The BBC, in association with Agence France-Presse, the Associated Press, and Reuters, has launched a short film calling on the Israeli authorities to allow international journalists access to Gaza. Read more: bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/20…

Keep EHC plans for special educational needs, MPs say - BBC News share.google/Go70FjMh1BcyVT… Still scarred by fighting an obstructive local authority all the way to tribunal (took years!) to get a fit for purpose EHCP. I'd like to see accountability strengthened, not a "backstop"

@WestMidRailway Already 1.5 hours late on a journey from Milton Keynes to Liverpool (cancelled train, next one late) and zero attempt by train staff to keep updated on timings and changes. None. Oh and the toilet is overflowing and they've done nothing about that. Sign made by me

Indefensible. Spending money on defending cases they can't win, so parents will give up, or they will delay provision to children in need. We had this with @lpoolcouncil We won & had a complaint upheld as their withholding therapy can never be undone. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/d…

The internet: "Holding space" for Defying Gravity. Me: "But did you know it has an ambiguous tonal centre and the staccato articulations represent courage and defiance?" Every day's a learning day. #wicked @bbcbitesize bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guide…

Dear #postadoption social workers. The five page form you send in advance of the meeting to assess for support is Part Of The Problem. If I wanted to write an essay, I would do an opinion piece for a national newspaper.

Going to the Manchester date tomorrow. Very excited it has to be said. theguardian.com/music/2024/nov…

When your major achievement is getting an anxious kid to the station on time for a cinema trip, but you forget that Merseyrail cannot run to its own timetable. Happy Saturday!

@KatieThistleton @AlexHarris4Real Ahhhh congratulations. Lovely news!

We’ve been married 3 gorgeous years today🥹, feels like a good time to announce the next chapter. Watch for a surprise 👶 🤰 🍼 @AlexHarris4Real

Chancellor Rachel Reeves announces a 2.3% core schools budget increase, £300m for FE, and "to improve outcomes for our most vulnerable children and ensure the system is financially sustainable I am providing a £1 billion uplift in funding- a 6% real terms increase from this year"

Good to hear about money for #SEND in the budget. The word "reform" makes me twitchy though. We need #accountability. In my experience, we have a clear framework, but LA stick two fingers up at parents and say "you can't make us" then draw out lengthy, expensive tribunals.

@SLT_Francesca @DavidMc80397417 Parent, not SALT. Liverpool SALTs do this. Completely lost faith in their professional integrity as they won't answer direct questions about needs & write nonsense "advice" based on their service level. Told us their service level says they have to offer advice and no therapy.

This is anonymous, have you ever had to write reports based on service constraints with your service i.e you knew a child needed more but had to cap at 12 hours etc? This is completely anonymous - just interested seeing the data

@WordsFromLiam @taylorswift13 There was still a little taped section and bouncers this afternoon. But no queue. Almost like this is just marketing...

Almost as long as the line for the @taylorswift13 piano that was in Bluecoat gardens.

@chamiltonbbc She is inspiring! I hope the action amounts to more than "grandparent" type extras though. There's a big problem with homelessness and with 16/17 year olds in unsupported accomodation eg hostels.

In my job I am lucky enough to meet lots of inspiring and eloquent people - and this care leaver was right up there with the most memorable interviews of my career. I applauded when she finished speaking! Care leavers voices deserve to be heard: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@ZenInternetHelp You installed full fibre broadband today. Worked great for about 6 hours then stopped. We think you've switched it off. Nothing wrong our end. Troubleshot. Your technical helpline queued for 40 mins & hung up. No outages. Your app does nothing. How to fix?

Dressed to Impress at the #RDC24 Awards last night with @cazsotorrio and @itsjustnich0las I've met a lot of talented young devs, designers and creatives over the last few days.

Roblox Devs and their hats. Jackpot! #RDC24
