It’s the exact opposite.

@inner_psy That’s ridiculous! Hope you still managed to enjoy despite the dent in the wallet 😊

A humanist is a non-religious person who shapes their own life in the here and now, because they believe it's the only life they have. #thatshumanism

@cheshirelife One for our list @inner_psy 😀

The scientific method is our most reliable tool for understanding nature, explaining the world, and uncovering truths about the universe. For humanists, it not only offers answers – it also sparks profound questions and wonder. Find out in our #Thatshumanism videos narrated by Stephen Fry.

#OnThisDay 1977: Thanks for the Memory - The Viewer's View asked people what they thought about television. This woman was likely approached for a snappy vox pop, but ended up delivering something closer to a dramatic monologue.
