An amazing night at @HamiltonMusical yesterday with @brumhippodrome. Saw it in the West End a couple of years ago, but I have to say, this cast were even better. An incredible show ♥️ @NeversBilly @TAYLORSHAQ_

It is ! Hope you are well Chris and the EH Team continue to be great 😀

@JTurnross Sounds like a great opportunity, Jenny! This is so needed in Birmingham

Social workers, Early Help workers ? 🙏

@2ndry_Teacher @SafeSENCOSaeed this brings back memories in the freezing cold huts at HT 🤣

Who else taught this?

@SafeSENCOSaeed As the great @DrGaborMate said “we equate discipline with punishment but the word shares the same root as disciple. A disciple is somebody who follows, somebody who learns. How do we get our kids to follow us? We do it by warm nurturing relationships in which we set the example”.

I know your uniform isn't perfect because you were up until 2am looking after your siblings, as your ill mum can't&I know you were late this morning because she cried, as there was no food in the house for breakfast. I'm just being caring when I'm being strict with you! #sarcasm

@SafeSENCOSaeed 18yrs ago you started teaching me 🤣 one of the best teachers ever!

Where does the time go? One minute, I'm the youngest member of my dept as an eager NQT. The next, I'm driving to work as one of the oldest members of my team, whilst blasting Phil Collins in my car....

@SuePenna1 Really great bunch who truly embodied the core principles of TI Practice 🥰

A fantastic two days with @Cranstoun_org completed. Lots of reflective space 🪞 ,💡 moments, laughter 😆 and most importantly, connection with their colleagues from across the UK. @SuePenna1 @JoMajauskis @rockpoollife

In Milton Keynes for the next two days, creating some reflective opportunities with @Cranstoun_org and supporting some of their CYP staff to be more curious when connecting with young people who are living with the impacts of trauma @rockpoollife @SuePenna1 @JoMajauskis

@RtdChiefMat @WMPolice Best of luck with the retirement, Mat! Thank you for all you’ve done to bolster partnerships in Birmingham, and valuing the importance of connections.

Today I retire 😮 32 yrs of policing across Thames Valley, MPS & @WMPolice Looking forward to the future, I reflect on the dedicated colleagues & amazing communities I've had the privilege to serve with & serve. Special thought to those colleagues that haven't made it 🙏🙏 👋

Looking forward to spending some time with @KnowsleyCouncil on behalf of @rockpoollife later this week, to introduce the #ABCofTrauma Framework 💜 🟢 @SuePenna1 @JTurnross

@lara_timms @Bhamchildtrust @mkershaw_uk @s28oph @CouldrickAndy @NatalieLoon @jake4shaw Take Care, Lara! Best of luck in your new role 🥰

I’ve been spoilt. I have enjoyed my time @Bhamchildtrust so much. I have grown and learnt. I entered a baby sw I leave enriched. It’s been a blast. I will miss the amazing people I have met along the way. @mkershaw_uk @s28oph @CouldrickAndy @NatalieLoon @jake4shaw 2 name a few!

@mkershaw_uk Is it strange that I can ‘feel’ that photo…

Sometimes you just need a bit of stillness to quiet the mind...... #Orkney
