the loss of the World Service would be a tragedy and huge lost of soft power for Britain

I've only just caught up with this excellent, accessible article which, will be of interest to anyone teaching RSHE / PSHE. Please do share: www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

Thank-you for sharing this challenging research Lucy. As education becomes increasingly evidence-informed, our R(S)HE/PSHE provision needs to be more effective in using approaches that are more likely to improve the learning and life chances of children and young people.

This is not an interpretation that respects the rights of everyone. Those of us with transgender children are now being asked questions like 'why does the whole world hate us' and 'am I going to be beaten up if I try to go to the toilet?' and 'do you think someone will hate me enough to kill me?'

I doubt we will see clear guidance anytime soon. Instead we will have 100 schools implementing 100 different responses. It will be a mess of court cases and appeals for months or years. In the meantime young people will suffer being political footballs for adults fighting.

Our 'Empowering Young People to Change the World' online teachers conference series, begins 24 April. The first of 20x90mins FREE CPD sessions, feat. Abbas Husain, @petehj.bsky.social & @pshesolutions.bsky.social BOOK NOW via: forms.office.com/e/BuxAWHJcHP #EYP2CtW25 #EduSky

It will be interesting to see if schools are now given any guidance on ‘ gender questioning’ children and young people. The Observer view on Equality Act ruling: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The importance of #RSHE #PSHE to keep pupils safe and improve learning should not be underestimated - especially when teachers do not feel adequately trained to address these societal challenges: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Although I am a strong advocate for 'pupil voice', there a number of reasons that the brilliant drama 'Adolescence' should not be shown in schools. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The need for high-quality R(S)HE/PSHE, and funding for teachers CPD has never been greater to keep children safe and enhance their learning and life chances: www.bbc.com/news/article...

So many excellent PSHE resources available (many free) here, please do share:

Today, the @schoolcuts.bsky.social coalition (ASCL, @naht.org.uk @neunion.bsky.social @ngauk.bsky.social & Parentkind) are holding a parliamentary briefing for MPs on the financial crisis currently facing schools across the nation. Joint press release: ow.ly/r7rz50VezeI #education #stopschoolcuts

We desperately need change-Leaders are stuck in a system where funding is only unlocked after an EHCP is secured.Its a system designed for conflict.Parents forced to battle schools.Schools forced to ration support And the children at the heart of it? They’re left waiting. www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

Who could have predicted this?

‘High and Rising Standards!’ Nobody would argue against this ambition of course, but what does it actually mean – and how are we going to achieve this? www.sec-ed.co.uk/content/blog...

Teaching media literacy is essential if we are to keep pupils safe and secure online. It also has a democratic/political element too. Article written for @seced.bsky.social . Reposted👇. #edusky #uked #education #citizenship #pshe #schools #safeguarding mrjoneswhiteboard.blog/2025/02/02/t...

This is reassuring, to an extent, but how curious that @educationgovuk fail to mention the crucial role of PSHE to address knife crime:

This is such an important component of public health, I really hope that @DHSC and @educationgovuk make the links with @educationgovuk and the statutory components of PSHE / R(S)HE www.gov.uk/government/n...

I'm just wondering why people ask to connect here, but say nothing about themselves or their personal/professional roles or interests?

NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...

Right now we need positive stories showing diversity in the UK and challenging stereotypes in schools. This assembly will help. Free plan here #NoOutsiders #Belonging no-outsiders-assembly.blogspot.com/2025/01/foot...

Spending time online can leave you with a warped view of the world and that's a shame. Good people have always outnumbered bad people and things generally get better. Hold onto that x

Leeds have kept 27 clean sheets in 2024, our highest tally in a single calendar year since 2009 (also 27). You would have to go as far back as 1972 to find the last time Leeds managed more in a single year when we kept 31 clean sheets. #LUFC

What do you call Clacton's should-be-local MP? Nigel Mirage.

I'm dipping my toe back into work today, but that's because I've got a brilliant challenge to help you have a happier and calmer 2025. On email here - dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/570160... Or in my free FB group here www.facebook.com/groups/thein... Little things that will make a big difference!

As I've argued Britain is unusually good at integration and it's something we should be proud of, while acknowledging where there is still work to do.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. Repost if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Right?

Rather than adding to teachers burdens by ‘forcing’ parents (not sure how that would work), should we not be investing in training to enable teachers to better understand mental health, neuro diversity and the causes of some pupils behaviour?

Literally crying hearing how French women applaud Gisele Pelicot every day as she walks out of court. #r4today Everywhere around the world women watch & applaud her bravery too. She stood up for all of us. Because the shame has to switch sides.
