When OFSTED came in they asked to be taken to the hardest teacher. I said it was me and I had to fight the HMI in the playground whilst all the other inspectors stood round in a circle chanting “fight” until Amanda Spielman came and broke it up. I got outstanding for my jab.

A great reason to walk but most importantly a better reason to talk. They have a rest day today but take a look at the route and go a offer support if you can. @RAFAC_MHealth 3dadswalking.uk/the-2022-rou…

Off to my local police station to see if it is actually possible to speak to a human. Didn’t realise it was this difficult to get help for a victim of domestic violence. Got her to a safe place but on a mission now!

Last day of training for our cadet advocates today. A big thank you to the members of the MH&R training team who have supported the 14 training sessions since last Sunday. Am really excited to see what we can achieve next week.

What an outstanding tweet to read! I know how much @RAFAC_MHWR and her team have invested in this and the only reason is to better support our cadets! Simply amazing to see this come to fruition - well done all involved!

Over the past week, our volunteers have delivered 14 virtual training sessions, following which we are delighted to welcome 275 Cadet #MentalHealth Advocates to our team!
That's enough to ensure around a quarter of all @aircadets squadrons have their own Advocate!

A very productive day with @RAFAC_MHWR getting ready for the muster tomorrow and developing the new FTF mental health course. Looking forward to delivering it myself very soon. @RAFAC_MHealth

2 year anniversary of my life-changing stroke. So much has changed and so many people treat me differently. I’m still me but very few people see that. I have a unique insight into disability but people see what I can’t do rather than what I can. Remember to be kind people. X
