@samgroves1919 @Martin_Jordan Ditto - I’ve also used the term ‘quick & dirty’ before, but not to be confused with ‘fast & shitty’, - an anti UCD heckle.(!) ‘Informal’ is also a useful qualifier (versus having to do more formal, screened participant recruitment)

@Martin_Jordan @alanmaddrell @benaldo @Mel_Dunkley Glad you enjoyed the quiz 😆Absolute pleasure and inspiring to work with you every day. You’re the best!

This week we're wrapping up work on the GDS user-centred design communities team. Our team has come to an end after 3.5 truly amazing years. We've delivered so much and I feel really privileged to have worked with this team and community and delivered ALL that we did...#govdesign

@KeeleyJR2 @KaraKane_kk @claragt @Martin_Jordan @J__Nicholls Thanks for everything, Keeley!

Today was my last day as part of the UCD team at GDS. I could not have joined a better team of amazing people to bring me into the world of UCD! Thank you @KaraKane_kk @claragt @Martin_Jordan @AFoley @J__Nicholls .. excited to join the accessibility team next week! ✨💥

@lizkessick I did the same this year - I didn’t expect to feel emotional about it, but it got me too. It was great working with you @ CapOne and best of luck for whatever is next!!

End of an era - I've just closed my consulting business. On to new things next month, but for now I'm shedding a tiny tear. Thanks to everyone I've worked with over the past four years, it's been brilliant! 👏

I’m going to give this a try as I’m regularly clueless as to what constitutes good parenting! Plus there’s something really interesting in playing-back survey data everyday to get ‘read’ on family wellbeing at this time.

It’s #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek! Bravery comes in all shapes and sizes and is different for everyone. We all have times when we need to Find our Brave. 💛 Learn more 👉childrensmentalhealthweek.org.uk

@Martin_Jordan Definitely a team effort and a testament to all the good stuff the GDS UCD community is doing!

Great debate happening live here; reviewing tech solutions that are enabling flexible workers... discussing that perhaps 'everyone' in their working life might require flexibility at some point.
