Last few places available for this Autumn. How about a free (fully-funded) leadership programme tailored to your role or one you’re aspiring to and packed full of evidence-informed content?
Please share especially if you have #SocialCare colleagues in your network #SocialWork

The Pathways programme empowers #socialwork leaders to navigate their roles, support their teams and create a culture which prioritises children and families above all else. Find out more and apply today: bit.ly/3KkkDCM

Back in person for a superbly organised AGM and conference by @CIPDSouthYorks
The other speakers were so interesting and varied in their content. Lots of takeaways and well worth the trip. #CIPD

Twitter hive mind pls help!
Does I know anyone who’s a palaeontologist or otherwise expert in all things dinosaurs who’d be willing to be interviewed over Zoom by some lovely primary school kids based in Spain (Tenerife)? RT

Bloody hell @RNLI watching #SavingLivesAtSea is an emotional rollercoaster. Pls remind everyone that these heroes are VOLUNTEERS. If you’ve been in the sea this summer perhaps consider donating the cost of your next pint/coffee to this vital service.

#SafeGuarding children is everyone’s responsibility. Shout out to the @EastMidRailway conductor who has spotted a lone young person, without any belongings and on the wrong train and taken him into his care to be met at the next station for support. #EverydayHeroes

Really helpful chart to consider guidance for font size depending on viewing mode i.e. f2f vs online display of slide decks. I’m now off to try out 5pt font to view online!
Consistency of font size between slides feels important to reduce eye strain of refocusing.

This might help: a chart I found and used when explaining text size for displays. So, no, you aren't over thinking. The nearer, the smaller font can be and vice versa. As you would expect.

So….font size on slides for online delivery. Can/should the font size be smaller if you’re viewing the slides on a computer screen vs sitting a distance away from a physical screen? Am I over thinking this?! @olicav @DonaldClark
