#BigGardenBirdWatch this weekend engaging service users in meaningful activities…making bird feeders, safe use of tools, hanging feeders & finally sitting mindfully recording the birds they saw. Great way of connecting with nature & our wider communities @cwpnhs @Natures_Voice

Request for an EHCP assessment does not first require schools to have spent &6k of additional support funding on the individual. Potential for heartbreaking consequences of this and other SEND or safeguarding delays…

We hear a lot about the importance of EQ,
But very little about how to develop it.
Here are 19 phrases that people with high EQ use,
And that anyone can start using themselves today.

Children from trauma related backgrounds often struggle with self-regulation .A specific area to start from is the bottom-up approach. Addressing the bodily sensations & limbic reactions. It's about regulating the nervous system to restore balance & reconnect the body .🧠🌱

"Culture is how employees' hearts and stomachs feel about Monday morning on Sunday night."
Leaders: Be honest - how is your team feeling today?
The good news: You can build a great culture, even if it's currently bad:

Are SLT retention difficulties of regional or global significance? 🌎
Great to have had the opportunity to hear from the IALP-ESLA workforce planning group on factors affecting retention. 751 responses from 53 countries…so far
